Notes to Editors

Helium One Global, the primary helium explorer in Tanzania with a 50% working
interest in the Galactica-Pegasus helium development project in Colorado,
USA. The Company holds helium licenses within two distinct helium project
areas, across two continents and has the potential to become a strategic
player in resolving a supply-constrained helium market.

 

The Company's flagship southern Rukwa Project is located within the
southern Rukwa Rift Basin in south-west Tanzania. This project entering a
full appraisal and development 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 ("EWT"), successfully flowed 5.5%
helium continually to surface in Q3 2024.

 

Following the success of the EWT, the Company filed a Mining Licence ("ML")
application with the Tanzania Mining Commission in September 2024 and the
480km(2) ML was formally awarded to the Company in July 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) and successfully completed a six
well development drilling campaign in H1 2025. The completion of the
development programme is a key component of the broader Galactica-Pegasus
development strategy; aimed at progressing the helium and CO(2) discoveries
to near-term commercial production.

 

This programme has seen a systematic approach to developing the extensive
Lyons Formation reservoir. The programme has delivered encouraging results, in
line with expectations, consistently encountering good helium (up to 3.3% He)
and CO2 concentrations in the target formation and demonstrating promising
flow potential. The initial Galactica wells were tied into first gas in Q4
2025, with further wells coming onstream in 2026 for both helium and CO2
production.
