"We are thrilled to team up with a top-notch drilling company with an exceptional safety and performance record and highly experienced crew to help us make history in Saskatchewan," chief executive officer Mansoor Jan said.

"This is a big moment for our shareholders and we're ready to attack the Genesis trend with a best-in-class team as we pursue the world's first commercial Natural Hydrogen discovery," Jan added.
