Silicon Metals Corp. Expands Ontario Holdings and Prepares for Investor Presentation

Silicon Metals Corp. (CSE: SI; OTC Pink: SLCNF; FSE: X6U) announced on January 20 2026 that it has acquired contiguous land surrounding its Crystal Hills project in Ontario, increasing the size of the holding by more than 300 percent. The acquisition, reported by Marketscreener.com, consolidates the company’s strategic position in a region rich in high‑purity quartz pegmatite, a key resource for silicon production.

The Crystal Hills project, located approximately 40 km north of North Bay, Ontario, already comprises five mineral claims with a total of eighteen cells covering about 400 hectares. By securing additional adjacent acreage, Silicon Metals now controls a substantially larger parcel, enhancing its ability to conduct comprehensive exploration, delineate resource potential, and accelerate development timelines. The company’s management highlighted that the enlarged property aligns with its long‑term objective of establishing a vertically integrated supply chain for silicon and related materials.

In parallel with the property expansion, Silicon Metals is preparing to engage investors and analysts at the Emerging Growth Conference on Wednesday, January 21 2026. The event will be held online from 12:30 PM to 1:00 PM EST and will feature a 30‑minute presentation by Chief Executive Officer Morgan Good and Chief Operating Officer Raymond Wladichuk. The company encourages shareholders, institutional investors, and analysts to submit questions in advance to Questions@EmergingGrowth.com or to participate live during the webcast.

Silicon Metals’ CEO and COO emphasized that the conference will provide an opportunity to discuss the company’s progress in both its Ontario and British Columbia ventures, including:

  • Maple Birch Project – a 3,000 tonne per year production permit located 30 km southeast of Sudbury, Ontario.
  • Crystal Hills Project – now expanded by 300 percent, comprising 400 hectares of high‑purity quartz pegmatite.
  • Ptarmigan Silica Project – a fully 5‑year‑permitted exploration stage project near Prince George, British Columbia.
  • Silica Ridge Silica Project – an exploration‑stage project 70 km southeast of MacKenzie, British Columbia.
  • Longworth Silica Project – an exploration‑stage project 85 km east of Prince George, British Columbia.

The company’s recent moves underscore its focus on exploration and development within Canada, particularly in regions with favorable geology for silicon production. With a market capitalization of approximately 2.64 million CAD and a trading price of 0.055 CAD on January 18, 2026, Silicon Metals continues to position itself as a niche player in the materials sector, despite a price‑earnings ratio of –1.03.

Investors and market observers will likely view the conference as a critical moment to assess how Silicon Metals plans to leverage its expanded Ontario assets and its portfolio of silica projects to drive future growth.
