In preparation for an upcoming maiden drilling program, Gold Hydrogen Ltd (ASX:GHY) has appointed petroleum and energy resource veteran Frank Glass as chief exploration advisor.
An accomplished geologist and geoscientist who has been working in the industry for more than 30 years, Glass has been involved in the nascent natural hydrogen industry since 2001, having most recently served as exploration manager at hydrogen company 2H Resources, which was also pursuing natural hydrogen opportunities in South Australia.
“We are excited to have someone with Frank’s geological experience and expertise in natural hydrogen working with us to help make our upcoming drilling program a success for the company,” Gold Hydrogen managing director Neil McDonald said.
“Frank will also be heavily involved in the identification and planning for our future exploration leads and activities moving forward. On behalf of Gold Hydrogen, I am delighted to welcome Frank to the team.”
Expansive experience in natural hydrogen
GHY says Glass has been involved with the establishment of a robust natural hydrogen exploration framework, including identifying high-potential regions for natural hydrogen prospects.
The company expects that experience to be of “considerable benefit”, backed up by Glass’ involvement in the inception of the Natural Hydrogen Association of Australia (NH2A), a national organisation dedicated to supporting and advocating for the natural hydrogen exploration and development sector in Australia.
Glass holds a master’s degree in Structural Geology from the University of Amsterdam and holds numerous professional memberships including the Petroleum Exploration Society of Australia and the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers.
GHY is advancing planning and permitting for its maiden drilling campaign at its flagship Ramsay Project, which hosts a prospective resource of an estimated 286,000 tonnes of hydrogen (2U) which the company will be aiming to progressively expand and mature with its exploration activities.
