Thor Energy PLC, a dual-listed natural hydrogen, helium, and energy minerals exploration company, has announced its plan to conduct a comprehensive soil air geochemical survey at its HY-Range project in South Australia. The survey, scheduled to begin in early May 2025, aims to assess the potential for natural hydrogen and helium within the licence area, which also has gas storage potential. The deployment of a mobile gas chromatograph during the survey will allow for real-time measurements with high accuracy, improving the exploration process by providing detailed insights into concentrations of gases indicative of deeper accumulations. The survey is designed to establish a regional geochemical baseline and acquire detailed data over specific leads and geological areas of interest. This initiative follows a recent independent geological study and resource evaluation, enhancing Thor Energy's understanding of the project's potential. The company plans to use the survey results to identify high-grade areas, potential gas migration pathways, and leads for further analysis, ultimately refining their exploration strategy and preparing for future drilling activities. Andrew Hume, the Managing Director of Thor Energy, is optimistic about the survey's impact on the exploration programme. He emphasizes the significance of the new data in enhancing the project's foundational understanding, supporting hypotheses on natural hydrogen and helium production, and fine-tuning future exploration activities. Hume also highlights the use of innovative technology, such as the mobile gas chromatograph, as a pioneering approach in Australia for exploring natural hydrogen and helium, providing real-time, laboratory-grade accuracy in the field. This advancement not only ensures measurement confidence but also offers flexibility in adapting sampling strategies based on immediate insights.
