Homerun Resources Inc. provided an update to the previously announced 2,000-meter auger drill program at the Belmonte high-purity silica deposit in Belmonte, Bahia, Brazil. The program commenced on May 22nd, 2024, as scheduled. The contractor began drilling with one mechanical auger rig and one team and added a second team and mechanical auger rig on the 27th of May.

The technical qualificaDon of the drilling team and the quality of the equipment have been evaluated by Homerun's technical team, and they meet the Company's standard. All workers wear a full set of PPE's, the rigs are well maintained, and procedures are strictly followed. The auger drilling procedure involves the drilling team setting up the equipment using a base plate which is levelled to ensure vertical drilling.

Sampling is completed on 1 m intervals, which includes a number of auger drill rod pulls to surface as the drill bit advances only 30 to 40 cm on each run. Care is taken to scoop out contaminated material from the top of the auger bit which is calculated by measuring the advance of the bit and comparing this to amount of material retained inside the bit. Subsequently excess is removed from the bit to ensure QAQC procedures are followed.

The samples are taken to the Homerun Camp in the nearby town of Santa Maria, where sample preparation for laboratory assays are completed. Such sample preparation involves the weighing of the complete sample, quartering of the sample in order to produce a laboratory representative sample of approximately 100 grams. On completion of quartering, samples are composited based upon lithology or similar colours in composites of up to 5 m intervals. Additional quartering is completed to provide approx.

50 g of sample for future reference which is placed in a small sample bag or chip tray. AddiDonal QAQC procedures involve the use of blanks, duplicates and CerDfied Reference Material, which is added to each sample batch that is sent to SGS Geosol laboratories at Minas Gerais. All 18 holes completed to date have intercepted silica sand.

UlDmately, the Homerun Resources Geology team aims to use the informaDon generated by this drilling program to issue a 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource EsDmate. The drilling program is part of Homerun's commitment under its partnership with Companhia Baiana de Pesquisa Mineral (CBPM), within the scope of the 40-year lease agreement between the parDes.
