Constellation Resources Identifies Large-Scale Natural Hydrogen Potential in Western Australia
Constellation Resources (ASX: CR1) has announced promising findings from its exploration efforts in Western Australia’s Edmund-Collier Project, highlighting the area’s potential to host large-scale natural hydrogen systems. Covering 87,602 km² across three sedimentary basins, the project shows all the key geological elements for hydrogen generation and accumulation.
Recent seismic reprocessing of line 10GA-CP2 and geochemical analysis indicate that organic-rich Blue Billy and Discovery Formations extend across significant portions of the project area. These formations, coupled with deep fault systems such as the Godfrey and Talga Faults, could provide effective migration pathways for hydrogen.
Additional highlights include:
- TOC values exceeding 2% in many areas, with up to 8.4% in some zones—favorable for thermogenic hydrogen generation.
- Porosity levels up to 32.2% in the Kiangi Creek Formation.
- Potential hydrogen generation via radiolysis in granite basement rocks.
Managing Director Peter Woodman called the project a “first-of-its-kind opportunity” for natural hydrogen in Western Australia. The company plans to conduct a basin-wide soil gas survey to detect micro-seepage and refine future drill targets.
