Helium One Global Ltd - London-based helium explorer focused on Tanzania - Completes wireline logging and downhole sampling at the Tai-3 well in Tanzania. Says that samples recovered from the reservoir intervals confirm presence of helium. Chief Executive Officer Lorna Blaisse says: "These results are very encouraging indeed and we are delighted to have completed the Tai-3 well safely and to have been able to acquire a full set of wireline logs and downhole samples. This is an excellent result for the company and a huge testament to the team's performance, especially given the challenges we have faced along the way." Notes, however that no basement downhole samples were obtained as the wireline tools could not be run past 1,430 metres measured depth due to washouts.

This comes after Active Energy's partner Player Design Inc was granted a permit in May to construct and operate the CoalSwitch facility in Ashland. CEO Michael Rowan says: "We are frustrated that the Ashland facility has not met the time deadlines, previously agreed with [Player Design Inc], but we remain invigorated from the positive feedback that our new US management team is receiving to establish alternative production centers elsewhere in the US with alternative production and engineering partners. With the immediate opportunities before Active Energy for CoalSwitch sales, I am confident in the future for the company's business."

CEO Moni Borovitz says: "[The fourth quarter] has begun well with good opportunities visible in all divisions of the group, part of which is related to the increased spending by the Israeli Government for services from both our Antenna and MTI Summit divisions. I believe that the company is therefore well placed to weather the current challenges and, in the absence of unforeseen geopolitical developments, to continue to grow."
