(CSE: QIMC) (OTCQB: QIMCF) (FSE: 7FJ) ("QIMC" or the "Company") is pleased to report mud-gas results from DDH-26-03 at its West-Advocate natural hydrogen exploration project in Cumberland County, Nova Scotia. QIMC-26-03 returned the highest H₂ mud-gas readings recorded to date on the West-Advocate property and represents the Company's first lateral step-out test of the H₂ system, drilled approximately 2.5 kilometres along the Cobequid-Chedabucto structural corridor from previously reported DDH-26-01 and DDH-26-02. The intersection of substantially higher-grade percent-level H₂ readings 2.5 km from the prior drill locations supports the interpretation that the West-Advocate hydrogen system may exhibit lateral continuity along the structural corridor rather than being confined to a localized anomaly. The hole was completed to a final logged depth of 932 metres. A total of 102 IsoJar headspace mud-gas samples were collected over the 473-932 m interval. The dataset returns a peak reading of 10.77% H₂ at 848 m — the highest mud-gas H₂ value recorded to date on the West-Advocate property — along with five stacked percent-level readings ≥5% H₂ in a 69-metre interval (5.10% at 779 m, 5.10% at 806 m, 8.87% at 815 m, 7.29% at 818 m, and 10.77% at 848 m), three readings ≥7% in a tighter 33-metre sub-interval (815-848 m), and a separate elevated reading of 3.42% at 668 m. All five ≥5% H₂ readings are hosted within vuggy, magnetite and pyrrhotite-bearing polymictic conglomerate. Co-collected gas samples returned methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO2) at or below detection limit across the entire anomaly interval, a gas signature interpreted by the Company as consistent with a natural-hydrogen system and not typical of conventional thermogenic hydrocarbon gas systems.","length":1894,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Highlights","length":10,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"list","items":[{"val":[{"type":"text","content":"Highest H₂ mud-gas readings recorded to date on the We...
