Lachute, Quebec–(Newsfile Corp. – June 27, 2024) – Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (CSE: QIMC) (FSE: 7FJ) (“QI Materials”, “QIMC” or the “Company”), a leading player in the exploration and development of clean natural hydrogen and high-grade silica, has successfully delivered high-grade silica samples from its four prominent high-grade silica assets to the Pyrogenesis and HPQ’s PureVap facility in Montreal. This strategic move marks a significant milestone in QIMC’s commitment to advancing the exploration and utilization of high-purity silica for cutting-edge applications.

The silica shipped to HPQ comes mainly from metaquartzites units from the Charlevoix silica property (Zec des Martres sector). The latter has mineralogical, chemical and physical characteristics that are particularly well suited to HPQ silicon’s criteria to feed the new HPQ PureVap metallurgical process.

The delivery of these samples will facilitate comprehensive testing and analysis at the state-of-the-art facilities operated by Pyrogenesis and HPQ PureVap. The collaborative efforts aim to explore and optimize the potential of high-grade silica in various technological applications, including advancements fumed silica.

“We are thrilled to announce the delivery of our high-grade silica samples to Pyrogenesis and HPQ’s PureVap facility,” said John Karagiannidis, President of QIMC. “This collaboration represents a pivotal step forward in our mission to harness the full potential of high-grade silica for next-generation technologies, particularly in the realms of fumed silica production and beyond.”

The collaboration between QIMC, Pyrogenesis, and HPQ PureVap underscores a shared commitment to innovation and sustainable technological development. By leveraging our respective expertise and capabilities, our partnership aims to accelerate the development of high-performance silica-based materials and batteries that can drive forward critical advancements in energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.

“We look forward to the insights gained from the testing and discussions with Pyrogenesis and HPQ PureVap,” added John Karagiannidis. “Together, we are exploring new frontiers in material science and technology, with a strong focus on enhancing the efficiency and scalability of these projects.”
