Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp. has announced the initiation of a soil sampling and exploration program focused on natural hydrogen in Nova Scotia. This strategic initiative, conducted in partnership with Québec Innovative Materials Corp. (QIMC), the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS), and the Temiscamingue First Nations, aims to identify and evaluate natural hydrogen assets in Nova Scotia. The program, led by QIMC and INRS, will utilize successful exploration models from Quebec to advance the understanding of Nova Scotia's geological formations for clean energy resources. The collaboration with the Temiscamingue First Nations will incorporate their traditional ecological knowledge to enhance the exploration activities' integrity and scope. The program will involve non-invasive soil gas sampling techniques and geophysical surveys to collect data that will guide future phases of the exploration program. Richard Penn, the CEO of Q Precious & Battery Metals, expressed pride in this collaboration and highlighted the company's commitment to responsible development and building strong relationships with local communities. The partnership aligns with the company's dedication to environmental stewardship, community engagement, and sustainable development. The press release also includes forward-looking statements regarding the exploration potential, geological characteristics, hydrogen discoveries, and the anticipated benefits arising from the collaboration agreement with QIMC. While the company believes these statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it acknowledges the risks and uncertainties involved in mineral and hydrogen exploration, including geological uncertainties, financing availability, market conditions, and operational risks. Q Precious & Battery Metals remains committed to updating and revising forward-looking statements based on new information or events. The company emphasizes its dedication to environmental responsibility, community partnerships, and sustainable development as it explores natural hydrogen resources in Nova Scotia.
