Vancouver-based company, Homerun Resources Inc., has exciting news to share regarding its Tatooine Project in British Columbia, Canada. The company has recently delivered a sample of quartz silica from the project to the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of California at Davis for testing.
The research team at UC-Davis will be conducting innovative mechanical and thermal efforts to gain insights into purifying Homerun’s natural Canadian quartz silica. The goal is to upgrade the raw quartz silica using the company’s proprietary advanced femtosecond laser techniques. This process is expected to reduce impurities in the quartz sand, resulting in silica quartz grades of at least 99.99% purity.
The testing aims to achieve several key objectives. Firstly, it seeks to provide minimum workpiece distortion, ensuring the highest quality output. Additionally, the process aims to enable rapid processing, enhancing efficiency and productivity. Lastly, by utilizing advanced laser techniques, Homerun Resources aims to significantly reduce carbon footprints associated with silica processing.
The purified quartz silica will be further processed, reduced to silicon, and utilized in silicon carbide. This development holds great potential for the critical and energy materials sectors.
Homerun Resources Inc. is dedicated to operational excellence, sustainability, and building shareholder value. With this latest advancement in quartz silica purification, the company is poised to make a lasting impact in these industries.
