The QI Materials field team's mapping and prospecting efforts have led to the discovery of newly found quartzite outcroppings with remarkably high purity grade (Figure 1). The new zones currently named zones 3, 4, and 5 occur approximately one kilometre northeast of zones 1 and 2. According to SIGEOM,the ministry of Quebec's public natural resources database, the new zones are located outside of the Zec des Martres (Figure 1). Photos of two samples collected from these new zones are presented in Figure 2.
QI材料野外小組的測繪和勘探工作已導致新發現的高純度石英岩露頭的發現(圖1)。目前命名為3區、4區和5區的新區位於1區和2區東北約1公里處。根據魁北克部公共自然資源資料庫SIGEOM的數據，新區位於Zec des Martres以外(圖1)。從這些新區域收集的兩個樣本的照片如圖2所示。
The QIMC team is currently establishing access to the newly discovered zones and performing detailed mapping and sampling to better define the quartzite formation, which is open along strike.
QIMC團隊目前正在建立進入新發現區域的通道，並進行詳細的測繪和採樣，以更好地確定沿走向開放的石英岩地層。

"What an amazing job by the field team! The majority of the samples collected from the new zones are of beautiful, clear, near-crystalline quartzite. The team is ready to push hard into the fall season to better understand the geology and dimensions of this quartzite formation," stated Raymond Wladichuk, P.Geo., CEO of QI Materials.
S說：“野外探險隊的工作真是令人驚嘆！從新區採集的大部分樣品都是美麗、透明、近乎結晶的石英岩。為了更好地瞭解這個石英岩地層的地質和尺寸，這個團隊已經準備好在秋季奮力推進。”QI材料公司首席執行官雷蒙德·弗拉迪克，P.Geo表示。
The Company has also recently received results from infill channel sample analysis on Zone 1. As discussed in the news release dated April 27, 2023, approximately half of the channel samples were retained by QI Materials for internal and purity analysis by ALS Global. The remaining half of the samples were retained by the Institute National Recherche Scientifique for analysis and for purity analysis by Act Labs. QI Materials intentionally had two different labs complete the purity analysis as a level of Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC). As shown on Figure 3 all the channel samples across the formation average over 98%, ranging as high a 99.88% SiO2.
該公司最近還收到了一區加密河道樣本分析的結果。正如2023年4月27日的新聞稿中所討論的那樣，大約一半的河道樣本由QI材料公司保留，供ALS Global進行內部和純度分析。剩下的一半樣本由國家回收科學研究所保留，由Act Labs進行分析和純度分析。齊材料有意讓兩個不同的實驗室完成純度分析，作為品質保證/質量控制(QA/QC)的一個級別。如圖3所示，整個地層中的所有通道樣本平均超過98%，範圍為99.88%SiO2.。
Silicon Metal Demand
金屬硅需求
The demand for silicon metals is steadily increasing as a result of growing needs in various sectors such as solar panels, microprocessors, and silicon alloys. This heightened demand its valuable characteristics as a semi-conductor and due to its structural properties, thereby continuing to generate favorable supply-side prospects for both silicon metal and high-purity silica feedstock.
由於太陽能電池板、微處理器和硅合金等各個部門的需求不斷增長，對金屬硅的需求正在穩步增長。這增加了對其作為半導體的寶貴特性以及由於其結構特性的需求，從而繼續為金屬硅和高純二氧化矽原料帶來良好的供給側前景。
Silicon Partnership
矽谷夥伴關係
QI Materials partnership with HPQ Silicon Inc. ("HPQ") has resulted in confirmation that QI Material's silica meets the requirements for use as feedstock in HPQ's environmentally benign, silica to silicon metal processing technology (see September 15, 2022, January 31 and February 24, 2023 Press Releases) HPQ is focussed on both green processing of silica to silicon metal and the production of silicon battery components for use in advanced silicon batteries. QIMC's focus on this partnership gives the Company exposure to an advanced battery supply chain and green processing technology that will be further explored as HPQ's plant construction continues.
QI材料與HPQ Silicon Inc.(“HPQ”)的合作夥伴關係證實，QI材料的二氧化矽符合HPQ環保的硅金屬加工技術(見2022年9月15日、2022年1月31日和2023年2月24日新聞稿)的原料要求。HPQ專注於將二氧化矽轉化為金屬硅的綠色加工和先進硅電池中使用的硅電池元件的生產。QIMC對這一合作夥伴關係的關注使公司能夠接觸到先進的電池供應鏈和綠色加工技術，隨著惠普工廠建設的繼續，這些技術將得到進一步探索。
Silica Partnership
矽石合作夥伴關係
Additionally, the Company has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Ekopav, a Canadian company focused on innovative eco-friendly solutions for the paving industry. The MOU stipulates the procurement of a specific tonnage of silica sands from QIMC for Ekopav's manufacturing of commercial asphalt products. Silica materials used in production of asphalt products are not required to be metallurgical grade. The Company is pleased to engage Ekopav as potential future purchaser of sub-metallurgical grade silica.
此外，公司還與加拿大公司Ekopv簽訂了一份諒解備忘錄(“MOU”)，該公司專注於為鋪路行業提供創新的環保解決方案。諒解備忘錄規定，從中國集團公司採購特定噸位的硅砂，用於埃科帕夫公司的商業瀝青產品製造。用於生產瀝青產品的二氧化矽材料不要求是冶金級的。本公司很高興聘請埃科帕夫作為亞冶金級白炭黑未來的潛在買家。
Metallurgical Testing
冶金試驗
As a result of the availability of tonnage-sized samples due to the successful commissioning of pilot plant, which consists of various crushing and sorting equipment (see July 17, 2023 Press Release), the Company is currently evaluating additional metallurgical testing and is expected to finalize analyses agreement and commence broad metallurgy testing shorty at an independent lab. The material testing will determine the chemically suitability for a wide variety of silica and silicon metal applications such, as medium quality feedstock, for metallurgical-grade silicon using traditional submerged arc-furnace processing. An approximately one-tonne sample of Charelvoix quartzite is being prepared for shipment for mineralogical analyses. It is expected the analyses will include X-ray diffraction analysis, chemical analyses through X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, grain size distribution, mineral processing analysis, automated optical sorting, and thermal stability testing.
由於試點工廠的成功投產，獲得了噸位大小的樣品，該工廠包括各種粉碎和分選設備(見2023年7月17日的新聞稿)，公司目前正在評估額外的冶金測試，預計將敲定分析協定，並在獨立實驗室開始廣泛的冶金測試。材料測試將確定各種二氧化矽和硅金屬應用的化學適宜性，例如使用傳統礦熱爐工藝生產冶金級硅的中等質量原料。目前正在準備一份約一噸的Charelvoix石英岩樣品，準備裝船進行礦物學分析。預計分析將包括X射線衍射分析、通過X射線螢光光譜進行的化學分析、粒度分佈、選礦分析、自動光學分選和熱穩定性測試。
