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.
Quebec Innovative Materials (CSE: QIMC / OTCQB: QIMCF) and DiagnaMed signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Témiscamingue First Nation on October 8, 2025 to advance natural hydrogen development along the Ontario‑Quebec hydrogen corridor in the Lake Témiscamingue region.
The MOU formalizes cooperation around respect for TFN rights and culture, integration of Aboriginal Traditional Knowledge for environmental stewardship, and economic participation via employment, contracting and training. It also commits QIMC and DMED to in‑kind support and quarterly meetings to review exploration, employment and environmental initiatives.
Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (OTCQB: QIMCF) has announced the discovery of its fourth major natural hydrogen zone in Nova Scotia, featuring exceptional soil-gas concentrations up to 4,850 ppm along a 2 km continuous anomaly in the Little Forks-Springhill area.
The exploration program yielded impressive results with over 24 readings above 500 ppm, including four results between 1,500-1,999 ppm and two between 2,000-2,999 ppm. This discovery establishes two principal hydrogen corridors on both sides of the Cumberland Basin, potentially supporting the development of a clean ammonia production hub.
The site's geology features the Ragged Reef sandstones as reservoir potential, Windsor Group evaporites as barriers, and favorable geothermal conditions driving hydrogen migration. The company plans to continue development with teams returning to Nova Scotia on October 5, 2025.
Quebec Innovative Materials (OTCQB:QIMCF) has completed an extensive soil-gas sampling program in Ontario's Témiscamingue Graben region. The company collected over 500 soil-gas samples in collaboration with the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS).
The initiative, conducted alongside partner DiagnaMed Holdings Corp (DMED), aims to establish a district-scale hydrogen corridor spanning Quebec and Ontario. QIMC is expanding its natural hydrogen exploration efforts from Quebec and Nova Scotia into Ontario, working closely with Témiscamingue First Nations and Northern Ontario communities to ensure responsible development and shared economic opportunities.
Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (OTCQB:QIMCF) has announced its third major natural hydrogen discovery in Nova Scotia's Southampton and East-Southampton areas. The soil-gas surveys revealed 23 samples above 500 ppm hydrogen, including 8 samples exceeding 1,000 ppm and a peak value of 4,125 ppm - one of the highest concentrations recorded in the province.
The discovery is located in the Cumberland Basin, which shows strong geological similarities to Europe's Carboniferous Basin of Lorraine. The exploration team conducted extensive analysis using seismic data, revealing the Athol syncline reaching depths of ~5 km and the presence of four south-dipping faults that act as hydrogen migration conduits.
The company is now expanding its Phase 2 and Phase 3 programs in these areas and evaluating the integration of ammonia production, leveraging Nova Scotia's existing infrastructure and port facilities.
Quebec Innovative Materials (OTCQB:QIMCF) has announced that its U.S. subsidiary Orvian Natural Resources has secured a strategic 12,000-acre land package in Minnesota's Mesabi Iron Range district through an agreement with RGGS Land and Minerals Ltd. The acquisition positions QIMC at the forefront of clean natural hydrogen exploration in North America.
The company also announced the appointment of André Turmel as Executive Chairman, bringing over 25 years of renewable energy sector experience. Turmel, a former senior partner at Fasken LLP, has extensive expertise in energy law and the hydrogen sector, serving on the Board of Hydrogène Québec.
Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (OTCQB: QIMCF) has announced a significant second natural hydrogen discovery at East Advocate, Nova Scotia. The company identified a continuous 4 km anomalous line with soil gas samples averaging 623 ppm H2 and reaching a peak of 2,247 ppm.
The discovery, located at the Bennett Hill Road section, follows QIMC's recent record-setting results at West Advocate. The sampling revealed 36% of samples between 500-1,000 ppm and 11% between 1,000-2,000 ppm. The findings are situated 12 km northeast of the Reid-Eatonville Zone, suggesting a multi-kilometer hydrogen system along the Cobequid Fault Zone.
The company plans to proceed with Phase 2 and Phase 3 exploration in early September, with additional results pending from Southampton and Springhill locations.
Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (OTCQB: QIMCF) has announced a significant natural hydrogen discovery in Nova Scotia's West Advocate area.

The highest recorded concentration was an exceptional 5,558 ppm, marking a record for QIMC.
The discovery is located near the Cobequid Fault Zone, a major crustal-scale structure in the Canadian Maritimes. The survey covered over 4 km, collecting 189 soil gas samples analyzed in an INRS mobile laboratory. Following these results, QIMC has expanded its claim package in the West Advocate area. Additionally, the company announced the appointment of Fabrice Consalvo to its Board of Directors and granted 1.7 million stock options at $0.25 per share.
