Québec Innovative Materials Corp. announced that work on the Company's 100% owned Ville Marie property has commenced following up on recent field work, sampling at surface and site visits. In late 2022, QI Materials acquired the Ville Marie property from an arms-length vendor.

The Property is located in the St-Bruno-de-Guigues region, 15 km north of the town of Ville Marie, near the Quebec and Ontario border, between the mining regions of Rouyn-Noranda, Québec, and Sudbury, Ontario. The area has numerous past producing industrial mineral operations. Initial reconnaissance of the property conducted by Dr. Marc Richer-Lafeche, PhD, P.Geo., of the Institut National Research Scientifique, in April 2023, and by the QI Materials team in July 2023 have confirmed that quartzite and dolomite rock formations exist outside of the footprint of the existing historical quarries, within the QI Materials mineral claims. A number of quartzite outcrops and samples have been collected which are currently undergoing internal analysis before being sent to the lab for purity analysis.
