QIMC Confirms Completion of Extensive Hydrogen Soil Sampling in Ontario's Temiscamingue Graben

Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - September 30, 2025) - Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (CSE: QIMC) (OTCQB: QIMCF) (FSE: 7FJ) ("QIMC" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of its large-scale soil-gas sampling program on the Ontario side of the Témiscamingue Graben, conducted in collaboration with the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS). More than 500 soil-gas samples were collected across the property, with the comprehensive dataset now under analysis.

"The scale of the QIMC hydrogen soil sampling campaign, together with partner DiagnaMed Holdings Corp's (DMED) soil sampling campaign in the region, underscores the Témiscamingue Graben as an anchor to a district-scale hydrogen corridor spanning Quebec and Ontario. Together with our partners, we are advancing one of the most comprehensive natural hydrogen development initiatives in North America," stated John Karagiannidis, CEO.

The Témiscamingue Graben initiative reinforces the promise of natural hydrogen as a scalable, low-carbon energy resource with strong regional and global relevance. By extending its exploration efforts from Quebec and Nova Scotia into Ontario, QIMC is further positioning itself as a leader in the clean natural hydrogen sector. This program not only advances the Company's commitment to responsible energy development, but also lays the groundwork for potential integration with future value-added opportunities such as clean ammonia production.

Community Partnerships

QIMC acknowledges the invaluable collaboration of the Témiscamingue First Nations and the continued support of Northern Ontario communities. Their engagement is essential to QIMC's vision of advancing exploration in a manner that is both responsible and inclusive. By working together, the Company seeks to ensure that regional hydrogen development generates shared economic opportunities while respecting cultural values and environmental stewardship.
