Protium Clean Energy Corp.: Unveiling Hydrogen Potential with Satellite Gas Surveys

Protium Clean Energy Corp. (CSE: GRUV) (FSE: G071) has recently announced the successful preliminary results of its satellite gas surveys over its Temiskaming Claim block and the surrounding 11,000 sq km area centered on Lake Temiskaming and the Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. ("QIMC") hydrogen showings. These results not only confirm the company's strategic approach but also highlight the significant potential for natural hydrogen accumulation in the region.

The survey results identified anomalous targets on Protium's current property, similar to recent known discoveries in the area, and defined a predictive model, providing a deeper understanding of the geology. Additionally, the company has identified further geological areas of interest, which could lead to the discovery of new hydrogen targets and reserves.

One of the key findings from the survey is the potential for hydrogen accumulation in graben structures. Grabens, elongated depressions bounded by parallel faults, offer favorable conditions for natural hydrogen formation and accumulation. The Lake Timiskaming area's geology is particularly conducive to natural hydrogen formation, featuring deep-rooted fault systems, sedimentary layers, and structural traps. These features create an ideal environment for hydrogen accumulation, similar to those found in known hydrogen deposits worldwide.

The survey also detected other four gases (helium, radon, methane, and carbon dioxide) in the area, further supporting the prospectivity of this target area. The April helium gas results showed very high helium abundances in Lake Temiskaming and 122 other lakes, representing less than 7% of lakes in the 11,000 sq. km area studied. Helium is often found in conjunction with hydrogen due to shared migration pathways, enhancing the prospectivity of this target area.

Protium's recent acquisition of 31 new claims covering approximately 620 hectares in Ontario, Canada, strategically located near the Lake Timiskaming Structural Zone, further strengthens its competitive position in the hydrogen exploration sector. This move aligns with the company's strategy to become the largest landholder of hydrogen prospective targets in Canada using advanced satellite surveys. By expanding its holdings, Protium gains access to additional areas with favorable geological conditions for hydrogen accumulation, increasing the likelihood of discovering new hydrogen targets and reserves.

However, there are potential risks and challenges associated with this expansion, such as exploration costs, regulatory and environmental risks, market conditions and demand, and technological advancements. Protium must effectively manage these risks and challenges to fully realize the potential rewards of this expansion.

In conclusion, Protium Clean Energy Corp.'s satellite gas surveys have confirmed the company's strategic approach and highlighted the significant potential for natural hydrogen accumulation in the Lake Timiskaming area. The company's recent acquisition of new claims near the Lake Timiskaming Structural Zone further strengthens its competitive position in the hydrogen exploration sector. By successfully navigating the associated risks and challenges, Protium can secure a strong foothold in the hydrogen exploration sector and capitalize on any discoveries it makes in the region.
