NEWS RELEASE | JANUARY 5, 2026 | CASCAIS, PORTUGAL

PULSAR HELIUM ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF MICHIGAN HELIUM EXPLORATION
ASSETS-FOCUSED GAS EXPLORATION COMPANY

Pulsar Helium Inc. (AIM: PLSR, TSXV: PLSR, OTCQB: PSRHF) ("Pulsar" or the
"Company"), a primary helium exploration and development company, is pleased
to announce that it has acquired 100% of Hybrid Hydrogen Inc. ("Hybrid") for
total consideration of US$80,000 (the "Transaction"), superseding the
all-share structure previously announced on October 27, 2025. Hybrid's primary
asset is an exclusive mineral rights option to lease covering approximately
5,742 gross acres in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, targeting non-hydrocarbon
gases (primarily helium). This strategic acquisition marks Pulsar's first
entry into Michigan, a jurisdiction with a well-established gas regulatory
framework now being applied to helium exploration, and forms part of the
Company's broader initiative to expand its Upper Midwest footprint.

Highlights:

•           Helium-Focused Land Package: Hybrid holds an exclusive
option to lease for mineral rights for non-hydrocarbon gases in Michigan's
Upper Peninsula (~5,742 acres). These rights provide Pulsar with a foothold in
a geologically prospective new region for helium exploration.

•          Low-Cost Acquisition: The minimal cash outlay of US$80,000
allows Pulsar to expand its asset base without significantly impacting its
treasury, ensuring the Company's resources remain focused on the flagship
Topaz helium project in Minnesota.

•         Alignment with Growth Strategy: Expansion into Michigan aligns
with Pulsar's strategy of leveraging Topaz expertise into geologically similar
regions, reinforcing the Company's disciplined helium-focused growth
trajectory.

Thomas Abraham-James, President & CEO of Pulsar, commented:

"This is a remarkably low-cost entry into Michigan that strengthens our helium
exploration portfolio. The Michigan acreage is geologically analogous to our
Topaz project, offering a technically familiar growth opportunity. For a
modest price, we are expanding into an area where we can leverage our team's
existing expertise, all while staying true to our disciplined, helium-focused
expansion strategy."

Terms of the Transaction

Pulsar acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Hybrid from
Hybrid's shareholders for total cash consideration of US$80,000.The
Transaction is an arm's-length deal, involving no related parties.

Strategic Rationale for the Acquisition

The Michigan mineral rights are situated in a geologic setting analogous to
Pulsar's Topaz helium project in Minnesota. The acreage lies within an ancient
sedimentary basin underlain by crystalline basement rocks, similar to the
helium-producing Archaean basement at Topaz. Helium is generated from the
decay of uranium and thorium in these basement granites, migrating upward into
overlying porous sedimentary reservoirs where it can accumulate beneath
impermeable seals.

Through its work at Topaz, Pulsar has developed strong expertise in
identifying helium migration pathways, mapping subsurface structures, and
recognizing key seals and traps for helium accumulation. Leveraging this
experience, the Company sees a logical, lower-risk opportunity to discover
additional helium resources in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The Board believes
that expanding into geologically familiar regions such as Michigan is a
prudent way to grow the portfolio while maintaining technical focus.
Importantly, Pulsar emphasizes that it remains solely focused on helium
exploration and is not pursuing hydrogen, consistent with its core objective
of becoming a major helium producer.

About the Topaz Project

The Topaz Project is located in northern Minnesota, USA, where Pulsar is the
first mover in helium exploration and holds exclusive leases over the project
area. Topaz is a primary helium discovery that contains helium-4, helium-3 and
CO2, not associated with primarily hydrocarbon production. Multiple wells
drilled by Pulsar have confirmed a laterally extensive helium-rich gas
reservoir beneath the project lands. Notably, two wells drilled at Topaz, both
with high helium concentrations averaging 8.1% in Jetstream #1 and 5.6% in
Jetstream #2, measured during flow-testing, and the presence of helium-3 (a
rare and valuable isotope) has been confirmed in gas samples taken from
Jetstream #1. These results appear to indicate a high-quality helium resource.
The ongoing Jetstream multi-well appraisal program at Topaz is designed to map
out the reservoir's extent, pressure regime, and gas composition, which will
inform resource estimation and development planning.

Qualified Person Signoff

In accordance with the AIM Note for Mining and Oil and Gas Companies, the
Company discloses that Brad Cage, VP Engineering and Officer of the Company
has reviewed the technical information contained herein. Mr. Cage has
approximately 25 years in the oil and gas industry, is a member of the Society
of Petroleum Engineers and is a licensed professional petroleum engineer in
Oklahoma, USA.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains forward-looking information within the meaning of
Canadian securities legislation (collectively, "forward-looking statements")
that relate to the Company's current expectations and views of future events.
Any statements that express, or involve discussions as to, expectations,
beliefs, plans, objectives, 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. Forward-looking
statements herein include, but are not limited to, statements relating to the
statements regarding the potential of the Hybrid exploration properties,
bringing the Topaz project to production, anticipated full plant construction
contract in 2026, final investment decision being made in 2026, the potential
impact of the drill results, flow testing and pressure testing on the next
iteration of the resource estimate; the potential of CO2 and/or Helium-3 as a
valuable by-product of the Company's future helium production; and the
potential for future wells. Forward-looking statements may involve estimates
and are based upon assumptions made by management of the Company, including,
but not limited to, the Company's capital cost estimates, management's
expectations regarding the availability of capital to fund the Company's
future capital and operating requirements and the ability to obtain all
requisite regulatory approvals.

No reserves have been assigned in connection with the Company's property
interests to date, given their early stage of development. The future value of
the Company is therefore dependent on the success or otherwise of its
activities, which are principally directed toward the future exploration,
appraisal and development of its assets, and potential acquisition of property
interests in the future. Un-risked Contingent and Prospective Helium Volumes
have been defined at the Topaz Project. However, estimating helium volumes is
subject to significant uncertainties associated with technical data and the
interpretation of that data, future commodity prices, and development and
operating costs. There can be no guarantee that the Company will successfully
convert its helium volume to reserves and produce that estimated volume.
Estimates may alter significantly or become more uncertain when new
information becomes available due to for example, additional drilling or
production tests over the life of field. As estimates change, development and
production plans may also vary. Downward revision of helium volume estimates
may adversely affect the Company's operational or financial performance.

Helium volume estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge,
experience and industry practice. These estimates are imprecise and depend to
some extent on interpretations, which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate
and require adjustment or, even if valid when originally calculated, may alter
significantly when new information or techniques become available. As further
information becomes available through additional drilling and analysis the
estimates are likely to change. Any adjustments to volume could affect the
Company's exploration and development plans which may, in turn, affect the
Company's performance. The process of estimating helium resources is complex
and requires significant decisions and assumptions to be made in evaluating
the reliability of available geological, geophysical, engineering, and
economic date for each property. Different engineers may make different
estimates of resources, cash flows, or other variables based on the same
available data.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties,
many of which are beyond the 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, that Pulsar may be unsuccessful in drilling
commercially productive wells; the uncertainty of resource estimation;
operational risks in conducting exploration, including that drill costs may be
higher than estimates ; commodity prices; health, safety and environmental
factors; and other factors set forth above as well as risk factors included in
the Company's Annual Information Form dated July 31, 2025 for the year ended
September 30, 2024 found under Company's profile on www.sedarplus.ca
(http://www.sedarplus.ca) .

Forward-looking statements contained in this news release are as of the date
of this news release, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or
revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. New factors
emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict
all of them or assess the impact of each such factor or the extent to which
any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially
from those contained in any forward-looking statement. No assurance can be
given that the forward-looking statements herein will prove to be correct and,
accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. Any forward-looking statements contained in this news release are
expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
