Québec Innovative Materials Corp. announced results from a purity analysis on silica samples which have indicated over 98% pure silicon dioxide ("SiO2"). QIMC delivered silica samples of varying sizes and geometric specifications to HPQ Silicon Inc., which received positive feedback in January, 2023.

Representatives of each of the different samples from Zone 1 at the Charlevoix Silica Project were also sent to ALS Geochemistry for purity analysis all of which returned results of greater than 98% pure SiO2 with an average of 98.67%. Additionally, the Company announced that it has begun the process of engaging the various stakeholders and applying for the permits required for the 2023 work programs planned for QIMC's silica projects, as well as the geological hydrogen and helium projects.
