to the northwest of DDH-26-01 where geophysical anomalies, elevated soil hydrogen, and high radon\/thoron concentrations indicate additional migration pathways. <br><br>DDH-26-02 recorded a peak hydrogen concentration of 8,249 ppmV at 434 m depth, representing the highest single reading observed in the current drilling program and approximately 2.75 times the peak value recorded in the first hole, DDH-26-01. Hydrogen concentrations remained elevated at 500 m, where drilling was terminated due to seasonal ground conditions, indicating the system remains open at depth, and a surface soil-gas anomaly identified in prior work lies northwest of the bottom of the hole, beyond the depth reached by drilling to date. All hydrogen concentrations measured from borehole water samples are subject to dilution effects as previously disclosed in the Company's March 10 press release, including work by Prof. Marc Richer-Lafl\u00e8che. <br><br>Hole DDH-26-02 demonstrates that hydrogen is not confined to a single interval, but occurs across multiple zones, with stronger and more consistent readings observed at depth. The persistence of elevated hydrogen at the end of drilling indicates that the system has not yet been fully defined. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-fancy-list-wrap\">\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-flex flex-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-fancy-list-number-icon\"><span>2<\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-fancy-list-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"bdt-fancy-list-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFive-hole 2026\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"bdt-fancy-list-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tProgramme planned in total across the West-Advocate sector.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-fancy-list-wrap\">\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-flex flex-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-fancy-list-number-icon\"><span>3<\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-fancy-list-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"bdt-fancy-list-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOngoing INRS collaboration\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"bdt-fancy-list-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor downhole geochemistry, isotopic analysis, and structural modelling.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-92ce52f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"92ce52f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-382f397 e-con-full e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"382f397\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInRight&quot;,&quot;animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;fadeInDown&quot;,&quot;animation_delay&quot;:600}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1118c1c elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"1118c1c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-quote-left\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M464 256h-80v-64c0-35.3 28.7-64 64-64h8c13.3 0 24-10.7 24-24V56c0-13.3-10.7-24-24-24h-8c-88.4 0-160 71.6-160 160v240c0 26.5 21.5 48 48 48h128c26.5 0 48-21.5 48-48V304c0-26.5-21.5-48-48-48zm-288 0H96v-64c0-35.3 28.7-64 64-64h8c13.3 0 24-10.7 24-24V56c0-13.3-10.7-24-24-24h-8C71.6 32 0 103.6 0 192v240c0 26.5 21.5 48 48 48h128c26.5 0 48-21.5 48-48V304c0-26.5-21.5-48-48-48z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5487d8d elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5487d8d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>From a geological model to field-proven results \u2014 the R2G2 framework continues to demonstrate its power as a repeatable, science-first exploration tool.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dfd6e59 elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dfd6e59\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>John Karagiannidis \u2014 President &amp; CEO, Qu\u00e9bec Innovative Materials Corp.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3273dff e-con-full e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3273dff\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInRight&quot;,&quot;animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QI MATERIALS CORP.
