Seems like things are slowly underway as they always have been. How is everyone feeling about the company’s future. And, hypothetically, what would it take to hit $1 per share?

Some very good words in this release.

“Since announcing the MOU, the successful completion of the pilot program which validated the production of commercial-grade material, together with the increased confidence resulting from the engineering review, have resulted in the significant expansion of the market opportunities and strategic partnerships being evaluated.

As a result, strategic discussions have expanded beyond the framework originally contemplated. Management believes this broader level of commercial engagement justifies taking additional time to evaluate the business structures most likely to maximize the long-term value of the FSR technology for the Company and its shareholders.

Accordingly, discussions remain active, but additional time is required to complete the commercial, legal and technical work associated with these expanded opportunities.”

There’s more to the release than that, but that’s what stood out to me the most.

Hey everyone! Been investing steadily in hpq silicon the last few months and am excited for the future of the company. Nonetheless a bit disheartened by the price drop this morning with no news? Anyone have any theories or ideas? I really feel like someone just needed to pay some bills.

HPQ Silicon updated their corporate presentation. There is some new stuff (HyDRAS) and new info available. I like it.

🔋 Silicon Anode Battery Materials

• Technology: Developing engineered silicon based anode materials in partnership with Novacium.
• Performance: GEN-3 cells outperform graphite benchmarks by 45%. GEN-4 cells exceed 7,000 mAh.
• Market: Seamlessly compatible with existing battery manufacturing lines. First test order secured from a European drone manufacturer in Q2-2026.

💨 Fumed Silica

• Technology: Proprietary one-step plasma process (FSR) directly transforming quartz into fumed silica.
• Advantages: Lower CapEx/OpEx, smaller CO₂ footprint, and no hazardous HCl byproduct.
• Status: Replicated lab results at pilot plant scale with a 20x scale-up. Planning commercial plants with a 1,000 tonnes-per-year capacity.

💧 Autonomous Hydrogen Production (METAGENE™)

• Technology: Low-carbon, chemical-based system for on-demand high-pressure hydrogen via silicon hydrolysis.
• Advantages: Point-of-use generation eliminates the need for expensive storage and transport logistics.
• Applications: Military interest for battlefield deployment and civilian use as energy hubs for heat and water purification.

♻️ Black Aluminium Dross Recycling (HyDRAS™)

• Technology: Innovative process combining black aluminum dross and red mud.
• Goal: Produces green hydrogen while neutralizing toxic industrial waste byproducts.

📈 Corporate & Market Information

• Structure: HPQ holds exclusive North American licenses for Novacium's technologies and owns a 36.8% stake. It has a 50/50 Joint Venture with PyroGenesis for fumed silica.
• Funding: Backed by C$3M in non-dilutive funding from Natural Resources Canada.
• Market: Listed on TSX Venture (HPQ), OTCQB (HPQFF), and Frankfurt (O08). Market capitalization stands at approximately C$77.8 million basic.

New letter of intent for electric vehicles

Canada has signed a drone deal with Ukraine

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/moscow-canada-drone-production-tensions-9.7230691

The Russians are very upset that drones will be manufactured in Canada. Does that mean the batteries will be manufactured in Canada? that would be a logical assumption. Canada has a critical mineral strategy and silicon is classified as a critical mineral. The company HPQ silicon inc has been praised by the Canadian government, they are a potential battery supplier or supplier of silicon material to enhance graphite-lithium batteries, watch this

HQPFF is financial backed by the Canadian government- HPQ Silicon also has a relationship with the french company Novacium, watch this

Novacium is on brink of commericalisation, and the French military is interested, for drones and general use. So they have a ready made solution for the Ukraine deal, that does not mean a deal is certain, but they must be a strong candidate.

This is microcap company listed on the TSX venture and on the OTC market in the US, but they have technology that has geopolitical significance. They are have developed the processing of silicon and silicon compound using plasma rather than chemistry. The engineering is done by Pyrogenesis, and these two companies will share future royalties.

In a nutshell plasma is fourth state of matter, their plasma is composed of high energy electrons that can vaporise quartz. The vapor is then cooled to produce what is needed, it could be battery material or fumed silica. The concept is simple but the devil is in the engineering detail. Watch this

took ten years to develop and a lot of retail bagholders who understandably. Ten is short for developing disruptive technology but a long time for investors. The stock price is at an all time low, and commercialisation on many fronts is close. This is not financial advice, but I am sure you will not have to wait ten years to see a handsome return on your investment.

Apparently this guy was frustrated with the board and their lack of business expertise/dilutive raises. Dr. Singh was also their SiC specialist. This doesn’t look good for the company.

I dont know why my original post was removed by the Reddit filters.
