Highlights
- Constellation Resources identifies major natural hydrogen potential in WA
- Geological data reveals strong indicators for hydrogen generation
- Upcoming soil gas surveys to set foundation for deeper exploration
Constellation Resources (ASX:CR1) has confirmed the large-scale natural hydrogen potential of its Edmund-Collier Project in Western Australia, positioning the company at the forefront of a new energy frontier in the region. The project spans a massive 37,000 square kilometres across a largely untapped basin, offering compelling signs of thermogenic hydrogen potential.
Through advanced reprocessing of seismic data and fresh geochemical assessments, the company has identified favourable geological markers that support the formation of natural hydrogen. These include strong source rock quality, appropriate thermal maturity, and deep-seated structural features, making the Edmund-Collier basin one of the most promising zones for hydrogen generation in the state.
Particularly notable are the Godfrey and Talga fault systems. These extensive regional structures intersect organic-rich formations such as Blue Billy and Discovery, where Total Organic Carbon (TOC) values average around 5.25%. Such values are considered strong indicators of thermogenic hydrogen generation capability.
Another major highlight is the 4-kilometre-deep Wanna Syncline — a vast and largely unexplored geological feature that stretches over 300 kilometres. With its significant depth and scale, this formation adds further credibility to the project’s hydrogen potential.
Porosity test results have also provided encouraging insights. Some zones have recorded porosity levels as high as 32%, suggesting the presence of natural hydrogen storage capabilities across multiple geological layers.
In the next phase of exploration, Constellation Resources plans to initiate a comprehensive basin-wide soil gas survey. This effort aims to identify hydrogen and helium microseepage patterns, which could guide the location of future deep drilling programs and support the transition from exploration to permitting.
This strategic advancement signals a bold commitment to hydrogen as part of the evolving energy landscape in Western Australia. While Constellation Resources is not currently listed on the ASX 200, its proactive exploration and scientific methodology reflect the kind of innovation that could shape the future of Australia’s energy sector.
As demand grows for clean, scalable energy alternatives, the Edmund-Collier Project could become a key contributor in positioning Western Australia as a major hub for natural hydrogen production.
