QIMC Intersects Major Subsurface Fault Corridor with Elevated H2 Readings

Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (CSE: QIMC) (OTCQB: QIMCF) (FSE: 7FJ) (“QIMC” or the “Company”) is pleased to report significant initial results from the first 300 metres of its planned 650-metre diamond drill hole DDH-26-01 at its West Advocate Eatonville Project, Nova Scotia. Drilling remains ongoing.

The Company has intersected a previously unmapped hydrogen-bearing tectonic fault corridor measuring approximately 40 metres in apparent width between 142 metres and 191 metres depth.

These results provide strong subsurface data supporting the presence of a structurally controlled natural hydrogen system and materially confirming QIMC’s structural natural hydrogen model.

What This Means for Investors

QIMC’s results represent direct subsurface indication via drill bit of a pressurized structural conduit consistent with an active natural hydrogen migration system at West Advocate. With four additional drill holes planned and in situ quantitative measurements to follow, the Company has a defined, systematic, data-driven, and well-capitalized pathway for the next phases of its Nova Scotia natural hydrogen program.

John Karagiannidis, President of QIMC, notes:

“Reporting on the first 300 metres of a planned 650-metre hole, we have intersected a 40-metre-wide hydrogen-bearing fault corridor with readings in the ambient air around the borehole collar approximately 2,000 times atmospheric background levels. These results strongly support our structural hydrogen model and indicate we are operating within an active structurally controlled gas migration system.

The geochemical, geological, and geophysical similarities between the Eatonville Road and Bennett Hill areas suggest a broader structurally controlled hydrogen corridor across the Advocate region. Drilling remains ongoing as we continue evaluating the system at depth.”

TECHNICAL CONTEXT: MEASUREMENT METHODOLOGY

The winter exploration program at West Advocate has two important components.

The first, currently underway, uses conventional diamond drilling to document local geology and validate our exploration model, which was developed to explain the strong hydrogen, radon, and thoron anomalies observed in the soils of the area.

The drilling program is being executed by Maritime Diamond Drilling Ltd., an experienced Nova Scotia drilling contractor. Core logging and geological documentation are being conducted by Tower Resources Inc. of Nova Scotia, providing independent technical support for lithological, structural, and alteration characterization

Four hydrogen detectors were deployed to measure hydrogen concentrations at the edge of the wellhead and inside the drill compartment. These measurements are direct indicators of hydrogen emerging from the drill head, though the concentrations recorded are highly diluted by ambient atmospheric air, meaning the true subsurface concentrations may be significantly higher than what was measured.

The second component includes in situ sampling using pressurized water…
