Commencement of ERT Survey

Helium One Global (AIM: HE1), the primary helium explorer, is pleased to announce the commencement of an Electrical Resistivity Tomography ("ERT") survey at its Rukwa (100%) project area.

 

Highlights

· Initial testing completed over Tai prospect with data collected to date justifying continued operation

· ERT to image specific priority areas identified from Phase I and Phase II 2D seismic as well as investigating surface helium anomalies identified in recently completed multispectral satellite spectroscopy ("MSS") study

· Results will contribute towards out understanding of the helium system and future exploration planning

 

David Minchin, Chief Executive Officer, commented: 

"We are pleased to have commenced our ERT survey at the Rukwa project area. With the arrival of the rainy season providing saturated ground conditions ideal for running the ERT survey, results to date have shown interesting resistivity anomalies that justify additional data acquisition, interpretation and evaluation.

"Having completed our testing phase over the Tai prospect, the survey team will now move on to investigate other priority targets identified in Phase I and Phase II 2D seismic, as well as areas with near surface helium anomalies identified in our recent MSS study.

"We look forward to receiving the results of this survey which will contribute significantly to our understanding of potential shallow helium plays within the top 200m of the Rukwa basin."

 

Background

The ERT survey is designed to identify resistivity anomalies within the ultra-shallow zone (

Data collected from the survey can be used to direct further study into areas that could be prospective for potential shallow gas accumulations. Near surface geophysical investigation also assists in correlating surface anomalies identified in recently acquired MSS studies with deeper lying structures identified in 2D seismic. Interpreted data can allow the Company to better understand helium charge and migration across the prospective area.

Work has commenced with test lines satisfactorily completed over the Tai prospect. Processed data shows sufficient response to justify continuation of the ERT survey over other priority targets identified in Phase I and Phase II 2D seismic campaign, as well as near surface helium anomalies recently identified by multispectral satellite spectroscopy.

Notes to Editors

Helium One was founded in September 2015 to explore, develop, and ultimately, become a producer of low-carbon helium, a critical material that is essential in many modern technologies.

Helium One has identified a globally unique, large-scale, high-grade, primary helium project in Tanzania with the potential to become a strategic asset in resolving a supply-constrained market.

Helium One's assets are located within the rift basins on the margin of the Tanzanian Craton. The Company has secured 18 Prospecting Licences covering more than 4,512 km² in three distinct project areas: the Rukwa, Balangida and Eyasi projects. These are located near surface seeps with helium concentrations ranging up to 10.6% He by volume.

The Company's flagship Rukwa Project is located within the Rukwa Rift Basin covering 3,448km2 in south-west Tanzania. The project is considered to be an advanced exploration project with a portfolio of leads and prospects defined by high-resolution gravity gradiometry, and modern and historic 2D seismic. The Rukwa Project has been de-risked by the 2021 drilling campaign, which identified reservoir and seal with multiple prospective intervals from basin to near surface within a working helium system.

SRK Consulting have reported a 'Best Estimate' Un-risked Prospective Resource of 138 Bcf (2U/P50) for the Company's Rukwa Project, meaning that the project has potentially strategic global implications with the ability to significantly resolve helium supply/demand issues.

All Helium One's licences are held on a 100% equity basis and are in close proximity to the required infrastructure.

Helium One is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange with the ticker of HE1 and on the OTCQB in the United States with the ticker HLOGF.
