NEWS RELEASE | FEBRUARY 29, 2024 | VANCOUVER BC

PULSAR CONFIRMS HELIUM ENCOUNTERED IN THE JETSTREAM #1 APPRAISAL WELL AT THE
TOPAZ PROJECT

Pulsar Helium Inc. (TSXV:PLSR) ("Pulsar" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce that at 2:05AM CST February 28th, the Jetstream #1 appraisal well* at
the Topaz helium project in Minnesota reached total depth (TD) of 2,200 feet
(671 meters). Prior to reaching TD, helium shows were encountered during
drilling between 1,750 - 2,200 feet (533 - 671 meters) with concentrations of
up to 12.4% helium(1)** measured by the on-site mass spectrometer. When TD was
reached, the well was conditioned with air to assist in removal of residual
drill fluid, the well then began to naturally flow helium-rich gas at an
unmeasured rate to surface at 6:30AM CST where the mudlog gas composition
increased from 3.7% to 5.1% helium(2 & 3)** over a 5-hour clean-up period.
Due to the significant air volumes pumped into the well during the drilling
process, these measurements are considered to be a minimum value due to
dilution by atmospheric contamination.

Pulsar's President & CEO, Thomas Abraham-James commented: "This is an
outstanding result, I am delighted that helium has been identified in the
Jetstream #1 appraisal well. It is a big day for helium exploration,
confirming the original discovery in the new jurisdiction of Minnesota. I look
forward to keeping the market updated with further results as they are
received."

Due to the loss of circulation and returns while drilling, the origination
depth of the gas shows are unable to be resolved until the comprehensive suite
of open-hole wireline logs has been collected and processed by Baker Hughes.
Baker Hughes was on site yesterday and has logged, with the data then
requiring processing. Upon completion of the logging program, the well will be
suspended for flow testing and the rig released and demobilized.

The geology was consistent throughout the well, interchanging
troctolite/anorthosite, both of which are mafic igneous rocks with
intermittent fractures.

The gas compositions were measured by the independent surface logging team
using their on-site quadrupole mass spectrometer. Isotube gas samples have
been taken from the mass spectrometer at the various show intervals and will
be shipped to a specialist gas laboratory for full molecular composition,
removal of atmospheric (air) contamination, and isotopic characterization.

Drilling of the Jetstream #1 appraisal well ended 50 feet higher than the
planned TD (2,250 feet / 686 meters) due to abnormally high winter
temperatures and the imminent start of Spring Load Restrictions on local road
systems. A well testing package is intended to rig up on Jetstream #1 and
execute a flow testing and pressure build-up program, plus collect pressurised
gas samples for laboratory analysis when road conditions allow heavy traffic
to return.

As per the State of Minnesota's exploratory boring regulations, Jetstream #1
is regulated by the Minnesota Department of Health who also visited site, with
Jetstream #1 being in full compliance with the State's regulations.

*  In the State of Minnesota, the regulatory term is 'exploratory boring'.

**  Gas concentrations were measured via quadrupole mass-spectrometer under
drilling conditions. Measurements on this device are conducted every 100
seconds and only occur when wellbore fluids are circulating or naturally
flowing from the wellbore to the surface. Additional samples will be taken
from the isolated flow test system to be conducted at a later time and sent to
a third party laboratory for compositional analysis.

assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, through
the use of words or phrases such as "will likely result", "are expected to",
"expects", "will continue", "is anticipated", "anticipates", "believes",
"estimated", "intends", "plans", "forecast", "projection", "strategy",
"objective" and "outlook") are not historical facts and may be forward-looking
statements and may involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties which
could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those
expressed in such forward-looking statements. In particular and without
limitation, this news release contains forward-looking statements pertaining
to the anticipated results of Jetstream #1 with regard to estimating the size
of the reservoir intercepted; the results of the flow testing and pressure
build-up program and collect pressurised gas samples to determine the
concentration of the helium and other gases via an independent laboratory. No
assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and
such forward-looking statements included in this news release should not be
unduly relied upon. These statements speak only as of the date of this news
release.

Forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions and are

Company's control, which could cause actual results and events to differ
materially from those that are disclosed in or implied by such forward-
looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited
to Pulsar may be unsuccessful in drilling commercially productive wells; the
helium gas concentrations are not necessarily indicative of long-term
performance, nor long-term results; drill costs may be higher than estimates;
delays in the commencement of drilling, and other factors set forth under
"Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements and Market and Industry
Data" and "Risk Factors" in the Final Prospectus. The Company undertakes no
