[{"type":"text","content":"Primary Hydrogen Commences Geophysical Survey at Wicheeda North Ree ProjectCALGARY, AB / ACCESS Newswire / August 20, 2025 / Primary Hydrogen Corp. (TSXV:HDRO)(FRA:83W0)(OTCQB:HNATF) (\"Primary\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the commencement of a geophysical survey at its Wicheeda North Rare Earth Element (REE) Project (the \"Project\") in British Columbia.The Company has engaged Geotech Ltd. to conduct an infill airborne Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) and magnetic survey, totaling approximately 401 line-kilometres, completing coverage of the property and covering 25 square kilometres. The survey data will be integrated with historical geophysical information to generate a comprehensive property-wide interpretation. The focus of the program is to refine previously defined targets and soil anomalies, and to identify additional targets to guide future trenching and drill planning. A Notice of Work for a multi-year exploration trenching and drilling program has been submitted and is anticipated later this year.\"This property-wide geophysical survey will allow us to evaluate previously unexplored areas and generate a refined set of exploration targets,\" stated Benjamin Asuncion, CEO of Primary Hydrogen. \"The results will help prioritize areas for future trenching and drilling, supporting our broader objective of delineating REE mineralization at Wicheeda North.\"2025 Summer Exploration ProgramThe 2025 exploration program (the \"Program\") is designed to assess both the natural hydrogen potential and REE prospectivity of the Wicheeda North Project. Phase One includes:Soil and soil-gas sampling;Property-wide airborne geophysical surveying;Follow-up geochemical analysis of key zones.Soil sampling will be expanded across high-priority target areas defined by historical magnetic anomalies and geochemical trends. The airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey will cover the southern portion of the property, which has not been previously surveyed and overlaps with historical prospecting targets-potentially offering expansion opportunities.Wicheeda North is located within a geological belt prospective for carbonatite-related REE mineralization, similar to the adjacent Wicheeda Rare Earths Project, owned by Defense Metals Corp., approximately 5 km to the southeast. That project hosts a NI 43-101 compliant res...
