QMET Expands Nova Scotia Drill Program to 2,500 Meters as QIMC Geophysical and Field Work Refines Hydrogen-Anomalous Zones

QMET · Price

Executive Summary

  • Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp. announced the expansion of its Nova Scotia drill program to 2,500 metres.
  • The decision follows enhanced geophysical interpretation and fieldwork by technical advisor Quebec Innovative Materials Corp (QIMC).
  • Expanded drilling aims to better evaluate hydrogen‑anomalous zones, validate geological models, and move the project toward key value‑creation milestones.

Key Details

  • Program Expansion: Drill program increased from its prior scope to a total of 2,500 metres in Nova Scotia.
  • Technical Basis: QIMC’s integrated geophysical interpretation, on‑site mapping, and sampling refined several hydrogen‑anomalous zones across the QMET target area.
  • Objective: Focus drilling on highest‑potential targets, improve accuracy of geological models, and assess continuity and scale of anomalous zones.
  • Milestones: Expanded program will enable validation of the model and progress toward “key value‑creation milestones” (unspecified).
  • Preparation Status: Preparations with QIMC are underway; further updates will be issued as operational and geological milestones are reached.

Notable Quotes

“The refined data set allows us to focus drilling on the highest‑potential targets with greater accuracy… Expanding the program to 2,500 metres positions us to more efficiently evaluate these zones, validate our geological model, and advance the project toward key value‑creation milestones.” – Richard Penn, CEO, Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp.
