The earlier Twitter post re Tanzania (Not HE1 today). "Tanzania is on the cusp of a monumental breakthrough with the announcement that helium production expected to commence in 2025. As exploration efforts gain momentum in the Rukwa Basin, Lake Nyasa, and Lake Eyasi, we are poised to become a global powerhouse in helium production.
The potential of Tanzania’s helium reserves is nothing short of revolutionary. Data reveals that the unrisked Prospective Recoverable Helium Resource (2U/P50) at Tanzania’s primary helium project in Rukwa stands at an astounding 138 billion cubic feet (bcf). This positions Tanzania as the holder of the largest known primary helium deposit globally and signals a transformative shift in the global helium supply chain.
The 2016 discovery of 54 bcf of helium gas in Lake Rukwa marked a pivotal moment, showcasing Tanzania’s capacity to significantly alleviate global helium shortages. Helium is a critical component in medical diagnostics through MRI scanners and is indispensable for various advanced technological applications.
Until now, the United States has dominated the global helium supply, accounting for approximately 60 per cent in 2015, followed by Qatar. However, Tanzania's burgeoning helium resources are set to redefine this landscape.
The discovery of helium by the Geological Survey of Tanzania and Helium One, in conjunction with Durham and Oxford universities, represents a historic opportunity for Tanzania’s mining industry. The global market for bulk liquid helium, valued at over $2.7 billion, with prices surging by 135 per cent in three years, underscores Tanzania's immense economic potential.
Tanzania's journey towards helium production epitomizes the nation's progress and aspiration to lead on the global stage. As 2025 approaches, Tanzania is set to transform its economic landscape and offer the world hope and innovation.
