QIMC Advances Its Nova Scotia Natural Hydrogen District with Completion of a Baseline Environmental Assessment at Eatonville
Montreal, Quebec–(Newsfile Corp. – December 30, 2025) – Québec Innovative Materials Corp. (CSE: QIMC) (OTCQB: QIMCF) (FSE: 7FJ) (“QIMC” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the completion of a baseline (pre-disturbance) environmental assessment at its Eatonville project area, one of the Company’s most advanced focus zones within its Nova Scotia natural hydrogen district. This milestone represents a structured step forward in the disciplined and responsible execution of QIMC’s subsurface development.
The assessment establishes essential environmental baseline conditions required to support planning for subsequent phases of subsurface development. It forms part of QIMC’s staged, data-driven approach designed to reduce risk, support technical decision-making, and align early with regulatory requirements. The work was completed by Strum Consulting, a well-established environmental and engineering firm in Atlantic Canada with extensive experience supporting natural resource and energy infrastructure projects.
The Eatonville area, together with the adjacent West Advocate zone, currently represents one of QIMC’s highest-priority focus areas in Nova Scotia. Exploration activities completed to date have identified surface and near-surface hydrogen anomalies, as well as interpreted geological structures that play a role in hydrogen migration. These results are being integrated with geophysical and geological datasets to target and rank zones with the highest potential.
In parallel, the “Institut national de la recherche scientifique” (INRS) is analyzing recently acquired geophysical data, including gravimetric readings, to refine subsurface structural interpretations and support the prioritization of drill targets associated with fault-controlled hydrogen migration pathways.
John Karagiannidis, President and CEO of QIMC, said:
The completion of the baseline environmental assessment at Eatonville marks tangible progress in the disciplined advancement of our Nova Scotia natural hydrogen district,
“This milestone allows us to continue technical target prioritization while integrating environmental, geological, and geophysical considerations early in the process-an approach we believe is essential to long-term value creation.”
QIMC continues to advance its natural hydrogen strategy across multiple jurisdictions, including Nova Scotia, Ontario, Québec, and Minnesota. The Company’s exploration approach emphasizes structured, data-driven progression, responsible project advancement, and high standards of governance, regulatory compliance, and environmental stewardship.
