Calgary, Alberta, November 19, 2024 – Helium Evolution Incorporated (TSXV:HEVI) (“HEVI” or the “Company“), a Canadian-based helium exploration company focused on developing assets in southern Saskatchewan, announces the filing of the Company’s interim condensed financial statements and associated management’s discussion and analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 (the “Q3 Report”).
Complete details of the Q3 Report are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, and on HEVI’s website.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, HEVI continued to execute on its focused strategy of developing the Company’s 5.6 million acres of helium rights in southern Saskatchewan. With three helium discoveries, HEVI has made considerable progress toward its ultimate goal of producing and selling helium, generating cash flow and driving positive returns for shareholders. The Company remains committed to maintaining ongoing financial flexibility, evidenced by the Company’s positive working capital position of $4.2 million at September 30, 2024, excluding $0.8 million of pre-purchased tubing and casing (“Casing”) that was not yet utilized at quarter-end.
Operations Update
HEVI is pleased to provide an update on its joint well located at 10-1-4-9W3M (the “10-1 Well”). Drilling of the 10-1 Well, which is being drilled with North American Helium Inc. (“NAH”), commenced on November 12, 2024. The 10-1 Well is part of the previously announced development plan to drill up to nine wells in the Mankota area, as outlined in the Company’s news release on April 2, 2024.
The estimated total cost for HEVI’s share in the 10-1 Well is approximately $0.4 million net, with a portion of the net cost being covered in-kind through the use of HEVI’s pre-purchased Casing.
HEVI would like to extend its thanks to all shareholders and stakeholders for their continued support. The Company looks forward to providing future updates on the 10-1 Well and its other exploration and development activities.
