# QIMC Reports Record 30.0% Clean Natural Hydrogen at 413 Metres as Pressurized Free Gas Observations Trigger Repeated Hydrogen Alarms at Bennett Hill, Nova Scotia Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/qimc-reports-record-30-0-clean-natural-hydrogen-at-413-metres-as-pressurized-fre--18e81060-c9b9-4496-a3c4-7089f1d58a70 Original source: https://orestocks.com/company/QIMC.CN/press-releases/6154546269763432 Publisher: orestocks Original announcement: 2026-09-01T13:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. - Ticker: QIMC.CN - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: Nova Scotia - Primary commodity: Hydrogen - Secondary commodities: Methane, Carbon dioxide - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-09-01 13:35:43 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary QIMC has reported a new company record of 30.0% hydrogen at 413 metres in the DDH-26-05 hole at the Bennett Hill project. The interval from 380 to 413 metres shows high persistence of hydrogen, with 11 of 12 sampled depths returning double-digit concentrations. Additionally, drilling observations between 413 and 416 metres included pressurized free gas reaching the surface and triggering hydrogen alarms. Reasoning: The release reports a new company record for hydrogen concentration \(30.0%\) over a sustained interval \(380-413m\) and provides qualitative evidence of pressurized free gas, which is a significant discovery signal for a hydrogen project. - Positive factor: New company record grade - Positive factor: Significant thickness of high-grade zone - Positive factor: Evidence of pressurized free gas - Positive factor: Clean gas profile \(low CH4/CO2\) - Negative factor: Operational difficulties due to gas pressure - Negative factor: Preliminary nature of mud-gas measurements Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The new results extend the high-concentration hydrogen zone deeper into DDH-26-05 beyond the previously reported 374m record. Evidence · text > The results reported today directly extend the high-concentration hydrogen zone disclosed in the Company's preceding DDH-26-05 update. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6.

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.
