Quebec Innovative Materials Stock Price, News & Analysis

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.

Québec Innovative Materials (OTCQB: QIMCF) says its exploration model has sparked a major staking rush in Nova Scotia's Cumberland Basin corridor, with over 6,700 new claims staked adjacent to QIMC's land position following its Halifax Mineral Forum presentation on Nov 24, 2025. The company reports high-resolution geophysics (radon-thoron surveys, soil gas, structural mapping) that have defined multiple drill-ready targets in the Advocate area and says collar positions for a winter drilling program are being finalized. QIMC also announced the resignation of director Lisa Thompson.

Québec Innovative Materials (OTCQB: QIMCF) announced a winter drilling program at West Advocate, Nova Scotia, following new hydrogen and radon-thoron data confirming a deep, structurally controlled natural hydrogen system.

Key measured results include surface hydrogen up to 4,300 ppm, soil-gas readings of 3,800–4,300 ppm, subsurface bedrock > 1,000 ppm, and radon peaks exceeding 100,000 Bq/m3. No detectable CO2, methane, or sulfur gases were recorded.

Planned geophysics (Nov 2025–Jan 2026) include a 1,000‑station gravimetric survey, ~17 km AMT, high‑resolution geoelectrical tomography (1,000 m sections), and dense TDEM; gravimetry began mid‑October and is expected to end mid‑November 2025. Integrated models will guide winter drilling targets.

Québec Innovative Materials Corp (OTCQB: QIMCF) established an AI Data Center Strategic Advisory Board and will present drill targets and strategic outlook at the Nova Scotia Mining Conference on November 13, 2025. The board includes Sylvain Boucher, Eric Chouinard, and Peter Wong to advise on vertical integration across natural hydrogen exploration, clean-energy infrastructure, and off-grid AI data centers.

The company is preparing to drill in Nova Scotia's Cumberland Basin and highlights a strategy linking subsurface hydrogen with AI data centers. QIMC also granted 1.75 million RSUs and 2.5 million stock options exercisable at $0.40 to directors, officers, and consultants.

Québec Innovative Materials (OTCQB: QIMCF) unveiled a vertically integrated plan to build off-grid, carbon-neutral AI data centres powered by natural hydrogen found in its Ontario-Québec and Nova Scotia corridors.

QIMC says it has identified hydrogen-bearing fault systems and locations with hydrogen >5,000 ppm, no methane or CO2, and proximity to fibre and seaports, enabling on-site hydrogen extraction, baseload power generation and low-latency computing without grid dependence.

The company positions this model as a self-sustaining, low-emission solution for high-performance AI infrastructure that pairs geology with digital connectivity.

Québec Innovative Materials (OTCQB: QIMCF) reported new soil-gas results from the Ontario Témiscamingue Graben showing a >11 km northward extension of a fault-controlled natural hydrogen system.

Key measured data: 454 samples, 251 samples >500 ppm H2, 116 >1,000 ppm, 19 >2,000 ppm, and a peak of 2,817 ppm H2. Survey area spans 11.3 km north–south, ~260 km2. Methane was detected in <3% of samples and average CO2 ≈ 0.6%. Company also announced a six‑month, US$50,000 marketing agreement with National Inflation Association and ongoing discussions with Témiscamingue First Nation about an AI data infrastructure powered by off‑grid natural hydrogen.

Québec Innovative Materials Corp (OTCQB: QIMCF) and DiagnaMed announced a major natural hydrogen discovery in Ontario's Témiscamingue Graben on October 14, 2025. From 456 soil-gas samples across four survey lines, 209 samples exceeded 500 ppm H2, with an overall average of 558 ppm and multiple highs up to 2,458 ppm. Results align with deep structural discontinuities beneath Quaternary cover and were led by INRS under Prof. Marc Richer-Laflèche. The companies signed an MOU with Témiscamingue First Nation to guide cooperation, local employment, and stewardship. Next steps include more soil lines, AMT/magnetic and radon-thoron surveys, and preliminary drilling site selection for 2026, with integration into QIMC's Ontario-Quebec Hydrogen Corridor Model.
