WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

• Battery production has officially begun • First batch of cells is already in transit to clients • HPQ holds exclusive commercialization rights in North America • Technology successfully integrated by large-scale industrial partner • Target markets include military, drones, and industrial equipment

HPQ Silicon $HPQ / $HPQFF has entered a pivotal new phase. In partnership with Novacium, the company has launched industrial production of advanced lithium-ion batteries using its proprietary silicon-based anode material — a key enabler of higher performance and longer cycle life.

The first production run, consisting of cylindrical cells in 18650 and 21700 formats, has already been completed and is now ready to ship to early clients . This early delivery milestone marks a critical shift from R&D to real-world application and positions HPQ for potential near-term revenue.

STRATEGIC EXECUTION WITH GLOBAL-SCALE MANUFACTURING PARTNER

Rather than invest in costly infrastructure, HPQ partnered with an established battery manufacturer that already produces tens of millions of cells annually. This partner has successfully integrated HPQ’s material into its existing production line — validating the technology’s compatibility and accelerating time to market.

“This strategic acceleration is a response to the strong market interest,” said Dr. Jed Kraiem, COO of Novacium. “Our objective is to deliver the first commercial units and begin formalizing partnerships before the end of Q3 2025.”

That timeline points to potential commercial deliveries as early as July, and underscores growing demand from sectors like defense, drones, and specialty electronics.

HOW HPQ BENEFITS

HPQ will participate in two ways:

28% of all revenues generated by Novacium from international sales
Through direct sales under its exclusive license for North America (Canada, U.S., Mexico)

This structure allows HPQ to build recurring revenue while maintaining asset-light scalability.

WHY IT MATTERS

• First production achieved within 18 months of initial results • No need for large capital outlays — a lean, scalable model • Strategy may qualify for government funding when localized to Canada • Intentional, milestone-driven communication strategy is now paying off

LOOKING AHEAD: SMART SCALING AND STRATEGIC FOCUS

As demand grows, HPQ plans to bring battery manufacturing to Canada — a move aimed at reducing logistics costs and capturing government support. Importantly, the company is also exploring a potential future spin-out of its battery business to better align with focused investors.

BOTTOM LINE

HPQ is no longer just proving technology in the lab — it’s producing, shipping, and positioning for revenue. With early clients engaged and commercial units expected by Q3 2025, the company is delivering on its roadmap.
