Primary Hydrogen Corp. announced the initiation of its Phase 1 exploration program at the Dove Creek project in Colorado, U.S. This program marks a significant step in evaluating the potential for natural H₂ resources in the region, utilizing advanced hyperspectral imaging and AI-driven data analysis to help identify high-priority targets for subsequent field exploration.

“We are excited to launch this exploration program at Dove Creek, a project with significant potential for natural H₂ discovery,” said Benjamin Asuncion, CEO of Primary Hydrogen. “The use of hyperspectral imaging will provide critical insights into the area, allowing us to efficiently target our future exploration efforts. This program underscores our commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to position Primary Hydrogen as a leader in the emerging natural H₂ sector.”

Located in southwestern Colorado near the Colorado-Utah border, the Dove Creek project lies within the Paradox Basin, proximal to the San Juan Basin to the south and the Uinta-Piceance Basin to the north. The project’s prospectivity is driven by the potential for natural H₂ generation through radiolysis of uranium-rich basement rocks. Deep-seated fault systems in the region serve as migration pathways for H₂, which may accumulate in structural or stratigraphic traps. Geophysical data highlight strong gravity anomalies aligned with fault structures and magnetic anomalies tied to deep crustal features. The presence of helium wells in the area further supports active subsurface gas migration, enhancing the project’s H₂ potential.
