Primary Hydrogen Corp. has staked the Seagull North Project in northwestern Ontario, securing 313 contiguous single-cell mining claims covering approximately 65 square kilometres in the Thunder Bay Mining District.

The newly acquired ground adjoins the northern boundary of the Seagull property, where a joint venture between Rift Minerals Inc. and Anteros Metals Inc. is conducting deep drilling targeting natural hydrogen and helium alongside platinum group element mineralization. Drilling on the adjoining property has returned hydrogen-bearing gas results at depth, including a rush sample that assayed 0.65% (6,500 ppm) hydrogen.

The Seagull intrusion is a roughly 10-kilometre-diameter mafic-to-ultramafic body — a rock type associated with generating natural hydrogen through serpentinization — with more than 20,000 metres of historical drilling reported by adjoining operators.

"The Seagull intrusion, a ten-kilometer ultramafic body, is a rock type which generates natural hydrogen through water-rock reactions, and recent drilling on the adjoining property has reported hydrogen-bearing gas from two holes, with the deeper geophysical target only just being reached," said David Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of Primary Hydrogen. "We took the open ground along the northern boundary in one contiguous block. When a system starts returning gas at depth, you want the ground beside it - and now we have it." — David Jackson, Chief Executive Officer

Primary Hydrogen's initial work program will comprise compiling historical drilling, geophysical, and government geoscience data and conducting structural interpretation at the Seagull North Project, to be followed by a ground program.
