Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (QIMC) has signed a strategic exploration agreement with Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp. (QMET) to explore natural hydrogen and helium deposits in Nova Scotia. The exploration will focus on the Cobequid and Chedabucto fault systems, utilizing QIMC's proprietary exploration methods including soil gas surveys, Audio Magnetotelluric (AMT), and Gamma Radiometric geophysical surveys.
The region shares geological characteristics with QIMC's Quebec properties, featuring elevated geothermal gradients and high concentrations of hydrogen-generating elements. The area contains sedimentary sequences over 8,000 meters thick with favorable structures for hydrogen and helium accumulation. QMET will provide direct financial compensation to QIMC for their expertise and services, while QIMC will work alongside the Institute National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) in this initiative.
Quebec Innovative Materials Corp (QIMCF) has launched its Phase 1 drilling program targeting natural hydrogen in St-Bruno-de-Guigues, Quebec. The 5,000-meter campaign will focus on two strategic high-potential sectors, with drilling permits filed with Quebec regulatory authorities. The program involves shallow stratigraphic drilling at 30-35 degrees, reaching vertical depths of 500-600 meters.
The company aims to characterize geological features, investigate faulting systems, and assess permeability in fractured formations that could serve as conduits for natural hydrogen. QIMC plans to expand its hydrogen portfolio through partnerships with Record Resources, Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp, and Blue Tree Energy Group across Ontario, Nova Scotia, and the United States.
Additionally, CEO John Karagiannidis has been appointed as Chairman of the Board, succeeding Jakson Inwentash.
Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (QIMCF) has reported significant progress in its Clean Natural Hydrogen program, with new record-high hydrogen gas concentrations of 21,882 PPM (2.19%) and 21,055 PPM (2.11%) measured at 75m depth on Line 1, Well #8. This represents a 90% increase from previous measurements under sub-zero conditions.
The company is currently monitoring eight wells and expects further improvements as weather conditions warm up. QIMC has also announced strategic expansion into Ontario, securing claims in the Beauchamp, Henwood, and Kerns areas. The company plans to conduct soil sampling and geophysical surveys along the Temiscamingue graben's main fault structures during spring and summer.
The measurements were conducted using a GasDog GD200-H2 hydrogen detector with a 0-40,000 ppm range and -20°C to 50°C temperature capability. The wells, drilled with HWT-gauge casing and 2" diameter screens, are located on glaciolacustrine sediments with abundant groundwater.
Quebec Innovative Materials Corp (QIMC) has reported significant hydrogen measurements from its St-Bruno-de-Guigues property in Temiscamingue, Quebec. Testing from monitoring hole #8 revealed hydrogen concentrations of 13,102 ppm (1.31%) and 12,873 ppm (1.29%) at 75 meters depth, representing a nearly 100% increase from previous measurements of 7,000 PPM at 50m recorded in January 2025.
The company has expanded its operations by acquiring a district-scale land package in Nova Scotia and securing key acreage in Ontario along the Riviere Blanche fault, adjacent to partner Record Resources. QIMC plans to implement a comprehensive exploration campaign this spring and summer, including soil sampling and advanced geophysical surveys across its newly acquired Ontario properties.
Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (QIMCF) has announced a major expansion of its natural clean renewable hydrogen exploration activities in Nova Scotia's Cumberland Basin. The company has secured 2,645 exploration claims covering 428.49 km², targeting geological structures with hydrogen and helium potential.
The Cumberland project features optimal conditions for hydrogen generation, including a thick sedimentary sequence exceeding 7 kilometers, deep-seated faults, and prominent geothermal gradients. The area's geological environment shares significant structural similarities with the Lorraine Basin in France, particularly through the Cobequid-Chedabucto fault system.
The exploration site contains biotite-rich granitoids that can produce substantial hydrogen through water-mineral interactions, with potential yields of 102 KT of H2 per km³ of granite at temperatures of 130-200°C. The presence of salt formations in the Windsor Formation also offers potential for gas storage and helium co-production.

QIMC has reported significant results from its Quebec St-Bruno-de-Guigues hydrogen camp, with hydrogen concentrations exceeding 7,000 ppm at depths under 50m, containing only trace amounts of CO2 and methane.
Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (QIMC) has announced a strategic collaboration with Record Resources in the Temiskaming hydrogen camp. As part of the deal, QIMC will receive 6,600,000 shares of REC and a 1% Gross Revenue Royalty (GRR) from Record Resources.
The collaboration involves Record's option agreement to acquire property adjacent to QIMC's hydrogen discovery. The Lorrain-Bucke claim blocks are situated between major rift faults in the Lake Temiskaming Graben structure, featuring Huronian Group sedimentary and volcanic formations overlying Archean metavolcanic and metasedimentary units. The area's potential is enhanced by ultramafic rocks and a prominent gravity low anomaly, indicating deeper natural hydrogen resource potential.
This partnership strengthens QIMC's position in Ontario's renewable natural hydrogen sector while maintaining focus on their Quebec St Bruno de Giugues Natural Hydrogen project. Record Resources may purchase 50% of the GRR at any time for $1,000,000.
