@Kaeren good spot. I think the world, let alone PI's on AIM doesn't understand HE3/4 and it's significance yet.
It may have gone a bit quiet but the below is very, very exciting and the new core samples could very well be a complete game changer for HEX and the potential could be mind boggling.
He-3 Source: Primarily derived from the radioactive decay of tritium (a hydrogen isotope) used in nuclear processes, making it valuable but expensive.
Applications: Both are crucial in cryogenics and low-temperature physics for cooling, with mixtures used in dilution refrigerators.
In essence, He-3 and He-4 are like cousins: the same element, but with different numbers of neutrons, which profoundly alters their fundamental quantum behavior and practical applications, especially at extremely low temperatures.
From our RNS - is pleased to announce breakthrough scientific results from its flagship Rudyard Project.
Dr. Michael Hofmann of AIM GeoAnalytics has confirmed that rock cuttings from the Rudyard wells contain the same minerals that naturally generate hydrogen deep within the Earth-including serpentine, olivine, and magnetite. These minerals occur in mafic and ultramafic rocks, which release hydrogen when they react with water under heat and pressure, underscoring significant potential for geological hydrogen generation at the Rudyard Project.
Complementing these findings, prior isotope analysis by Durham University revealed a ³He/⁴He ratio of 0.74 Rₐ, showing a measurable mantle helium component-which demonstrates the chemical fingerprint of deep-Earth fluids rising into the Rudyard system.
Highlights
· Elevated Helium-isotope Signature: Analysis from the Rudyard Project recorded a consistent ³He/⁴He ratio of 0.74 Rₐ, over 3,600% above average continental-crust values (0.02 Rₐ) representing some of the highest recorded in continental North America outside of Yellowstone with Helium-3 concentration averaging greater than 10 ppb.
· Confirmed Mantle Contribution and Geological Implications: Isotopic modelling suggests roughly 9% of Rudyard's helium originates from the mantle. This deep-Earth connection not only replenishes helium within the reservoir but also facilitates the water-rock reactions that generate natural hydrogen at depth - a key indicator of Rudyard's long-term potential as both a helium and hydrogen source.
· Hydrogen Potential: Geochemical results establish Rudyard as one of the few verified hydrogen-prone ultramafic systems in North America and has the potential to produce some of the world's cleanest hydrogen with zero CO₂ emissions.
