QMET Explores Hydrogen Potential in Quebec's Ville-Marie Region
Key Ideas
- Property strategically located in a new hydrogen exploration hotspot, near QIMC's gas-in-soil discovery area.
- Favorable geological features for hydrogen exploration, including natural trapping capabilities, enhance the site's potential.
- QMET owns 100% of 11 claims covering 633 hectares, providing a solid foundation for further exploration and development.
- While early-stage exploration has not confirmed hydrogen presence on the property, the pivot to hydrogen exploration signifies a strategic shift.
Q Precious and Battery Metals Corp. (CSE:QMET) has announced the presence of its Lorrain claims in the emerging hydrogen exploration region of Ville-Marie, Quebec. The 11 claims, spanning 633 hectares, strategically positioned 2km north of Béarn and 5km east of Ville-Marie, have attracted attention due to the favorable geological characteristics for hydrogen exploration. The presence of Cobalt Group sedimentary rocks, Nipissing mafic dykes, and impermeable sills that can trap hydrogen gas has sparked interest, especially after Quebec Innovative Materials Corp's detection of high hydrogen gas levels in the soil.
The region's property ownership by QMET places it within close proximity to the gas-in-soil discovery by QIMC, just 14km away. Despite no confirmed hydrogen findings on the property, the strategic location and geological setup offer promising opportunities for exploration. QMET's recent transition from precious metals to hydrogen exploration indicates a shift in focus and strategy, signaling a new direction for the company.
QMET's 100% ownership of the 11 claims covering 633 hectares provides a strong foundation for future exploration activities. The area's history of ultramafic rock exploration for precious metals has paved the way for this new hydrogen-focused endeavor. The company's acquisition of the Lorrain property through claim staking in 2020 aligns well with the growing interest and potential in hydrogen exploration in the region.
