QMET APPLAUDS QIMC'S QUEBEC DRILL PERMIT MILESTONE AND ADVANCES CLEAN NATURAL HYDROGEN INITIATIVE IN NOVA SCOTIA

Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp. is pleased to extend its congratulations to Québec Innovative Materials Corp. (QIMC) for securing a major regulatory milestone with the issuance of a 5,000-meter drill permit from the Government of Quebec. This achievement underscores the Quebec government's confidence in the pioneering clean natural hydrogen exploration strategy jointly developed by QIMC and the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS).

This regulatory approval follows thorough technical and environmental due diligence and serves as a strong endorsement of the collaborative hydrogen model that prioritizes scientific rigor and sustainable development. The same advanced exploration methods are currently being deployed by QIMC and INRS across QMET's properties in Nova Scotia.

In addition to its Nova Scotia exploration, QMET holds highly prospective clean natural hydrogen properties in the Matane region of Quebec, further strengthening the Company's strategic footprint in key geological zones across Eastern Canada.

QMET is pleased to announce the initial phase, lead by QIMC and INRS, of the Nova Scotia soil sampling program has already resulted in the successful collection of over 50 soil gas samples. This early progress highlights the strong potential for clean natural hydrogen in the region and reinforces QMET's commitment to the responsible and sustainable development of hydrogen resources alongside QIMC in Nova Scotia.

QMET remains focused on supporting the responsible development of clean natural hydrogen resources and is proud to collaborate with both QIMC and INRS in expanding this next-generation energy opportunity. The Company looks forward to continued progress and shared success as the clean hydrogen sector evolves in Quebec and Nova Scotia.
