Anteros Metals Appoints Veteran Mining Executive as Chairman and Advances Hydrogen-Helium Exploration

Anteros Metals has announced a major leadership appointment and financing update, alongside continued progress at its Seagull Project in Ontario, where hydrogen and helium potential is being evaluated. 

The company has appointed Abraham Drost as Executive Chairman, a seasoned geoscientist and mining executive with a track record of leading companies through major mergers and value creation events. His background includes leadership roles in multiple successful transactions involving companies such as Carlisle Goldfields, Mega Precious Metals, and Premier Royalty. 

At the operational level, Anteros is advancing exploration at the Seagull Project (near Thunder Bay), where it is earning into a joint venture with Rift Minerals. The project is being explored for natural hydrogen and helium, alongside critical minerals including platinum group elements, copper, and nickel. 

Recent work has identified gas indications in multiple drill holes, including evidence of sustained gas flow in historical drilling—pointing toward an active subsurface gas system. 

The company is preparing to resume drilling in late April–early May 2026, aiming to further evaluate gas-bearing structures and expand understanding of hydrogen and helium potential. 

In parallel, Anteros has amended the terms of its non-brokered private placement, targeting up to $1 million in funding, which will support ongoing exploration and corporate activities.
