From the Company's current stockpile of high purity samples, QI Materials Corp. will provide HPQ with approximately half a tonne of high purity quartz material. The material will be used by HPQ in their production of engineered SiOx materials for battery anodes and fumed silica via HPQ's proprietary Fumed Silica Reactor. 

"As our SiOx materials for battery anodes and our Fumed Silica projects move forward, our partnership with QIMC with their ability to supply us with the high purity quartz required, allow us to focus our energy on developing our technologies," stated Mr. Bernard Tourillon, President and CEO of HPQ Silicon Inc.

"We are very excited to be fulfilling this order from our strategic partner HPQ. We look forward to further scaling up our operations to meet HPQ's growing demand for high grade silica" stated John Karagiannidis, Chairman of QI Materials.
