Q PRECIOUS & BATTERY METALS CO Stock Price, News & Analysis

Q Precious & Battery Metals (OTC:BTKRF) has reported promising initial results from its natural hydrogen exploration in Nova Scotia's Apple River-Shulie-Sandy corridor. The company's soil gas sampling revealed significant hydrogen concentrations, with 30 samples exceeding 500 ppm and peak readings of up to 1,033 ppm.

The exploration, conducted in partnership with QIMC and INRS, collected over 400 soil-gas samples, showing consistent hydrogen anomalies between 120-450 ppm. The project area features ideal geological conditions, including east-trending faults, granitic-gneisses, and favorable lithological structures. The company plans to initiate advanced geophysical surveys in September 2025 and commence exploration drilling in Q4 2025.

Q Precious & Battery Metals (OTC:BTKRF) announced progress in its clean natural hydrogen initiatives across Eastern Canada. The company congratulated Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (QIMC) on securing a 5,000-meter drill permit from the Quebec government, marking a significant regulatory milestone.

In Nova Scotia, QMET reported the successful collection of over 50 soil gas samples in collaboration with QIMC and the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS). The company also holds clean natural hydrogen properties in Quebec's Matane region, strengthening its strategic presence in Eastern Canada.

Q Precious & Battery Metals (OTC:BTKRF) has launched a natural clean hydrogen soil sampling program in Nova Scotia through a strategic collaboration with Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (QIMC), the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS), and Temiscamingue First Nations.

The exploration program will utilize non-invasive soil gas sampling techniques and geophysical surveys, leveraging QIMC and INRS's successful exploration model from their St-Bruno-de-Guigues project in Quebec. The initiative aims to identify and evaluate natural hydrogen assets in Nova Scotia's geological formations.

The Temiscamingue First Nations will actively participate, contributing their traditional ecological knowledge to enhance the exploration activities. The collected data will guide phases 2 and 3 of the program.

Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp. (QMET) and Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (QIMC) have completed initial geological reconnaissance and launched a $200,000 Phase 2 exploration program for natural hydrogen in Nova Scotia. The Phase 2 program, starting July 2025, will include over 1,000 soil gas samples collected at 50-100 meter intervals along fault zones. The program will detect hydrogen, methane, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide, complemented by radiometric gamma measurements. INRS experts will provide real-time data interpretation to identify high-grade hydrogen zones. The initial phase successfully identified critical geological fault zones and structural features. Temiscamingue First Nations members will participate in the project, building on their previous collaboration with QIMC at the St-Bruno-de-Guigues project in Quebec.

Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp. (BTKRF) has finalized its acquisition of the Colchester project, which includes 8 licenses covering 559 claims in Nova Scotia. The property is strategically located adjacent to Quebec Innovative Materials Corp.'s Nova Scotia hydrogen district. Under the acquisition terms, QMET paid $25,000 non-refundable payment and issued 8 million common shares to the sellers. The agreement includes a 2.0% royalty on revenues from hydrogen or mineral sales, with an option to purchase 50% of the royalty for $2 million. The transaction requires CSE approval, and the issued securities have a four-month and one-day holding period.

Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp. (BTKRF) has entered into an acquisition agreement for the Colchester project, comprising 7 licenses with 559 claims covering 89.44 square kilometers adjacent to QIMC's Nova Scotia hydrogen district.

The acquisition terms include a $25,000 non-refundable payment and 8,000,000 common shares issuance, plus a 2.0% royalty on hydrogen and mineral sales revenues, with an option to purchase 50% of the royalty for $2,000,000.

The Colchester project features strategic geological conditions for natural hydrogen and helium production, including deep structures, sedimentary depth over 7 kilometers, and strong geothermal gradients. QMET will utilize QIMC's exploration model, proven at their St-Bruno-de-Guigues property, to accelerate exploration in the Cumberland Basin.

Q Precious and Battery Metals Corp (CSE: QMET, OTC: BTKRF) has initiated diamond drill mobilization at the La Corne South project near Val d'Or, Quebec. The company is targeting two priority geophysical anomalies, EMG-1 and EMG-2, located approximately two kilometers south of their 2024 drilling sites.

Previous drilling in 2024 yielded significant results, including:

• Hole 24LCS-01: 0.83% copper equivalent over 25.45 meters, with sections containing up to 4.2% copper
• Hole 24LCS-03: 1.17% copper equivalent over 7.9 meters, including sections with 2.68% copper

The new phase focuses on TDEM anomalies EMG-1 and EMG-2, potentially located within the same volcanic horizon. First Class Diamond Drilling Inc., which successfully completed the first three drill holes in 2024, will continue the drilling operations. The program includes access to 5 additional target areas along a two-kilometer corridor.

Q Precious and Battery Metals Corp (CSE: QMET, OTC: BTKRF) has initiated construction of access and drill pads at its La Corne South project near Val d'Or, Quebec. The company is developing 1.5 kilometres of excavated access and four drill pads to test two priority geophysical targets.

First Class Diamond Drilling Inc., which successfully completed three drill holes in 2024, has been contracted for both construction and drilling operations. The 2024 drilling program yielded significant results, intercepting massive and disseminated sulphides containing copper, silver, zinc, and gold.

The upcoming phase will explore similar geophysical anomalies approximately two kilometres south of the 2024 drilling sites. With permit amendments approved for the new target areas, drilling is scheduled to begin next week.

Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp (CSE: QMET, OTCPK: BTKRF) has announced two significant developments: the closure of its first private placement tranche and the completion of the Matane Hydrogen Project acquisition.

The company raised $536,555.03 through a combination of flow-through shares at $0.09 per share and non-flow-through units at $0.075, with each unit including one common share and a two-year warrant exercisable at $0.10. The company paid $22,875 in finder's fees and issued 85,000 finder's warrants.

For the Matane acquisition, the company:

• Paid $25,000 to Zadkiel Holdings
• Issued 6 million common shares to sellers
• Granted a 1.2% revenue royalty to sellers (50% buyable for $1.2M)
• Issued 4 million shares to Quebec Innovative Materials Corp
• Granted QIMC a 0.80% revenue royalty (50% buyable for $800,000)

The Matane Hydrogen Project covers 80 claims spanning 26 kilometers along the Schicksock-South fault zone, featuring potential for natural hydrogen formation through oxidative hydrolysis and radiolytic reactions.
