Granite Creek Collaborates with New England Research on Geologic Hydrogen
Granite Creek Copper (TSXV:GCX)(OTCQB:GCXXF) has completed work at its Star project in British Columbia, Canada, focusing on rock and soil sampling in an area prospective for Ni-Cu-PGM mineralization. The company is collaborating with New England Research Inc. (NER) to study the potential for geologic hydrogen (Geo H2) production at the site.
NER is leading a $1.5 million project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy to develop technologies for subsurface hydrogen production. Granite Creek's samples will be used for laboratory analysis to optimize engineered stimulation of subsurface hydrogen. This collaboration aims to explore the potential of Alaskan-type ultramafic intrusions for producing economic amounts of clean, sustainable hydrogen.
While pursuing this new opportunity in Geo H2, Granite Creek remains focused on its high-grade Carmacks copper-gold project in Yukon, Canada, where assays from 2024 drilling are pending.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 16, 2024 / Granite Creek Copper Ltd. (TSXV:GCX)(OTCQB:GCXXF) ("Granite Creek" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the of the completion of work at the Company's copper-nickel-PGM Star project, located in the Polaris ultramafic complex of north-central British Columbia, Canada. The program consisted of rock and soil sampling focused on an area of the project underlain by dunite ultramafic rock that is prospective for Ni-Cu-PGM mineralization. In addition to sending samples to the laboratory for Ni-Cu-PGM analysis, Granite Creek is also providing samples of various rock types to New England Research Inc. (NER) to study the potential for geologic hydrogen (Geo H2) production at Star.
NER is a Vermont-based research and development company leading a recently funded
The NER team, which also includes scientists from Missouri University of Science and Technology (MS&T) and engineers from OptiRock Group LLC., will develop state-of-the-art testing protocols and fit-for-purpose modeling techniques to identify and assess sites where geologic hydrogen could be stimulated. The technologies will be commercialized through a series of paths, including measurement equipment, measurement and modeling services, characterization workflows, and solicitation of Phase III funding for field demonstration and deployment.
Dr. Gregory Boitnott, Vice President of Technology at NER and Principal Investigator on the project stated, "Inclusion of the samples provided by Granite Creek provides a unique opportunity to apply our developing technologies to Alaskan-type ultramafic intrusions, a potentially important future class of deposits where it may be possible to produce economic amounts of clean sustainable hydrogen."
Tim Johnson, President and CEO of Granite Creek stated, "Geologic hydrogen is an exciting new field with the potential to significantly lower the cost of hydrogen production and assist in de-carbonization of some hard-to-mitigate industries. We are fortunate that our Star project has potentially the right geological setting for this groundbreaking technology and look forward to receiving the results of the testing. The Company remains focused on our high-grade Carmacks copper-gold project in Yukon, Canada, where assays from 2024 drilling are pending while also investigating additional opportunities in Geo H2."
