Rhea-AI Summary

Q Precious & Battery Metals (CSE: QMET / OTC Pink: BTKRF) announced on December 4, 2025 an expansion of its Nova Scotia drill program to 2,500 metres following integrated geophysical surveys and fieldwork by Quebec Innovative Materials Corp (QIMC), the project's technical lead.

QIMC's geophysical interpretation plus on-site mapping and sampling refined and expanded several hydrogen-anomalous zones, and updated modelling improved understanding of zone scale, structure, and continuity. QMET says the refined dataset supports prioritizing high-potential targets and increasing drilling capacity to validate its geological model. Preparations for the expanded drilling phase with QIMC are in progress and the company will provide updates as milestones are reached.

"following recent geophysical surveys and fieldwork completed by Quebec"
Geophysical describes surveys and measurements that map the physical properties of the Earth—such as seismic waves, gravity, magnetism and electrical signals—to reveal what lies beneath the surface without digging. For investors, geophysical work is like using a radar or an X‑ray for the ground: it reduces the guesswork, helps estimate the size and location of mineral, oil or gas deposits, and can materially change project costs, timelines and the perceived value or risk of an exploration opportunity.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 4, 2025) - Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp. (CSE: QMET) (OTC Pink: BTKRF) (FSE: 0NB) ("QMET" or the "Company") is pleased to announce an expansion of its Nova Scotia drill program to 2,500 metres, following recent geophysical surveys and fieldwork completed by Quebec Innovative Materials Corp ("QIMC"), the company's technical lead and advisor on the project.

QIMC's integrated geophysical interpretation, supported by on-site geological mapping and sampling, has further refined and expanded several hydrogen-anomalous zones across the QMET target area. The updated modelling has improved QMET's understanding of the scale, structure, and continuity of these zones, providing the technical basis for increasing drill capacity.

"Our technical team, led by QIMC, has delivered meaningful advancements in defining and prioritizing our hydrogen-anomalous trends," said the CEO of QMET, Richard Penn. "The refined data set allows us to focus drilling on the highest-potential targets with greater accuracy. Expanding the program to 2,500 metres positions us to more efficiently evaluate these zones, validate our geological model, and advance the project toward key value-creation milestones. We remain committed to a disciplined, data-driven exploration strategy designed to deliver long-term value for shareholders."

Preparations with QIMC for the expanded drilling phase are in progress, and the Company will issue updates as geological and operational milestones are reached.
