Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - August 17, 2026) - Primary Hydrogen Corp. (TSXV: HDRO) (FSE: 83W) (OTCQB: HNATF) (the "Company" or "Primary") is pleased to announce that it has staked the Northumberland Natural Hydrogen Project ("Northumberland" or the "Project"), comprising two exploration licences totalling 72 claims (approximately 1,166 hectares) along the northern margin of the Cumberland Basin in Cumberland County, Nova Scotia. The Project adjoins the land package associated with the partnership between Kavenex Energy and Denver-based Koloma Inc., establishing Primary Hydrogen in one of North America's most active natural hydrogen exploration districts. Highlights "This year the Cumberland Basin has produced some of the strongest natural hydrogen drill readings yet reported in Canada, and the land around those results has been locked up by companies ranging from well-funded juniors to one of the most heavily financed private hydrogen explorers in the world," said David Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of Primary Hydrogen. "Northumberland puts Primary on the basin's northern margin, adjoining that ground, at staking cost. That is the kind of asymmetric entry we built this company to find." The Northumberland Project Northumberland comprises two exploration licences (58173 and 58174) on Nova Scotia claim reference maps 11E13A and 11E13B, covering 72 claims (approximately 1,166 hectares) in Cumberland County. The licences form a coastal position along the northern margin of the Cumberland Basin between the communities of Northport and Pugwash, fronting the Northumberland Strait, with road access via the Route 6 corridor. The ground was acquired by map staking through Nova Scotia's NovaROC system. District Context The Cumberland Basin has become the centre of natural hydrogen exploration activity in Canada. Nova Scotia issued 814 mineral exploration licences in 2025 - almost double the 2024 total - with new claims concentrated in Cumberland County.³ Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (CSE: QIMC) has reported results from four drill holes in the district in 2026, including a peak mud-gas reading of 10.77% hydrogen at 848 metres in hole DDH-26-03 at West-Advocate, with five readings at or above 5% hydrogen over a 69-metre interval and methane at or below detection limits (May 20, 2026), and a peak field reading of 16.0% hydrogen at 236 metres in hole DD...
