RE: £3million pounds worth bought15 Feb 2024 08:38
Yes, the £3Million buyer will have done their DD on the basis that:
1. Helium is priced at up to 50 times the price of LNG in liquid form.
2. It is essential to hi-tech products such as computer and smartphone components, MRI systems, medical treatments, superconducting magnets, fibre optic cables, microscopes, particle accelerators and space rocket launches – NASA is a major consumer.
3. Rising demand and constrained supply are fuelling growth prospects within the global marketplace, particularly for cleaner “green helium” sourced from noncarbon environments. 4. At present, more than 95% of the world’s helium is produced as a by-product of the processing of hydrocarbon-bearing gas.
5. Lorna Blaisse, HE1's CEO, has options priced at 6.25p.
6. The current annual global demand for helium is 6.6 Bcf in a US$7 billion market.
7. Helium prices continue to rise due to the current shortage and with a global average import price of US$457 per thousand cubic feet (2023 prices and higher now).
8. Air Products and Chemicals Inc (NYSE:APD)is one of the largest helium producing companies and has a current market cap of $64 billion.
9. Exxon Mobil is responsible for providing 20% share in global helium production.
10. Helium players such as Exxon, APD, Linde will know all about HE1's success at Itumbula. A JV with a global player would see the HE1 share price sky rocket.
Food for thought and probably why the £3million buyer snapped up these shares so cheaply prior to a major announcement which will see HE1's share price rocket.
