Corporate Update
公司更新。
Silicon Metals has had an exciting 8 weeks since September when it changed its name, trading symbol and branding. It is our pleasure to provide an all-around update of our progress on the exploration and development of our highly prospective silica focused assets, as well update our shareholders and audience with various corporate affairs.
自9月份更名、交易標的和品牌以來,硅金屬在過去的8週中經歷了令人興奮的時刻。我們很高興向您全面更新我們在高度前景的硅礦資產勘探和開發方面的進展,同時還向我們的股東和觀衆更新各種公司事務。
We are pleased to offer an update on our operational advancements, particularly with the now 100% right, title, and interest in the ~4,000 hectare Ptarmigan Silica Project located 130 kms from Prince George, British Columbia and our recently entered into option agreements (the "Options") to earn a 100% right, title, and interest in the Silica Ridge Silica Project and the Longworth Silica Project, both of which are located in British Columbia. The Silica Ridge Project, the Longworth Silica Project and the Ptarmigan Silica Project together represent approximately 10,000 hectares of prospective silica assets spread strategically over 3 different properties.
我們很高興就我們的運營進展進行更新,特別是擁有現在的100%的權利、所有權和利益,近距離距離卑詩省喬治王子鎮130公里處的約4,000公頃Ptarmigan硅項目以及我們最近簽署的期權協議("期權")以獲得Silica Ridge硅項目和Longworth硅項目的100%權利、所有權和權益,這兩個項目都位於卑詩省。Silica Ridge項目、Longworth硅項目和Ptarmigan硅項目共佔據約10,000公頃的有前景硅資產,戰略地分佈在3個不同的地產中。
Also, the Company made a strategic move with the appointment of Mr. Kyler Hardy of Cronin Exploration Inc. to the Company's Advisory Board. Mr. Hardy has over 20 years of experience in global resource sectors. He has worked in venture capital, private equity funding, and has introduced strategic partners to advance projects.

Silica Macro Points
硅宏觀點
Silica is an integral component in advancing Artificial Intelligence technologies as well as the foundational element in the manufacturing of solar panels. Silicon is necessary in the production of semiconductors and a vital component to new energy storage technologies. As such, governments and agencies across the globe have formally identified its significance including the EU declaring it a critical raw material,i the US Department of Energy putting it on the List of Critical Materials for Energy,ii and the Canadian Government putting it on its critical minerals list.iii This has led to a vibrant global silica market which was valued at USD 49.12 billion in 2022 and estimated to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 9.9% from 2023 to 2030.iv
硅是推動人工智能技術發展的重要組成部分,也是太陽能電池製造的基礎元素。硅在半導體生產中是必需的,也是新能源存儲技術的重要組成部分。因此,全球各國政府和機構正式確定了其重要性,包括歐盟將其列爲關鍵原材料,美國能源部將其列入能源關鍵材料清單,加拿大政府將其列入重要礦產清單。這導致了一個活躍的全球硅市場,在2022年價值491.2億美元,預計從2023年到2030年將以9.9%的複合年增長率增長。
The Silica Ridge Silica Project
硅嶺硅項目
Silica Ridge covers 2,538.22 hectares and hosts a large quartzite occurrence. After a 1975 drill program carried out by Silver Standard Mines Limited, the historic explorer summarized in its memo to the B.C. government that, "five holes drilled in a relatively small area indicate a substantial tonnage of silica with the following analysis: SiO2 - 99.43 percent; Fe2O3 - 0.09 percent; Al2O3 - 0.08 percent; CaO - 0.011 percent; and LOI - 0.18 percent". Silver Standard's work was confined to the northwest corner of the property and Silicon believes there is strong exploration potential for the remaining property to expand on the known historic high-purity mineralization.
硅嶺佔地2538.22公頃,是一個大型石英岩出露點。1975年由Silver Standard Mines Limited進行的鑽探項目後,歷史性勘探者在向不列顛哥倫比亞省政府的備忘錄中總結道:「在一個相對較小的區域內鑽探的五個孔顯示了大量硅,具體分析結果爲:SiO2 - 99.43%; Fe2O3 - 0.09%; Al2O3 - 0.08%; CaO - 0.011%; LOI - 0.18%」。Silver Standard的工作侷限於物業的西北角,硅公司認爲剩餘物業存在強勁的勘探潛力,可擴展已知的歷史高純度礦化。
The Longworth Silica Project
朗沃斯硅項目
Longworth Silica property spans 3,863.06 hectares and hosts a folded sequence of sedimentary and volcanic rocks underlying Bearpaw Ridge. At least four northwest trending bands of quartzite have been mapped along the western flank of Bearpaw Ridge where thicknesses of the quartzite bands can reach up to approximately 400 metres. Eight chip samples collected in 1982 by the Geological Survey Branch of British Columbia averaged 99.5 per cent silica (BCGS Open File 1987-15). At Longworth the Company sees an opportunity to follow up on historical work and expand the known mineralization along strike to the southeast.
朗沃斯硅礦產地跨越3863.06公頃,位於Bearpaw Ridge下面的一系列沉積岩和火山岩的摺疊序列之上。不列顛哥倫比亞省地質調查分部在Bearpaw Ridge西側沿映射出至少四個西北趨勢的石英岩帶,其中石英岩帶的厚度可達約400米。1982年英屬哥倫比亞地質調查分部收集的八個反切樣品平均硅含量爲99.5%(BCGS公開檔案1987-15)。在朗沃斯,公司看到了一個機會,即繼續對歷史工作進行跟進,並將已知礦化沿着東南方向的探區擴展。
The Ptarmigan Silica Project - Currently 100% Right, Title, and Interest Owned by The Company
Ptarmigan Silica項目-目前被公司完全擁有的權利、所有權和利益
Silicon Metals advanced our ~4,000 Hectare Ptarmigan Silica property near Prince George in British Columbia, Canada, which hosts ~14 kilometers of a discontinuous structure with silica grades ranging from 97% to 98% SiO2. Through the now completed Phase 1 Exploration Program, 225 (two hundred twenty-five) samples were collected from the property during the program conducted by Hardline Exploration Corp. This included 205 (two hundred and five) outcrop grab samples, seven (seven) chip samples over 30m, and 11 (eleven) channel samples over 24 metres of channel sampling. With nearly no contaminant minerals and room to expand along strike, the project is already off to a strong start for what could be an interesting silica project in a mining-friendly jurisdiction with access to all important and necessary infrastructure.
硅金屬推進了我們在加拿大不列顛哥倫比亞省喬治王子附近的~4,000公頃Ptarmigan Silica物業,該物業擁有長達~14公里的不連續結構,硅含量在97%到98%的SiO2範圍內。通過現已完成的第1階段勘探計劃,在Hardline Exploration Corp進行的計劃期間,從該物業收集了225個樣品。這包括205個露頭採樣點、7個採石點,超出3000萬的7個石片採樣和11個採樣點,以及24米的11個槽道採樣。幾乎沒有污染物礦物,並且沿着走向還有擴展的空間,該項目已經在友好採礦區域有望成爲一個有趣的硅項目,可以獲得所有重要和必要的基礎設施。
In Summary Some Final Thoughts
總結一些最後的思考
The Company is also in the process of evaluating further high-quality silica projects to continue building out its silica portfolio. Silicon Metals has also strengthened its brain trust with the addition of an expert advisory board member in Mr. Kyler Hardy and we are proud that he and Cronin are participants in the exciting future of silica, as our growing team will continue building value, while not losing sight of powering the transition to a better world to benefit all stakeholders. We look forward to providing more updates on our progress in due course.
公司也正在評估進一步的高質量硅項目,以繼續建設其硅投資組合。硅金屬還通過增加專家顧問委員會成員Kyler Hardy的加入強化了其智囊團,並且我們很自豪他和Cronin是硅的未來的參與者,因爲我們不斷壯大的團隊將繼續創造價值,同時不忘推動向更美好世界的過渡,造福所有利益相關者。我們期待在適當時候提供我們進展的更多更新。
Morgan Good, Chief Executive Officer, and director of Silicon Metals Corp., commented: "Our Corporate Update nicely outlines the hard work and efficiency everyone on our team has accomplished in a rather short time frame. The Company is also thrilled to have Mr. Bocking join as its new President. His bountiful experience around junior mining and taking a more serious role with Silicon Metals gives confidence to our team as we work diligently to expand our human capital expertise, and our silica asset portfolio. Also, the recent listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE: X6U0), will allow a globally growing audience to have more access to the Company's recent advancements."
Silicon Metals Corp.首席執行官兼董事Morgan Good評論道:「我們的公司更新很好地概述了團隊中每個人在相當短的時間內所完成的辛勤工作和效率。該公司也很高興讓Bocking先生加入擔任其新總裁。他在初級礦業領域的豐富經驗,以及擔任硅金屬更加重要角色爲我們的團隊帶來信心,我們正努力擴大我們的人力資本專業知識和硅資產組合。此外,最近在法蘭克福證券交易所上市(FSE:X6U0),將使不斷增長的全球觀衆更多地了解公司最新進展。」
