QMET EXPANDS NOVA SCOTIA DRILL PROGRAM TO 2,500 METERS AS QIMC GEOPHYSICAL AND FIELD WORK REFINES HYDROGEN-ANOMALOUS ZONES

Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp. has expanded its Nova Scotia drill program to 2,500 metres, following recent geophysical surveys and fieldwork completed by Quebec Innovative Materials Corp., the company's technical lead and adviser on the project.

Quebec Innovative's integrated geophysical interpretation, supported by on-site geological mapping and sampling, has further refined and expanded several hydrogen-anomalous zones across the Q Precious & Battery target area. The updated modelling has improved Q Precious & Battery's understanding of the scale, structure and continuity of these zones, providing the technical basis for increasing drill capacity.

"Our technical team, led by Quebec Innovative, has delivered meaningful advancements in defining and prioritizing our hydrogen-anomalous trends," said the chief executive officer of Q Precious & Battery, Richard Penn. "The refined data set allows us to focus drilling on the highest-potential targets with greater accuracy. Expanding the program to 2,500 metres positions us to more efficiently evaluate these zones, validate our geological model and advance the project toward key value-creation milestones. We remain committed to a disciplined, data-driven exploration strategy designed to deliver long-term value for shareholders."

Preparations with Quebec Innovative for the expanded drilling phase are in progress, and the company will issue updates as geological and operational milestones are reached.
