Air Liquide’s Autothermal Reforming (ATR) technology. In addition, a project for an innovative
industrial-scale ammonia cracking pilot plant in the port of Antwerp, Belgium.
If this is ‘big’ and just look how excitable Lorna was on the videos, not something she has displayed historically on other interviews, it could eclipse anything the stock market has ever seen.
The best counter argument from the Darwin Award kids was, ‘ it could take weeks or months to release the data’.
How is that even relevant, everyone investing here understood the potential (life changing sums of money) and you’re telling me the lure to jump over to COPL, SED, ENET, DKE was too strong, well I’m not getting it, not one bit.
It's not the market caps for helium and hydrogen that please me, it's the pure nature.
There may be enough evidence already for a major or a conglomerate to take over, leaving HE1 with a massive cash bundle and a minority 20 - 30% stake and then they industrialise the whole area. Game changer for sure, and the reason why desperate, although p1ss poor attempts are being made to get us to sell up.
We can all see, there’s a consolidated effort in place to disrupt this board. It’s not like any of these idiots have a clue about Tanzania, helium mining or anything like that, it is now a pure destructive game, but for what reason?
The only thing I can think of is to get weak holders to sell, but even then how does the disruption of this board lead to that? I see no correlation between these non-English clowns practising English in a repetitive manner and someone selling up, people are just not that stupid.
My initial plan was to hold for 1 or 2 years, now after seeing these petrified tactics attacks, I’m going to hold for 20 to 30 years, go full out for dividends.
It’s almost like these petrified, bitter and twisted games have had the reverse effect.
Burn it all down, so what, but you won’t get a single share of mine.
Great post and work Roger
After going through the unemployed drillers post history I was fairly certain he was simply an attention seeking, wannabe with a healthy dose of bipolar thrown in. You see his types a lot in these places, the safe behind the keyboard hard men lol.
Look forward to the full unmasking later
Something fishey going on No details Lab reports.
Why would they not release it?
They know you are just a trader, in agony over a few weeks of waiting. Lorna will hold back for a good while yet at least until you break down in tears #girl
I was doing some research today that highlighted Shell have been taking an interest in the RRB, sponsoring reach work and white papers. They have a massive presence in Dar es Salaam

In a significant stride towards harnessing its mineral wealth, Tanzania has witnessed a groundbreaking development in the exploration of critical minerals. The government’s commitment to conducting comprehensive geological surveys has culminated in a major breakthrough. Helium One Global (OTCMKTS: HLOGF), a licensed exploration entity, has uncovered remarkable helium concentrations within the Rukwa Rift Basin. This heralds a new era of economic potential for the nation.
Furthermore, the unveiling of 4.7 per cent helium concentrations in the Rukwa Rift Basin marks a watershed moment in Tanzania’s mineral exploration landscape. This substantial discovery, announced by Helium One Global on Monday, has been hailed as a significant stride towards achieving commercial viability. Through meticulous Basement Drilling Stem Testing (DST), helium began to flow to the surface, revealing concentrations that far exceed initial expectations.
An intriguing aspect of this discovery lies in the revelation that helium frequency increases with depth and is preferentially carried in hot fluids. Additionally, such insights into the geological dynamics of helium distribution provide invaluable guidance for future exploration endeavors. Identifying these patterns improves mineral prospecting by guiding more efficient exploration strategies.
