EONE · Price

Executive Summary

  • Element One completed its 2025 field program on the HY Project, confirming the presence of nickel‑bearing ultramafic lithologies.
  • Assays from nine rock samples show elevated nickel (up to 2,305 ppm) with low sulfur and iron contents ranging from ~4–6 %.
  • The company will continue sampling, petrographic analysis, and geophysical work while supporting research into hydrogen generation and nickel‑silicate extraction.

Key Details

  • Project Scope: 9 contiguous mineral claims covering 2,757.6 ha, located 15‑20 km from Fort St. James, BC.
  • Field Work: Two‑day prospecting, rock‑sampling, and soil‑sampling program targeting the Trembleur ultramafic complex.
  • Assay Results (ppm Ni / % Fe / % Mg / % S):
  • TJHY 2501 – 2,305 Ni, 5.49 Fe, 23.82 Mg, <DL S
  • TJHY 2502 – 37 Ni, 6.59 Fe, 3.61 Mg, 0.20 S
  • TJHY 2503 – 2,254 Ni, 5.71 Fe, 22.99 Mg, <DL S
  • TJHY 2504 – 2,204 Ni, 5.33 Fe, 22.19 Mg, <DL S
  • TJHY 2505 – 2,002 Ni, 5.06 Fe, 22.29 Mg, <DL S
  • TJHY 2506 – 1,793 Ni, 4.22 Fe, 13.87 Mg, <DL S
  • TJHY 2507 – 2,260 Ni, 5.34 Fe, 22.63 Mg, <DL S
  • Laboratory: Samples assayed at Bureau Veritas (Vancouver) using a 35‑element ICP‑ES process.
  • Research Partnerships:
  • Split samples sent to Kemetco Research for NRCan‑funded nickel extraction study.
  • Additional splits provided to Dr. Greeshma Gadikota for hydrogen‑generation research.
  • Future Work Priorities:
  • Further sampling of ultramafic units for Ni and Fe content.
  • Petrographic & microprobe analyses to determine olivine composition (forsterite/fayalite ratios).
  • 2D magnetic inversion geophysical modeling of the Trembleur intrusion geometry/volume.
  • Ongoing collaboration with partners on hydrogen‑stimulation and nickel‑silicate extraction technologies.
  • Qualified Person: Jeremy Hanson, P.Geo., independent geologist (NI 43‑101).

Notable Quotes

“The HY Property remains a promising candidate for further evaluation due to its excellent proximity to potential hydrogen end‑users,” – Brad Kitchen, CEO.
