80 Mile PLC (AIM:80M) Natural Hydrogen and Helium Discovered at Hammaslahti
80 Mile PLC (AIM: 80M, OTCQB: BLLYF), the helium-focused successor to BlueJay Mining, announced today the discovery of substantial natural hydrogen and helium concentrations at its Hammaslahti project in Finland.
Surface sampling from two historic drill holes revealed hydrogen levels reaching 1,000 ppm, the maximum detectable by the equipment used, according to the company. Helium was also detected, with concentrations peaking at 8.90% and stabilising at 7.10%.
Highlights:
· Natural Hydrogen Detection: Surface sampling at two historical drill holes has resulted in natural hydrogen concentrations reaching 1000 ppm, representing the upper detection limit of the portable equipment used and indicating the strong potential for higher concentrations. The presence of hydrogen flowing at such concentrations at surface suggests substantial subsurface gas accumulations and highlights the potential for hydrogen resource development in the region.
Helium Measurement: Helium was detected flowing at surface at one historical drill hole, with readings reaching up to 8.90% and stabilising at 7.10%.
First Surface Detection of Natural Hydrogen and Helium: This marks the first documented occurrence of hydrogen and helium detected flowing to the surface in the Hammaslahti area. This detection is a notable advancement, indicating the potential for economically recoverable gas deposits within the area.
· Extensive Historical Dataset: The Company’s Hammaslahti license area contains over 600 historical drill holes, providing a substantial geological dataset enhancing the Company’s ability to efficiently target additional hydrogen and helium prospects. This comprehensive data will support rapid exploration and resource assessment.
Acceleration of Exploration Efforts: The positive results from surface sampling will enable the Company to expedite its exploration activities. These surface readings provide a solid foundation for continued evaluation of the Hammaslahti project’s potential as an industrial gas resource.
The discovery marks the first recorded instance of natural hydrogen and helium being detected at surface level in the Hammaslahti area, 80 Mile noted. The company stated that surface hydrogen presence indicates the potential for significant subsurface gas deposits, while the detection of helium underscores the region’s industrial gas potential.
Following these findings, 80 Mile plans to accelerate its exploration activities, prioritizing the evaluation of Hammaslahti’s potential as a valuable industrial gas resource.
“The detection of hydrogen and helium at Hammaslahti is a significant milestone for 80 Mile, highlighting the exceptional potential of this region for industrial gas resources,” said managing director Eric Sondergaard in a statement. “Hydrogen plays a crucial role in the global transition to cleaner energy, and the presence of helium—an increasingly vital resource for advanced technologies—adds strategic value to this project.”
