The QI Materials field team has completed the first pass of field exploration and development work on the Company's wholly owned River Valley Silica project, located in the Sudbury mining division of Ontario, Canada. The Company is now processing the data and commencing preliminary modelling and quarry designs. The QI Materials team performed a variety of work scopes in the advancement of this project which included: Establishment of access.

Detailed topographic survey of the silica formation. Quartz outcrop stripping and cleaning. Detailed geological mapping, sampling, and channel sampling.

Sample collection for metallurgical and other analysis. Sample collection for testing with the QI Materials' pilot plant. The Company also performed a site visit with the engineering team from OptiSim Mining Solutions, of Sudbury, Ontario for the purpose of preliminary quarry design, engineering, and permitting.

Charlevoix Silica Project. TheQI Materials team is currently at the Charlevoix Silica project completing the final field work of the season. The team is following up on the newly discovered high grade zones announced in August 2023.

The scope of this program includes: Establishing access to the new high-grade zones. Detailed geological mapping and sampling. Quartzite outcrop stripping and cleaning.

Channel sampling. Exploration and prospecting to trace out the surface expression of the quartzite formation. Sample collection for metall surgical and other analysis.

Sample collection to testing with the QI Materals' pilot plant. Samples from both the River Valley and Charlevoix Silica Projects are being processed and prepared for shipment to various clients for evaluation, as well as to potential future customers.
