Alaska Energy Metals to Explore Natural Hydrogen Resource Potential at the Angliers-Belleterre Project, Quebec, Canada

Highlights:

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alaska Energy Metals Corporation (TSX-V: AEMC, OTCQB: AKEMF) (“Alaska Energy Metals,” ”AEMC,” or the “Company”) today announced its plans to carry out a hydrogen soil gas survey over a portion of its Angliers-Belleterre Project (“Angliers”) in Quebec to determine if the project holds potential for natural, white hydrogen accumulations. Recent soil gas sample data released by adjacent claim owner Quebec Innovative Materials Corporation illustrates the potential for hydrogen accumulations to occur within the Lake Timiskaming Basin of western Quebec, which intersects with various parts of the Baby Greenstone Belt on AEMC’s Angliers claim block (Figure 1). The accumulation of hydrogen in the basin is likely to occur from the serpentinization of iron-rich basement rocks of the Baby Greenstone Belt, which consist of serpentinite, komatiite, basalt, peridotite, and iron formation.
