Reports Discovery of HPQ Silica Sand in Multiple Locations on 100% Owned Tenements in Belmonte, BrazilVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 14, 2024) - Homerun Resources Inc. (TSXV: HMR) (OTCQB: HMRFF) (\"Homerun\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that the Company has performed an exploratory auger drilling program on its 100% owned silica sand tenements in the Belmonte Silica Sand District and was able to identify HPQ silica sand exploration target volumes in multiple areas across the total 7930 Hectares.HIGHLIGHTS:The concessions are contiguous to the quartzite stone operations of Saint Gobain (Brazil).HPQ silica sand is visible at surface across these tenements.The drilling was performed during a heavy rain season, which jeopardized recovery and caused water to limit the depth of several holes.Average results across all sampled drilling is 99.23% Si02 with best result being 99.80% Si02 all with very low impurities.Exploration target of over 200 million tonnes is projected within the concessions.Figure 1.

Nevertheless, there is no underground water in the drilling areas outside of heavy rain periods.Figures 2 and 3: images from the drilling site.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/4082/229945_homerun_image.jpgSamples were prepared by Homerun's geology team by sorting, homogenizing, composing, washing and bagging, and subsequently sent to SGS for Analysis. SGS uses the ICM42Q assay method, which was performed on pure SiO2 samples. The technique includes a multi-acid (HCl, HNO3, HCLO4 and HF) digestion with ICP-OES / ICP-MS finish.
