Applying the R2G2 Natural Hydrogen Model Across HHE’s Nova Scotia Portfolio

Our Projects — Nova Scotia

Introduction

First Atlas Resources Corp. (HHE) — formerly Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp. (QMET) — holds the second-largest natural hydrogen land package in Nova Scotia's Cumberland Basin, after its technical partner QIMC.

Operating under a formal working relationship, QIMC directly applies its proven Reactivated Rift and Graben Geostructure (R2G2) exploration model to HHE’s properties — the same methodology that has just delivered one of the most significant natural hydrogen discoveries in North American exploration history at West-Advocate, immediately adjacent to HHE’s land position.

What QIMC Already Confirmed at West-Advocate

Drill Validation:

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

Largest fault corridor:

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

H₂ readings exceeded all field instrument limits:

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

Zero methane detected:

Confirms inorganic, structurally hosted origin, not thermogenic hydrocarbons.

Second Drill Hole:

QIMC 2nd drill hole with better readings than first and open at dept at 500 meters. Also, 3 more holes of drilling planned.

The R2G2 Blueprint

Why HHE's Lands Are Directly Analogous:

HHE's Colchester and Cumberland Basin licenses sit along the interpreted eastern continuation of the same Cobequid Fault Zone structural regime driving QIMC's discovery.
QIMC operates on HHE's behalf — same team, same model, same INRS scientific oversight applied to HHE's targets.
Surface anomalies on HHE ground are already confirmed — radon/thoron up to 85,000 Bq/m³ and H₂ readings from 178 ppm to >1,662 ppm across multiple corridors.

Shared Macro Tailwinds With The R2G2 Platform:

Adjacent to Active Discovery:

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

Same Operator & Science:

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

Carbon-Free at Source:

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

Regulatory Clarity:

Confirms inorganic, structurally hosted origin, not thermogenic hydrocarbons.

The R2G2 Blueprint

Proven Next Door, Replicating On HHE Ground

Investment Thesis

Leveraged exposure to a confirmed discovery — HHE's lands sit on the structural extension of North America's most scientifically validated natural H₂ system.
Drill-ready: QIMC has finalized target prioritization; 2,500m program approved and preparation in progress.
Exploration risk substantially de-risked — surface geochemistry, radon, and fault mapping already replicate pre-drill West-Advocate signal profile.
Nova Scotia's Powering the Economy Act provides a dedicated natural hydrogen regulatory framework, enhancing long-term investment certainty.

The R2G2 Methodology as Deployed on HHE Properties :

Phase 1 : Complete

Fault zone identification via surface topography, geological mapping, and field observations across Colchester, Apple River, Springhill, and Oxford areas.
Phase 2(a) : Complete

400+ soil-gas samples collected; INRS-led real-time data interpretation confirmed multiple hydrogen-anomalous fault-controlled degassing corridors.
Phase 2(b) : Complete

Complete: Radon-thoron verification confirms advective gas flows linked to mapped faults — identical signals to pre-drill West-Advocate.
Phase 3 : Active

Integrated geophysical interpretation (AMT, seismic, magnetic/gravimetric) by QIMC refining drill collar locations; 2,500m drill program authorized.
