QIMC Reports Elevated Hydrogen Results from Hole DDH-26-02 at West Advocate, Confirming Multiple Zones Across Depth Including Stronger Deeper Interval
Borehole DDH-26-02 returns peak Hydrogen 2.75× higher than Hole DDH-26-01, with increasing concentrations observed at depthMontreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - March 19, 2026) - Québec Innovative Materials Corp. (CSE: QIMC) (OTCQB: QIMCF) (FSE: 7FJ) ("QIMC" or the "Company") reports headspace gas results from DDH-26-02, the second borehole in its 2026 natural hydrogen exploration program at the West Advocate project, located within the Cobequid-Chedabucto Fault Zone ("CCFZ"), Nova...

Hydrogen concentrations remained elevated at 500 m, where drilling was terminated due to seasonal ground conditions, indicating the system remains open at depth, and a surface soil-gas anomaly identified in prior work lies northwest of the bottom of the hole, beyond the depth reached by drilling to date.
