Helium One Global LtD

("Helium One" or "the Company")

 

Helium and CO(2) Plant Construction Permit Approved by Las Animas County

 

Helium One Global (AIM: HE1), the primary helium explorer in Tanzania with a
50% working interest in the Galactica-Pegasus helium development project
in Colorado, USA ("the Galactica Project"), provides an update following the
Blue Star Helium (ASX: BNL) ("Blue Star") announcement issued today regarding
the Galactica Project.

 

Highlights

§ Permitting approved for construction of helium and CO(2) processing plant

§ Application received strong support from Las Animas County, local industry,
and local mineral and surface owners

 

Details

The approval, formalized through Resolution MF 2025-001 and made on 15 April
2025, grants Blue Star the authorisation required to construct the Pinon
Canyon Plant. This facility will be located at Lot 6 of Section 31, Township
30 South, Range 54 West, 6th PM.

In granting the permit, the Board of County Commissioners specifically found
that Blue Star had adequately demonstrated:

·    A clear need for a helium and CO(2) processing facility at the
proposed location

·    That the proposed location was suitable as were the plans for the
operation of the processing facility

·    An adequate utility of existing roads and access to the proposed
site, subject to agreeing a process for repairing road damage

·    The compatibility of the proposed helium and CO(2) processing
facility with surrounding land uses

This permit approval represents a milestone in the Galactica Project as the
Pinon Canyon Plant is a critical path component of the development plans in
the region and will allow the project to advance to construction and
operational phases.

Galactica/Pegasus Development

The Galactica project forms part of the broader Galactica/Pegasus development,
discovered by Blue Star in 2022. This large-scale project offers multiple
potential product streams. Blue Star is advancing the Galactica project in
joint venture with Helium One Global Ltd. Under the farm-in agreement, Helium
One will fund the first US $450,000 of this well.

The third-party owned Red Rocks helium project adjoins Blue Star's Galactica
Project (see map below). Development of Red Rocks further supports the
commercialisation of the Galactica Project.

Notes to Editors

Helium One Global, the AIM-listed Tanzanian explorer, holds prospecting
licences across two distinct project areas, with the potential to become a
strategic player in resolving a supply-constrained helium market.

The Rukwa and Eyasi projects are located within rift basins on the margin of
the Tanzanian Craton in the north and southwest of the country. These assets
lie near surface seeps with helium concentrations ranging up to 10.4% helium
by volume. All Helium One's licences are held on a 100% equity basis.

The Company's flagship southern Rukwa Project is located within the southern
Rukwa Rift Basin in south-west Tanzania.  This project is considered to be
entering an appraisal stage following the success of the 2023/24 exploration
drilling campaign, which proved a helium discovery at Itumbula West-1 and,
following an extended well test, successfully flowed 5.5% helium continually
to surface in Q3 2024.

Following the success of the extended well test, the Company flowed
significant quantities of helium to surface and filed a Mining Licence ("ML")
application with the Tanzania Mining Commission in September 2024. The
480km(2) ML has now been offered to the Company and was officially accepted in
March 2025.

The Company also owns a 50% working interest in the Galactica-Pegasus helium
development project in Las Animas County, Colorado, USA. This project is
operated by Blue Star Helium Ltd (ASX: BNL).

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.
