“FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS”
All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included herein, including, without limitation,
statements regarding future plans and objectives of the company, are forward-looking statements that
involve various risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties, and any or all of these future plans and
objectives may not be achieved.
The term Metallurgical Silicon Metal, Mg Si, and Silicon are used interchangeably and refer to high purity
silicon between 98.0% Si and 99.5% Si. The terms SoG Si, Solar Grade Silicon and Polysilicon are used
interchangeably and refer to high purity silicon used to produce solar cells for solar panel. Depending on
the production method used, chemical or metallurgical, the purity ranges from 5N+ (99.999% Si) purity for
Si produce metallurgically to 6N and 9N for Si produce via the chemical route.
These statements reflect the current expectations or beliefs of HPQ-Silicon Resources Inc. (“the
Company”) and are based on information currently available to the Company. There can be no assurance
that such statements will prove to be accurate, and actual results and future events could differ
materially from those anticipated in such statements. All of the forward looking statements contained in
this presentation are qualified by these cautionary statements and the risk factors described above.
Furthermore, all such statements are made as of the date this presentation is given.
An investment in the Company is speculative due to the nature of the its business. The ability of the
Company to carry out its plans as described in this confidential presentation is depending on obtaining the

How HPQ will implement its technological solution
By Combined Expertise In Three Critical Steps:
PyroGenesis and Apollon Solar
experts are developing a
streamlined metallurgical
pathway (UMG) for upgrading the
“PUREVAP™ Si” to HPQ Solar
Grade Silicon Metal (SoG Si)
Apollon Solar has the expertise
to transform HPQ SoG Si into
high performance multi-
crystalline and monocrystalline
solar cells: “wafers”
