QMET AND QIMC ANNOUNCE STRATEGIC WORK PROGRAM FOR THE MATANE NATURAL HYDROGEN PROJECT
Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp. and Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. have entered a strategic work program to explore and develop the Matane natural hydrogen project, located in the Appalachian region of Quebec. This initiative leverages Quebec Innovative's cutting-edge expertise in hydrogen exploration and geological resource characterization to unlock the project's full natural clean hydrogen potential.
Matane Natural Hydrogen Project: A Promising Geological Opportunity
The Matane project is situated in a tectonic transition zone between Cambro-Ordovician rocks (Taconic orogeny) and Siluro-Devonian formations (Acadian orogeny). This geological environment is highly favourable for the formation and accumulation of natural clean hydrogen due to the presence of:
Basaltic source rocks rich in magnetite (Schickshock group);
Ordovician peridotites from the Ruisseau-Isabelle melange;
Arkosic sedimentary rocks rich in potassium, which have the potential to generate hydrogen and helium through radiolytic reactions driven by potassium decay.
These key geological units are intersected by major fault structures, including the Schickshock-South fault, which may play a crucial role in the migration and entrapment of natural clean hydrogen.
Project Location and Accessibility
The property extends over 26 kilometres, following a structural corridor highly conducive to deep groundwater circulation and water rock reactions essential for hydrogen generation.
The project benefits from excellent logistical access, with direct road connections through Route 195, ensuring efficient mobilization of exploration teams and equipment.
Work Program and Quebec Innovative's Expertise
The Matane project work program is based on a scientific and technologically advanced approach, integrating Quebec Innovative's industry-leading exploration methodologies. The key initiatives include:
Cutting-edge soil sampling program: harnessing Quebec Innovative's industry-leading methodologies and exploration expertise, honed through groundbreaking discoveries in St-Bruno-de-Guigues, to identify and validate high-potential hydrogen-bearing zones;
High-precision geophysical surveys: deploying state-of-the-art magnetic and gravity surveys to map ultramafic rock formations rich in olivine and magnetite, enhancing target identification and exploration efficiency;
Hydrogeological and geochemical studies: evaluating the role of deep-seated groundwater circulation in hydrogen formation and accumulation.
Commitment to Innovation and Sustainable Development
This partnership between Q Precious and Quebec Innovative reflects a shared commitment to positioning Quebec as a leader in clean natural hydrogen exploration -- a clean and renewable energy resource. The project aligns with a sustainable development strategy, leveraging Quebec's unique geological advantages while ensuring a minimal environmental footprint.
"The Matane project presents a unique opportunity to apply our expertise to a highly promising geological setting," said John Karagiannidis, chief executive officer of Quebec Innovative. "Our scientific approach and use of advanced geophysical technologies will allow us to efficiently explore the natural hydrogen potential of this region."
Richard Penn, president of Q Precious, added, "Our collaboration with QIMC is focused on implementing cutting-edge exploration methodologies to maximize discovery and evaluation of natural clean hydrogen resources in this strategic region."
This partnership between Q Precious and Quebec Innovative reinforces both companies' commitment to exploring and developing strategic natural clean resources, paving the way for a new era in the natural clean hydrogen industry in Quebec and North America.
