DiagnaMed Completes Acquisition of Colchester East Natural Hydrogen Project in Nova Scotia
DiagnaMed Consolidates Nova Scotia Footprint Amidst Ontario Discovery Correction

Executive Summary
- DiagnaMed Holdings Corp. announced the closing of its acquisition of the Colchester East Natural Hydrogen Project in Nova Scotia on May 15, 2026.
- The transaction involved $10,000 cash and issuance of 10,000,000 common shares at an issue price of $0.06 per share.
- The property comprises 30 licenses totaling 2,104 claims in the Cumberland Basin.
- Vendors received a 2.0% gross revenue royalty on hydrogen or minerals produced, with an option for DiagnaMed to buy back 50% of this royalty for $2,000,000.
- Directors and officers were granted 7,000,000 options at $0.075 exercise price with a two-year term.
- This closing follows the initial acquisition agreement announced on December 10, 2025.
Material Impact
- The news represents the execution of a previously announced transaction (December 2025), meaning market expectations were already priced in during the prior announcement phase.
- Asset expansion is positive as it adds 30 licenses to the portfolio, diversifying beyond the Ontario Temiscamingue Graben into Nova Scotia.
- Dilution risk exists with 10 million shares issued; however, at $0.06 per share ($600k value), this is a relatively small capital outlay compared to typical exploration budgets.
- The royalty burden (2%) creates a future revenue obligation but includes a buy-back option for $2M which mitigates long-term cost if production scales.
- No new financial catalysts or revenue milestones are disclosed; the impact is incremental asset accumulation rather than fundamental value creation.
