Helium Evolution Incorporated (TSXV:HEVI)
("
HEVI" or the "
Company"), a
Canadian-based helium exploration company focused on developing
assets in southern Saskatchewan, is pleased to announce preliminary
test results from its 10-1-4-9W3 helium discovery well (the
“
10-1 Well”) along the Mankota helium fairway.
HEVI holds a 20% working interest in the 10-1 Well, in partnership
with the operator, North American Helium Inc.
(“
NAH”).
Completion, perforation and initial production
testing of the 10-1 Well is ongoing. At the end of a 4-day extended
flow testing period, the 10-1 Well was producing approximately 9.5
million standard cubic feet per day (“MMscf/d”) at
10,800 kilopascal (“kPa”) flowing tubing pressure.
The preliminary test also confirmed a helium content of 0.75%,
significantly higher than the commercially viable threshold of
0.3%. Additionally, the 10-1 Well produced negligible water,
indicating strong potential for efficient helium recovery and
processing.
After the extended production flow period, the
10-1 Well will be shut in for 14 days to collect reservoir pressure
data, which will be analyzed to further evaluate the resource’s
potential.

1 The 10-01 Well is currently in the final
stages of extended flow testing. Preliminary results are subject to
further analysis.2 Well located at 9-35-3-9W3 (the “9-35
Well”)3 Well located at 2-31-2-8W3 (the “2-31
Well”)
Looking ahead, HEVI continues to work closely
with NAH to plan the next phase of development. This includes the
drilling of a joint well at 10-36-3-9W3 (the “10-36
Well”), which is expected to spud on or around January 2,
2025, subject to surface conditions. The 10-36 Well is designed to
further delineate the helium pool and support the continued
expansion of the project. HEVI intends to participate in the 10-36
Well, with the estimated total cost for HEVI’s share being
approximately $0.4 million. A portion of this cost will be paid for
in-kind, with HEVI contributing spare casing inventory to the
project.
In addition to drilling activities, NAH is
evaluating the installation of processing facilities in the area,
which HEVI fully supports. The installation of a processing
facility will be contingent upon positive evaluation of results in
Q1-2025. The establishment of processing facilities is an essential
step in HEVI’s broader strategy to move toward commercial helium
production.

About Helium Evolution
Incorporated
Helium Evolution is a Canadian-based helium
exploration company holding the largest helium land rights position
in North America among publicly-traded companies, focused on
developing assets in southern Saskatchewan. The Company has over
five million acres of land under permit near proven discoveries of
economic helium concentrations which will support scaling the
exploration and development efforts across its land base. HEVI’s
management and board are executing a differentiated strategy to
become a leading supplier of sustainably-produced helium for the
growing global helium market.

conditions "will," "would," "may," "could" or "should" occur.
Forward-looking statements in this document
include statements regarding the Company’s expectations regarding
future production from the 2-31 Well, the 9-35 Well and the 10-1
Well, the Company’s expectations regarding scalable helium
production from its land generally, the Company and/or NAH’s plans
with respect to shutting in the 10-1 Well for a 14-day period and
the interpretation of results, in-kind contribution of casing
inventory, the evaluation of results in Q1-2025, the Company and/or
NAH’s plans with respect to drilling the 10-36 Well and
constructing a facility, the Company’s intention to participate in
