Primary Hydrogen begins phase 2 exploration at Hopkins

Executive Summary

• Primary Hydrogen Corp. has launched Phase 2 field exploration at the Hopkins project in Ontario.
• The program involves ~265 soil and soil‑gas samples targeting natural hydrogen and rare earth element (REE) mineralization.
• Results are expected within roughly six weeks after fieldwork completion (1–2 weeks).

Key Details

• Exploration partner: Norda Stelo contracted to conduct the sampling program.
• Sample count: Approximately 265 soil and soil‑gas samples.
• Targets: Natural hydrogen occurrences and potential REE mineralization along the Clay‑Howells alkali carbonatite intrusive, known for hosting REE, thorium, and iron.
• Timeline: Fieldwork to be completed in 1–2 weeks; analytical results anticipated ~6 weeks thereafter.
• Quote: “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.

Notable Quotes

• Peter Lauder, Vice‑President, Exploration: “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.”
