In Canada, Primary Hydrogen Corp. announced the completion of its Phase 1 field program at the Point Rosie and Mary’s Harbour properties in Newfoundland and Labrador. The soil gas sampling program returned anomalous hydrogen values over targeted fault structures, with peak readings of 531 ppm H2 at Point Rosie and 665 ppm H2 at Mary’s Harbour.
“Natural hydrogen exploration relies on detecting hydrogen gas escaping from subsurface sources. Soil gas sampling measures hydrogen concentrations at the surface, with elevated readings near fault structures potentially indicating migration pathways from deeper generation zones. The results reported herein represent the first systematic hydrogen soil gas survey on these properties,” the firm said.
“Phase 1 exploration at Point Rosie and Mary’s Harbour was completed successfully, with anomalous hydrogen soil gas values corresponding to deep-seated fault structures,” said Peter Lauder, P.Geo., VP Exploration. “These results provide encouraging indicators for hydrogen migration pathways. The Company is currently reviewing all data to determine and plan appropriate follow-up work.”
The firm noted that the multi-phase program encompassed soil and soil gas sampling across 8,550 hectares. Targeted areas included northeast and east-southeast trending faults, and additional soil samples were collected from the sample stations. The outcomes of these programs will guide future exploration initiatives, it added.
