QIMC Advances with Phase 1 Drilling Program Targeting High-Potential Hydrogen Zones in St-Bruno-de-Guigues, Quebec; More Upcoming Monitoring and Measuring Hydrogen Results
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) ha avviato il suo programma di perforazione di Fase 1, mirato all'idrogeno naturale a St-Bruno-de-Guigues, Quebec. La campagna da 5.000 metri si concentrerà su due settori strategici ad alto potenziale, con permessi di perforazione già presentati alle autorità regolatorie del Quebec. Il programma prevede perforazioni stratigrafiche superficiali a un'inclinazione di 30-35 gradi, raggiungendo profondità verticali di 500-600 metri.
L'azienda intende caratterizzare le caratteristiche geologiche, studiare i sistemi di faglia e valutare la permeabilità nelle formazioni fratturate che potrebbero fungere da condotti per l'idrogeno naturale. QIMC prevede di ampliare il proprio portafoglio di idrogeno attraverso partnership con Record Resources, Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp e Blue Tree Energy Group in Ontario, Nova Scotia e negli Stati Uniti.
Inoltre, il CEO John Karagiannidis è stato nominato Presidente del Consiglio di Amministrazione, succedendo a Jakson Inwentash.

회사는 지질학적 특성을 규명하고, 단층 시스템을 조사하며, 천연 수소의 통로 역할을 할 수 있는 균열된 지층의 투과성을 평가하는 것을 목표로 합니다. QIMC는 온타리오, 노바스코샤, 미국 전역에서 Record Resources, Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp, Blue Tree Energy Group과의 파트너십을 통해 수소 포트폴리오를 확장할 계획입니다.
또한 CEO John Karagiannidis가 Jakson Inwentash의 뒤를 이어 이사회 의장으로 임명되었습니다.
Quebec Innovative Materials Corp (QIMCF) a lancé son programme de forage de Phase 1 ciblant l'hydrogène naturel à St-Bruno-de-Guigues, au Québec. Cette campagne de 5 000 mètres se concentrera sur deux secteurs stratégiques à fort potentiel, avec des permis de forage déposés auprès des autorités réglementaires du Québec. Le programme implique des forages stratigraphiques peu profonds à un angle de 30-35 degrés, atteignant des profondeurs verticales de 500 à 600 mètres.
L'entreprise vise à caractériser les caractéristiques géologiques, à étudier les systèmes de failles et à évaluer la perméabilité des formations fracturées pouvant servir de conduits pour l'hydrogène naturel. QIMC prévoit d'élargir son portefeuille hydrogène grâce à des partenariats avec Record Resources, Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp et Blue Tree Energy Group en Ontario, en Nouvelle-Écosse et aux États-Unis.
De plus, le PDG John Karagiannidis a été nommé président du conseil d'administration, succédant à Jakson Inwentash.
Quebec Innovative Materials Corp (QIMCF) hat sein Phase-1-Bohrprogramm gestartet, das auf natürliches Wasserstoff in St-Bruno-de-Guigues, Quebec, abzielt. Die 5.000-Meter-Kampagne konzentriert sich auf zwei strategisch vielversprechende Gebiete, für die Bohrgenehmigungen bei den zuständigen Behörden in Quebec eingereicht wurden. Das Programm umfasst flache stratigraphische Bohrungen in einem Winkel von 30-35 Grad und erreicht vertikale Tiefen von 500-600 Metern.
Das Unternehmen beabsichtigt, geologische Merkmale zu charakterisieren, Verwerfungssysteme zu untersuchen und die Durchlässigkeit in zerklüfteten Formationen zu bewerten, die als Leitungen für natürlichen Wasserstoff dienen könnten. QIMC plant, sein Wasserstoff-Portfolio durch Partnerschaften mit Record Resources, Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp und Blue Tree Energy Group in Ontario, Nova Scotia und den USA zu erweitern.

- Launch of strategic 5,000-meter Phase 1 drilling program targeting natural hydrogen
- Favorable regulatory environment in Quebec supporting industry growth
- Expansion of hydrogen portfolio through strategic partnerships across multiple regions
- Recent significant results from monitoring wells supporting clean natural hydrogen model
- Drilling results and commercial viability yet to be proven
- Project subject to regulatory approval pending drilling permits
Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - May 1, 2025) - Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (CSE: QIMC) (OTCQB: QIMCF) (FSE: 7FJ) ("QIMC" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the launch of its Phase 1 drilling program consisting of a 5,000-meter campaign across two strategic high-potential sectors in St-Bruno-de-Guigues, Quebec. The Company has formally filed for the required drilling permits with Quebec regulatory authorities.
John Karagiannidis, CEO of QIMC, stated, "The launch of our Phase 1 drilling campaign represents an important milestone for QIMC, aligning directly with our strategic objective of defining Quebec as a leading region for natural hydrogen. Our rigorous scientific approach and commitment to operational excellence position us well to unlock substantial value for our shareholders. Additionally, we view Quebec's proactive regulatory stance as highly positive for our industry, providing clarity and support as we pursue responsible and sustainable growth." With the onset of warmer and milder weather conditions, we also eagerly anticipate further data from our eight monitoring and measuring wells, particularly following recently announced significant results that reinforce our clean natural hydrogen model.
The Phase 1 program will consist of strategically planned shallow 30 to 35 degrees stratigraphic drilling reaching vertical depths between 500 and 600 meters. This carefully structured approach aims to maximize geological insights by extensively sampling and documenting local sedimentary rock formations. Key objectives of the drilling include thoroughly characterizing geological features, investigating the local faulting and fracturation systems that lack surface visibility, due to very thick Quaternary overburden, and critically assessing permeability and porosity within fractured geological formations. These fractures are considered essential conduits for the advective migration and accumulation of natural clean hydrogen, significantly enhancing our natural clean hydrogen model of these targeted areas.
"The proven success of our hydrogen model and our unique methodology will be strategically applied with our partners Record Resources, Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp and Blue Tree Energy Group this spring and summer to advance our expanding natural hydrogen portfolio, including our assets in Ontario, Nova Scotia, and our planned initiatives in the United States," concluded Mr. Karagiannidis.
QIMC also wishes to announce the appointment of John Karagiannidis, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, as Chairman of the Board, effective immediately. Mr. Karagiannidis succeeds Jakson Inwentash. The Board of Directors wishes to extend its appreciation to Jakson Inwentash for his dedication and significant contributions as Chairman. John Karagiannidis commented, "I am grateful for the opportunity to assume the role of Chairman and look forward to continuing to guide QIMC toward achieving its strategic objectives. On behalf of the Board and the entire Company, I thank Jakson Inwentash for his valuable service."
