- Primary Hydrogen (OTCQB:HNATF) has started Phase 2 of its field sampling program at Dove Creek, Colorado.
- The program spans 740 acres and will be completed in two weeks, focusing on natural hydrogen potential.
- Advanced sampling methods developed with INRS are being used to minimize artificial hydrogen generation.
Primary Hydrogen Corp. (HNATF, Financial) has commenced the second phase of its field sampling program at the Dove Creek project in Colorado. Conducted by Lonewolf Energy under the supervision of Peter Lauder, VP of Exploration, the program aims to collect soil gas samples across 740 acres within two weeks.
The Dove Creek project, located near the Colorado-Utah border within the Paradox Basin, shows significant promise for natural hydrogen generation. This potential arises from the radiolysis of uranium-rich basement rocks, alongside deep-seated fault systems that serve as migration pathways for hydrogen accumulation. The presence of helium wells in the area further suggests active subsurface gas migration.
The sampling methodology, developed in collaboration with the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS), employs laboratory-verified techniques to ensure minimal artificial hydrogen generation during collection. This approach aims to provide accurate data that will inform subsequent exploration phases, increasing confidence in identifying the source of anomalous hydrogen readings.
Portable gas detectors are utilized to provide real-time, in-field detection of potential subsurface anomalies, aiming to accelerate target definition and advance the resource potential of Dove Creek through focused future exploration.
This exploration program is part of Primary Hydrogen's broader efforts to develop natural hydrogen resources, as the company holds significant acreage across the U.S. and Canada, with additional projects in regions such as British Columbia.
