HPQ Silicon Inc. HPQ:TSX-V | HPQFF:OTCQB | O08:FRA
HPQ Silicon reported that its Fumed Silica Reactor pilot program achieved both primary objectives, reliably producing commercial-grade "150" fumed silica directly from quartz and generating the engineering data required for commercial-scale design. An engineering review by PyroGenesis strengthened confidence in commercial-scale economics, and strategic discussions have expanded beyond the original non-binding MOU for a proposed 1,000 tonne-per-year plant as market opportunities grew.
Great Atlantic Resources Corp. GR:TSXV
Great Atlantic reported that partner HM Exploration expanded the newly discovered blind massive sulphide lens at the Pilley's Island Project in Newfoundland, with holes nine and ten extending the lower zone approximately 40 metres northwest at a vertical depth of about 135 metres. The four latest holes added 1,115.60 metres for a total of 2,747.87 metres drilled; assays are pending, with a downhole EM survey and Phase Two drilling planned for fall 2026.
