Quantum Hydrogen Inc. has recently secured a significant land package (60,000 acres) overlying iron-bearing rocks, specifically the Biwabik Iron Formation, in the Animike Basin in the Lake Superior region of North America. 

This region hosts significant iron formations in several Paleoproterozoic sedimentary basins. In addition, adjacent and underlying greenstone terranes of the Archaean age host additional significant iron formations and ultramafic volcanic and intrusive rocks.

The Biwabik Iron Formation ranges in width from 0.5 to 5.0 Kms. and can be up to 200 meters in thickness. The formation generally dips to the southeast.

These three iron-rich lithologies are among the most prospective for the generation of naturally occurring “white “ hydrogen and Quantum is excited to be the first mover in a potentially globally significant terrane.

The Company is now acquiring all available geological and remote sensing data as the first phase of a work program that will enable it to start a comprehensive evaluation to fully assess and quantify the natural hydrogen potential of this area.

The region was selected based on an initial data review of available geological and geophysical data on the potential for the weathering of banded-iron formation to generate natural hydrogen and the proximity to nearby markets including pipeline networks, power plants, iron smelting and cement manufacturing.
