NEWS RELEASE | NOVEMBER 20, 2024 | CASCAIS, PORTUGAL
PULSAR HELIUM SIGNS AGREEMENT WITH CHART INDUSTRIES FOR HELIUM AND CO2 CAPTURE
AND PRODUCTION
Pulsar Helium Inc. (AIM: PLSR, TSXV: PLSR, OTCQB: PSRHF) ("Pulsar" or the
"Company"), the helium project development company, is pleased to announce
that its wholly owned Minnesotan subsidiary, Keewaydin Resources Inc., has
signed an agreement (the "Agreement") with Earthly Labs, a subsidiary of Chart
Industries (NYSE: GTLS, market capitalisation approx. USD$7.1 billion), a
leading supplier of industrial gas processing plant and equipment. The
Agreement outlines a procurement roadmap, specific to Pulsar's needs, and
facilitates access to advanced gas processing technologies, including helium
and carbon dioxide capture, essential for servicing a potential production
scenario at Pulsar's flagship Topaz project in Minnesota ("Topaz").
The Agreement sets out the following principal terms for how the parties could
work together, which would be further detailed in a master services agreement
to be entered into:
• Pulsar would agree to purchase the Chart carbon capture
solution to capture helium and CO2 from Topaz, allowing Pulsar to monetise
these products, whilst also reducing its emissions
• Under the terms of the agreement, Chart will complete
engineering studies and provide helium and CO2 plant and storage
recommendations for Pulsar
Thomas Abraham-James, President & CEO of Pulsar, commented: "We are
thrilled to have signed an Agreement with Chart Industries, the gold standard
when it comes to gas processing equipment. We look forward to working towards
the signing of a master service agreement and utilising this impressive
cutting-edge technology. This development is one of great significance for
Pulsar, as it is in line with our commitment to realise production at Topaz
whilst monetising both its helium and CO2 products, all while reducing
emissions. The additional benefit of Earthly Labs and Chart carrying out
engineering studies means that we will reduce third-party costs, while
reducing risk and time-to-value."
Details of the Agreement
The Agreement states that Keewaydin Resources Inc. and Earthly Labs will work
together to enter into a binding agreement under which Earthly Labs will sell
its CiCi (Elm) carbon capture solution to Keewaydin Resources Inc. The CiCi
(Elm) solution includes CO2 capture, purification and liquefaction technology,
commissioning, and training.
Under the terms of the Agreement, Earthly Labs will complete an engineering
study for a CO2 plant, which will include P&ID and heat, material balance
and helium recoveries. Chart will provide recommendations on a helium plant
design and CO2 storage tanks made in Minnesota.

About the Topaz Helium Project
The Jetstream #1 appraisal well was drilled at the Company's Topaz Helium
Project in Minnesota, USA in February 2024. The well successfully flowed
helium-bearing gas to surface, with helium concentrations in the range of 8.7
- 14.5%. Following the successful drilling and testing of Jetstream #1, the
Company intends to maintain momentum and has accordingly signed a new drilling
contract with Capstar Drilling to deepen the well by approximately 500m to
fully penetrate the entire interpreted helium-bearing zone. The rig is
scheduled to commence drilling in December 2024 with all necessary site
improvements and permits in place.
