Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp. (QMET) has announced an acquisition agreement with the beneficial owners of the Colchester project in Nova Scotia. The project comprises 559 claims strategically located adjacent to Quebec Innovative Materials Corp.'s (QIMC) Nova Scotia hydrogen district. This agreement involves a payment and issuance of common shares to acquire the project. The region's geological structures make it ideal for natural hydrogen production, with deep sedimentary depth and strong geothermal gradients. The acquisition aims to capitalize on the growing renewable natural hydrogen sector by leveraging QIMC's exploration model. The companies have expanded their strategic collaboration to include Nova Scotia-based natural hydrogen exploration, aiming to streamline operations and accelerate project milestones. QMET's CEO, Richard Penn, highlights the strategic positioning in Canada's natural hydrogen market and emphasizes the collaboration's role in advancing exploration and delivering value to shareholders. QIMC's CEO, John Karagiannidis, expresses satisfaction in expanding their natural hydrogen strategic relationship with QMET into Nova Scotia, recognizing the potential of the region. Both CEOs are optimistic about the future exploration outcomes and the positive contribution to Canada's natural hydrogen sector. Further updates on exploration plans, milestones, and timelines are expected to be provided in the near term. QMET's exploration programs in Quebec target critical metals, precious metals, and natural hydrogen, while collaborating with Quebec Innovative Materials Corp.
