## Minestarters Atlas summary

QIMC has reported a new company record of 27.8% natural hydrogen at a depth of 374 metres in the DDH-26-05 drill hole at Bennett Hill, Nova Scotia. The results show multiple high-concentration zones and a clean gas profile with negligible methane and carbon dioxide, supported by operational evidence of enhanced structural permeability.

Reasoning: The drill hole DDH-26-05 established a new company record for hydrogen concentration \(27.8%\) at a significantly shallower depth than the previous record, while also demonstrating clean gas composition and structural permeability.

- Positive factor: New company record grade

- Positive factor: Shallower intercept than previous record

- Positive factor: Multiple high-concentration zones

- Positive factor: Clean gas composition \(low CH4/CO2\)

- Positive factor: Evidence of structural permeability

- Negative factor: Preliminary field readings only

- Negative factor: No laboratory confirmation stated

Facts used in scoring: 5

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The results extend the reported hydrogen system below 300 metres.

Evidence · text

> The new results extend the reported hydrogen system below 300 metres

**No QA/QC Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document.

Why it applies: The release mentions preliminary field readings from an IsoJar analyzer but does not mention certified laboratory assaying or a QP sign-off for these specific mud-gas results.

Evidence · text

> Mud-gas readings reported in this release are preliminary field readings from IsoJar headspace samples

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
