Why Helium?

HELIUM.
THE GAS THAT FUELS LIFE.

Industries

Aerospace+

Use

Helium gas plays a vital role in the production of rocket components and supporting launch activities. Defense, nuclear, and aerospace manufacturers use helium for detecting leaks in critical equipment such as rocket engines, and for purging and propellant transfer.

Stats

$487 Billion 

The private space exploration industry had grown and rapid rates and is now worth close to $500Bn per year.

Helium Use

Helium being inert and having a low boiling point is used as a purging gas in rockets and is also often used as a pressurizing agent, pushing the liquid fuel and oxidizer into the combustion chamber.

Industries

Technology

Use

Helium cools the superconducting magnets that make MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging work. In addition, helium is critical to semiconductor manufacturing which are used for creating digital devices such as smartphones, as well as the fiber-optic cables that give us the internet.

Stats

$600 Billion

Semiconductors are the 4th most traded commodity on earth and is a $600Bn a year industry.

CHIPS Act

The United States has allocated over $50Bn to drive repatriation of helium reliant semiconductor manufacturing to the US.

Avanti Helium Production

Facility

Use

Avanti Helium is having an HRU (Helium Recovery Unit) build on site to recover helium from its 10-21 & 11-22 wells located on the Sweetgrass pool in Greater Knappen, Montana. The facility is expected to be commissioned and running in late Q2 2024 / early  Q3 2024.

Stats

Total Gas

10 MMcf/d of raw gas to start with ability to increase to 15 MMcf/d

PROPELLING THE INDUSTRY FORWARD.

Greater Knappen is one of our strategic targeted areas with nitrogen-rich helium in multiple zones.

Avanti’s principal project, Greater Knappen, is in a geographic area with high probability of helium exploration success.  The region has all the geological criteria and considerations for conventional helium exploration; including high helium concentrations, the presence of reservoir close to the helium sources, structural features and associated traps for helium accumulations in economic quantities.  It is also in an area with proven helium production from multiple targets in the Cambrian and Devonian subsurface zones.

Plans to bring the wells on production are underway.  Avanti has signed a binding midstream agreement with IACX Resources Montana LLC to build and operate a Helium Recovery plant to initially process 10,000 mcf/d (110 mcd/d He) of total gas with an option to increase to 15,000 mcf/d (165 mcf/d He).  Initial production expected in late Q2, 2024 / early Q3 2024.

Leader is one of our strategic targeted areas with nitrogen-rich helium in multiple zones.

Saskatchewan is a favourable jurisdiction for helium prospecting.  The government of Saskatchewan released its Helium Action Plan,  which provides policy and program commitments to support and grow the entire helium value chain.  It is focused on exploration, production, innovation, processing and export infrastructure. The provincial government has also expanded the Saskatchewan Petroleum Innovation Incentive (SPII) to include helium projects (Nov 15, 2021,  Gov’t. Of Saskatchewan news release).

Avanti acquired the Saskatchewan helium permits (Leader) in 2022 based on the Company’s detailed geological models and technical assessment.  Avanti has a 100% helium interest in ~91,000 net acres and consist of 7 helium permits.
