Primary Hydrogen Commences Phase 2 Field Exploration at Hopkins Project
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.
Primary Hydrogen (OTCQB:HNATF) ha avviato la Fase 2 dell'esplorazione sul campo presso il progetto Hopkins in Ontario. L'azienda collabora con Norda Stelo per un programma di campionamenti approfondito che prevede 265 campioni di suolo e di gas del suolo.
L'attività esplorativa ha un doppio obiettivo: valutare il potenziale dell'idrogeno naturale e la mineralizzazione di terre rare (REE). Il programma si concentra in particolare sull'intrusione carbonatitica alcalina Clay-Howells, nota per ospitare depositi di terre rare, torio e ferro. I lavori sul campo dovrebbero concludersi entro 1-2 settimane, mentre i risultati analitici sono attesi circa sei settimane dopo la fine delle operazioni.

Primary Hydrogen (OTCQB:HNATF)가 온타리오에 있는 Hopkins 프로젝트에서 2단계 현장 탐사를 시작했습니다. 회사는 Norda Stelo와 협력하여 토양 및 토양가스 265개 샘플을 포함하는 광범위한 시료 채취 프로그램을 진행합니다.
이번 탐사 캠페인은 천연 수소 잠재력과 희토류 원소(REE) 광상 두 가지를 동시에 조사하는 데 중점을 둡니다. 프로그램은 희토류, 토륨 및 철 광상을 보유한 것으로 알려진 Clay-Howells 알칼리 탄산암 관입체를 특히 대상으로 합니다. 현장 작업은 1~2주 내에 마무리될 예정이며, 분석 결과는 작업 완료 후 약 6주 후에 나올 것으로 예상됩니다.

La campagne d'exploration vise deux objectifs : étudier le potentiel d'hydrogène naturel et la minéralisation en terres rares (REE). Le programme cible spécifiquement l'intrusion carbonatite alcaline Clay-Howells, connue pour héberger des gisements de terres rares, de thorium et de fer. Les travaux de terrain devraient s'achever sous 1 à 2 semaines, et les résultats analytiques sont attendus environ six semaines après la fin des opérations.
Primary Hydrogen (OTCQB:HNATF) hat die Phase-2-Feldauswertung seines Hopkins-Projekts in Ontario begonnen. Das Unternehmen arbeitet mit Norda Stelo zusammen, um ein umfangreiches Probenprogramm mit 265 Boden- und Bodenluftproben durchzuführen.
Die Explorationskampagne verfolgt zwei Ziele: das Potenzial für natürliches Wasserstoffvorkommen und die Mineralisierung von Seltenen Erden (REE) zu untersuchen. Das Programm richtet sich gezielt auf die Clay-Howells-Alkalicarbonatit-Intrusion, die für Vorkommen von REE, Thorium und Eisen bekannt ist. Die Feldarbeiten sollen in 1–2 Wochen abgeschlossen sein, die analytischen Ergebnisse werden etwa sechs Wochen nach Abschluss erwartet.
- Expansion of previous soil gas sampling program with 265 new samples
- Dual exploration focus on both natural hydrogen and rare earth elements
- Strategic location near known REE, thorium, and iron mineralization
- Results from analysis will take approximately 6 weeks to receive
- Early-stage exploration with no guaranteed outcomes
CALGARY, AB / ACCESS Newswire / September 2, 2025 / Primary Hydrogen Corp. (TSXV:HDRO)(FRA:83W0)(OTCQB:HNATF) ("Primary" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of Phase 2 field exploration at its Hopkins Project in Ontario. The Company has engaged Norda Stelo to conduct a focused sampling program comprising approximately 265 soil and soil-gas samples targeting both natural hydrogen and potential rare earth element (REE) mineralization.
The fieldwork is expected to be completed within one to two weeks, with analytical results from gas readings and chemical assays anticipated approximately six weeks thereafter.
"This marks our second exploration campaign at Hopkins and is designed to advance our understanding of both natural hydrogen potential and REE prospectivity," said Peter Lauder, VP Exploration at Primary Hydrogen. "In addition to expanding our earlier soil gas sampling program, this phase will assess the rare earth potential along the Clay-Howells alkali carbonatite intrusive, which is known to host REE, thorium, and iron mineralization[1]."
