Montreal, Quebec — September 3, 2025 — Leads & Copy — Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. has confirmed a second major natural hydrogen zone in Nova Scotia, following record-setting results at West Advocate. The company and its research partner INRS identified a continuous 4 km anomalous line at Eastern Advocate (Bennett Hill Road section), averaging 623 ppm H₂ with a high of 2,247 ppm.
These results underscore Nova Scotia’s emergence as a district-scale natural hydrogen hub in North America. Further results are pending from additional sites at Southampton and Springhill.
Discovery Highlights – East Advocate:
- 4 km anomalous transect northeast of the West Advocate discovery.
- 47 soil-gas samples collected and analyzed on-site by INRS.
- Average concentration: 623 ppm H₂; median 520 ppm H₂.
- Peak value: 2,247 ppm H₂.
- Frequency: 36% of samples between 500-1,000 ppm and 11% between 1,000-2,000 ppm.
According to John Karagiannidis, President & CEO of QIMC, the Eastern Advocate results firmly establish that Nova Scotia hosts not just isolated anomalies, but an expanding hydrogen system with scale. QIMC is leading the charge in unlocking Nova Scotia as one of the most promising natural hydrogen addresses in North America.
QIMC wishes to sincerely thank the Advocate community for their support, as well as the Nova Scotia Mineral Management team.
