Homerun Resources Inc. ("Homerun" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has secured the services of a specialized consultant, who will support the immediate development of the feasibility study for the implementation of the Company's planned solar glass plant in Camaçari, in the State of Bahia, Brazil.
Mr. Joel Rovaris Ferrari, a Brazilian citizen, is a seasoned industrial manager in the sectors of solar energy, ceramics and industrial chemistry. He graduated with a degree in Ceramics Technology and has an MBA in Personnel Management, Business Administration and Marketing Management. He is also attending further specialization in Materials Engineering and Production Engineering.
Mr. Ferari has more than 25 years of experience including implementation of zero-base industrial projects, with particular focus on developing the supply chain logistics and staffing. Such projects have included a solar panel assembly plant and porcelain / ceramic tile plants throughout the Northeast region of Brazil.
The Company has secured Joel's consulting services with an immediate focus on gathering the necessary information regarding cost of supplies, energy, labor and raw materials in the region of Camaçari, supporting the calculation of the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) for the Company's solar glass manufacturing plant, being developed in partnership with HORN Glass Industries (Germany).
This consulting hire will support Homerun's Phase 3 Business Plan Roadmap and is in line with the commitment under its partnership with Companhia Baiana de Pesquisa Mineral (CBPM), within the scope of the 40-year lease agreement between the parties.
