Quebec Innovative Materials (CSE: QIMC, OTCQB: QIMCF) reported its strongest natural hydrogen results to date from the first ~300 metres of ongoing drill hole DDH-26-05 at the Bennett Hill project in Nova Scotia. Mud-gas readings reached 23.5% H₂ at 170 m, within a ~54-metre corridor (143-197 m) of sustained percent-level hydrogen, and at depths far shallower than the prior peak of 24.3% H₂ at 707 m in DDH-26-04.
According to the company, drilling observations at 164 m were consistent with free gas entering the borehole, and approximately 74% of 192 valid readings from 32-305 m were at or above 1% H₂, versus 37% in DDH-26-04. DDH-26-05 is planned to 900 m to further test the Bennett Hill natural hydrogen system and support evaluation of a potential pilot production pathway.
Quebec Innovative Materials (CSE: QIMC, OTCQB: QIMCF) reported record natural hydrogen results from the first ~300 metres of ongoing drill hole DDH-26-05 at the Bennett Hill project in Nova Scotia. Mud-gas readings reached 23.5% H₂ at 170 m, within an approximately 54-metre corridor of sustained percent-level hydrogen (143–197 m), including observations interpreted as free gas entering the borehole at 164 m.
According to the company, DDH-26-05 has surpassed prior Bennett Hill hole DDH-26-04 over the comparable upper interval in peak hydrogen (23.5% vs 16.0%) and in the proportion of readings ≥1% H₂ (~74% vs 37%). The hole remains in progress, with a planned depth of 900 m, and the results are being used to advance evaluation of a potential pilot production pathway for the Advocate Area natural hydrogen system.
Québec Innovative Materials (CSE: QIMC, OTCQB: QIMCF) reported major advances in its 2026 natural hydrogen program in Nova Scotia, including its strongest surface hydrogen anomalies to date and an exploration campaign already about three times larger than its entire 2025 program. Field crews have collected close to 3,000 soil‑gas samples over a continuous 43‑km corridor from West Advocate to Kirkhill.
A new Allen Hill–South Branch Road hot zone delivered a peak surface reading of 1.4% H₂ (~14,000 ppm), surpassing prior highs at Bennett Hill. Drill hole DDH‑26‑05, now at roughly 300 m, is returning stronger preliminary hydrogen readings than DDH‑26‑04 over the same interval; DDH‑26‑04 previously recorded a peak mud‑gas value of 24.3% H₂ at 707 m with negligible methane. Multiple hydrogen centres now identified along the Cobequid‑Chedabucto Fault Zone support QIMC’s district‑scale exploration model and its progression toward a natural hydrogen pilot production pathway, with further geochemical and geophysical work planned through summer 2026.
Quebec Innovative Materials (CSE: QIMC, OTCQB: QIMCF) reported new mud-gas results from diamond drill hole DDH-26-04 at Bennett Hill, Nova Scotia, including a peak 24.3% H₂ reading at 707 m, the highest single hydrogen value in its 2026 Advocate Area program.
Across the full hole, 104 of 284 IsoJar samples returned ≥1% H₂, 23 ≥5% and 10 ≥10%, with percent-level hydrogen sustained to within 39 m of the 818 m end of hole. Methane was recorded at approximately 0% and CO₂ at or below 0.2%, consistent with earlier holes DDH-26-01, -02 and -03 at Eatonville Road, 15 km away. According to QIMC, these four holes support a working model of a district-scale, structurally controlled clean natural hydrogen system along the Cobequid-Chedabucto Fault Zone, and the company has begun technical evaluation of a potential pilot-scale characterization and clean energy generation pathway for the Advocate Area.
Quebec Innovative Materials (OTCQB:QIMCF) welcomed Quebec’s PGIRE 2026-2050 energy plan, which designates geologic natural hydrogen as a strategic innovation sector and follows Bill 17’s legislative framework.
The plan targets support for 5 research projects by 2035 and 2 exploitation projects by 2050, while QIMC highlights its drilling permit, extensive exploration work in the Temiscamingue Graben, and plans for a pilot project under the new framework.
Quebec Innovative Materials (OTCQB: QIMCF) reported new preliminary mud-gas hydrogen results from the 100m–250m interval of drill hole DDH-26-04 at Bennett Hill, Nova Scotia.
Readings include a peak of 16.0% H₂, two at 13.5% H₂, nine at or above 5% H₂, and 35 of 60 IsoJar samples at or above 1% H₂. Methane remained near 0% and carbon dioxide at or below 0.2% across the interval. QIMC interprets the repeated elevated, shallow hydrogen responses as supporting its regional natural hydrogen exploration model across the Advocate Area, with strongest readings linked to fractured and fault-breccia zones. Sampling below 250m and further validation remain ongoing.
Québec Innovative Materials (OTCQB:QIMCF) reported preliminary mud-gas results from first Bennett Hill drill hole DDH-26-04 in Nova Scotia.
The upper 100 m show elevated hydrogen, including a 9 m interval with four analyzer-saturating readings ≥4.03% H₂, while methane and CO₂ remained below or near detection, supporting QIMC’s district-scale clean hydrogen model.
Québec Innovative Materials (OTCQB:QIMCF) welcomes the June 12, 2026 adoption and Royal Assent of Bill 17, which creates a regulatory framework for exploring and developing clean natural hydrogen in Québec.
