HPQ shareholders shares in BGF, a Company created to showcase the
Beauce Gold project, a fantastic but overlooked historical placer gold
district. The Beauce is Canada’s last underexplored historical placer
mining camp. It’s similar to the White Gold projects in the Yukon or the
Cariboo district in B.C., that were both placer gold mining camps as
well, but recently had major gold discoveries as placer to hard rock
exploration projects.â€

About HPQ Silicon
HPQ Silicon Resources Inc. is a TSX-V listed resource company focuses on becoming a vertically integrated and diversified High Purity, Solar Grade Silicon Metal (SoG Si) producer and a manufacturer of multi and monocrystalline solar cells of the P and N types, required for production of high performance photovoltaic conversion.
HPQ’s goal is to develop, in collaboration with industry leaders,
PyroGenesis (TSX-V: PYR) and Apollon Solar, that are experts in their

permit the transformation and purification of quartz (SiO2) into high
purity silicon metal (Si) in one step and reduce by a factor of at least
two-thirds (2/3) the costs associated with the transformation of quartz

commercial potential of the process is on schedule to start mid-2019.
