First Helium Inc. (‘First Helium’ or the ‘Company’) (TSXV: HELI) (OTCQB: FHELF) (FRA: 2MC) today confirmed details of a webinar to highlight First Helium’s plans to test key exploration targets at the Company’s 100% owned Worsley property in Northern Alberta during the fourth quarter of 2024. Based on a thorough evaluation of recently acquired proprietary 3D seismic data, the Company has identified a significant anomaly in the Leduc Formation which it believes to be prospective for oil.
‘We are planning to undertake a number of operations later this year, including testing a large 3D seismic anomaly to target Leduc oil, and completing a previously drilled horizontal well to target Blue Ridge helium-enriched natural gas. If successful, these operations will set the stage for immediate cash flow for the Company, coupled with the accelerated development of oil and helium enriched natural gas at Worsley, executed alone or with larger partners,’ said Ed Bereznicki, President & CEO of First Helium.
‘These operations represent a very important next step for the Company in de-risking the Leduc and Blue Ridge plays, respectively. Each has the potential to unlock significant, follow up development drilling on the Company’s 53,000 acre, 100% owned land base. If you haven’t registered yet, I encourage all current shareholders and other interested parties to do so,’ added Mr. Bereznicki.
As previously announced, the webinar will be held on September 4 th , 2024 at 2:30pm Mountain Standard Time (1:30pm PST, and 4:30pm EST), and presented via Microsoft Teams. In order to participate in the webinar, please pre-register at https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/f32cb497-edf1-4d56-9df9-ad0ce5c1f81b@3961cb80-2e3d-4b6b-ba4b-cb5492fabf0b , by 2:30pm MST on September 3 rd , 2024.
Highlights:
Following a brief introduction by Ed Bereznicki, President & CEO, Mr. Marc Junghans, head of Geology and Asset Development, will walk participants through two significant opportunities planned for Q4 2024, including:
Leduc Formation: Drilling of the potentially transformational, structural feature in the Leduc Formation targeting oil, with the potential for helium-enriched natural gas; and Blue Ridge Formation: Completion and testing of the previously drilled 5-27 horizontal well to establish a repeatable, high margin, helium-enriched natural gas play targeted to deliver significant volumes of helium gas production.
