Quebec Innovative notes Orvian acquires Minnesota land

Mr. John Karagiannidis reports QUEBEC INNOVATIVE MATERIALS CORP. (QIMC) ANNOUNCES ORVIAN NATURAL RESOURCES I LLC HAS SECURED STRATEGIC US LAND PACKAGE IN MINNESOTA'S DULUTH COMPLEX FOR CLEAN NATURAL HYDROGEN DEVELOPMENT Quebec Innovative Materials Corp.'s strategic partner, Orvian Natural Resources I LLC, has secured its first significant land package totalling 1,600 acres within the highly valued Duluth complex in Minnesota. This milestone acquisition positions Orvian and Quebec Innovative at the forefront of clean natural hydrogen development efforts in the United States. "Securing this significant land package in the Duluth complex marks a critical advancement in our strategic U.S. expansion," stated John Karagiannidis, president of Quebec Innovative. "The geological similarities to our proven Quebec model provide us with strong confidence in the area's value for clean natural hydrogen development. We anticipate rapid progress as we continue negotiating additional land packages in other identified high-value areas of Minnesota." The Duluth complex, recognized for its unique geological characteristics, closely mirrors the proprietary clean natural hydrogen model collaboratively developed by Quebec Innovative and the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique in Quebec. The complex's geological framework, comprising extensive ultramafic rock formations and notable faulting structures, closely resembles the successful hydrogen-producing model proved at Quebec Innovative's flagship St.-Bruno-de-Guigues project. The newly staked Orvian assets are strategically positioned adjacent to Koloma's claims, underscoring the high value and competitive landscape for clean natural hydrogen in the region. Quebec Innovative extends its sincere gratitude to Jorge Ruiz del Vizo and the team at Black Tree Energy, as well as its partner in Orvian Natural Resources I, for their exceptional due diligence and efforts in securing this important land acreage. Further expanding its industry presence, Quebec Innovative is pleased to announce its participation at the coming Drilling for Hydrogen Conference, scheduled for Sept. 15 and Sept. 16, 2025, in Houston, Tex. The conference will provide an opportunity for Quebec Innovative to engage directly with its international partners, industry leaders and stakeholders. "Our attendance at the Drilling for Hydrogen Conference highlights our commitment to maintaining leadership and innovation in the clean natural hydrogen sector," Mr. Karagiannidis added. "We look forward to sharing our insights with our partners and leading international players."
