QIMC Reports Results from Hole 1 DDH-26-01 at West-Advocate Natural

Discovery Highlights — West-Advocate Natural Hydrogen Project

• Hole 1 DDH-26-01 completed as part of QIMC’s five-hole 2026 drilling program
• R2G2™ exploration model applied to drill targeting within the Cobequid-Chedabucto structural corridor – trademark filed
• Scientific commentary by Prof. Marc Richer-Laflèche (INRS) discusses geological observations from drilling within the Cobequid-Chedabucto Fault Zone
• Core observations indicate extensive fault-related fracturing, consistent with structural pathways capable of facilitating fluid migration
• Multiple structural configurations described, including thrust-related compartments, hanging-wall anticlines and reverse-reactivated extensional faults
• Regional geological framework extends more than 300-km along the Cobequid-Chedabucto structural corridor
• Drilling of Hole DDH-26-02 has reached approximately 500 metres.

Completion of Hole 1 Provides Key Geological Data from West-Advocate

Québec Innovative Materials Corp. (CSE: QIMC) (OTCQB: QIMCF) (FSE: 7FJ) (“QIMC” or the “Company”) today reports further results following completion of Hole 1, borehole DDH-26-01, at its West-Advocate natural hydrogen exploration project in Nova Scotia, located within the Cobequid-Chedabucto structural corridor.

Hole DDH-26-02 Drilling Update

Drilling of Hole DDH-26-02 has reached approximately 500 metres depth. The hole targets structurally favourable zones west of DDH-26-01 where geophysical anomalies, elevated soil hydrogen readings and elevated radon and thoron concentrations have been identified and publicly disclosed in our previous press releases.

Drilling of DDH-26-02 continues to target structurally favourable zones associated with hydrogen migration as part of the Company’s ongoing exploration program.

CEO Statement

“The completion of our first drill hole at West-Advocate marks an important milestone for the project and provides valuable scientific data for our ongoing exploration program. As drilling progresses on Hole 2, our technical team continues to collect structural, geochemical, and geological data related to hydrogen-bearing zones while advancing the next phases of drilling across the project area,” stated John Karagiannidis, President & CEO of QIMC.

Why This Matters — West-Advocate Natural Hydrogen Project

The completion of Hole 1 DDH-26-01 provides new subsurface scientific data from the West-Advocate project area within the Cobequid-Chedabucto Fault Zone, one of eastern Canada’s most significant crustal structural corridors.

The drilling results and associated scientific observations provide insight into the structural architecture and geological conditions present within the project area and contribute to the Company’s ongoing exploration of geological environments for natural hydrogen occurrence and accumulation. No hydraulic fracking or reservoir stimulation is involved in the exploration process.

These results form part of QIMC’s broader R2G2 clean natural hydrogen program drilling geological environments…
