QIMC = DroneShield in December 2024

Has QIMC Bottomed? A DroneShield-Style Setup in Natural Hydrogen

NIA predicted at the end of 2025 that natural hydrogen would become the #1 biggest new boom industry of 2026.

NIA suggested natural hydrogen first mover QI Materials (CSE: QIMC) on November 4th at $0.385 per share… only one week after our October 28th suggestion of NevGold (TSXV: NAU) at $0.56 per share… because shares of Max Power Mining (CSE: MAXX), the only major publicly traded natural hydrogen competitor to QIMC, had gained 151.43% over the prior eight trading days to $1 per share. QIMC appeared to be a steal in comparison at $0.385 per share (a QIMC/MAXX ratio of 0.385).

We were right: QIMC rose 515.58% in a little over four months to a March 10th all-time high of $2.37 per share. On March 11th, QIMC closed at $2.24 vs. MAXX at $1.25 (a QIMC/MAXX ratio of 1.79).

QIMC made a healthy pullback to $1.06 per share on April 13th, but on April 14th it announced a $15 million LIFE offering priced at $0.90 per share, closing the funding on April 27th and raising a total of $17,250,345 at $0.90 per share. This destroyed the stock's momentum, and it has since drifted down to a closing price last week of $0.59 per share.

QIMC today at $0.59 reminds us of our December 29th, 2024 alert titled "DroneShield (ASX: DRO) Has Bottomed, OSS Chart Setup Perfectly" when we predicted the bottom was likely in on DroneShield (ASX: DRO) at $0.75 per share (click here to read NIA's December 2024 DroneShield alert). DRO had previously climbed from our suggestion price of $0.20 up to a high of $2.72, but after multiple financings violently corrected to a December 2024 low of $0.60. We knew it was a once-in-a-lifetime entry point and we ask: what if QIMC has bottomed here too?

Our call on DroneShield was perfect, with it rising from $0.75 on December 29th, 2024, to a new all-time high of $6.71 per share within ten months.

The only major publicly traded competitor to QIMC, Max Power Mining (CSE: MAXX), has been one of the market's best performing stocks in recent weeks after receiving a $25 million investment from Eric Sprott.
