Province Resources makes voluntary suspension request

Province asked the ASX to suspend its shares from quotation this morning.

The company asked for more time to finalise its joint venture terms with Total Eren for the HyEnergy green hydrogen project in Western Australia.

Province requested the suspension remains in place until the terms are finalised, or the commencement of trading on Friday this week.

The HyEnergy venture aims to produce 550,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually at the project site in WA's Gascoyne region. Green hydrogen is produced using renewable energy.

Currently, the project is in the detailed planning stage and is expected to be built in two stages. This includes using a mix of wind turbines and a solar farm.
