QIMC-Led Hydrogen Exploration Initiative Expands into Ontario Through Strategic Partnership with DiagnaMed and INRS for Natural Hydrogen Development
Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (CSE: QIMC) has announced the expansion of its natural hydrogen exploration model into Ontario through a strategic partnership with DiagnaMed Holdings Corp. (CSE: DMED) and INRS. The exploration campaign will involve collecting over 2,000 soil gas samples across DiagnaMed's Ontario land package.
The initiative builds on QIMC's successful exploration model from the Temiscamingue region of Quebec, where they discovered sustained high hydrogen concentrations and evidence of deep, actively replenished hydrogen sources. The project will be led by Dr. Marc Richer-Laflèche of INRS and include participation from Temiscamingue First Nations members, demonstrating commitment to community-focused exploration.
Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (CSE: QIMC) ha annunciato l'espansione del suo modello di esplorazione dell'idrogeno naturale in Ontario tramite una partnership strategica con DiagnaMed Holdings Corp. (CSE: DMED) e l'INRS. La campagna di esplorazione prevede la raccolta di oltre 2.000 campioni di gas del suolo su tutta l'area terriera di DiagnaMed in Ontario.
L'iniziativa si basa sul modello di esplorazione di successo di QIMC nella regione di Temiscamingue, Quebec, dove sono state scoperte concentrazioni elevate e costanti di idrogeno e prove di fonti profonde di idrogeno attivamente rinnovate. Il progetto sarà guidato dal dott. Marc Richer-Laflèche dell'INRS e vedrà la partecipazione dei membri delle Prime Nazioni di Temiscamingue, dimostrando un impegno verso un'esplorazione orientata alla comunità.

Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (CSE: QIMC)는 DiagnaMed Holdings Corp. (CSE: DMED) 및 INRS와의 전략적 파트너십을 통해 온타리오에서 천연 수소 탐사 모델을 확장한다고 발표했습니다. 탐사 캠페인에서는 DiagnaMed의 온타리오 토지 구역 전역에서 2,000개 이상의 토양 가스 샘플을 수집할 예정입니다.
이 이니셔티브는 퀘벡의 테미스카밍 지역에서 성공적인 탐사 모델을 구축한 QIMC의 경험을 바탕으로 하며, 이곳에서는 지속적으로 높은 수소 농도와 깊고 활발히 보충되는 수소 원천의 증거가 발견되었습니다. 이 프로젝트는 INRS의 Dr. Marc Richer-Laflèche가 주도하며, 테미스카밍 퍼스트 네이션 구성원들의 참여도 포함되어 지역사회 중심 탐사에 대한 의지를 보여줍니다.

Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (CSE: QIMC) hat die Ausweitung seines Modells zur Erkundung von natürlichem Wasserstoff nach Ontario angekündigt, und zwar durch eine strategische Partnerschaft mit DiagnaMed Holdings Corp. (CSE: DMED) und dem INRS. Die Erkundungskampagne umfasst die Sammlung von über 2.000 Boden-Gasproben auf dem Landpaket von DiagnaMed in Ontario.
Die Initiative baut auf dem erfolgreichen Erkundungsmodell von QIMC in der Region Temiscamingue in Quebec auf, wo dauerhaft hohe Wasserstoffkonzentrationen und Hinweise auf tief liegende, aktiv nachgefüllte Wasserstoffquellen entdeckt wurden. Das Projekt wird von Dr. Marc Richer-Laflèche vom INRS geleitet und beinhaltet die Beteiligung von Mitgliedern der First Nations von Temiscamingue, was das Engagement für eine gemeinschaftsorientierte Erkundung unterstreicht.

Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - July 3, 2025) - Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (CSE: QIMC) ("QIMC" or the "Company"), North America's premier natural hydrogen exploration company, is pleased to announce that its proprietary exploration model, co-developed with the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS), will be deployed in Ontario through a strategic collaboration with DiagnaMed Holdings Corp. (CSE: DMED) ("DiagnaMed"). This expansion marks a major milestone for QIMC as its cutting-edge model, proven in the Temiscamingue region of Quebec, is now serving as the foundation for DiagnaMed's Ontario hydrogen exploration campaign.
The campaign, led by Dr. Marc Richer-Laflèche of INRS and supported by QIMC's technical team, will involve the collection of over 2,000 soil gas samples across DiagnaMed's Ontario land package. Members of the Temiscamingue First Nations will also participate in the campaign, reinforcing a commitment to inclusive, respectful, and community-focused exploration.
QIMC's exploration model, successfully implemented in St-Bruno-de-Guigues, has delivered exceptional results that are now informing regional exploration strategies across North America. Key findings from the Quebec program include:
- Sustained high hydrogen (H₂) concentrations directly tied to rapid, fault-controlled gas migration.
- Evidence of deep, actively replenished hydrogen sources, likely driven by radiolysis or iron oxidation processes.
- Clear identification of a textbook "advective fault" degassing system—among the most compelling natural hydrogen systems documented globally.
"The fact that our model is now being adopted for DiagnaMed's Ontario campaign is a powerful validation of the work our team and partners have undertaken over the past two years," said John Karagiannidis, CEO of QIMC. "This collaboration reflects not only the technical strength of our approach, but also the growing recognition of QIMC as a leader in natural hydrogen exploration in North America. We look forward to supporting this campaign and advancing scientific discovery in collaboration with INRS and DiagnaMed."
QIMC is committed to expanding its hydrogen development footprint across North America with collaborative, science-driven partnerships that respect local communities and the environment.
