- Primary Hydrogen Corp (OTCQB:HNATF) initiates exploration program for Wicheeda North project in British Columbia.
- Focus on natural hydrogen potential and rare earth element (REE) mineralization.
- Strategically located within 5 km of Defense Metals' Wicheeda Rare Earths Project.
Primary Hydrogen Corp (OTCQB:HNATF) has announced the initiation of an exploration program for its Wicheeda North project situated in British Columbia. The exploration will primarily target the potential for natural hydrogen and significant rare earth element (REE) mineralization across the 2,138-hectare project.
The program will employ soil and soil-gas sampling techniques, along with comprehensive property-wide geophysics. This initiative aims to extend soil sampling in pre-identified target zones and conduct airborne electromagnetic (EM) surveys over previously unexplored southern sections of the property.
Located fewer than 5 kilometers from the Defense Metals Corp's Wicheeda Rare Earths Project, which boasts a substantial NI 43-101 compliant resource of 29.3 million tonnes at 2.27% total rare earth oxide (TREO) classified as Measured and Indicated, and 5.7 million tonnes at 1.4% TREO as Inferred, the Wicheeda North project is strategically placed in a favorable geological belt known for REE mineralization.
Historical studies have indicated seven promising targets within the project area, with Grid A and Grid D identified as particularly prospective due to anomalous REE values. These areas will be the focus of immediate follow-up exploration efforts to better delineate potential REE mineralization.
Peter Lauder, P.Geo. (ON, QC, NFLD), who serves as VP Exploration at Primary Hydrogen Corp, is overseeing the technical aspects of the exploration under National Instrument 43-101 regulations.
