RE: Was there a South African Helium find?22 Oct 2021 15:34
Renergen
Already made a discovery
Drilling 19 further wells next year
They've had 12% helium shows
Potentially 350bcf (60% more than our 138bcf)
In a natural gas carrier (even more economic)
Have already signed 10&15 year off-take agreements with 3 gas majors
Technologically advanced, creating a Helium spot market
Utilising blockchain based token to buy/sell with suppliers
This company are not d!cking about, and are serious competition for us. We're in a development race to prove up our assets first, but they're way ahead, operationally, technologically & commercially. If Renergen come into the market, having proven up even a fraction of their potential resource, then there will be a glut in the market by the time we find ours.
Remember global consumption of helium is only 6bcf/annum. With all of this 'new' helium in the market, there's no denying that helium prices could tumble, it's basic supply & demand economics. Lower helium prices, equals less margin, less profits and a lower SP.
DM needs to seriously get his finger out before the new helium players in the market, not only steal our thunder, but completely change the potential economics of the investment case.
As it stands we don't even have a rig to do any drilling next year. DM needs to get some news out, and fast.
