Hello,
A 2017 press release states: MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC--(Marketwired - April 25, 2017) - HPQ Silicon Resources Inc ("HPQ") (TSX VENTURE:HPQ)(FRANKFURT:UGE)(OTC PINK:URAGF) would like to inform its shareholders of the following significant advances in its Purevap™ project with strategic partner PyroGenesis Canada Inc ("PyroGenesis").
Work is now transitioning from bench scale testing to Pilot Plant, as PyroGenesis approaches completion of phase 1 of the Process Characterization phase. Bench scale testing will continue and overlap with the start of equipment purchase and assembly of the Pilot Plant. The purpose of the Process Characterization bench scale work is threefold: Determine the best and most efficient way to scale up the PUREVAP™ QRR process.....
....PyroGenesis has continued testing modifications to the process to include upgrading the Bench scale testing Plant process from batch to semi - batch processing to test for improve efficiencies.
The previously announced bench scale testing for 5N purity will commence shortly. HPQ has carefully prepared batches of 99.5% SiO2 derived from its Roncevaux quartz property, selected and sorted using XRF scanning, manually crushed and has now been delivered to PYR. Once completed, a report on the purity testing, as mentioned in January (press release January 29,2017) will be finalized.
Project work remains on time and on budget, equipment procurement phase for the Pilot Plant has begun....."
Is this the same project PYR is working on with HPQ Nano and Silica Polvere Inc? How many projects does PYR have with HPQ, how long has each been in development and have any ever produced any earnings from operations (not from one time gains re unusual items posted for perceived value from investment income) meaning from the sale of goods to third party customers? Do you anticipate any contracts to be secured this fiscal year re any HPQ project?
Thanks
SALLY
