HPQ Silicon Resources (HPQ:TSXV) is a Canadian producer of Silicon that is building a line of specialty silicon products needed for electric batteries. More than just lip service, HPQ has already announced NDA's with 2 undisclosed companies in the space and has hinted at other NDA's that are so tight they could not even be announced. But October 22, 2020 HPQ Silicon went from "a company that is just talking to auto and battery manufacturers to a company that is doing business with a global auto manufacturer" according to CEO Bernard Tourillon, after the Company announced: HPQ NANO Receives First Order for Spherical Nano Silicon Material from Major Automobile Manufacturer Tourillon went to intimate that this order puts HPQ on the global silicon map that he expects to lead to significantly greater interest from the industry. This was echoed in the press release which stated: "HPQ NANO is looking forward to the December 2020 start of the Gen1 PUREVAP TM NSiR reactor in order to start delivering material as we work to keep up with the expected strong interest in our Nano Silicon products." If that wasn't enough, PyroGenesis CEO Peter Pascali was even more emphatic when he stated: "As the technology provider we would be the first to say that nothing is guaranteed. In every new application there will always be challenges along the way, both anticipated and unanticipated. With that in mind, we are happy to note that at this point in time we see nothing that should prevent us from successfully producing the desired powders using PUREVAP TM Nano Silicon Reactor . 5 YEARS ON THE SILICON ROAD LESS TRAVELED Over the past 5 years, HPQ has teamed up with 2 world renowned technology partners to manufacture high purity silicon cleaner, cheaper and better than anyone in the world - because you can't dig it out of the ground like other battery metals such as graphite, cobalt and nickel. Now HPQ is on the verge of sending samples of its industry leading silicon to NDA and other potential partners as early as December. However, despite providing shareholders with a great return during this period, HPQ's silicon strategy was still met by skepticism amongst investors who found it easier to understand traditional battery metal stories. TESLA CHANGED EVERYTHING OVERNIGHT This all changed 7 days ago on September 23rd 2020, when this headline emerged from Tesla's "Battery Day" "Tesla To Revolutionize Use Of Silicon In Batteries: Slash Costs, Increases Range" With the specific references to Silicon + Cheaper Cost + Longer Range, you would have thought HPQ wrote this headline themselves given the fact this is EXACTLY what they have been telling the world for the last 5 years. Now, thanks to the Company's latest press release and Tesla's commitment to silicon, HPQ Silicon no longer has to convince anybody that Silicon is the right track. If you are serious about battery metals and electric vehicles entering a paradigm shifting parabolic stage in the next 5 years, then you owe it to yourself to watch this interview with CEO Bernard Tourillon.
