Good to hear Toffers! You also sound like a number of other posters on Met1 and other sites that try to talk the share down, so forgive me for thinking that would be your reasoning behind doing so, I only have one handle here, and I try to keep middle of the road, but in this instance and the research I have done, it does seem very positive. Where there is positive it is positive, where there is negative it is negative. I understand this share crashed before, but I believe the circumstances were very different. You are full entitled to your view and happy to discuss it, but I am a novice on Helium as mentioned before, I have done research on both the Helium and where it comes from etc and also on the Whale theory. In this instance it does seem a stand-up theory. Maybe wrong, but we will find out very soon I guess already share price moving back up to 0.0075 so lets see! BY the way trying to insinuate I have other handles is really the point at which you have no where else to go! so I will treat it as a compliment.

Ignore the failure talk, there is absolutely nothing in the RNS or data that could be interpreted as a fail. They are trying to talk the share down, the price ism unlikely to go above 75 today unless the auction session dictates but the shares available at the lower prices are at the end and this will come through over the next couple of days especially if the RNS comes through about a major buyer or as expected positive news re Colorado (or other project comes through in next couple of days. The massive accumulation of shares as a percentage of ownership would not be happening if there was not a catalyst coming through imminently. Sit back and enjoy the ride!

I have been researching the Whale theory for the last hour or so and looking at all the trades that have occurred and how the 0.0065 price was heavily defended and the price has not been allowed to rise up above 70 til recently and finally that massive purchases of hundreds of millions of shares have been made (which is not retail buying), I must concur with McNoll it is a whale buying up probably prior to a major announcement or a deal they are planning on doing with the company. Thanks McNoll I understand the logic and mechanisms behind this a lot more now You are spot on!

There seems to be a lot of good information and things to think about coming out here.... thanks everyone!

I am on Etoro, II and Trading 212 and mine are all upto 69+ to sell 73 to buy

McNoll you must remember that Blubay and some of the others probably shorted the shares in 0.004s and 5s so they are absolutely desperate to force the price down to get back to breakeven. The issue for them is that the whale buying up the shares means they are left in debt i.e. they sold shares they drop not own and these must be replaced, if they can not, they could be in for a very hefty loss! Especially as the price rises. Now 0.0065 - 0.0073 and selling at 0.0069+ and buying 0.0073 so they are getting heavier into debt. Don't take it personally as they will say anything and do anything to try and sabotage the share price. As the price rises back up to the 80s later today, so their last chance will really be gone, with very few shares left in play.

The water ratio was not due to the main flow of water in the reservoir, it was because it mixed with the water from the aquifer. The amount of Helium does not change, just in a greater amount of water. The fact is, it states clearly that it is commercially viable. The challenge here is not the amount of helium, there is above the original forecast, so this is excellent. The fact it is more water than expected was the challenge, which is why they need a company that has the equipment and skills to get the Helium out. This is not a problem, merely a challenge, as the companies are a round that can do this economically or rather profitably. As they clearly stated, the next job is to find the company. They would not be looking for a company if the Helium available was not commercially viable, they would simply dump this site or sell of the rights and move their money to Colorado. Simplistic, but am I missing something here?

I have noticed that the buys are well ahead of the sells and the buys are all at 0.007p whereas the sells are closer to or at 0.0065. That's a massive margin, Not sure why someone would sell at 0.0065. There is a high probability of an RNS breaking in the next few days. I must admit I bought today and am now on 3 million shares with an average of low 6s. I have no idea what the future holds, but I am 99% certain another positive RNS will come out in the next couple of weeks. Here's hoping. Keep going with the info McNoll and others. Be interesting to see who pans out right. luckily I have Fulcrum that is up another 11.11% today.

I think he answered that this morning Toffers, are you shorting the share? The guy is just offering his view of what is happening, exactly what you do and most people on here. That is what the forum is about, so why so negative and attacking him. Personally, I find his view quite interesting. The fact another RNS is likely to come out about Colorado as the previous RNS hinted at means the shares will most probably rise for this. If he is right you end up with egg on your face! So listen and if you have a question about his theory then ask him, I am sure he has the answer to your question. Just slagging him off with no reasoning does look good on you! If he is right we learn something, if he is not then we still have something we can keep an eye on and we are better informed.

I bought more at the lower price

You make a very valid case for the whale McNoll, I appreciate that supply and demand dictates if they are buying then the price should rise.... would that be the case? Also your point on capturing the market (being able to go against the company) would this detrimental to the share price in reducing competition?

Apologies Crypt, get excited when writing and sometimes click send before reading.

I went to The london stock exchange and also the company website. Seems the shares are staying within the 75 - 80 range suggesting a bit of tree shaking

Not sure if added before but this Proactiveinvestor link gives a good overview as to whether it is positive or negative : https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/1087449/inside-biotech-astrazeneca-halts-generic-diabetes-pill-launch-in-patent-battle-with-pharmacor-1087449.html

Good luck guys n girls for today!

@Nowthewiser yep agreed, I did it on Google AI and I must admit there was a stark similarity. Either MacNoll got from. AI or AI confers with McNoll is stating or AI is McNoll possibly a fourth! :) But I thought I would get the info. tap it in and see whether it was plausible that someone was using an Algorithm. Sorry McNoll I am not doubting your words, but I find the comments you made here very interesting, and I wanted to dig deeper as this could apply to other shares. Also to learn more about it. Personally I am onboard with the possibility, and I am not sure about a number of the negative comments, I know we getnthem on all boards and some can sound quite convincing till you look into it further. I am not sure that the company would be seeking a buyer for the Helium if there were insufficient quantities to sell. Also, the investors are a logical step. Many sources say that this area is potentially high in Helium so it is not beyond the scope of possibility that they have struck rich or even just struck! I am no expert, infact a novice at Helium as a gas, I have used it for blowing up balloons but from what I have researched it is crucial to many industries and there is not a lot of accessible helium about to support the industries and growth. The helium as far as I am aware is created through radioactive decay and in most rich in helium areas the heavy water load is normal as it is the carrier of the helium which travels through faults in to reservoirs. So the chances of their being a high water load is extremely high. The issue was that HE1's recent tests showed a sustained average GWR of 0.06 m³/m³. While the helium concentration itself remains high (averaging 5.4%), the high water volume suggests the well may be drawing from a "mixed" source of deep helium and shallower Karoo aquifer water. Despite the high water content, the use of Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESPs) proved that the well can maintain high flow rates (up to 16,400 barrels per day). This "proof of flow" was the critical milestone for HE1 as it should attract a range of farmout partners who have the capital to optimize the well and potentially isolate the water-heavy zones. The technology is around to do this. So it is not a low rate of helium, the issue is accessing which is why they need a farm out partner. Please correct me if I am wrong, I am a mere novice in this.

Sorry all, I added my comments about Helium 1 here instead of the HE1 thread.

The recent price action for Helium One Global (HE1) on February 16, 2026, aligns with a significant operational update and high-volume trading activity. The shares surged following a successful project update but later retraced as the market digested the news and technical resistance levels.

Market Activity and "Whale" Evidence

The suggestion of a "Whale" (a high-net-worth or institutional buyer) accumulating shares is supported by several technical observations from the trading day:

Identical Block Trades: Market analysis noted sequences of identical trade volumes—specifically blocks of 2 million shares and a single 5 million share print. These repetitive, large-volume transactions often indicate algorithmic accumulation by an institutional player attempting to build a position without causing a massive price spike.

Massive Volume: Trading volume on February 13 and February 16 was exceptionally high, with over 586 million shares traded in a single session—roughly 10% of the entire company's market cap.

Buy/Sell Imbalance: While many large trades are reported as "sells" due to being closer to the bid price, deep-dive analysis suggests these were likely limit-order buys being filled as market makers "flushed" the price to find liquidity.

Potential Catalyst: Why Now?

The sudden interest is likely driven by two major "re-rating" catalysts:

Rukwa Project Breakthrough: On February 16, 2026, Helium One reported enhanced flow rates from ESP testing in Tanzania, showing a six-fold increase (up to 16,400 barrels of water per day) and sustained helium concentrations of 5.4%.

Strategic Farmout Process: The company officially launched a strategic farmout process to find an industry partner for the Rukwa project. Speculation in the market points toward global industrial gas giants like Linde plc or Air Liquide as potential partners who could validate the project's commerciality.

Who is the "Whale"?

While the exact identity remains speculative until a TR-1 notification (Major Shareholding Disclosure) is filed, current theories include:

Institutional Accumulators: Passive funds or small-cap specialists responding to the 71% monthly momentum.

Strategic Partners: A potential farmout partner taking a "toehold" stake ahead of formal negotiations.

Market Makers: Firms like Marex or Panmure Liberum managing large client orders at the 0.75p–0.80p "gate".

Would you like to track if any TR-1 regulatory filings appear in the coming days to confirm the identity of this buyer?

Re McNoll, Although i find the information given quite interesting and certainly insightful, I am more dealing in the facts before us. HE1 have hit Helium in a basin that has already been targeted as a major source. (They were right). The pumps in place and pumping. Helium is being collected by HE1. They are now looking for a buyer. If you are a business looking for a buyer, then you must have something to sell! Logically. HE1 have a few sites nearing fruition. The overall consensus has been very positive based on the RNS. With such a massive need for Helium by a range of industries and the dearth of the gas globally, one would assume that finding a buyer at current Helium Gas rates or higher would be quite easy assuming they have gas to sell. This would be quite a quick process and maybe a bit longer for thenpaper work and deal to be done. Revenue being propduced puts HE1 into a whole new entity and worth vastly more than a company with a great idea, nothing tangible to sell and no buyer or revenue. Just looking at the facts in front of us based on the RNS given by the company as a fact, it is enough to push the share price to greater heights than it is today. If McNolls theories of the Whale who is collecting shares is correct (who ever it is or what ever their motive) then this is another dimension to the enigma and would potentially add even more to the value, if not only due to supply and demand in that the number shares on the market have been reduced significantly. Those that holds and do not sell regardless end up in a Gamestop scenario where the shares will increase and increase to to find sellers. Regardless of little tricks that may be used to hold the price, this can only be shortb term. (I am not saying McNolls theory is correct or incorrect as there is no way I could know until it happens) but it is really icing on the cake to the current status of HE1 and the RNS facts we have recieved already (This is what we know!).

If that is the case McNoll, I would guess that at some point as the whale absorbs the shares a shortage will occur and the price will rise or a tree shake will happen. Where do you think this will end up today? in the 90s?

The RNS is not available on this thread, so where are you getting it from, anyone Please?

Where is the RNS?
