GEN3 KEY PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

Extended Lifespan – Retains 80% capacity after 1,000 cycles
Higher Energy Output – Delivers 30% more cumulative energy than graphite

A GAME-CHANGER IN LITHIUM-ION BATTERY INNOVATION

Novacium, a France-based affiliate of HPQ Silicon Inc. ($HPQ / $HPQFF), has achieved a breakthrough in battery performance. Its GEN3 18650 silicon-anode batteries have surpassed 1,000 charge cycles while maintaining exceptional energy capacity, outperforming the industry’s leading lithium-ion alternatives.

“Reaching 1,000 cycles with such strong results isn’t just validation—it’s a breakthrough proving that silicon can compete at scale. We’re showing the industry that high-energy, long-life silicon anodes are ready now.” – Dr. Jed Kraiem, COO, Novacium

MULTIPLE NDA’S SIGNED WITH BATTERY MANUFACTURERS AND END-USERS

HPQ has already signed NDAs with multiple battery manufacturers and end-users, demonstrating strong industry interest. Additionally, the French military is currently testing HPQ’s silicon-anode batteries for high-performance applications, further validating the technology’s efficiency and scalability.

The global graphite market is projected to grow from 5.7 million tonnes in 2025 to 11.1 million tonnes by 2030, creating an addressable market valued between $27.5 billion and $55.0 billion. HPQ’s silicon material can replace up to 10 percent of graphite anodes, unlocking a multi-billion-dollar opportunity while providing a cost-effective, high-performance alternative.

HPQ is now advancing toward industrial-scale production with plans for a dedicated pilot plant, possibly through joint ventures, to meet growing demand. As a Canadian-European battery innovator, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on European investment in batteries and defense, as well as government-backed funding such as Horizon Financing.

LOOKING AHEAD

HPQ is also exploring the potential to spin off different divisions, including battery materials, fumed silica, and hydrogen technology, within the next 12 to 24 months to maximize shareholder value.

For investors seeking exposure to next-generation battery technology, HPQ is emerging as a leader in the transition to more efficient, longer-lasting lithium-ion batteries.
