His experience across mining, industrial minerals, chemicals, strategy and M&A is highly relevant to the next stages of Homerun's development. Leonardo has held senior leadership positions with globally recognized companies operating across the industrial-materials value chain. His experience in evaluating growth opportunities, guiding strategic transactions, advancing industrial operations and building international partnerships will be a valuable addition as Homerun progresses its silica-processing platform in Brazil, and expands into solar glass, energy storage and advanced silica materials."

Mr. Cunha currently serves as a member of the advisory boards of CICC and Rosetta Omics and is a professor at Toulouse Business School (TBS). He is also a former board member of Jundu Mineracao, bringing prior public and private company governance experience directly relevant to Homerun's continuing development in Brazil.

Mr. Cunha commented: "Homerun has assembled a differentiated position in high-purity silica and is advancing an ambitious strategy to develop downstream value-added applications in Brazil. I look forward to working with the board and management team as the company progresses its industrial development plans and pursues strategic opportunities across the silica, solar, energy-storage and advanced-materials sectors."

In connection with his appointment, and subject to board and TSX Venture Exchange approval, where required, Mr. Cunha will receive incentive stock options to acquire up to 500,000 common shares of the company at an exercise price of 75 cents per share. The options will have a five-year term and will be governed by the company's stock option plan and applicable regulatory requirements.
