QIMC Surges as Bezos/Gates-Backed Koloma Moves In
QIMC gained strongly today as two major developments hit at once: confirmation that Koloma—the natural hydrogen firm backed by Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates— is the group staking thousands of claims beside QIMC in Nova Scotia, and fresh news that QIMC’s U.S. SPV Orvian has been awarded two RGRAs in Minnesota. Momentum is rapidly building.
QIMC Surges 12.09% Today as Bezos/Gates-Backed Koloma Moves In and Minnesota Permits Confirmed
Québec Innovative Materials Corp. (CSE: QIMC) gained 12.09% today to close at $0.51 per share on rising volume of 1.51 million shares. A surge in investor recognition coincided with major validation from the most well-funded firm in the natural hydrogen sector.
1. Koloma — Backed by Bezos & Gates — Confirmed as the Firm Staking Beside QIMC
Earlier today, QIMC’s CEO confirmed to NIA that the massive staking rush surrounding QIMC’s dominant land position in Nova Scotia is being driven by Koloma Inc., the highest-funded natural hydrogen startup in North America—backed by Bill Gates (Breakthrough Energy Ventures), Jeff Bezos, Mitsubishi, and major institutional clean-energy investors.
Shortly after the call, the CEO texted us a breaking article from allNovaScotia confirming this development publicly.
The article states that “Koloma has moved quickly to amass significant exploration acreage in Cumberland County” and has staked thousands of claims directly beside QIMC, which the publication recognized as the province’s first natural hydrogen explorer.
This is the strongest independent validation yet of QIMC’s early geoscience model and its first-mover advantage in North America’s most promising emerging natural hydrogen corridor.
2. QIMC’s U.S. SPV Orvian Awarded Two RGRAs in Minnesota
Adding to today’s momentum, QIMC announced that its U.S. SPV Orvian Resources I LLC, in partnership with Black Tree Energy Group, has been awarded two RGRAs by the State of Minnesota.
These new permits place QIMC directly within the emerging U.S. Mesabi natural hydrogen trend and signal expanding recognition of QIMC’s technical leadership in the sector.
3. Market Reaction Signals Early-Stage Re-Rating
With the Reuters Energy Transition Conference approaching, QIMC enters a potentially transformative period with multiple high-impact catalysts now aligned at once.
