Primary Hydrogen Outlines Exploration Thesis for Dove Creek Project
CALGARY, AB / ACCESS Newswire / March 25, 2025 / Primary Hydrogen Corp. (TSXV:HDRO)(FRA:83W0)(OTCQB:HNATF) (the “Company” or “Primary”), a leader in natural hydrogen exploration, is pleased to provide an overview of its Dove Creek project in Colorado, USA, and outline the upcoming exploration program designed to validate and advance this opportunity. The Company is systematically compiling available datasets, including historical reports, in preparation for an extensive field exploration program.
The following highlights the geological prospectivity of the Dove Creek project from a natural hydrogen perspective. The exploration program is designed to assess both the presence of hydrogen and the key geological characteristics necessary for significant accumulation and concentration.
Key Factors Supporting Hydrogen Potential at Dove Creek:
- Proven Hydrogen Generation Mechanisms: The presence of uranium-rich basement rocks supports potential hydrogen and helium generation via radiolysis, with historical exploration confirming anomalous concentrations of both gases in the region.
- Potential for Serpentinization: Regional magnetic and gravimetric anomalies suggest the presence of ultramafic rocks at depth, which could generate hydrogen through serpentinization.
- Extensive Migration Pathways: Significant structural geologic complexity, including regional-scale northwest-southeast trending faults, synclines, and anticlines, provides potential migration routes for hydrogen from deep-seated sources.
- Strong Seal and Trapping Potential: The Paradox Basin’s thick evaporite layers, particularly salt deposits, create a substantial cap rock that, together with porous and permeable reservoir units, could facilitate hydrogen accumulation and seal.
Benjamin Asuncion, CEO of Primary Hydrogen Corp, commented:
We are excited to advance our Dove Creek project as part of our broader strategy to establish Primary Hydrogen as a leader in natural hydrogen exploration,
“The presence of key geological indicators-validated by the 2025 USGS hydrogen prospectivity report-reinforces the potential for a significant hydrogen system. We look forward to executing our exploration program and further unlocking value in this emerging energy sector.”
Dove Creek Project, Colorado
The property is located within the Paradox oil and gas basin near the western border of Colorado, approximately 32 miles (50 km) north of Dove Creek and 19 miles (27 km) west of Naturita (c.f. Figure 1). The project benefits from well-developed infrastructure, including extensive road networks and proximity to populated centers, ensuring year-round accessibility.
