Québec Innovative Materials Corp. announce that high grade silica purity results of over 99.5% have been proven at the Company's wholly owned River Valley Silica Project. In October 2023, the QI Materials field team collected roughly 75 channel samples from surface exposure.

19 of the samples collected are over 99% pure SiO2, with the highest being 99.52% and, the average across the sample set being 98.72% SiO2. It is expected that a degree of contamination from surface contamination (surface water infiltrating cracks and fractures, oxidation, and surface debris) is likely affecting these results. The River Valley Silica Project consists of a high purity quartz vein.

The quartz vein is directly on surface is mapped to be over 300m long and over 40m wide. The Project is located approximately 65km northeast from Sudbury, Ontario. The samples were sent to ALS Global in Val d'Or, Québec, where they underwent the below analytic procedures.

QI Materials implemented QA/QC measures by means of inserting SiO2 standards, and blanks into the sample stream at industry standard intervals.
