Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 24, 2026) - Homerun Resources Inc. (TSXV: HMR) (OTCQB: HMRFF) ("Homerun" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has executed a binding Sales Distribution Contract with Cristal Sand Group Ltda. ("Cristal Sand") for the sale of high-purity industrial silica sand extracted from the Santa Maria Eterna ("SME") Silica Sand District in Belmonte, Bahia, Brazil, for delivery into the Brazilian luxury construction market.

The 12-month contract grants Cristal Sand exclusivity within its defined market and secures initial commercial volumes of Homerun's high-purity industrial silica sand, with deliveries expected to start with a minimum annual threshold and expand over time as the relationship and end-market demand scale. Cristal Sand has committed to invest in marketing and commercial activities related to Homerun's industrial silica sand, with the objective of building a premium position in high-end construction applications.

This Sales Distribution Contract represents Homerun's first binding commercial sales contract for industrial silica sand from Santa Maria Eterna and marks a critical execution milestone for the Company as it transitions from project development to revenue-generating operations. The marketing and distribution model implemented under this Sales Distribution Contract is Homerun's preference pathway for building a B2B network for industrial silica sand sales. In parallel, Homerun continues to receive considerable inbound interest and requests for proposals (RFPs) from additional potential customers evaluating the Company's SME industrial silica sand for a range of industrial applications.

Brian Leeners, CEO of Homerun, commented: "Today's agreement is a watershed moment for Homerun and our shareholders. It is our first binding sales contract for Santa Maria Eterna and effectively checks the box on being 'Open for Business' with our industrial silica sand platform. There were many deliverables required to get to this point in our business strategy - so well done to the Homerun Team and in particular Joel Ferari, our VP of Business Development. We see this initial contract as the tip of the iceberg in terms of the broader demand we are seeing for high-purity industrial silica sand within the Brazilian market. Our team focus is on flawless execution with Cristal Sand and on converting the growing pipeline of inbound interest and RFPs into additional long-term commercial industrial silica sand marketing, distribution and sales relationships."

Evandro Otto, Commercial Director of Cristal Sand stated, "For Cristal Sand, this agreement represents much more than growth. It is the consolidation of a position in the luxury segment, raising the level of delivery and expanding its capacity to meet increasingly demanding projects. We are very happy with this partnership. It is an important step that reinforces our vision of the future and the commitment to always offer the highest standard to the sector."
