Vortex Energy Corp. has announced the commencement of the second phase of drilling at the Robinsons River Salt Project near Stephenville, Newfoundland & Labrador. The drilling, carried out by Forage FTE Drilling and Major Drilling, aims to confirm the depth of salt structures and assess the geological and geochemical properties of the salt and non-salt rocks, with a focus on potential hydrogen storage. The Company will collaborate with the University of Alberta for hydrogen testing, following a $1.2 million funding from Alberta Innovates. The CEO, Paul Sparkes, is optimistic about the drill program's success and the exploration outcomes, emphasizing the comprehensive design of the third well. Vortex Energy Corp. is actively evaluating technologies for efficient hydrogen and energy storage in salt caverns, with projects in both Newfoundland & Labrador and northern Saskatchewan, Canada.
