QMET Announces Nova Scotia Natural Clean Hydrogen Soil Sampling Program in Collaboration with QIMC, INRS, and Temiscamingue First Nations
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 (OTC:BTKRF)는 Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (QIMC), Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS), 그리고 Temiscamingue 퍼스트 네이션과의 전략적 협력을 통해 노바스코샤에서 천연 청정 수소 토양 샘플링 프로그램을 시작했습니다.
탐사 프로그램은 QIMC와 INRS가 퀘벡의 St-Bruno-de-Guigues 프로젝트에서 성공적으로 사용한 비침습적 토양 가스 샘플링 기법과 지구물리학적 조사를 활용합니다. 이 이니셔티브는 노바스코샤의 지질 구조 내 천연 수소 자산을 식별하고 평가하는 것을 목표로 합니다.
Temiscamingue 퍼스트 네이션은 전통 생태 지식을 제공하여 탐사 활동을 향상시키는 데 적극 참여할 것입니다. 수집된 데이터는 프로그램의 2단계와 3단계를 안내할 것입니다.
Q Precious & Battery Metals (OTC:BTKRF) a lancé un programme d'échantillonnage du sol pour l'hydrogène naturel propre en Nouvelle-Écosse, en collaboration stratégique avec Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (QIMC), l'Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) et les Premières Nations de Temiscamingue.
Le programme d'exploration utilisera des techniques non invasives d'échantillonnage des gaz du sol et des levés géophysiques, en s'appuyant sur le modèle d'exploration réussi de QIMC et INRS issu de leur projet St-Bruno-de-Guigues au Québec. L'objectif est d'identifier et d'évaluer les ressources naturelles en hydrogène dans les formations géologiques de la Nouvelle-Écosse.
Les Premières Nations de Temiscamingue participeront activement en apportant leurs connaissances écologiques traditionnelles pour enrichir les activités d'exploration. Les données recueillies guideront les phases 2 et 3 du programme.
Q Precious & Battery Metals (OTC:BTKRF) hat in Nova Scotia ein Programm zur Probenahme von natürlichem sauberem Wasserstoff im Boden gestartet, in strategischer Zusammenarbeit mit Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (QIMC), dem Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) und den Temiscamingue First Nations.
Das Explorationsprogramm nutzt nicht-invasive Boden-Gas-Probenahmetechniken und geophysikalische Untersuchungen, basierend auf dem erfolgreichen Explorationsmodell von QIMC und INRS aus ihrem St-Bruno-de-Guigues-Projekt in Quebec. Ziel ist es, natürliche Wasserstoffvorkommen in den geologischen Formationen von Nova Scotia zu identifizieren und zu bewerten.
Die Temiscamingue First Nations werden aktiv teilnehmen und ihr traditionelles ökologisches Wissen einbringen, um die Exploration zu verbessern. Die gesammelten Daten werden die Phasen 2 und 3 des Programms leiten.
- Partnership with established institutions QIMC and INRS brings proven expertise from successful exploration models
- Collaboration with Temiscamingue First Nations provides valuable traditional ecological knowledge
- Non-invasive exploration techniques align with environmental stewardship goals
- Early-stage exploration program with no guaranteed success
- Multiple phases of development required before any potential commercial value
- Speculative nature of hydrogen exploration with geological uncertainties
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 22, 2025) - Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp. (CSE: QMET) (OTC Pink: BTKRF) (FSE: 0NB) ("QMET") is pleased to announce the commencement of the soil sampling and exploration natural hydrogen program in Nova Scotia.
