Brian Leeners on the Homerun Resources’ Silicon Challenging China’s Solar-Glass Dominance

Silicon, the quiet titan of modern technology, commands a market ten to fifteen times larger than rare earths, yet it still glides under mainstream investors’ radar. That paradox is precisely what drew InvestorNews host Jack Lifton to Brian Leeners, CEO and Director of Homerun Resources Inc. (TSXV: HMR | OTCQB: HMRFF), a Brazilian-based upstart determined to rewrite the global supply story for ultra-high-purity silica. Homerun styles itself as “a vertically integrated materials leader revolutionizing green energy solutions through advanced silica technologies,” and Leeners wasted no time arguing why the claim is more than marketing gloss. “We’ve really built a platform based on a core asset—our high-quality, high-purity silica in Brazil,” he told Lifton. From that platform, he explained, spring four converging businesses: purifying quartz to 99.99-plus percent; turning that feedstock into solar glass for Brazil’s booming photovoltaic market; folding the material into a Department of Energy (DoE)–backed long-duration energy-storage system; and marrying all of it with an AI-driven energy-management platform…
