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.
Québec Innovative Materials Corp. (QIMC) has provided updates on two natural hydrogen projects. At the St-Bruno-de-Guigues Project, the company reported hydrogen concentrations exceeding 7,000 ppm at 50-meter depths and is implementing deeper precision drilling. They've identified significant lithological shifts within the Cobalt Group and are deploying 800m tomographic geophysics near a multi-kilometer fault system.
QIMC also announced a strategic work program with Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp. (QMET) for the Matane Natural Hydrogen Project. The Matane project spans 26 km in the Appalachian region and features favorable geological conditions for hydrogen formation, including basaltic source rocks, Ordovician peridotites, and potassium-rich arkosic sedimentary rocks. The work program includes soil sampling, geophysical surveys, and hydrogeological studies.
Q Precious and Battery Metals Corp. (QMET) has announced significant drilling results from their La Corne South project in Val D'or, Quebec. The company completed three drill holes in fall 2024, with holes 24LCS-01 and 24LCS-03 showing strong VMS-style mineralization.
Notable results include:
- Hole 24LCS-03: 1.17% copper equivalent over 7.9 metres
- Peak values of 3.3% copper and 27.5 GPT silver
- Hole 24LCS-01: 0.83% copper equivalent over 25.45 metres
The drilling program tested approximately 50 metres of target strike length indicated from TDEM conductor and magnetic high. Two additional TDEM targets have been identified about two kilometers southeast, with permit extensions in process for drill access. The company plans to continue drilling this Winter.
Q Precious and Battery Metals Corp. (CSE:QMET) has provided an update on diamond drilling targeting at their La Corne South project near Val d'Or, Quebec. The company reports that previous drilling (hole 24LCS-01) revealed VMS-style mineralization with elevated copper, zinc, silver, and gold.
Further drilling is planned for early 2025, focusing on TDEM anomalies EMG-1 and EMG-2, which may be located within the same volcanic horizon. The geophysical surveys indicate a potential corridor of magnetic and electromagnetic anomalies spanning two kilometers, which remains open to the northwest.
The company has submitted 278 core samples from the first three holes to ALS laboratory in Val d'Or for analysis, including tests for 48 elements and precious metals. Quality control measures include blanks, standards, and duplicates inserted every 10 samples.
