Global Helium Completes Extensive Seismic Program and Readies for Drilling

Rhea-AI Summary

Global Helium Corp. (CSE: HECO) (OTC: HECOF) has announced the successful completion of a comprehensive seismic acquisition program across its 1.5 million acres of helium land in Saskatchewan. New structures have been identified, prompting the company to proceed with surface land acquisition and permitting for multiple drilling locations in Saskatchewan and Montana. The Gilroy structure's size has increased by 47%, indicating strong helium potential. Global Helium aims to address the long-term supply shortage in the helium sector by producing 'Green Helium' without hydrocarbons.

CALGARY, Alberta, June 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Helium Corp. (CSE: HECO) (OTC: HECOF) (the “Company” or “Global”), one of Canada’s largest helium exploration and development companies, is pleased to announce that the Company has successfully completed a vast data and seismic acquisition and interpretation program, primarily focused on its considerable helium land base, spanning 1,500,000 acres in Saskatchewan. As a result, multiple structures have been identified and/or enlarged and the Company is proceeding towards surface land acquisition and permitting on multiple drill locations across Saskatchewan and Montana.

Additionally, the Company has completed seismic acquisitions in the Rudyard and High Plains Drifter regions of Montana, relating to its recently announced acquisitions in those two areas (see news releases dated May 18, 2022, and June 8, 2022).

The original seismic acquisition program in Saskatchewan commenced in December 2021 (see news release dated January 18, 2022) and over multiple stages and after being upsized, culminated in 94 kilometers (58 miles) of freshly acquired and interpreted seismic. All data was interpreted by the core Global team. Multiple new structures have been identified across the Company’s expansive Saskatchewan land base. These new structures are in addition to the earlier discoveries (see news release dated February 1, 2022), which has substantiated Global’s decision to materially expand the original program.

As was the case with the Lawson discovery and further to the initial discovery at Gilroy (see news release dated October 6, 2021), the Company has determined that the originally identified Gilroy structure is closer to eleven square miles in size and appears to be a closed structure, ideal for trapping helium. This represents a 47% increase in the size of the Gilroy structure versus what was originally thought. As also noted on October 6, Amplitude Versus Offset (“AVO”) analysis at Gilroy still indicates strong potential for helium and common carrier gasses relating to helium reservoirs.

Jesse Griffith, President of Global stated, “Our expectations were significantly exceeded with what we learned from this massive data and seismic acquisition program. The team at Global has now identified multiple drilling locations across a very diversified asset base in Saskatchewan’s three core areas along with two drill-ready assets in Montana that have proven helium from previous drilling campaigns. We are now working on securing surface access and getting all locations permitted in preparation for a significant drilling program. It’s an incredibly exciting time to be on the team and a major shareholder at Global.

The Company will also be conducting an extensive soil gas and water well testing program beginning immediately across the three Saskatchewan core areas to assist in finalizing drilling locations. As always, this data will be used to update the Company’s geophysical and geochemical models.

Global Helium is expected to form part of the solution to the long-term supply shortage that has plagued the industry for decades. The helium that Global is pursuing is defined as “Green Helium;” that is, it is produced not as a by-product of natural gas production, but with carrier gasses such as nitrogen, which makes up 78% of the air that we breathe daily. Global Helium is one of the earliest movers to pursue helium in its purest form, as a standalone business, without requiring hydrocarbon production as the primary pursuit and product.
