0

LOS ANGELES, CA, May 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Foothills Exploration, Inc. (OTC: FTXP) (“Foothills” or the “Company”), an oil and gas exploration and development company focused on meeting the energy needs of today and tomorrow, is pleased to announce an update on its joint venture with Perspectum Drone Inspection Services, Ltd. (“Perspective”).

Exploration for natural hydrogen is gaining momentum globally as demand for low-cost, carbon-free hydrogen continues to grow exponentially. For example, in the state of South Australiabecause February 2021, a total of 18 exploration licenses have been granted or applied for by six different companies seeking natural hydrogen on lands covering approximately one-third of the state. The Company plans to begin marketing the joint venture’s drone reconnaissance services for the delineation of the lands contained in these 18 exploration concessions. The Company, through its joint venture, also plans to begin unmanned aerial surveys over the lands of the White Lightning Prospect through its participation agreement with Pristine Energy, Inc.

Update on Joint Venture with Perspectum

HHe Exploration Technologies, Ltd. (the “Joint Venture”, the “JV” or “HHe”) integrated its hydrogen sensor into its unmanned aerial vehicle (“UAV”) and was flight tested to assess the navigation and stability performance of the platform. Field testing under optimal conditions continues, but to date HHe has experienced unusually cold and snowy spring weather conditions at its test site. He expects to be in the field testing the sensor detection and mapping software in the coming days.

HHe believes that the combination of optical gas imaging and ambient air analysis provides a new solution for identifying hydrogen in the tiniest volumes and concentrations. Additionally, a collaboration with a research and technology industry partner allows the joint venture to evaluate next-generation drones, which will have heavier payload capacity, extended flight times and capabilities. fully autonomous navigation. These advanced platforms will enable multi-sensor network capabilities of existing and future technologies resulting in the most advanced data acquisition possible.

“We are very pleased with our progress to date on the development of our purpose-built UAV platform,” said Ty Pfeifer, President of HHe “With the accelerating demand for our services, we continue to evaluate innovative technologies, which will keep us at the forefront of hydrogen and helium detection,” continued Pfeifer. “In addition to our ongoing evaluation of new sensor technologies, we also understand the need for more sophisticated UAVs and have ongoing collaboration with one of Canada’s most advanced technical institutes on this issue,” concluded Pfeifer.

About Natural Hydrogen

The field of natural hydrogen (or “gold/white”) exploration has recently emerged on the international stage as a potentially viable alternative hydrogen production method with costs expected to be significantly lower than methane reforming at steam (“grey hydrogen”) and electrolysis using renewable energies. energy (“green hydrogen”). Natural hydrogen is clean and carbon-free with production costs estimated at around $0.75 per kilogram, or about 1/8th of the current cost of producing green hydrogen.

Hydrogen is also gaining unprecedented economic and political momentum globally as an alternative net-zero energy carrier and complement to the “electric everything” movement. Bank of America predicts the hydrogen industry is at a tipping point and heading towards $11 trillionwith hydrogen production expected to increase by 5,000% by 2026. Global demand for clean and green energy continues to grow rapidly, coupled with the need to optimize production and minimize greenhouse gas emissions. greenhouse.
