ABOUT FIRST HELIUM
Led by a core Senior Executive Team with diverse and extensive
backgrounds in Oil & Gas Exploration and Operations, Mining,
Finance, and Capital Markets, First Helium seeks to be one of the
leading independent providers of helium gas in North America.
Building on its successful 15-25 helium discovery well at the
Worsley project, the Company has
identified numerous follow-up drill locations and acquired an
expansive infrastructure system to facilitate future exploration
and development of helium across its Worsley land base. Cash flow from its
successful oil wells at Worsley
will help support First Helium's ongoing helium exploration and
development growth strategy.
First Helium holds over 60,000 acres along the highly
prospective Worsley Trend in Northern
Alberta, and 276,000 acres in the Southern Alberta Helium
Fairway, near existing helium production. In addition to
continuing its ongoing exploration and development drilling at
Worsley, the Company has
identified a number of high impact helium exploration targets on
the prospective Southern Alberta Helium Fairway lands to set up a
second core exploration growth area for the Company.
