Homerun Resources Inc. Completes District Control Strategy with Purchase Agreement for 582 Hectares of Land and Surface Rights over Santa Maria Eterna High Purity Silica Sand District, in Belmonte, Bahia, Brazil

KEY HIGHLIGHTS:

With this transaction, together with previous CBPM mineral lease acquisitions and long-term supply and surface rights agreements, Homerun has completed the District Control Strategy initiated in Q1 2023 and secures long-life economic interests and control over the SME Silica Sand District, providing security of supply, scale and the location for the Company’s planned high purity silica sand industrial complex.

Homerun Resources Inc. (TSXV: HMR,OTC:HMRFF) (OTCQB: HMRFF) (‘Homerun’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that the Company has signed a purchasing agreement (the ‘Agreement’) over the FAZENDA CONJUNTO SÃO JOSÉ E NOVA ESPERANÇA, located in the Municipality of Belmonte, Bahia, Brazil, in the district of Santa Maria Eterna (‘SME’). The Agreement covers a total area of 582 hectares and represents the final component of the District Control Strategy initiated in Q1 2023 and secures long-life economic interests and control over the SME Silica Sand District, providing security of supply, scale and the location for the Company’s planned high purity silica sand industrial complex.

Completing the SME District Control Strategy

Over the past three years, Homerun has executed a staged consolidation strategy over the SME Silica Sand District, starting with a stated plan but no initial position in the SME District, the Company has now secured mineral leases, supply agreements, surface rights and now direct land ownership within the SME District. This strategy has now delivered the competitive advantage of effective district-scale control of this unique high-purity silica resource which can provide decades of substantial silica sand supply for downstream industrial use.

The land being acquired under the Agreement for Fazenda Conjunto São José e Nova Esperança is directly contiguous with Homerun’s 99-year, renewable surface rights over Fazenda São José, which were secured in December 2025 specifically for the installation of the Company’s silica sand industrial complex, including processed silica and solar glass manufacturing. Together with Homerun’s three CBPM mineral lease acquisitions and its long-term Material Supply Agreements, this land position completes the SME District Control Strategy.

Brian Leeners, CEO of Homerun stated, ‘Just over three years ago we were the only party to identify the globally unique value of the SME Silica Sand District as a critical material supply for the global solar and energy storage sectors. At that time, we set about on an ambitious plan to commercially control the SME Silica Sand District. An ambitious plan considering Homerun had no position in the district and minimal financial resources, at that time. That original plan has manifested today into Homerun obtaining that desired control of the SME Silica Sand District through direct resource ownership, resource partnership and direct land ownership. Homerun’s SME control is a key requirement for the execution of the next phases of the Company’s strategic plan – developing and capitalizing Homerun’s high-margin silica processing and antimony-free solar glass manufacturing in the SME Silica Sand District on the industrial site now controlled by Homerun.’

The US$ 1,100,000 purchase price under the Agreement is, to be paid as follows:

US$ 500,000 via wire transfer, in 5 equal and successive monthly installments, the first installment being due on June 25, 2026.
US$ 600,000 in Homerun common shares, priced at market value at the time of the Agreement which is CA$1.00, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approvals and the four-month statutory hold period and to re-purchase and anti-dumping clauses.

The Agreement also transfers the standard Brazilian Mineral Lease/Royalty Rights for mineral exploration with Third Parties from resources within land/surface rights areas.
