Additional releases discuss partnerships and regulatory milestones, such as RGRAs awarded in Minnesota to its U.S. special purpose vehicle Orvian Resources I LLC, and a definitive agreement to sell the River Valley Silica Project to Sila Mining Corp. while retaining equity and royalty exposure.
Corporate governance and shareholder protection are recurring topics, including the adoption of a Shareholder Rights Plan aimed at ensuring fair treatment of shareholders in the event of takeover bids. Investors and observers can use this news page to follow QIMC’s exploration results, strategic initiatives around natural hydrogen and AI, community and Indigenous collaboration, and key corporate transactions as disclosed in its public announcements.
Québec Innovative Materials (CSE: QIMC / OTCQB: QIMCF) completed Hole 1 (DDH-26-01) at the West-Advocate natural hydrogen project on March 17, 2026, providing subsurface structural and core data within the Cobequid-Chedabucto Fault Zone.
The company reports core evidence of extensive fault-related fracturing, thrust zones (142–198 m), and structural architectures consistent with hydrogen migration pathways. Drill Hole DDH-26-02 has reached ~500 metres. QIMC filed a trademark for its R2G2™ exploration model and granted 5,400,000 stock options exercisable at $2.00 for two years.
Quebec Innovative Materials (OTCQB: QIMCF) completed Discovery Hole DDH-26-01 to 711 metres at West-Advocate, Nova Scotia, intersecting a persistent hydrogen-bearing system from ~505 m to 711 m. Field instruments exceeded detection limits on multiple intervals; diluted wellhead samples confirmed >2,150 ppmV H2 (INRS analysis). Methane was effectively absent across samples, supporting a hydrogen-dominant, inorganic source. Hole 2 is underway targeting structural zones to the northwest; additional geochemistry, isotopes and core analysis are ongoing.
Quebec Innovative Materials (OTCQB: QIMCF) reports DDH-26-01 intersected a new 72 m hydrogen-bearing structural zone between 354–426 m at West Advocate, Nova Scotia — the largest interval identified in this hole to date. Pressurized bubbling water overflowed the borehole collar and water samples were collected for laboratory analysis. Drilling is ongoing toward a planned 650 m total depth as part of a five-hole 2026 Advocate program, with three hydrogen-associated depth intervals now confirmed, supporting a vertically extensive, structurally controlled natural hydrogen system.
Quebec Innovative Materials (OTCQB: QIMCF) reports DDH-26-01 intersected a 72 m hydrogen-bearing structural zone between 354–426 m at West Advocate, Nova Scotia. Field logging and gas monitoring show elevated hydrogen across the full interval, pressurized formation water overflow with collected water samples, and drilling continuing toward a planned 650 m depth.
The hole now confirms three vertically separated hydrogen-associated corridors (approx. 142–212 m, 310–335 m, 354–426 m) supporting an interpretation of a vertically extensive, structurally controlled natural hydrogen system.
Québec Innovative Materials (OTCQB: QIMCF) reported DDH-26-01 intersected a second hydrogen-associated structural zone at ~313–330m, distinct from an earlier 142–191m H2-bearing corridor. The two vertically separated intervals support a multi-zone, structurally controlled natural hydrogen system at West Advocate.
Drilling continues toward a planned 650m total depth as part of a five-hole 2026 program. Nova Scotia's proposed Powering the Economy Act introduces regulation of natural hydrogen, which the company says enhances investment certainty.
Québec Innovative Materials (OTCQB: QIMCF) reported that drill hole DDH-26-01 at West Advocate, Nova Scotia, intersected a second hydrogen-associated structural zone at approximately 313–330 metres, distinct from a previously reported 142–191 metre zone. Drilling continues toward a planned 650 metre total depth.
The result supports a structurally controlled, multi-zone natural hydrogen model. Gas monitoring showed elevated H2, depleted O2 and no methane detected. The program is part of a planned five-hole 2026 campaign. Nova Scotia’s proposed Powering the Economy Act (Bill No. 193) would regulate natural hydrogen, and QIMC reports no hydraulic fracturing or stimulation was conducted.
Quebec Innovative Materials (OTCQB: QIMCF) reports initial results from the first 300m of diamond hole DDH-26-01 at West Advocate, Nova Scotia. Drilling intersected a previously unmapped ~40m hydrogen-bearing fault corridor with hydrogen readings exceeding 1,000 ppm near the collar and pressurized formation water with visible gas bubbling.
Drilling continues to a planned 650m with four additional holes planned and in situ pressurized water sampling to quantify subsurface hydrogen.
Quebec Innovative Materials (OTCQB: QIMCF) reports initial results from DDH-26-01 at West Advocate, Nova Scotia: a previously unmapped, ~40m-wide hydrogen-bearing fault corridor between 142m–191m and elevated H2 readings near the borehole collar exceeding instrument limits (~1,000 ppm).
Pressurized formation water, visible gas bubbling, very low O2 and no CH4 were observed; drilling continues to 650m with four additional holes planned.
Québec Innovative Materials (OTCQB: QIMCF) began diamond drilling at the West Advocate hydrogen project on February 17, 2026 in Cumberland County, Nova Scotia. Maritime Drilling mobilized to site and drilling is actively underway as part of a planned subsurface testing program.
The program moves the company from multi-season surface geochemical surveys and structural interpretation into direct subsurface evaluation of fault-controlled targets aimed at confirming migration and accumulation pathways.
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.
