Metals Creek Resources ( (TSE:MEK) ) has provided an update.

Metals Creek Resources and Benton Resources have jointly staked six potential natural white hydrogen projects on Newfoundland’s west coast, securing 763 claim units in geological settings deemed prospective for hydrogen. The properties, including Parson’s Pond, Deer Lake Basin, and Bay St. George, were selected after detailed research of historical data from comparable hydrogen-focused regions in North America.

Several of the new projects feature documented gas occurrences in historical drill holes or surface venting, with Parson’s Pond showing methane levels up to 72% and geological indicators such as serpentine and glauconite that suggest a potentially active gas system. While Metals Creek maintains its primary focus on the Ogden Gold Project, management casts this partnership with Benton as a low-cost way to gain exposure to the growing natural hydrogen and helium exploration space, aligning the company with a green energy theme already seeing early success in neighboring jurisdictions.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:MEK) stock is a Hold with a C$0.03 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Metals Creek Resources stock, see the TSE:MEK Stock Forecast page.

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, MEK is a Neutral.

The score is primarily constrained by weak financial performance (pre-revenue, continued losses, and ongoing cash burn with a shrinking equity base). Technical indicators are neutral and do not offset the fundamental risk, while valuation remains unattractive/unclear due to negative earnings and no stated dividend yield.
