Prominence Energy Identifies Widespread Helium and Natural Hydrogen Anomalies Across Eyre Project Through Independent Satellite Study

Prominence Energy has reported results from an independent satellite-based remote sensing study that identified widespread helium, natural hydrogen, and methane anomalies across its Eyre Project in South Australia, providing additional support for the company’s emerging exploration model. 

The study was conducted by remote sensing specialist Dr. Neil Pendock using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery and advanced spectral processing techniques designed to detect surface signatures associated with gas seepage. The analysis identified numerous anomalies across both granted and pending licence areas, suggesting the possibility of a regionally extensive natural gas system. 

A particularly noteworthy outcome is the correlation between several of the strongest satellite-detected anomalies and locations where Prominence previously recorded elevated hydrogen, helium, and methane concentrations during its soil gas survey program. The convergence of these independent datasets provides additional confidence that active gas migration may be occurring within the project area. 

According to Chief Operating Officer Dr. Krista Davies, the results strengthen confidence in both the prospectivity of the Eyre Project and the company’s understanding of the geological processes operating across the region. Management believes the widespread distribution of anomalies supports the potential for a large-scale natural hydrogen and helium system and enhances the project's standing as an early-stage exploration opportunity. 

The study also identified new prospective areas that were not previously prioritized, expanding Prominence’s exploration inventory and providing additional targets for future follow-up work. Prospectivity mapping generated from the satellite data highlights multiple areas exhibiting characteristics consistent with gas migration across the broader project footprint. 

Prominence is now integrating the satellite analysis with gravity and magnetic interpretation, structural mapping, and soil gas survey data to refine target ranking and identify high-confidence prospects for future drilling campaigns within its Gawler Hydrogen Project portfolio.
