In September, the company announced a partnership with PyroGenesis Canada, whereby PyroGenesis granted Uragold a worldwide exclusive right to the usage of the PUREVAP™ Quartz Vaporization Reactor technology. The unique one step technology, that uses a plasma arc within a vacuum furnace, should allow Uragold to become a vertically integrated and disruptive player in the solar industry.

Metallurgical grade silicon world consumption topped 2.25 metric tonnes in 2014, exceeding US$ 6 billion in sales. About 10% of 2014 global metallurgical grade silicon production was further refined into solar grade silicon and and/or higher purity silicon worth another US$6 billion.

Successful testing of the PyroGenesis process is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2016, which will put Uragold in a position to be the highest purity, lowest cost supplier to the solar industry.

Bernard Tourillon, Chairman and CEO, stated "The Investors interest in Uragold was primarily motivated on securing a long-term exclusive right to sell material emanating from the PUREVAP(TM) Quartz Vaporization Reactor Technology in Asia. As I stated in our September 30th release, this technology represents a potential quantum leap forward for the solar panel industry becoming a more competitive source of renewable energy."

Terms of this funding agreement are available in the company's news release of December 1, 2015.

Uragold is the largest holder of high purity quartz properties in Quebec, with more than 3,500 hectares under claims. Quartz from the Roncevaux property successfully passed rigorous testing protocols of a major silicon metal producer confirming that the company's material is highly suited for silicon metal production.

The shares are currently trading at $0.035, and with 102 million shares outstanding, the company is capitalized at $3.6 million.
