ELEMENT ONE DEVELOPS NEW NUMERIC PROSPECTIVITY MODEL FOR GEOLOGIC HYDROGEN EXPLORATION

Element One Hydrogen & Critical Minerals Corp. has developed a new proprietary numeric model designed to enhance the identification and targeting of geologic hydrogen accumulations.

The model, developed by Dr. Allegra Hosford Scheirer, is grounded in an extensive understanding of the natural processes governing hydrogen generation, migration and trapping in the subsurface. It represents a significant advancement in the company's technical capabilities as it expands its exploration footprint across Canada and the United States.

The prospectivity model integrates multiple geophysical and geological data sets, including gravity and magnetic surveys, alongside detailed structural geology interpretations. By quantitatively weighting these inputs, the model identifies geological environments most conducive to hydrogen generation and accumulation. This approach enables the company to systematically rank and prioritize target areas with elevated hydrogen potential.

"Dr. Hosford Scheirer's work provides a robust and scalable framework for understanding where geologic hydrogen systems are most likely to occur," said Brad Kitchen, chief executive officer of Element One. "Allegra combines deep scientific insight with advanced data integration to create this model that has positioned Element One at the forefront of hydrogen exploration."

What this means for investors

Element One is currently using the model to refine its hydrogen accumulation acquisition strategy. The company is specifically focusing on identifying and securing prospective land positions in key jurisdictions throughout the United States and Western Canada, with the intention of securing three to four land packages. Once secured, ground exploration will commence with the intention of developing and executing a drilling program. This data-driven approach is expected to improve exploration efficiency, reduce risk and accelerate the advancement of high-quality hydrogen opportunities.
