Our Projects

Matane Hydrogn Project

Applying the R2G2 Natural Hydrogen Model to HHE’s Matane Project, Québec

Our Projects — Québec

Introduction

The Matane Natural Hydrogen Project is 100% owned by First Atlas Resources Corp. (HHE) and sits in the Appalachian region of Québec — a geologically distinct but directly analogous setting to QIMC's flagship St-Bruno-de-Guigues discovery,

where surface readings exceeded 7,000 ppm H₂ at only 50 metres depth. Under a formal strategic partnership, QIMC is applying its full Reactivated Rift and Graben Geostructure (R2G2) exploration model to Matane, including INRS scientific oversight — the same team and methodology now delivering confirmed multi-zone H₂ discoveries in Nova Scotia.

Why Matane Mirrors The Proven R2G2 Template

Geological Analog

Geological Feature St Bruno De Guigues (QIMC Proven) Matane Project (HHE / QIMC)
Ultramafic Source Rocks
Serpentinized peridotites; olivine-rich ophiolitic complex
Ordovician peridotites (Ruisseau-Isabelle mélange); magnetite-rich basalts (Schickshock Group)
H₂ Generation Mechanism
Serpentinization & radiolytic water-rock reactions at depth
Same — deep groundwater circulation through peridotites and tectonized zones drives serpentinization
Structural Control
Multi-km fault system along Lake Témiscamingue outlet; R2G2 rift graben architecture
26 km Schickshock-South fault zone corridor — crustalscale structure highly conducive to H₂ migration
Sedimentary Host
Carboniferous basin sediments acting as structural traps
Arkosic sedimentary formations in tectonic transition zone (Cambro-Ordovician / Siluro-Devonian)
Proven Surface Signal
>7,000 ppm H₂ at only 50m depth — one of highest shallow Proven Surface Signal readings in Canada
Soil sampling + geophysical surveys in progress; targeting analogous fault-bound zones

R2G2 Methodology Deployment

Matane Project

Work Program as Announced by QIMC & HHE
  • Phase 1:

    Soil gas sampling program using QIMC's proprietary field protocols — same multi-gas detection approach (H₂, CH₄, CO₂, H₂S) deployed in Nova Scotia and St-Bruno-de-Guigues.

    High-precision magnetic and gravity surveys to map ultramafic rock formations rich in olivine and magnetite — direct analogs to the rock suites driving generation at St-Bruno-de-Guigues.

  • Phase 2:

    Hydrogeological and geochemical studies evaluating the role of deepseated groundwater circulation in hydrogen formation — serpentinization and water-rock reaction modeling led by INRS.

  • Phase 3:

    Integration of all datasets to define priority drill targets along the Schickshock-South fault corridor, replicating the pre-drill targeting workflow that produced the West-Advocate discovery.

Partnership Structure
QIMC acts as technical operator with full R2G2 model rights; receives 4,000,000 HHE shares + 0.8% gross revenue royalty — aligning both companies’ long-term interests.
Prof. Marc Richer-LaFlèche (INRS) — architect of R2G2 — provides scientific oversight, ensuring consistency with validated methodology.

Dr. Mathieu Piché (OGC) serves as Qualified Person for Québec exploration programs.

Why Matane's Geology is Compelling for R2G2

  • The Schickshock-South fault zone spans 26 km — a crustal-scale structure that, per the R2G2 model, acts as the primary conduit for upward hydrogen migration from deep peridotitic source rocks.

  • Ordovician peridotites of the Ruisseau-Isabelle mélange are the same rock type responsible for serpentinization-driven H₂ generation documented globally and confirmed at QIMC's St-Bruno project.

  • Structural complexity: Tectonic transition zone (Cambro-Ordovician / Siluro-Devonian) introduces structural complexity — multiple orogenic overprints create the fracture permeability and reactivated fault geometries central to the R2G2 model.

  • Arkosic sedimentary cover above the basement provides the same trap architecture identified at QIMC's Quebec discoveries.

Matane Project

Investment Thesis

  • Earliest-stage, highest-optionality position: Matane has not yet been drilltested — soil gas + geophysics currently defining priority targets

  • QIMC's proven Quebec track record (>7,000 ppm H₂ at 50m at St-Bruno) directly validates the Appalachian geological model underpinning Matane

  • 100% HHE ownership with QIMC as operator provides institutional-quality technical governance at junior exploration cost

  • Québec's supportive clean energy policy framework and proximity to industrial H₂ demand centres enhances long-term commercialization pathway

HHE'S Multi -Property R2G2 Platform
Matane, QC

3 structurally separate H₂ zones in a single borehole at 142m, 313m, and 354m — confirming district-scale system continuity.

Colchester, NS

72 metres at 354m; system remains open below 711m — scale not yet bounded.

Cumberland Basin, NS

INRS-verified true in-situ concentration modelled at potentially 21%+ by volume at depth.

Same Operator & Science

Confirms inorganic, structurally hosted origin, not thermogenic hydrocarbons.
