Exploring Natural Hydrogen Potential in Quebec's Angliers-Belleterre Project
Key Ideas
- Alaska Energy Metals plans to conduct a hydrogen soil gas survey in Quebec to investigate the potential for natural hydrogen accumulations, specifically white hydrogen.
- Recent soil gas sample data suggests the potential for hydrogen accumulations within the Lake Timiskaming Basin in the Angliers claim block, intersecting with the Baby Greenstone Belt.
- White hydrogen, a geologically created hydrogen type, is seen as a low-cost, low emission, and renewable clean energy source, aligning with the global interest in natural hydrogen exploration.
- The company also focuses on advancing nickel-copper targets at Angliers while emphasizing the growing importance of natural hydrogen in the future energy landscape.
Alaska Energy Metals, a mining company, has announced plans to conduct a hydrogen soil gas survey over a part of its Angliers-Belleterre project in Quebec, Canada. The Angliers property, covering 24,182 hectares in the Temiscamingue region near the Ontario border, is the target of the investigation to discover natural hydrogen accumulations, specifically white hydrogen. Recent soil gas sample data from adjacent claim owner Quebec Innovative Materials Corporation has highlighted the potential for hydrogen accumulations in the Lake Timiskaming Basin, intersecting with the Baby Greenstone Belt on AEMC’s Angliers claim block. White hydrogen, a naturally occurring type of hydrogen, is gaining attention as a clean and renewable energy source due to its low-cost and low emission characteristics. The company's claims cover source rocks, migration pathways, and potential reservoir rocks that can trap hydrogen gas accumulations. The serpentinization of iron-rich rocks in the Baby Greenstone Belt is believed to contribute to the formation of hydrogen in the basin. The company, in addition to its Quebec project, is also involved in the Nikolai project in Alaska. Alaska Energy Metals sees natural hydrogen as a significant player in the low carbon energy landscape, echoing the global interest in exploring and utilizing this resource for the future energy mix.
