LAS VEGAS, Nevada – July 3, 2026 – Energy Point Minerals LLC is positioning Nevada at the center of a new strategic materials map for the United States after independent third‑party laboratory testing confirmed 6N ultra‑high‑purity silica—99.99997% SiO₂—from its flagship Nevada project. The company says the result establishes a new publicly documented global purity benchmark for naturally occurring, unprocessed silica and identifies a potentially consequential American source of advanced‑material feedstock at a time when Washington is focused on domestic mineral production, semiconductor resilience, artificial‑intelligence infrastructure and secure national‑defense supply chains.
At 6N purity, the tested silica contains approximately one part per million of impurities, placing it in an ultra‑elite category historically associated with North Carolina’s Spruce Pine district, long recognized as the global reference point for high‑purity quartz. Energy Point’s independently confirmed Nevada result signals the emergence of a second strategically important American silica jurisdiction—and a domestic material capable of resetting expectations at the outer frontier of mineral purity.
The Nevada project sits at the core of what the company describes as a Strategic Geographic Cluster: a western U.S. supply‑resiliency corridor linking Nevada mineral production with the rapidly expanding semiconductor manufacturing base in Arizona, Tesla’s Nevada operations, and major aerospace, solar, defense and advanced‑manufacturing markets across the Southwest. The site lies roughly 280 miles from the Arizona semiconductor corridor anchored by TSMC and Intel, placing ultra‑high‑purity silica within logistical reach of key chip‑fabrication and technology hubs.
Technical and legal foundations have advanced in parallel. The project is supported by a Regulation S‑K 1300 technical‑reporting framework and has entered the federal Mine Plan of Operations process, a key step for long‑term development on public lands. Geological characterization and mineral‑resource disclosure were led by independent Qualified Person Stephen L. McMillin, CPG, while a supporting legal opinion authored by Nevada attorney Evan J. Champa, Esq., a specialist in water rights and mining, reinforces the project’s regulatory credibility and multigenerational potential. Operationally, Energy Point is progressing representative sampling, reproducibility analysis, product qualification and lower‑impact processing pathways that emphasize recycled water, reduced chemical use, vinegar‑based washing and magnetic separation.
“America’s next industrial era will be built not only on what we invent, but on the strategic materials beneath our feet,” said Jason Roe, Co‑Chief Executive Officer, board member and chief strategist. “Our objective is to develop a trademarked American 6N silica platform that strengthens semiconductor independence, supports AI and aerospace leadership, and demonstrates that national development and environmental stewardship can advance together.”
Energy Point believes the discovery may establish Nevada as a new global center for ultra-high-purity silica, complementing America’s existing Spruce Pine industrial base and strengthening the secure domestic supply chains on which future technologies depend.
