  • Plans To Issue Dividend To Shareholders Via Spin Out Of Gold Projects
  • Legal name of Corp been changed to HPQ Silicon Resources Inc.
  • Changing its TSX Venture stock symbol to HPQ
  • Upon completion, shareholders of the company will own shares in two exciting companies, each of which will independently focus and advance their respective assets to create even further shareholder value

Montreal, Quebec, Canada / July 11, 2016 – Uragold (TSX Venture: UBR) is pleased to announce that its has received, from Industry Canada, a Certificate of Amendment under the Canada Business Corporations Act confirming the legal name of the Corporation has been changed to HPQ Silicon Resources Inc.

In addition, the Company will be changing its TSX Venture stock symbol to HPQ.

The exact date for the retirement of the old symbol and the start of trading under the symbol HPQ has not yet been finalized by the exchange but is expect shortly. It will be preceded by the issuance of a bulletin by the Exchange announcing the change.

REASON FOR NAME AND STOCK SYMBOL CHANGE

On March 11, 2016, the Company announced “Uragold Plans To Issue Dividend To Shareholders Via Spin Out Of Gold Projects”. The purpose of the spin out was to segregate the company’s valuable but diverse holdings to unlock even greater value for shareholders as follows:

  1. 1.High Purity Quartz & Solar Grade Silicon Metal Process – These assets and operations will remain within HPQ Silicon Resources (formerly “Uragold Bay”).
  2. 2.The Beauce Gold Project – This asset will be spun out into a new publicly listed vehicle, with details to be announced in the very near future. Shareholders of HPQ Silicon Resources (formerly “Uragold Bay”) will receive shares in the new company.

Upon completion, shareholders of the company will own shares in two exciting companies, each of which will independently focus and advance their respective assets to create even further shareholder value.

A NEW CORPORATE IDENTITY

“Our new corporate identity represents another milestone in the Company’s transformation into a vertically integrated and diversified High Value Specialty Materials Company. We will be exclusively focused on becoming a High Purity Quartz Supplier and the Cleanest, Greenest and Lowest Cost Producer of Solar Grade Silicon Metal, thanks to our exclusive worldwide licenses to use PyroGenesis’ PUREVAP(TM) Quartz Vaporization Reactor, (“QVR”),” said Bernard J Tourillon Chairman and CEO. “We plan to reveal a more complete view of the HPQ Silicon brand and an updated website in the comings weeks but wanted to provide advance notice of these changes to our valuable shareholder base.”

About HPQ Silicon

HPQ Silicon Resources Inc (Formally Uragold Bay Resources) is a TSX-V listed junior exploration company planning to become a vertically integrated and diversified High Value Specialty Materials Company. Our Business model is focused on developing unique projects that can generate high yield returns and significant free cash flow within a short time line.

High Value Specialty Materials

In September 2015, PyroGenesis announced that it had filed for a provisional patent for the PUREVAPTM Quartz Vaporization Reactor (QVR) process, which it noted was able to produce silicon, at a lower cost, while generating less CO2 emissions than current processes.

On April 19, 2016, PyroGenesis announced that early test results of the PUREVAPTM QVR process have demonstrated that it can transform high purity quartz into silicon metal. The PUREVAPTM QVR validation program his now in its second stage whereby the operational parameters of the reactor are adjusted in order to achieve the transformation of HPQ Silicon Quartz into Solar Grade Purity Si.

On June 29, 2016, HPQ Silicon announced that first pass analytical process confirms the ability of the PUREVAPTM process to create high purity silicon metal exceeding 99.9% and that samples are to be sent to a specialized laboratory in the United States to determine the precise purity levels of the Silicon Metal.

HPQ Silicon, with its worldwide exclusive usage of PyroGenesis’ PUREVAP(TM) QVR, is endeavouring to become a vertically integrated Silicon Metal (98.5% Si), High Purity Silicon Metal (99.99% Si), Solar Grade Silicon Metal (6N Purity / 99.9999% Si) and/or Higher (9N Purity / 99.9999999% Si) producer.

The PUREVAP(TM) QVR process’s big advantage is its one step direct transformation of Quartz into High Purity Silicon Metal Solar Grade Silicon Metal and/or Higher Purity product, thereby potentially allowing Uragold to manufacture high value material for the same operating cost presently being paid by traditional producers to make Metallurgical Grade Si (98.5% Si) using the traditional arc furnace approach.

The Science Behind PyroGenesis PUREVAP(TM) QVR Process Is Solid:

-Plasma arc based process can and has transformed High Purity Quartz into Mg Si.

-Plasma arc based process can and is being used to purify Mg Si into higher value materials such as Sg Si.

-Finally, refining Mg Si using an electron-beam furnace in a high vacuum-processing environment has proven the concept of the elimination of elements whose vapor pressures are higher than that of silicon.

What is unique and ground breaking is the combination of these three proven processes into one step.

A Green And Clean Company

HPQ Silicon Uragold, with its worldwide exclusive usage of PyroGenesis’ PUREVAP(TM) QVR will also be implementing a process to make Sg Si, which is estimated to generate 14.1 kg CO2 eq/Kg SG Si, versus the 54.0 kg CO2 eq/Kg SG Si of emissions generated by the Siemens process (90% of the present production process). This represents 75% fewer greenhouse gas emissions, which is justified by elimination of the emissions emanating from the use of chemicals, as well as, energy consumption from the additional purification step.

High Purity Quartz Properties

HPQ Silicon is also the largest holder of High Purity Quartz properties in Quebec, with over 3,500 Ha under claims. Despite the abundance of quartz, very few deposits are suitable for high purity applications. High Purity Quartz supplies are tightening, prices are rising, and exponential growth is forecast. Quartz from the Roncevaux property successfully passed rigorous testing protocols of a major silicon metal producer confirming that our material is highly suited for their silicon metal production.

Purevap(TM) Produces Pure Silicon Metal Material That Exceeds 1st Lab Threshold; Material Being Sent To 2nd Specialized Lab In United States For Detailed Analysis $UBR.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:10 AM on Wednesday, June 29th, 2016

  • Analysis confirms production of high purity silicon metal in all tests
  • Extremely low impurity levels exceed lab detection capabilities
  • Results Enter Project into next phase
  • Testing protocol moving forward

MONTREAL, QUEBEC–(June 29, 2016) – Uragold (TSX VENTURE:UBR)(FRANKFURT:UGE)(OTC PINK:URAGD) is pleased to inform its shareholders that INRS – ETE (Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique, Eau Terre Environnement) Laboratory in Quebec City has advised Uragold that the first batch of samples produced by the PUREVAPâ„¢ Quartz Vaporization Reactor (QVR) following restart (May 25, 2016 Press Release) have been analyzed.

ANALYSIS CONFIRMS PRODUCTION OF HIGH PURITY SILICON METAL IN ALL TESTS

Multiple surface readings were completed using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) associated with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) on samples T6, T7 and T9. The analyses confirm production of High Purity Silicon Metal (Si) by the PUREVAPâ„¢ QVR during all of the tests but the final purity level in ppb (parts per billion) is yet to be determined.

EXTREMELY LOW IMPURITY LEVELS EXCEED LAB DETECTION CAPABILITIES

Of significant interest is the fact that 22 different readings of 100% Si were observed. This can be attributed to the fact the impurity levels of the samples are so low that they were below the impurity detection level of the method utilized by INRS – ETE (1,000 ppm). As such, the method used detected purity levels greater than 99.9% Si and were rounded up to 100%. This first pass analytical process confirms the ability of the PUREVAPâ„¢ process to create high purity silicon metal exceeding 99.9% and the samples will now been sent to a specialized laboratory in the United States to determine the precise purity levels of the Silicon Metal.

“We are encouraged by these results as they confirm our expectations of our PUREVAPâ„¢ process,” said Pierre Carabin, Director of Engineering of PyroGenesis. “We are looking forward to receiving the additional tests results from the specialized laboratory in the US. In the meantime, we continue to pursue our testing program.”

Bernard Tourillon, Chairman and CEO of Uragold stated, “These test results represent a significant milestone as one of the key goals of our project has been reached – the establishment of a high purity (99.9+%) baseline for the material produced by the reactor. Reaching our goal of transforming Uragold Quartz into Solar Grade Purity Silicon seems even more attainable.”

RESULTS ENTER PROJECT INTO NEXT PHASE

At the outset, theoretical modeling of the process indicated that transforming Uragold Martinville Raw Quartz into High Purity Silicon Metal was feasible. Today’s results now validate this. Therefore, the program is now moving beyond the metallurgical testing phase into an R&D program strictly focused on improving the PUREVAPâ„¢ QVR beneficiation capability for the express purpose of determining maximum purity and advancing to the pilot plant stage.

TESTING PROTOCOL MOVING FORWARD

The original test protocols called for any material that exceeded the lower limit of detection of the SEM-EDX to be further tested using Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) analysis. The Lab has advised the INRS that it lacked a High Purity Silicon Quality Assurance Standards for LA-ICP-MS analysis in order to validate results. Furthermore, because of contamination risk associated with the Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry testing, it was decided the material should be sent to a specialised laboratory in the US for neutron activation analysis (NAA) testing.

Testing Methodology:

The SEM-EDX analysis were completed at the INRS – ETE laboratory in Quebec City.

The scanning electron micrographs (SEM) USED are Carl Zeiss EVO® 50 smart SEM equipped with a range of imaging detectors, including: an Everhart-Thornley Secondary Electron Detector, for topographic image.

Backscattered electron (BSE) images allow the viewing of images in chemical contrast, depending of the mean atomic number of the specimen. The systems use a 4 Quadrant backscattered electron detector (QBSD).

The elemental analysis of the particles present on the surface is enabled by an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) Microanalysis System (model: Oxford Instruments, INCAx-sight EDS Detectors). This EDS is a Lithium drifted Silicon detector Si (Li). EDS can detect element from Beryllium (z=4) to Uranium (z=92). This detector must be operated at liquid nitrogen temperatures.

  • EDS Resolution: 133 eV.
  • Detection limits: 1,000 ppm

Settings used for the analysis: Accelerating voltage usually used is 20 kV, Working distance: WD: 8.5 mm for EDS analysis, for image in SE.

Sample preparation

  1. The samples were mounted on conventional 12.7 mm diameter aluminum stubs using double sided adhesive carbon discs. The all is clamped in a multi-stub holder.
  2. The samples were coated with a thin layer (20-30 nm) of conductive medium, such as gold, to increase conductivity and thus to minimise sample charge up.

Uragold, with its worldwide exclusive usage of PyroGenesis’ PUREVAP(TM) QVR, is endeavouring to become a vertically integrated Silicon Metal (98.5% Si), High Purity Silicon Metal (99.99% Si), Solar Grade Silicon Metal (6N Purity / 99.9999% Si) and/or Higher (9N Purity / 99.9999999% Si) producer.

The PUREVAP(TM) QVR process’s big advantage is its one step direct transformation of Quartz into High Purity Silicon Metal Solar Grade Silicon Metal and/or Higher Purity product, thereby potentially allowing Uragold to manufacture high value material for the same operating cost presently being paid by traditional producers to make Metallurgical Grade Si (98.5% Si) using the traditional arc furnace approach.

The Science Behind PyroGenesis PUREVAP(TM) QVR Process Is Solid:

  • -Plasma arc based process can and has transformed High Purity Quartz into Mg Si.-Plasma arc based process can and is being used to purify Mg Si into higher value materials such as Sg Si.

    -Finally, refining Mg Si using an electron-beam furnace in a high vacuum-processing environment has proven the concept of the elimination of elements whose vapor pressures are higher than that of silicon.

What is unique and ground breaking is the combination of these three proven processes into one step.

A Green And Clean Company

Uragold, with its worldwide exclusive usage of PyroGenesis’ PUREVAP(TM) QVR will also be implementing a process to make Sg Si, which is estimated to generate 14.1 kg CO2 eq/Kg SG Si, versus the 54.0 kg CO2 eq/Kg SG Si of emissions generated by the Siemens process (90% of the present production process). This represents 75% fewer greenhouse gas emissions, which is justified by elimination of the emissions emanating from the use of chemicals, as well as, energy consumption from the additional purification step.

High Purity Quartz Properties

Uragold is also the largest holder of High Purity Quartz properties in Quebec, with over 3,500 Ha under claims. Despite the abundance of quartz, very few deposits are suitable for high purity applications. High Purity Quartz supplies are tightening, prices are rising, and exponential growth is forecast. Quartz from the Roncevaux property successfully passed rigorous testing protocols of a major silicon metal producer confirming that our material is highly suited for their silicon metal production.

About Our Beauce Gold Project – Preparing To Be Spun Out To Unlock Value

The Beauce Gold Project is a unique, historically prolific gold field located in the municipality of Saint-Simon-les-Mines in the Beauce region of Southern Quebec. Comprising of a block of 37 claims 100% owned by Uragold Bay Resources, the project area hosts a six (6) km long unconsolidated gold bearing sedimentary units (a lower saprolite and an upper brown diamictite) holding the largest placer gold deposit in eastern North America. The gold in saprolite indicates a close proximity to a bedrock source of gold providing significant potential for further exploration discoveries.

Purevap(TM) Dynamic Testing Restarted and First 3 Samples Sent For Independent Analysis $UBR.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:45 AM on Wednesday, May 25th, 2016

Uragold_new

  • PyroGenesis Canada Inc. has advised Uragold that the PUREVAPâ„¢ Quartz Vaporization Reactor  validation program, now in its beneficiation stage, has restarted
  • First batch of three samples have been produced since the restart
  • Bernard Tourillon, Chairman and CEO of Uragold stated, “The quick restart of the testing program demonstrates PyroGenesis ability and commitment to the advancement of our project. We are very satisfied with the milestones reached to date and we wait with anticipation for the next key milestone results.”

MONTREAL, QUEBEC–(May 25, 2016) – Uragold (TSX VENTURE:UBR)(FRANKFURT:UGE)(OTC PINK:URAGD) would like to inform its shareholders that PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (“PyroGenesis”) has advised Uragold that the PUREVAPâ„¢ Quartz Vaporization Reactor (QVR) validation program, now in its beneficiation stage, has restarted and that a first batch of three (3) samples have been produced since the restart.

Bernard Tourillon, Chairman and CEO of Uragold stated, “The quick restart of the testing program demonstrates PyroGenesis ability and commitment to the advancement of our project. We are very satisfied with the milestones reached to date and we wait with anticipation for the next key milestone results.”

ANTICIPATED TIMELINE FOR TESTING AND RESULTS

Having already validated that the PUREVAPâ„¢ QVR process can transform Uragold Quartz into Silicon Metal (Si), (See Uragold Press Release of April 19, 2016), the new material produced by the reactor was delivered to the INRS Laboratory in Quebec City for LA-ICP-MS (Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) analysis.

Generally speaking, Uragold anticipates receiving results within two weeks but reminds investors the exact timeline is beyond its control. The goal of these tests is the establishment of a baseline purity of the material produced by the reactor under three (3) different operational conditions and quantifying beneficiation improvements attained to date.

Theoretical modeling of the process indicates that transforming Uragold Raw Quartz into Solar Grade Purity Silicon metals is feasible. Determining the baseline purity of the Si produced by the PUREVAPâ„¢ QVR and quantifying beneficiation success are crucial steps in the validation and the advancement of the program.

Tourillon added, “Reaching our goal of transforming Uragold Quartz into Solar Grade Purity Silicon seems within reach but it will probably require identifying and implementing process improvements and completing additional tests. Having said that, we are very close to reaching the point where the following recent statement made by PyroGenesis CEO, P. Peter Pascali, takes on its importance as we are about to have the information necessary to decide about advancing the project to the pilot stage – ‘We look forward to the final results of our testing program and advancing to the pilot stage with Uragold’.”

UPCOMING AGM – JUNE 22, 2016

Uragold would like to remind shareholders that our AGM will be on June 22, 2016 at 10:00 AM. Shareholders of record as of May 16, 2016 should soon receive their Information circular and proxy documentation. The meeting will be held at the offices of McCarthy Tétrault, 25th floor, 1000 Rue de la Gauchetière W, Montreal, Quebec, in the MTL/QC conference room. We invite all of our shareholders to attend, meet management, vote on agenda items and discuss the company’s milestones, as well as, future plans…

ADDITIONAL FUND RAISING

The Corporation is embarking on an accelerated development strategy where, in combination with it presents and anticipated PUREVAPâ„¢ QVR development programs; Uragold will soon be starting a field exploration campaign program on our Roncevaux Quartz Property in order to delineate a resource. This is the first step required for the preparation of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) of Roncevaux as the feed material for the PyroGenesis’ PUREVAPâ„¢ QVR process. In order to meet these goals and cover the legal and regulatory cost associated with the gold spin out, the Corporation has chosen to complete the following financing:

Private Placement
