equivalent to 32% of global demand

CLEAR ROUTE TO PRODUCTION

  • Focused development plan to commercialize asset
  • Lean operations – funds to be used for development of asset

HIGHLY EXPERIENCED TEAM

  • Industry renowned helium geologists and technical team
  • Focused management professionals with a track record of success in the resource space

100% WORKING INTEREST AND 87.5% NET REVENUE INTEREST OF A NEWLY IDENTIFIED WORLD CLASS HELIUM ASSET

  • Very high helium concentrations of 1 – 1.5%

HELIUM

Helium is a noble gas and the smallest of all known elements, the second lightest and has the lowest boiling point. This combination

  • f characteristics places helium as a unique commodity with

numerous applications. It also does not react to other elements or chemicals, making it the only gas that can be used to purge the liquid engines of super colliders and rockets. As helium is lighter than air, it is actively being lost into space. However helium is also actively being created via the decay of naturally occurring radioactive elements in rocks over time. The produced helium is liberated and carried in saline groundwater. This is the setting for the American Helium project, where the released helium has been transported by groundwater and can accumulate in porous geological formations such as sandstone. As a high-value product, liquid helium can be transported to reserves and processing facilities via ISO containers mounted onto trucks with no pipelines being necessary.

MARKET

A very large market currently dominated by the USA

Current global demand estimated to be over 6 bcf per annum, and to be worth over US$ 6 billion. USA is the largest producer with a 55% share in 2016, followed by Qatar with 32%, and Algeria, Australia, Russia, Poland and Canada also contributing smaller shares. Recent known reserves for Helium producing countries are 137.73 bcf for USA, 63.57 bcf for Algeria and 60.03 bcf for Russia. He

SUPPLY AND DEMAND

Global supply falling while demand increases

US reserves are dwindling due to the lack of helium production from its oil and gas fields and the country had already started importing helium from Qatar

Demand Forecast (3% CAGR) USA (exc. BLM) BLM* Qatar Algeria Australia Canada Poland Russia American Helium Opportunity

Demand for Helium projected to increase steadily fueled by increased demand for current applications and emergence of new applications driven by innovation Supply expected to be constrained as US Bureau of Land Management depletes its Helium reserve facility by 2020. In addition, c. 32% of 6 billion cubic feet global helium production is lost due to the sanctions on Qatar (not represented in above graph)

HELIUM PRODUCTION

Concentration of production among a handful

  • f countries will continue to be the leading

driver of uncertainty of supply and volatility

Current export restrictions and other imposed sanctions on Qatar will significantly reduce the world’s supply in the short term. Additional production capacity is expected to come online in Russia

  • ver the next several years, partly offsetting the effects of the Qatar

restrictions, but the unstable political environment in Russia may lead net buyers to look for other ways to remedy shortages. As long as the helium market is driven by only a handful of countries, it will continue to be at the whim of domestic and international politics, and volatile. The Bureau of Land Management’s current auctioning of helium reserves which is expected to continue until 2020 until depleted (save for a strategic stockpile of 3 bcf), will lead to a further drop in supply,

  • nce all the reserves have been sold.

Research analysts predict helium gas demand to grow at between 6.4% (IHT Markit) to 9% (Technavio) CAGR over the next decade, well above supply.
