High‑Purity Silica – Technical Data & S-K 1300 Technical Framework
Energy Point Silica Project – Core Technical Parameters
The Energy Point Silica Project is hosted in a laterally continuous 300 mesh higests grade silica sandstone unit in USA on the SI claim block near Jean, Nevada. Core drilling and surface mapping confirm thickness and continuity across the principal pit areas, while independent laboratory testing documents consistently high silica grades with low deleterious oxides.

✓ Silica (SiO2) values locally exceeding 99–99.5% in selected size fractions under laboratory
conditions. ✓ Low iron (Fe2O3) and controlled alkali content supporting premium glass and high‑end industrial sand applications. ✓ Grain‑size distributions suitable for multiple product streams, including, cosmetics, glass, foundry, and potential frac‑sand specifications. ✓ API/ISO frac‑sand testing on selected samples, including crush resistance and turbidity measurements. |
✓ XRF and multi‑element assay suites from independent laboratories providing full oxide and trace‑metal
profiles. ✓ Sieve analyses and physical testing confirming favorable sphericity, roundness, and strength characteristics in key fractions. ✓ Volumetric modelling integrating core, mapping, and topography to support pit‑scale tonnage scenarios. ✓ Ongoing testwork to tune flowsheets for different purity targets and end‑use markets (glass, silicon feedstock, industrial sand, and specialty silica products). |
S-K 1300 Technical Report and Economic Assessment
All scientific and technical information for the Energy Point Silica Project has been prepared, reviewed, and approved by an independent Qualified Person (“QP”) as that term is defined in National Instrument 43‑101, and S-K 1300. The current QP of record is Steven L. McMillin, M.Sc., CPG (AIPG CPG‑11031) of Range Front Mining Services LLC.
Mr. McMillin has authored NI 43‑101 Technical Reports for public compamies on Canadian Stock exchange and NASDAQ and Energy Point Minerals LLC. The project relies where appropriate, on historical technical work and specialist third‑party studies, including volumetric modelling by Burgex, Inc., earlier work by industrial minerals geologist Frederic C. Johnson, P.G., and analytical programs conducted by American Assay Laboratories, Landmark Testing Engineering, StimLabs Inc., and Hazen Research. The resulting technical file is maintained for diligence review by banks, strategic partners, and qualified investors under appropriate confidentiality arrangements.
Applications and Strategic Positioning
With silicon recognized as a critical mineral for aero Space Manufacturing, solar, semiconductor, and advanced materials supply chains, a domestic source of high‑purity N-5 grade silica sand close to established infrastructure offers strategic advantages. Depending on product specification, Energy Point material can support glass manufacturing, industrial sand applications, potential silicon feedstock pathways, and engineered products for high‑tech markets.
Future work programs are expected to refine product portfolios, quantify NI 43‑101 mineral resources across multiple pit domains, and align technical development with emerging U.S. critical minerals policy and Project‑Vault‑style strategic mineral reserve initiatives.
