This fault system has undergone multiple episodes of reactivation throughout the Paleozoic and Mesozoic, reflecting a long and complex tectonothermal evolution. It is interpreted as an ancient rift zone, associated with episodes of volcanism and the emplacement of gabbroic and related mafic intrusions, which mark an early stage in the structural and magmatic development of this region. These characteristics make the Cobequid Fault Zone a highly prospective environment for natural hydrogen generation and migration.","length":747,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Survey Highlights","length":17,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"list","items":[{"val":[{"type":"text","co...
