Vortex Energy Corp. in Vancouver, Canada, has provided an update on its collaboration with the University of Alberta to explore the hydrogen storage potential at the Robinsons River Salt Project. The research involves assessing the salt complex's suitability for underground hydrogen storage through mineralogical and petrological studies. Key findings from core hole VTX-23-W-1 were presented at GeoConvention in Calgary, emphasizing the importance of factors like halite purity, impurity fractions, and sealing properties for hydrogen storage evaluations. The University of Alberta researchers are currently analyzing core samples from VTX-23-W-2, conducting X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis, porosity, and permeability testing, along with geomechanical studies using CT-scanned samples. Vortex Energy's CEO, Paul Sparkes, expressed enthusiasm about the project's progress and the valuable insights gained through the partnership, highlighting the significance of these studies for assessing the hydrogen storage potential. Furthermore, Vortex Energy has updated its survey station map for the Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey at the Robinsons River Salt Project, awaiting approval from the Newfoundland and Labrador Mineral Lands Division. The company's commitment to responsible exploration and evaluation, led by VP of Exploration Jared Suchan, aims to advance the project for large-scale energy storage potential. The collaboration and ongoing technical investigations signify a positive outlook on utilizing the Robinsons River Salt Project for hydrogen storage, showcasing a dedicated effort to unlock its energy storage capabilities.
