DESERT MOUNTAIN ENERGY GIVES UPDATE ON THE WEST PECOS SLOPE ABO GAS FIELD

Rhea-AI Summary

Desert Mountain Energy Corp. announces success in reassembling helium processing facility in New Mexico, adding dehydration unit to remove helium and increase net price for methane gas. Continued maintenance program and pigging of flow lines to lower flowing pressures. Plans for geophysical survey in Arizona to improve accuracy of drill targets. Appointment of Mr. Michael O'Shea to the Board of Directors with 300,000 options set at a premium to Friday's closing price.

Positive

• The addition of a dehydration unit to the helium processing facility in New Mexico will result in the removal of helium, inert gases, and heavy C-molecules, leading to a higher net price for the methane gas produced by Desert Mountain Energy Corp.
• The elimination of these particles will have an immediate and substantial impact on the net price received by the company for its natural gas.
• Desert Mountain Energy Corp. has implemented a scheduled maintenance program for flow lines and continues to replace specific portions of flow lines.
• The pigging of lines will help to lower flowing pressures from the furthest distant wells, and the delivery of smaller gathering system compressors will enable boosting production from wells with elevated levels of helium.
• The geophysical survey planned in Arizona, in partnership with Beam Earth Ltd., aims to improve the accuracy of drill targets for specific properties, including the McCauley Field, the Winslow South Field, and the O'Haco properties, by incorporating data from previously drilled wells.
• Desert Mountain Energy Corp. has set options for Mr. Michael O'Shea, who was appointed to the Board of Directors and head of the Audit Committee. The 300,000 options were set at a premium to Friday's closing price, with a vesting period of one year and a five-year expiry date.

Negative

• None.

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - DESERT MOUNTAIN ENERGY CORP. (the "Company") (TSXV: DME) (U.S. OTC: DMEHF) (Frankfurt: QM01) From the President of the Company. The Company is excited to report its ongoing success in reassembling the helium processing facility in New Mexico. An additional dehydration unit will be added to the system, resulting in the removal of helium, inert gases, and heavy C-molecules. This will lead to a higher net price for the methane gas produced by the company. The elimination of these particles will have an immediate and substantial impact on the net price received by the Company for its natural gas.

The Company will continue replacing specific portions of flow lines and has implemented a scheduled maintenance program for the flow lines. The continued pigging of lines will help to lower flowing pressures from the furthest distant wells. Smaller gathering system compressors have been delivered, when coupled with line pigging will enable boosting production from the wells testing with elevated levels of helium. As stated in the press release on 08/16/23, the geologic team conducted independent gas analysis on specific individual wells, focusing on wells that showed higher levels of helium in previous tests over the past two years. The overall average gas composition of the tested wells, including C1-C10, Nitrogen, and Helium percentages, falls within the expected ranges based on testing and reported by the former operator. The Company plans to continue conducting additional independent gas composition tests on specific wells to further delineate opportunities to increase the overall helium throughput of the plant.

THE McCAULEY PROJECT IN ARIZONA

DME, in partnership with Beam Earth Ltd., is planning an airborne, low-altitude, geophysical survey over specific properties in Arizona. The properties to be surveyed include the McCauley Field, the Winslow South Field, and the O'Haco properties. By incorporating data from previously drilled wells, the survey aims to improve the accuracy of the final data sets by establishing additional correlations. The results of this high-resolution survey will be used to verify and, if necessary, redefine drill targets for each of the properties.

INCENTIVE OPTIONS

Pursuant to the appointment to the Board of Directors and head of the Audit Committee, the Company has set options for Mr. Michael O'Shea. The 300,000 options were set at a premium to Friday's closing price, $0.44 per share vesting over one year with a five-year expiry date of 09/01/28.
