When a leading global manufacturer of fumed silica asks a small cap company for product samples and then confirms those samples meet commercial-grade standards, it signals more than validation. It signals disruption. HPQ Silicon (TSX-V: HPQ, OTCQB: HPQFF) has achieved exactly that, advancing its one-step, cleaner, and lower-cost process for producing fumed silica from quartz.Independent Validation: Confirmed by a top global fumed silica producerGlobal Interest: 6 of the top 7 players in the world are interestedLOI With World Leader: The biggest fumed silica maker in the world has already signed an LOIScale-up achieved: After 60+ lab-scale tests producing grams of material, HPQ is now producing kilograms at pilot scale.Fumed silica is a ubiquitous material, used in food, cosmetics, construction, and advanced manufacturing. Today's market is dominated by a few entrenched players with billions invested in traditional production methods. HPQ's process lowers barriers to entry, potentially enabling even quartz deposit holders to participate in higher-value fumed silica production rather than selling raw material at low margins.As HPQ CEO Bernard Tourillon explained:“This is a pivotal validation of both the process and the product—confirming that we can now produce commercial-grade fumed silica in a single-step, scalable operation.”Management emphasized the importance of pursuing commercialization strategically, including funding commitments and offtake agreements, while safeguarding shareholder interests and intellectual property. HPQ also benefits from the support of institutional investor Investissement Québec, which holds an 8% stake — an often-overlooked factor that strengthens its position in any potential negotiations.Test #6 marks the turning point where HPQ can begin serious NDA and LOI discussions with industry partners. The company's next target is to push surface area performance above 200 m²/g, opening the door to the highest-value grades of fumed silica.With third-party validation, a dramatic scale-up from grams to kilograms, and confirmation that its bold claim is now reality, HPQ Silicon has crossed a critical threshold. In an industry ripe for innovation, HPQ is positioning itself as a potential paradigm-shifter — one that could redefine cost structures, environmental standards, and competitive dynamics across the global fumed silica market.WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWSTRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS FOR COMMERICIALIZATION PROTECTING SHAREHOLDER VALUETHE ROAD AHEADINVESTOR TAKAWAY

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWFirst-Mover Advantage: HPQ is the only known company with a proven direct process from quartz to fumed silica—cutting cost, emissions, and complexity.Two Global Giants Testing Samples: One under LOI, another under NDA and re-engaging after prior testing—signaling escalating interest and competitive optionality.Modular, Scalable Tech: Enables regional production with lower capex to capitalize on tariff wars and ESG mandates.Domestic Market Opportunity: Canada's $150–200M USD fumed silica market currently has no Canadian manufacturer — HPQ is positioned to fill that gap.When the $10 Billion industry leading manufacturer asks for early samples of your product — before you're even ready to ship — it signals more than interest. It signals intent. HPQ Silicon $HPQ / $HPQFF, alongside partner PyroGenesis, has entered a critical phase in its commercialization path for fumed silica — an essential compound used in everything from cosmetics to construction.HPQ's one-step quartz-to-fumed silica process eliminates the toxic chemicals, high emissions, and billion-dollar infrastructure typically required by incumbents who are working with outdated processes. That innovation is now moving out of the pilot plant and into the hands of world-leading producers.THE MILESTONE THAT MATTERSHPQ has shipped its first batch of fumed silica to a leading global manufacturer Evonik for evaluation. This follows third-party validation at the lab level and successful scale-up to pilot production.“This collaboration gives us access to over 80 years of real-world manufacturing and market expertise—an advantage that accelerates our development and strengthens our commercialization efforts.” — Bernard Tourillon, CEO, HPQ SiliconA second global player, which had previously received a small test batch and is under NDA, has also re-engaged — requesting additional material from a higher-quality production run. The significance: HPQ now has multiple industry leaders testing samples, placing the company in a far stronger commercial negotiation position than ever before.THE STRATEGIC OUTLOOKRather than lock into early-stage agreements, HPQ is preserving flexibility to pursue the most advantageous commercial path — whether via joint ventures, licensing, or direct production. With a clean, modular process that eliminates toxic byproducts and avoids billion-dollar capex, HPQ is not just participating in a $2B+ market — it's challenging its foundation.For investors, this isn't merely a materials science breakthrough. It's a potential paradigm shift. With validation underway, commercial discussions accelerating, and strategic optionality intact, HPQ is emerging as a first mover with the technology and timing on its side.Watch the full interview with CEO Bernard Tourillon to understand why the world's top producers are now knocking on HPQ's door.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWUntapped Market: Canada consumes ~24,000 tonnes of fumed silica annually. HPQ aims to become the country's first domestic producer.Cost Advantage: Traditional plants cost up to $150 million. HPQ's model requires a fraction of that—making it economically and environmentally superior.Global Relevance: Amid new tariffs and reshoring trends, HPQ offers a local, low-emission alternative to imported materials from China and Europe.HPQ Silicon has reached the most significant milestone in its history: independent analysis has confirmed its proprietary Fumed Silica Reactor (FSR) produced commercial-grade material. This breakthrough disrupts a global industry still reliant on a toxic, energy-intensive process that hasn't meaningfully changed since 1944.Fumed silica is essential in everyday products like cosmetics, toothpaste, batteries, and paints. Traditional production requires converting quartz into silicon metal, processing it with corrosive chemicals, and incinerating it with hydrogen gas. HPQ's process skips all that—producing fumed silica in a single step from raw quartz, with lower emissions, lower costs, and no hazardous byproducts.The validation? It comes from a third-party microscopy analysis (conducted at one of Montreal's top research universities), which confirmed that HPQ's pilot-scale product matches the morphology and structure of established, high-purity industry standards.This milestone reinforces HPQ's previously signed Letter of Intent with Evonik Industries, a $10 billion German chemical company that invented fumed silica and dominates the global market. With the technology now proven at a 20x lab scale, the door opens to further technical evaluations—and eventual commercial engagement.“We've replicated lab-scale results at 20x scale and confirmed it through side-by-side imaging. This is the single biggest milestone in HPQ's history.” — Bernard Tourillon, CEOWith this third-party validation in hand, HPQ is moving quickly to capitalize. Conversations with Evonik are already underway to determine whether this latest material batch will be shipped for qualification. Other major fumed silica producers—previously awaiting test results—have resumed discussions. Internally, HPQ continues optimizing the grade and consistency of its product through additional test cycles. With its pilot plant operating smoothly and yielding better-than-expected output, HPQ is now mapping the path to commercial production—built on scalable, industry-standard components. The momentum is real, and the company is positioning itself as a clean-tech leader in a global market ready for disruption.BOLD DISRUPTION OF AN 80-YEAR-OLD INDUSTRYSTRATEGIC INTEREST FROM A GLOBAL LEADERWHAT'S NEXT

HIGHLIGHTSScale-Up Success: The pilot unit marks a 20x scale increase from lab-scale and confirms the ability to produce and recover material in a commercial-style process.Testing in Progress: Independent lab work is underway to determine whether the material is fumed silica and assess its purity. Initial results are expected within days.Strategic Partnership: HPQ Silica Polvere previously signed an LOI with Evonik, one of the world's largest silica producers, for potential collaboration pending successful material evaluation.Commercial-Scale Capacity: The pilot reactor is designed to produce up to 50 tonnes per year, enabling consistent test runs and pre-commercial sample generation.VISUAL CONFIRMATION, INDEPENDENT TESTING AND COMMERCIAL SCALE PROMISEHPQ Silicon $HPQ $HPQFF announced a pivotal achievement in their fumed silica pilot project: the successful production and collection of white powder material from the reactor's product recovery unit—commonly referred to as the “baghouse.” Early visual analysis suggests this may be commercial-grade fumed silica, pending confirmation through independent laboratory testing now underway.This is the first time HPQ's proprietary one-step, low-emission process has produced and recovered material at pilot scale, a significant leap forward in validating a system designed to disrupt a $2.2 billion market dominated by energy-intensive legacy methods.“Saying we're excited by the results would be an understatement. Achieving these outcomes so early in the testing phase significantly boosts our confidence in our ability to replicate this milestone and consistently produce commercial-quality material,” said Bernard Tourillon, President & CEO TRADE RESUMPTIONHPQ's trading status was recently reinstated for Tuesday, May 20, 2025 following a brief cease trade order related to disclosure housekeeping. Regulators found no material issues in the company's audited financials. HPQ also transitioned from Tier 1 to Tier 2 issuer status on the TSX-V—an administrative change with no operational impact.LOOKING AHEADShould the ongoing tests validate what early signs suggest, HPQ Silicon may be on the verge of a breakthrough that significantly reduces the cost and carbon footprint of producing fumed silica.“We've proven the system can be scaled—now it's about optimization and commercialization,” said Bernard Tourillon, CEO.With a functioning pre-commercial unit, high-level strategic interest, and validation now in progress, HPQ is positioning itself to challenge the status quo in advanced material manufacturing.
