A Vancouver-based battery metals company announced this week that it has acquired 5,000 acres of land for a hydrogen project.
Cruz Battery Metals says the South Advocate Hydrogen Project site, which borders a Quebec Innovative Materials project, is in Nova Scotia.
“Hydrogen exploration companies are experiencing a surge of investor attention recently,” says James Nelson, President of Cruz Battery Metals.
“We are pleased to be able to acquire the South-Advocate project,” he continued, noting how Quebec Innovative Materials “made a major recent hydrogen discovery in Nova Scotia.”
Hydrogen “is expected to play a major role in the global transition to cleaner energy as industries like steel, shipping, and aviation seek low-carbon fuels,” according to Nelson.
“Demand for hydrogen could grow rapidly, potentially benefiting companies positioned in the sector,” he said, adding he is “very optimistic about the growth prospects for the remainder of 2026 with multiple potential catalysts on the horizon.”
Targeting the rechargeable battery and renewable energy sectors,Cruz Battery Metals is focused on acquiring and developing high-quality battery metals projects in politically stable, environmentally responsible, and ethical mining jurisdictions.
“We strongly believe that battery metals are poised to garner significant market attention as the demand for lithium-ion batteries continues to increase along with the explosive growth of the electric vehicle industry,” reads a statement from the B.C. firm.
In addition to the South Advocate Hydrogen Project, Cruz has several battery metals focused projects located in the USA, including the 4,938-acre Solar Lithium Project, the 240-acre Clayton Valley Lithium Brine Project, and the 580-acre Central Clayton Valley Lithium Brine Project.
