Global Helium Corp. Confirms Positive 10-08 Well Results, Further Drilling Planned and Acquisition of New Helium Prospect

CALGARY, Alberta, May 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Helium Corp. ("HECO" or the "Company") (CSE: HECO, OTC: HECOF) is pleased to share an update on the Company’s second helium discovery at 10-08-012-04W4/00 (“10-08”), following initial testing and post-flow pressure transient analysis. The 10-08 exploratory well was drilled and cased in November of 2023 and is situated on the farm-in land block of Perpetual Energy Inc. along the Manyberries helium trend near the Medicine Hat region of Southeast Alberta.

Positive Results From 10-08 Well

On April 16, 2024, the Company announced that following remediation work and stimulation, the 10-08 well production tested at approximately 4.1 million cubic feet per day at 3,500 kilopascal flowing tubing pressure from the Beaverhill Lake formation over a four-day extended test. Helium concentrations from the Beaverhill Lake zone were 0.56% – 0.68% based on several analyzed gas samples from the well, confirming that the 10-08 well represents HECO’s second commercially viable opportunity. Subsequently, a post-flow pressure transient analysis (“PTA”) and composite reservoir model were used to record pressure response, flow rates, reservoir properties and potential pool boundaries. The PTA indicated the reservoir appears expansive and productive, with no discernible depletion in reservoir pressure or demarcation of reservoir boundaries. Moreover, the PTA revealed an absolute open flow potential of 8.05 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscf/d).

North American Helium Elects to Drill Well on HECO Lands

Further to the Company’s press release dated April 8, 2024, the Company is pleased to announce that North American Helium Inc. (“NAH”), Canada’s leading producer and explorer of helium, has elected to drill a test well in the Vermillion Hills area of HECO’s Saskatchewan acreage. This election follows the execution of a seismic review option agreement dated April 8, 2024 between HECO and NAH (the “Agreement”), which afforded the Company the opportunity to advance its Saskatchewan land base while mitigating up-front capital costs and exploration risk. Pursuant to the Agreement, NAH has the right to review HECO’s proprietary seismic data covering the majority of the Company’s exploration permits in Saskatchewan and select a drilling location based on this review.
