Granite Creek Copper Explores Geo H2 Potential at Star Project in British Columbia
Key Ideas
  • Granite Creek conducted rock and soil sampling at the Star project in British Columbia to explore potential Ni-Cu-PGM mineralization.
  • Samples were provided to NER for analysis in the study of geologic hydrogen (Geo H2) production, aiming to unlock clean energy resources.
  • The research project involves collaboration with NER, MS&T, and OptiRock Group to develop testing protocols for subsurface hydrogen production.
  • The company remains focused on its Carmacks copper-gold project in Yukon while investigating opportunities in geologic hydrogen technology.
Granite Creek Copper Ltd. has completed work at its Star project in British Columbia, focusing on the exploration of Ni-Cu-PGM mineralization. Samples from the project were sent for analysis to New England Research Inc. as part of a study on geologic hydrogen (Geo H2) production. This research is supported by a $1.5 million project under the U.S. Department of Energy's Geologic Hydrogen program. The collaboration aims to develop technologies for subsurface hydrogen production, potentially revolutionizing clean energy generation. The project involves the use of state-of-the-art testing protocols and modeling techniques to identify sites suitable for geologic hydrogen stimulation. Dr. Gregory Boitnott from NER highlighted the significance of applying these technologies to ultramafic intrusions for sustainable hydrogen production. Granite Creek's President, Tim Johnson, expressed enthusiasm about the potential of geologic hydrogen to reduce production costs and aid in decarbonization efforts. The company's focus remains on the Carmacks copper-gold project in Yukon, with ongoing assays, while also exploring opportunities in geologic hydrogen. This initiative signifies a step towards sustainable and innovative energy solutions in the mining sector.
