Primary Hydrogen Corp (TSXV: HDRO, OTCQB: HNATF, FSE: 83W) appointed David Jackson as President and Chief Executive Officer, effective July 20, 2026, succeeding Benjamin Asuncion, who will remain as a director.
According to Primary Hydrogen, Jackson is a serial entrepreneur with experience in property development and healthcare technology, most recently leading a veterinary technology manufacturing firm with sales in 56 countries and overseeing its acquisition by a global healthcare technology company in 2024. In connection with his appointment, the Company granted him 235,000 stock options at an exercise price of $1.16 per share, exercisable for five years and vesting in full four months and one day after the grant date, subject to TSX Venture Exchange policies and a four‑month hold period on the underlying shares.
Primary Hydrogen focuses on exploration and development of natural hydrogen resources across over 740 acres in the U.S. and 230 square kilometers in Canada, including multiple named projects and an option to acquire a 75% interest in the Wicheeda North hydrogen-REE project in British Columbia.
Primary Hydrogen (OTCQB:HNATF, TSXV:HDRO) granted an aggregate of 360,000 incentive stock options to certain directors and officers under its equity incentive compensation plan. Each option allows purchase of one common share at $0.76, vests immediately on the grant date, and is exercisable for five years. The options and underlying shares are subject to a four-month and one day hold period under TSX Venture Exchange policies and applicable securities laws.
Primary Hydrogen (OTCQB: HNATF) provided a permitting update for its Wicheeda North REE project and announced a corporate change on December 18, 2025.
The company submitted a Notice of Work on August 1, 2025; consultation with First Nations is ongoing and, given ministry timelines and backlogs, Primary Hydrogen anticipates permitting completion in early Q1 2026. Once approvals are received, the company intends to engage drilling contractors to carry out a maiden drill program at Wicheeda North. The release also notes the departure of Peter Lauder, VP Exploration, and that planning and execution of the upcoming drill program will use internal staff and qualified third-party contractors.
Primary Hydrogen (OTCQB:HNATF) completed Phase 1 soil gas sampling at its Point Rosie and Mary's Harbour properties in Newfoundland and Labrador on November 26, 2025. The survey across 8,550 hectares returned anomalous hydrogen soil gas peaks of 531 ppm H2 at Point Rosie and 665 ppm H2 at Mary's Harbour.
Sampling targeted fault corridors (78 stations at Point Rosie; 33 at Mary's Harbour) using ATO GasDog detectors. Soil geochemistry (49 samples) showed no conclusive elemental correlation. The company will review data and plan follow-up verification work, including infill surveys and additional detectors.
Primary Hydrogen (OTCQB:HNATF) reported soil gas and soil geochemistry results from its British Columbia BC H2 Projects on Nov 24, 2025. The Crooked Amphibolite property returned an approximately 8-kilometre linear trend of elevated hydrogen with values up to 180 ppm, interpreted to align with fault structures and possible serpentinization at depth. The Coquihalla property produced a HREE soil anomaly of 170 ppm TREO coincident with a magnetic high. The program covered 3,346 acres with 41 soil samples and used INRS-validated methods to minimize artificially generated hydrogen. Company notes further sampling is required to refine targets and validate interpretations.
Primary Hydrogen (OTCQB:HNATF) reported Phase 2 exploration results from Hopkins and Blakelock, Northern Ontario, on November 12, 2025. The program covered 9,127 hectares and identified multiple hydrogen soil‑gas anomalies.
Key findings include a Hopkins peak of 245 ppm H₂ with a concentric anomaly pattern and a transient ambient air spike of 190 ppm H₂, plus a Blakelock 800‑metre corridor averaging 52 ppm H₂ (peak 77 ppm) aligned with a Matachewan mafic dyke. REE soil sampling returned no anomalous concentrations so far; six Hopkins samples remain pending. Work was conducted with INRS and measured with portable detectors; follow‑up surveys and expanded grids are planned.
Primary Hydrogen (OTCQB:HNATF) completed a 401 line-km airborne VTEM and magnetic survey and 2025 soil sampling at the Wicheeda North REE Project in British Columbia.
The company collected 533 new soil samples (total property-wide samples now 1,234), identified two high‑priority REE anomaly clusters (top 5%) in Grid A‑South and Grid D‑South, and applied for drilling and trenching permits with approval anticipated in Q1 2026. Grid A‑South may link to Target 4 from the 2023 NI 43‑101 report; Grid D‑South is a newly identified zone. Company noted REE levels are lower than the nearby Wicheeda deposit and flagged possible river sediment influence on some samples.
Primary Hydrogen (OTCQB:HNATF) has announced the results of its Annual General Meeting held on September 22, 2025. Shareholders demonstrated strong support for all proposed items, with all three director nominees - Benjamin Asuncion, William Timothy Heenan, and Martin Kowcun - receiving over 99.9% approval.
The meeting also saw shareholders approve the appointment of DMCL Chartered Professional Accountants as auditors, maintaining the board size at three directors, and adopting a new 10% rolling omnibus equity incentive plan.
Primary Hydrogen (OTCQB:HNATF) has initiated Phase 2 field exploration at its Hopkins Project in Ontario. The company has partnered with Norda Stelo to conduct an extensive sampling program that includes 265 soil and soil-gas samples.
The exploration campaign has a dual focus: investigating natural hydrogen potential and rare earth element (REE) mineralization. The program specifically targets the Clay-Howells alkali carbonatite intrusive, known for hosting REE, thorium, and iron deposits. Field work is expected to conclude in 1-2 weeks, with analytical results anticipated approximately six weeks after completion.
