CALGARY, AB / ACCESS Newswire / July 30, 2025 / Primary Hydrogen Corp. (TSXV:HDRO)(FRA:83W0)(OTCQB:HNATF) ("Primary" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the exploration program at the Wicheeda North Project (the "Project") in British Columbia. The current field program comprises soil and soil-gas sampling, alongside a property-wide geophysical surveying campaign. Field crews are mobilizing to commence on-site sampling, with geophysical surveys to follow.
The Company has also submitted a Notice of Work to the Government of British Columbia for a multi-year exploration program including drilling, trenching, and associated access work. The application permits up to 70 drill pads, 2,000 metres of trenching, and necessary site preparation to support ongoing exploration activities.
"We are excited to rapidly advance our exploration efforts at Wicheeda North with the launch of fieldwork in the coming days," said Benjamin Asuncion, CEO of Primary Hydrogen Corp. "We have also initiated the permitting process, which lays the groundwork for an aggressive drill campaign upon approval. Given the Project's proximity to a more advanced-stage rare earth project and the growing strategic interest in rare earth elements, we believe Wicheeda North represents a compelling opportunity."
Summer Exploration Program
The 2025 exploration program (the "Program") is focused on evaluating both the natural hydrogen potential and rare earth element (REE) prospectivity of the Project. Phase one includes soil and soil-gas sampling, along with property-wide geophysical surveying that builds upon earlier exploration work.
The Program will extend soil sampling across key target zones identified through historical magnetic and geochemical anomalies. In addition, an airborne electromagnetic (EM) survey will be flown over the southern portion of the property - an area not previously covered - which overlaps with historical prospecting targets and may represent a logical zone for future expansion.
Wicheeda North is situated within a geological belt known to host carbonatite-related REE mineralization, such as the Main Zone of the adjacent Wicheeda Rare Earths Project located approximately 5 km to the southeast. The Wicheeda Rare Earths Project, owned by Defense Metals Corp., adjoins Wicheeda North to the southwest and is host to a NI 43-101 compliant measured and indicated resource [1] of 29.3 Mt grading
The Wicheeda North Project consists of nine contiguous mineral claims covering approximately 2,138 hectares (21.1 km²) within the northern Cariboo Mining Division. The Project lies within the Rocky Mountain Trench, a regional structural corridor recognized for hosting carbonatite intrusions. Historical work has outlined seven geophysical and geochemical targets defined by sub-circular to elliptical magnetic anomalies and elevated rare earth element concentrations in soil and rock samples, where available.
Two key targets [2], Grid A and Grid D, were highlighted using the 99th percentile of REE concentrations and are interpreted to reflect potential REE sources. These areas will be the initial focus of expanded soil sampling and geochemical analysis to better delineate mineralized trends. Concurrent geophysical surveys will extend coverage into the southwestern portion of the Project area.
