In a recent interview with AGORACOM’s George Tsiolis, HPQ Silicon CEO Bernard Tourillon provides key updates on two major developments:
✅ HPQ Silica’s pilot plant has successfully produced and collected significant volumes of material—likely fumed silica—marking a major step toward commercial validation.
✅ The TSX Venture Exchange will reinstate trading of HPQ shares on May 20, 2025. This follows the AMF’s decision to lift the cease trade order and TSX-V’s confirmation that HPQ meets all Tier 2 listing requirements.
By watching the interview, you’ll learn:
- Why this fumed silica milestone is critical to scaling up production
- What the next steps are before samples are distributed to third parties
- What led to the trading halt and how HPQ resolved it quickly
