QI MATERIALS ANNOUNCES NEWLY DISCOVERED ZONE AT THE CHARLEVOIX SILICA PROJECT
Lachute, Québec, November 15, 2023 – Québec Innovative Materials Corp. (“QI Materials”,
“QIMC”, or the “Company”) (CSE: QIMC ; FSE: 7FJ) is pleased to announce that new zones of
visually pure quartzite have been discovered on the Company’s wholly owned Charlevoix Silica
Project.
In October, the QI Materials field team followed up on the newly discovered high-grade zones 4
and 5 announced in August (see August 29, 2023 news release). As shown on Figure 1, an
additional 6th zone has been confirmed approximately 250 metres southeast of zone 5.
Additional potential outcrops have been located to the east of zone 5. Follow up work will be
required on these areas.
“Another wonderful job by our exploration team. It is encouraging that every time our team
goes out there we add strike length to the quartzite formation and discover new zones.” Stated
Raymond Wladichuk, P.Geo., CEO of QI Materials Corp.

As shown on Figure 2, zones 4 and 5 have been mapped in detail, cleaned off, channel sampled,
and over 120m of strike length is now exposed at surface. The true thickness and width of the
quartzite formation is currently unknown as the contacts are buried beneath overburden,
however we can observe 5-10 metres high quartzite walls in certain areas. As shown below on
Figure 3, the quartzite from zone 6 appears to be visually highly pure. The samples collected this
program have been sent to the lab for purity analysis and the Company eagerly awaits the results.
John Karagiannidis, Chairman of QI Materials commented “Our high-grade Charlevoix project
keeps on getting bigger and we look forward to further expanding the discovery and current
zones. A great job by our team with this new high-grade zone and discovery.”

About High Purity Quartz
High purity quartz (SiO2) plays a pivotal role in two critical technologies shaping the future: solar
panels and lithium silicon anode batteries. In the realm of renewable energy, quartz is the raw
feed source of silicon metal (Si), a fundamental component in producing high -efficiency solar
panels. Beyond solar panels, silicon metal is also a promising ingredient in lithium silicon anode
batteries, offering the potential for increased energy storage capacity and improved battery
performance, underscoring the indispensable role of quartz in advancing sustainable energy and
cutting-edge technology. Furthermore, quartz-derived silicon has gained significant strategic
importance, recently earning a place on the USA's strategic mineral list.
