Gen2 Progress and Startup (Re-Sending)

posted on Dec 21, 2017 02:56PM

Hi Bernard,

I asked the questions below during your blackout period before the Apollon partnership news. Now that you have resurfaced, are you able to comment on the startup of the Gen2 plant, which has been operational for over a month now? To quote the HPQ October 16th news release:

The first key millstones of the program being:

Successfully operating the Gen 2 Purevap™ in a semi-continuous feed mode over multiple test cycles;
Successfully tapping the Silicon Metal from the Gen 2 Purevap™, over multiple test cycles

Reading this, my questions are - is Gen2 operating in semi-continuous mode as anticipated?

Can we expect any results or insights from this first round of testing, or will results/news be released once the feed is switched to high-purity feedstock?

Thanks for your time! Merry Xmas!

Duff
