## Minestarters Atlas summary

Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. \(QIMC\) has launched a 78-km 2D seismic geophysical campaign across Quebec and Nova Scotia to map subsurface structures related to hydrogen anomalies. The program aims to guide the next phase of drilling and pilot production testing.

Reasoning: The announcement of a significant 78-km seismic survey marks a transition from discovery to pilot-scale planning, though it is an exploration-stage activity.

- Positive factor: launch of largest geophysical campaign to date

- Positive factor: transition toward pilot production pathway

- Positive factor: high-grade hydrogen concentrations previously reported

Facts used in scoring: 1

#### Tags used in scoring

**No QA/QC Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document.

Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is not true

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
