Vortex Energy Corp. Makes Significant Salt Discovery at Robinsons River Salt Project
Key Ideas
- Vortex Energy Corp. intersected visible salt rock at a depth of 327 meters at the Robinsons River Salt Project, containing 279 meters of drill core with salt rock.
- The Company's work underlines the potential hydrogen storage capacity of the Western Salt Structure and collaboration with the University of Alberta for mineralogical analysis and experiments.
- Detailed wireline geophysics were deployed to gather geological information, and the core samples are being prepared for shipment for further analysis and simulation studies.
- Vortex Energy Corp. CEO expressed optimism about the discovery, highlighting the visual confirmation of salt formations and plans to advance analysis with the University of Alberta.
Vortex Energy Corp. announced a significant discovery at the Robinsons River Salt Project in Newfoundland & Labrador. The Company intersected visible salt rock at 327 meters depth, with 279 meters of drill core containing salt rock retrieved from the third core well. The presence of halite was observed, indicating the potential for hydrogen storage. The Company's previous work estimated the Western Salt Structure could hold 250,000 tonnes of hydrogen in over 25 caverns. Collaboration with the University of Alberta received funding for hydrogen storage trials. Detailed geophysical data collection and core analysis are underway for further research. Vortex Energy Corp.'s CEO expressed enthusiasm about the finding, emphasizing the project's progress and collaboration with experts to advance the analysis of the drill core.
