Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (QIMCF) has announced a strategic partnership with Black Tree Energy Group (BTEG) to launch the Orvian SPV US Projects Initiative. The partnership involves the creation of Orvian Natural Resources I LLC, a special purpose vehicle focused on developing district-scale natural clean hydrogen projects across the United States.
The initiative builds on QIMC's proven expertise in subsurface analysis and clean natural hydrogen assessment, where the company has successfully discovered pure, clean natural hydrogen. The partnership aims to replicate QIMC's successful methodology and IP across multiple U.S. locations, with several district-scale projects currently under active review.
Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (QIMC) has signed a strategic exploration agreement with Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp. (QMET) to explore natural hydrogen and helium deposits in Nova Scotia. The exploration will focus on the Cobequid and Chedabucto fault systems, utilizing QIMC's proprietary exploration methods including soil gas surveys, Audio Magnetotelluric (AMT), and Gamma Radiometric geophysical surveys.
The region shares geological characteristics with QIMC's Quebec properties, featuring elevated geothermal gradients and high concentrations of hydrogen-generating elements. The area contains sedimentary sequences over 8,000 meters thick with favorable structures for hydrogen and helium accumulation. QMET will provide direct financial compensation to QIMC for their expertise and services, while QIMC will work alongside the Institute National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) in this initiative.
Quebec Innovative Materials Corp (QIMCF) has launched its Phase 1 drilling program targeting natural hydrogen in St-Bruno-de-Guigues, Quebec. The 5,000-meter campaign will focus on two strategic high-potential sectors, with drilling permits filed with Quebec regulatory authorities. The program involves shallow stratigraphic drilling at 30-35 degrees, reaching vertical depths of 500-600 meters.
The company aims to characterize geological features, investigate faulting systems, and assess permeability in fractured formations that could serve as conduits for natural hydrogen. QIMC plans to expand its hydrogen portfolio through partnerships with Record Resources, Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp, and Blue Tree Energy Group across Ontario, Nova Scotia, and the United States.
Additionally, CEO John Karagiannidis has been appointed as Chairman of the Board, succeeding Jakson Inwentash.
Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (QIMCF) has reported significant progress in its Clean Natural Hydrogen program, with new record-high hydrogen gas concentrations of 21,882 PPM (2.19%) and 21,055 PPM (2.11%) measured at 75m depth on Line 1, Well #8. This represents a 90% increase from previous measurements under sub-zero conditions.
The company is currently monitoring eight wells and expects further improvements as weather conditions warm up. QIMC has also announced strategic expansion into Ontario, securing claims in the Beauchamp, Henwood, and Kerns areas. The company plans to conduct soil sampling and geophysical surveys along the Temiscamingue graben's main fault structures during spring and summer.
The measurements were conducted using a GasDog GD200-H2 hydrogen detector with a 0-40,000 ppm range and -20°C to 50°C temperature capability. The wells, drilled with HWT-gauge casing and 2" diameter screens, are located on glaciolacustrine sediments with abundant groundwater.
Quebec Innovative Materials Corp (QIMC) has reported significant hydrogen measurements from its St-Bruno-de-Guigues property in Temiscamingue, Quebec. Testing from monitoring hole #8 revealed hydrogen concentrations of 13,102 ppm (1.31%) and 12,873 ppm (1.29%) at 75 meters depth, representing a nearly 100% increase from previous measurements of 7,000 PPM at 50m recorded in January 2025.
The company has expanded its operations by acquiring a district-scale land package in Nova Scotia and securing key acreage in Ontario along the Riviere Blanche fault, adjacent to partner Record Resources. QIMC plans to implement a comprehensive exploration campaign this spring and summer, including soil sampling and advanced geophysical surveys across its newly acquired Ontario properties.
Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (QIMCF) has announced a major expansion of its natural clean renewable hydrogen exploration activities in Nova Scotia's Cumberland Basin. The company has secured 2,645 exploration claims covering 428.49 km², targeting geological structures with hydrogen and helium potential.
The Cumberland project features optimal conditions for hydrogen generation, including a thick sedimentary sequence exceeding 7 kilometers, deep-seated faults, and prominent geothermal gradients. The area's geological environment shares significant structural similarities with the Lorraine Basin in France, particularly through the Cobequid-Chedabucto fault system.
The exploration site contains biotite-rich granitoids that can produce substantial hydrogen through water-mineral interactions, with potential yields of 102 KT of H2 per km³ of granite at temperatures of 130-200°C. The presence of salt formations in the Windsor Formation also offers potential for gas storage and helium co-production.
Quebec Innovative Materials Corp (QIMC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Black Tree Energy Group Sàrl (BTEG), a Swiss-based energy infrastructure firm, to advance natural hydrogen exploration and development in the U.S. market.
The partnership aims to combine QIMC's expertise in natural renewable hydrogen exploration (including geological analysis, project evaluation, and drilling) with BTEG's infrastructure development and financial capabilities. Key collaboration areas include:
- U.S. hydrogen exploration and project development
- Technical and consulting services
- Market strategy and offtake agreements
- Infrastructure and investment development
- Integration of Carbon Capture (CCUS), geothermal energy, and helium extraction
The companies will immediately begin working on a U.S.-focused action plan, prioritizing site evaluations and project opportunities under a dedicated governance framework.
Quebec Innovative Materials Corp (QIMCF) announces progress in establishing hydrogen as a primary energy source in Quebec, following a strategic meeting with the Ministry of Economy on February 12, 2025. The company aims to support Quebec's emission reduction goals of 38% by 2030 and net-zero by 2050.
Key developments include:
- Gas analysis confirming near-zero carbon dioxide and methane in samples
- Identification of two major iron formations (12,000m and 3,200m) with estimated 2.59 billion kg of magnetite
- Preliminary hydrogen yield estimates at St. Bruno-de-Guigues property: 17,000 tonnes (1% porosity) to 34,000 tonnes (2% porosity), valued at USD $171-342 million
