Charbone Hydrogen
Overview
Charbone Hydrogen (TSXV:CH,OTCQB:CHHYF,FWB:K47) is the only publicly listed green hydrogen firm in Canada looking to expand across North America (US and Canada) with a pipeline of new projects. This is an opportune time for Charbone as the world races to find effective solutions to meet its net-zero ambitions by 2050. Green hydrogen could be a perfect fit as a potentially low-emitting fuel source. There is an increasing realization of the potential of hydrogen in serving as a low-emissions substitute for fossil fuels in residential as well as industrial use cases.
The Government of Canada has laid out its hydrogen policy, aiming to meet nearly 30 percent of its energy requirement in 2050 by hydrogen, as well as become one of the top three clean hydrogen producers globally. The presence of abundant hydroelectric power, favorable government policies, and a progressive tax regime should boost hydrogen production in the country. The 2023 federal budget includes more than $17 billion in tax credits over the next five years to help fund clean energy projects, including hydrogen.
Source: IRENA - Geopolitics of energy transformation: the hydrogen factor
The US Department of Energy expects to produce 10 million metric tons (MMT) of hydrogen annually by 2030 and eventually reach 50 MMT by 2050. According to US Deputy Secretary of Energy David Turk, 50 MMT of hydrogen could power every bus, train, plane and ship in the US. This is the scale of hydrogen production the government is aiming to achieve. This would imply massive investments in creating the infrastructure to support production. The US government’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law sets aside $9.5 billion in total funding, including $8 billion for creating 10 regional hydrogen hubs and $1.5 billion in additional funding for other support.
Charbone stands to benefit from rapid adoption of hydrogen as an alternative to fossil fuels. Moreover, Charbone’s focus solely on “green hydrogen” should further its position among investors looking for opportunities to invest in sustainable energy solutions. Green hydrogen is produced when the energy used to power electrolysis comes from renewable sources like wind, water, solar or nuclear. Charbone has clearly stated its intentions to leverage hydropower and nuclear energy to produce hydrogen.
Company Highlights
- Charbone Hydrogen is a Canada-based producer of green hydrogen, and is the only publicly listed green hydrogen producer in Canada.
- The company aims to develop a pipeline of 16 green hydrogen projects across the US and Canada. Of which, the first facility at Sorel-Tracy (Quebec, Canada) is under construction and is expected to be production-ready in mid-2024.
- The company will leverage hydropower and nuclear energy to produce green hydrogen which will allow it to control production costs while lowering emissions. Energy costs remain a significant portion of hydrogen production and the ability to lower these costs will make Charbone’s offering more competitive.
- Charbone has developed several strategic partnerships aimed at strengthening its position in the hydrogen market. This includes a construction agreement with EBC, a supply agreement with NEK Community Broadband, and an MOU with Oakland County for the development of the first green hydrogen plant in the US.
- In December 2023, the company announced the closing of the second tranche of private placement. When combined with the previous closing, the company has raised an aggregate of $499,877, which will be used to fund the construction of the Sorel-Tracy Project.
- Charbone is well positioned to participate in the rise of green hydrogen as a potential low-emitting alternative to fossil fuels.
Project Pipeline and Key Partnerships
The company plans to construct 16 hydrogen projects across North America (six in Canada and 10 in the US) over the next four years. The first of which is under construction at Sorel-Tracy in Quebec, which is expected to be production-ready by mid-2024. The Sorel-Tracy facility is located on a 40,000-square-meter land parcel along Quebec Highway 30. The highway is known as the “Steel Highway” because of the numerous steel mills and process plants operating along the highway.
The construction of Phase 1 of its Sorel-Tracy facility is being done in partnership with EBC, one of the largest construction companies in Quebec. EBC has a proven track record of designing and building facilities in Canada and the US. The partnership agreement gives EBC the right of first refusal to construct additional Sorel-Tracy phases, as well as one or all of Charbone’s facilities within the North American market.
In addition, Charbone has entered into several other strategic partnerships all aimed to expand its footprint in North America.
Superior Plus
This partnership allows Charbone to sell hydrogen produced at the Sorel-Tracy facility to Superior Propane, a subsidiary of Superior Plus. Such supply agreements ensure that Charbone can generate cash flow immediately following the commencement of production.
NEK Community Broadband
Another such supply agreement was signed in November 2023 with NEK Community Broadband, which ensures the supply of green hydrogen in the Northeast Kingdom of the state of Vermont (USA). NEK Broadband is building a high-speed broadband infrastructure and plans to install a hydrogen fuel cell backup system for a reliable power supply.
Oakland County Economic Development Department, Michigan
Further advancing its goal of US expansion, Charbone signed a memorandum of understanding in December 2023 with Michigan’s Oakland County Economic Development Department to set up Charbone’s first green hydrogen facility in the United States. Oakland County is home to major automakers, and a green hydrogen facility in their proximity will support the effort of producing environmentally friendly mobility options.
Being the only publicly listed green hydrogen player in Canada, Charbone offers investors a unique opportunity to participate in the rise of green hydrogen as a potential low-emitting alternative to fossil fuels.

5 Top Weekly TSXV Stocks: Pulsar Helium Flies with 52 Percent Gain
Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly look at the best-performing junior mining stocks on the TSX Venture Exchange, starting with a round-up of Canadian and US market data impacting the resource sector.
The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index (INDEXTSI:JX) lost 15.98 points last week to close at 580.09. Meanwhile, the S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) closed at a new all-time high mid-week, but ended the period flat.
Statistics Canada released its June consumer price index (CPI) figures this past Tuesday (July 16). The data shows that inflation continued to cool, with 2.7 percent growth on an annualized basis, down from 2.9 percent in May.
The agency attributes the deceleration largely to gasoline prices, which saw a year-on-year gain of 0.4 percent in June versus 5.8 percent the previous month. The cost of food purchased from stores increased by 2.1 percent year-on-year.
On a monthly basis, CPI fell 0.1 percent, down from a month-on-month gain of 0.6 percent in May. Statistics Canada reported that the biggest factors were an 11.1 percent decrease in travel tours and a 3.1 percent fall in gas prices.
Statistics Canada also published its monthly mineral production data this past Friday (July 19). The numbers indicate a broad increase in metals production in May. Gold output rose by 2,339 ounces over April to reach a total of 18,418 ounces, while silver production increased by 2,024 ounces to reach 23,446 ounces.
Copper mining jumped by 2,551.23 metric tons over April to come in at 44,261.57 metric tons.
These figures came alongside Statistics Canada's industrial product price index, which tracks the prices of products made in Canada. The data shows that non-ferrous metals prices declined 0.4 percent month-on-month in June. Leading the way were prices for unwrought nickel and nickel alloys, which dropped 10.3 percent, the largest decline since March 2023.
Multiple US indexes hit new all-time highs this past week, including the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX), which peaked at 5,667.2 at Tuesday's close, although it ultimately lost 2.36 percent on the week to finish at 5,505.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI) also reached a new all-time high last week when it closed at 41,196 on Wednesday (July 17). It finished the week at 40,287.53, a slight weekly gain of 0.37 percent. After hitting a new high the prior week, the Nasdaq-100 (INDEXNASDAQ:NDX) lost 4.29 percent last week to close at 19,517.76.
As for commodities prices, gold hit a new all-time high on Wednesday before pulling back to US$2,401 on Friday.

How did junior resource stocks listed on the TSX Venture Exchange perform this past week? The five mining and energy companies below were the best performers by share price gains.
1. Pulsar Helium (TSXV:PLSR)
Weekly gain: 51.85 percent; market cap: C$20.04 million; share price: C$0.82
Pulsar Helium is a development company working to advance its Topaz helium project located 100 kilometers north of Duluth, Minnesota. The site consists of 1,040 acres of private mineral rights; Pulsar holds an exclusive lease with the option to lease an additional 2,092 acres from the same mineral rights holder.
Pulsar began exploration at the site in early 2024, with drilling of an appraisal well commencing on February 5 to a depth of 671 meters. Lab tests from the appraisal well indicated helium concentrations of 13.8 percent, with small amounts of atmospheric air contamination decreasing the measured helium values.
The company commenced downhole well works at Jetstream 1 on May 16, with a focus on collecting further data in preparation for a final phase consisting of flow testing and pressure buildup. Results from testing were released on June 6, with the company reporting maximum flow rates of 821,000 cubic feet per day and concentrations of 8.7 to 14.5 percent helium. It also said carbon dioxide concentrations of 70 percent were present.
Pulsar’s most recent update came on July 9, when the company announced the results from a seismic survey at Topaz. In the announcement, the company said a helium-bearing zone at the appraisal well was identifiable, and that further gas-bearing zones are likely at depth.
2. Solis Minerals (TSXV:SLMN)
Weekly gain: 26.92 percent; market cap: C$14.49 million; share price: C$0.165
Solis Minerals is a copper and lithium explorer advancing properties in South America. Its main focus in 2024 has been its Cinto copper project in Peru. The site is composed of seven tenements covering 3,200 hectares in the country's copper belt. The asset has seen limited exploration, primarily consisting of grab samples and satellite imaging.
Shares of Solis surged this past week following an exploration update on July 9. It reported the completion of an initial geochemical program, which identified copper mineralization over a 200 meter by 100 meter area at Cinto, including high-grade surface grab samples grading up to 7.14 percent copper.
In addition to that, the company signed an access agreement with the Carumbraya community to fast track the next phase of its exploration program. Solis said it has already deployed drones to collect magnetometer readings, and will be using geological mapping to guide drill permitting at the site.

Source Rock Royalties
Overview
Source Rock Royalties (TSXV:SRR) is a Calgary, Canada based company exclusively focused on oil & gas royalties in the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Source Rock's portfolio primarily consists of royalty interests focused on oil, with concentrations in southeast Saskatchewan, central Alberta and west-central Saskatchewan. The portfolio comprises:
- Various gross overriding royalty interests in southeast Saskatchewan.
- A gross overriding royalty in largely contiguous Clearwater interests in Central Alberta.
- A production volume royalty in Viking mineral rights in east-central Alberta.
- Various gross overriding royalties in central Alberta.
- Various gross overriding royalties in the west-central Saskatchewan Viking light oil play.
Source Rock Royalties offers investors low-risk and low-capital-cost exposure to the oil & gas sector in western Canada. The royalty business model offers the benefit of sharing in production revenue without exposure to the capital costs associated with drilling, development, maintenance, abandonment, environmental and other obligations.
Since its inception, Source Rock Royalties has consistently pursued royalty acquisitions, even amidst significant energy market fluctuations. The company has primarily concentrated on non-marketed royalty acquisitions rather than opportunities marketed through formal third-party processes. Leveraging strong relationships within the oil and gas sector in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, Source Rock identifies and accesses niche royalty acquisitions.
Source Rock acquired new royalties worth nearly C$13 million in 2023 and a total of C$16.5 million since its IPO in March 2022. These acquisitions effectively doubled Source Rock’s royalty acreage, significantly enhancing both its current royalty production and its exposure to potential undeveloped drill locations. Source Rock generated C$6.6 million in royalty revenue in 2023, the highest in its 11-year history.
Source Rock endeavors to keep costs low, thereby maximizing cash flows. Aside from the CEO and CFO, additional technical oil and gas professionals are engaged by Source Rock as consultants on an as-needed basis. Currently, Source Rock Royalties employs only one full-time staff member. The low-cost base ensures consistent cash flows as evidenced by its more than 11-year track record of delivering positive funds from operations.
Strong cash flow allows the company to consistently pay and increase dividends. Source Rock has paid ~$17 million in dividends to shareholders since 2014. Source Rock increased its dividend twice in 2023, for a total increase of 20 percent.
The current monthly dividend is $0.006 and is sustainable given that it can comfortably be funded by current operations even at a lower oil price scenario of C$60/bbl (or US$50/bbl WTI).
The management and board of directors have a proven track record of creating value in the oil & gas industry. The insiders own 9.5 percent of Source Rock’s common shares, aligning their interest to that of the shareholders by directly participating in the same financings as outside shareholders since inception. The company has a strong institutional shareholder base with CN Rail Pension Fund owning approximately 21 percent of Source Rock’s common shares. Source Rock Royalties has a clean capital structure with only ~45 million common shares issued and outstanding.
Source Rock focuses on a balanced growth and yield model, limiting volatility in returns for shareholders. Source Rock offers investors a unique opportunity to gain exposure to the oil & gas sector.

Royalty Assets
Source Rock's current portfolio comprises royalties primarily focused on oil (95 percent), spread across southeast Saskatchewan, central Alberta and west-central Saskatchewan. The company holds varying gross overriding royalties in more than 150,000 gross acres of land. Additionally, Source Rock owns a production volume royalty in Viking mineral interests situated in lands in east-central Alberta.
The majority of Source Rock's royalties are derived from top-line revenue, resulting in minimal exposure to deductions linked to production costs from wellbores and the sale of various commodities. Also, the majority of its current royalty payors are financially stable and possess robust capabilities to efficiently operate and enhance the value of the lands in which Source Rock holds royalties. Some of the key royalty payors include Whitecap Resources (TSX:WCP), Rubellite Energy (TSX:RBY), Surge Energy (TSX:SGY), Crescent Point Energy (TSX:CPG) and Anova Resources (Private), among many others.

Future development activities on gross overriding royalty lands will be focused on the Frobisher Formation. The Frobisher Formation, characterized by shallow depths and conventional light oil, does not necessitate hydraulic fracturing, making it one of Canada's most economically viable light oil plays.
2. Clearwater Heavy Oil Gross Overriding Royalty
The company holds a gross overriding royalty in approximately 61,440 net acres of land in the Figure Lake area of central Alberta. Rubellite Energy is the operator of gross overriding royalty lands and the production is entirely from the Clearwater Formation. The gross overriding royalty initially carries a royalty rate of 1.5 percent until the cumulative royalty revenue received by Source Rock matches the purchase price. At that point, the royalty rate decreases to 1 percent. The operator has committed to drill 59 horizontal wells on the lands by June 2026.
3. Hamilton Lake Unit Viking Light Oil Royalty
Source Rock earns a production volume royalty supported by production from Hamilton Lake Unit and Viking lands of Axiom Oil & Gas. Pursuant to the production volume royalty agreement, Source Rock's remaining entitlement to royalty volumes from the Hamilton Lake Unit is as follows:
- 2024 – 75 bbl/d; 2025 – 70 bbl/d; 2026 – 39 bbl/d
- 2027 to 2034 – 20 percent lower on a per-day basis than the prior calendar year; and
- January 1, 2035 – conversion to a 0.50 percent gross overriding royalty in the Hamilton Lake Unit or a $500,000 pay-out, at the discretion of the royalty payor.
4. Central Alberta and Saskatchewan Gross Overriding Royalties
Source Rock owns varying gross overriding royalties in approximately 60,000 gross acres of land located in west-central Saskatchewan and central Alberta.
