Original News Release

Homerun closes rights acquisition over Guidoni

Mr. Brian Leeners reports HOMERUN RESOURCES INC. COMPLETES THE ASSIGNMENT OF THE CBPM LEASE OVER THE GUIDONI BELMONTE DISTRICT SILICA MINERAL RIGHTS Homerun Resources Inc. has completed the transaction for the acquisition of the exploitation rights from Guidoni Brasil SA for areas granted under a lease agreement with Companhia Bahiana de Pesquisa Mineral in the municipality of Belmonte, Bahia, Brazil. All tenements of the Guidoni project are fully permitted for immediate extraction/mining and at a lower royalty rate than the company's previous silica sand supply contracts in the Santa Maria Eterna district. Further to the news release dated Feb. 12, 2025, announcing the total and irrevocable assignment of all rights and responsibilities in favour of Homerun, of the rights to exploit the mining tenements 871.960/1992, 870.462/1999, 870.463/1999 and 873.387/2007, the company has executed a term of assignment with Guidoni, with the consent of CBPM, for the process No. 036.5410.2020.0001386-11, assigning the above mineral rights, subject of bid No. 004/2020, along with all its rights and obligations, to Homerun. Under the Guidoni lease terms with CBPM, the company will pay CBPM an extraction royalty of 26 reais ($4.50 (U.S.)) per tonne of extracted silica sand. Brian Leeners, chief executive officer of Homerun, stated: "In our original strategic plan two years ago, we stated that we would work methodically to consolidate control over the unique Santa Maria Eterna silica sand deposits in the Belmonte silica district, and we continue to execute on that mandate. This process requires major effort and considerable patience while building beneficial relationships and favourable terms, and I want to thank our team for their relentless efforts in this regard. We also want to thank our partners in the district, in particular, CBPM, the state-owned resource company of the government of Bahia, Brazil. These efforts continue, and, between ownership via CBPM leases and an ongoing partnership with a premier silica production company in Brazil, we are now in control of a significant majority of the silica sand in the district. Dialogue and negotiations continue with historic owners and transitional owners based on long-term legal issues over the portion of the District not under CBPM concessions. This resource base, combined with our vertically integrated approach from extraction through solar glass production, positions us uniquely as both the primary demand driver and supply controller for this unique material. With centuries of supply at our disposal, we're not just participating in Brazil's renewable energy transformation, we're enabling it while building a defensible competitive moat that extends well beyond any single market cycle." The total required payments under the agreement are 2.5 million reais, to be advanced, as follows: 500,000 reais payable against the execution of the definitive agreement for the transfer of the Guidoni rights and obligations (paid); Two million reais paid over four instalments, maturing, one by one, every six months, from the date of payment of the first instalment, adjusted by the foreign exchange rate variation from the reference rate of one U.S. dollar equals 4.9827 reais in relation to the actual closing exchange rate of the day before the maturing of each payment; the first of these four instalments was due and paid on Aug. 12, 2025.
