Recent Developments

November 2021: First Helium Inc., a helium exploration corporation with major development opportunities across western Canada, announced that its technical team has completed its assessment of approximately 880,000 acres of prospective helium lands in Southern Alberta (Canada) and has taken the initiative over 276,000 acres of land, which includes over 176,000 acres of corresponding 3D seismic and 512 kilometers of 2D seismic for another two years.

November 2021: First Helium Inc., a helium exploration company with considerable development possibilities across western Canada, stated that two separate transactions with private, third-party entities to buy an aggregate of 40 kilometers of natural gas collection pipeline assets have completed.

November 2021: Helium explorer Helium One started work on its Rukwa Project in Tanzania's Phase 2 exploration program. Around 200 line kilometers of 2D seismic will be used in the Phase 2 2D Seismic Campaign to target northern extensions of structure highs that serve as helium charge focus. The Tai well site so far yielded some promising structures, including high-quality seal and reservoir units. Helium One also discovered charge focus and trapping geometries far beyond known surface steeps. In Tai-1A, the company discovered a possible pocket of helium gas trapped within reservoir units below a 130m sealing claystone unit.
