Well way ahead of these guys! So when moaning about "perceived" delays be grateful where we are perhaps! And they still not scheduled to produce until "later this year" the below is dated 1th January 2026
NB their take off agreement BEFORE even had a plant!
"Helium exploration and development company Avanti Helium has unveiled plans to deploy a ready-built helium processing plant at its Sweetgrass helium project in Montana.
The company signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with an “established helium technology provider” for the plant that is expected to be moved from its existing site in the coming months.
Avanti Helium said the facility includes a helium recovery unit and a truck-loading system to produce market-ready helium for high-pressure transport.
The plant is designed for an inlet capacity of around 10 million cubic feet a day (MMcf/d), with about 95% uptime. Helium purity is expected to exceed 98%, with potential upgrades allowing ultra-high purity of 99.999%. The facility can also be expanded to handle up to 15 MMcf/d.
Chris Bakker, CEO of Avanti Helium, described the news as a major step forward.
“Securing access to an existing, US-based helium processing plant with minimal hours of runtime allows the company to materially compress our development timeline while reducing capital and execution risk,” he said.
Avanti Helium’s Sweetgrass facility in Montana is not yet operational. Production, originally scheduled to start in late 2023 and then pushed to the first half of 2024, is now expected to begin later this year.
Last year, Avanti Helium announced a signed multi-year take-or-pay helium offtake deal with an unnamed industrial gas supplier.
Through the three-year deal, which has an option to renew, the buyer has agreed to purchase around 33% of the initial output each month at Avanti’s Sweetgrass helium recovery unit in Montana, and 25% after the plant expands."
