Chairman's Statement

Europe is entering a new industrial era.

The demand for critical raw materials is increasing rapidly as digitalisation, renewable energy, artificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing reshape the global economy.

Reliable access to these materials has become a strategic priority for governments, industry and investors alike.

DQ Deutsche Quarz AG was established with a clear vision: to develop one of Germany's most significant quartz resources and transform it into an integrated platform for the production of high-value quartz and silicon materials.

Our ambition extends far beyond mining.

We are building an industrial company that combines resource development, advanced processing and technological innovation to support Europe's future competitiveness.

Through responsible resource management, sustainable operations and long-term partnerships, we seek to create lasting value for shareholders, customers, employees and society.

The planned development of the Brauna I Project and associated processing facilities represents an important milestone in this journey.

Our strategy is based on long-term thinking, disciplined execution and a commitment to the highest standards of corporate governance.

We believe that DQ Deutsche Quarz AG is uniquely positioned to contribute to Europe's strategic independence in critical raw materials while participating in some of the world's most attractive long-term growth markets.

On behalf of the Supervisory Board, I thank our shareholders, partners, employees and stakeholders for their continued confidence and support as we advance towards the next stage of the Company's development.
