Québec Innovative Materials Corp (OTCQB: QIMCF) received a second Nova Scotia drilling approval on February 5, 2026 for its Bennett Hill Project in the East Advocate area. This follows prior approval for Eatonville in West Advocate, enabling back-to-back Phase 1 drilling programs within the same hydrogen district.
Each Phase 1 campaign is a three-hole drill program targeting zones identified by hydrogen soil-gas, radon–thoron, and integrated geological interpretation. QIMC plans to sequence Eatonville into Bennett Hill to maintain operational continuity and is advancing permitting at Little Forks as the next priority.
Québec Innovative Materials (OTCQB: QIMCF) received a Notice of Approval from the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources and Renewables enabling its Eatonville Phase 1 three-hole drilling program in West Advocate, Nova Scotia.
The approval permits transition from surface exploration to subsurface drilling, mobilizing Maritime Drilling for execution and supporting a repeatable, multi-jurisdiction development strategy that includes Bennett Hill and other district-scale targets.
Québec Innovative Materials (OTCQB: QIMCF) reported results from 452 soil-gas samples at the West Advocate project, Nova Scotia, showing multi-season persistence of hydrogen anomalies across three expanded, drill-ready target zones (Zones I, II, III). Independent July and October 2025 datasets were Z-score normalized to remove seasonal/atmospheric bias; median hydrogen measured 265 ppm(v) in summer and 135 ppm(v) in fall, with upper background thresholds of <318 ppm(v) (summer) and <160 ppm(v) (fall). Eight fall samples exceeded the Ga 5000 detector upper limit of 1000 ppm. Work was completed with INRS under Prof. Marc Richer-LaFlèche and is presented as materially de-risking target definition ahead of prioritized drilling.
Québec Innovative Materials (OTCQB: QIMCF) reported positive preliminary baseline environmental results for its Bennett Hill Study Area in the Advocate Area, Nova Scotia, clearing a key milestone to advance a priority drill-ready zone. The assessment, completed by Strum Consulting, found no species-at-risk lichen, no black ash, no pileated woodpecker cavities and no material environmental constraints that would impede further exploration or drilling. Bennett Hill is part of QIMC's natural hydrogen (H2) development model, showing elevated surface H2, anomalous radon-thoron readings, and structural corridors interpreted as conduits for hydrogen migration, supporting further drill targeting and portfolio scale-up.
Québec Innovative Materials (OTCQB: QIMCF) announced that its board approved a Shareholder Rights Plan effective January 14, 2026, under an agreement with Endeavor Trust Corporation as rights agent.
The plan is designed to ensure fair treatment of shareholders during any acquisition attempt and to give the board time to seek value‑enhancing alternatives. It is subject to shareholder ratification at the next meeting expected within 90 days; if ratified the initial term is three years. If not ratified within six months, the plan and all rights will terminate.
A summary of principal terms will appear in the management information circular and the full plan will be filed on SEDAR+ and with the CSE.
Québec Innovative Materials (OTCQB: QIMCF) completed a baseline environmental assessment at its Eatonville project in Nova Scotia on December 30, 2025. The pre-disturbance study establishes environmental baseline conditions to support planning for subsequent subsurface development phases and regulatory alignment.
Work was performed by Strum Consulting. Results and surface/near-surface hydrogen anomalies are being integrated with geophysical and geological data, while INRS analyzes gravimetric data to refine structural interpretations and prioritize drill targets.
Québec Innovative Materials (OTCQB: QIMCF) reported fall 2025 soil-gas results that expand its Temiscamingue natural hydrogen corridor from 11 km to 15 km. A total of 647 samples were collected across four westward lines with a peak hydrogen value of 2,843 ppm (Line L24W) and two new hotspot zones on L20W and L21W (247 samples, up to 1,849 ppm; 12 samples >1,000 ppm). Company says gas composition indicates high-purity abiotic hydrogen. QIMC announced an MOU with Temiskamingue First Nation, plans a winter program (geophysics, radon/thoron) and preliminary drill-site selection ahead of a planned 2026 drilling program.
Quebec Innovative Materials (OTCQB: QIMCF) said it is accelerating a hydrogen-AI strategy in Nova Scotia as industry staking intensifies along the province's emerging natural hydrogen corridor.
The company cites recent intense claim staking by major players, including Koloma, and notes Rio Tinto acquired more than 5,000 mining claims adjacent to QIMC holdings. QIMC says it retains control of key fault-oriented areas and hydrogen chimneys that enable vertical migration pathways.
QIMC activated an AI and Energy Integration Steering Committee to advance feasibility, partner talks and frameworks for fully off-grid, modular hydrogen-powered AI data centers in Nova Scotia.
Québec Innovative Materials (OTCQB: QIMCF) is expanding its Phase 1 winter natural hydrogen drilling program in the Advocate–Cumberland Basin corridor of Nova Scotia to more than 5,000 metres after new INRS geophysical work (gravimetry, tomography, LiDAR, integrated modeling) identified additional priority targets and improved fault mapping.
QIMC also executed a definitive agreement to sell its 100% interest in the River Valley Silica project to Sila Mining, receiving 6,000,000 Sila shares (C$0.20 deemed), up to C$500,000 cash, a 2% gross-sales royalty, and the right to nominate one director; closing expected on or before Jan 16, 2026. QIMC retains 100% of Charlevoix Silica.
Québec Innovative Materials (OTCQB: QIMCF) announced that its U.S. SPV, Orvian Resources I, in partnership with Black Tree Energy Group, was awarded two Restricted Geophysical Research Areas (RGRAs) by the State of Minnesota on Nov 26, 2025. The RGRAs secure rights over roughly 72 square miles (two townships) in St. Louis County within the Mesabi Iron Range to advance natural hydrogen exploration using QIMC's proprietary methodology.
The awards expand QIMC's North American portfolio, target iron-rich formations favorable for hydrogen generation, and commit the company to conduct exploration with environmental stewardship and local collaboration.
