Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp. (QMET) announced encouraging initial results from its natural H₂ exploration program in Nova Scotia’s Apple River, Shulie, and Sandy areas.

In partnership with Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (QIMC) and the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS), QMET collected over 400 soil-gas samples, identifying multiple “hot zones” with elevated H₂ concentrations. Thirty samples exceeded 500 ppm, including standout readings of 973 ppm, 998 ppm, and 1,033 ppm. These anomalies correlate with basement fault structures, confirming the reliability of the exploration model and highlighting the area’s strong potential for clean H₂ development.

Nova Scotia’s unique geology, including granitic-gneiss formations, potassic intrusions, and salt tectonics, creates optimal conditions for H₂ generation and trapping. Combined with the province’s supportive regulatory framework and port infrastructure, the region is positioned as a prime candidate for sustainable H₂ production.

CEO Richard Penn stated, “These results significantly strengthen our confidence in Nova Scotia’s H₂ potential and establish a strong foundation for future exploration and clean energy development.”

Next steps include advanced geophysical surveys, permanent monitoring installations, and targeted drilling in Q4 2025.
