About First Helium Inc.
First Helium Inc. (TSXV: HELI) is a helium exploration and development company registered in British Columbia, Canada. It is focused on exploring for and developing helium reserves in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. Helium is an often overlooked commodity that has high-value economics due to its unique physical properties, with growing high-tech, industrial, medical and scientific research demand and limited new sources of supply. Its core property, located at Worsley, Alberta, Canada is anchored by a successful helium discovery well which the Company is planning to bring into production and has regional access to key helium processing and liquefaction infrastructure in the Western and Central United States. First Helium has identified numerous follow-up drill locations and acquired an expansive infrastructure system to facilitate future exploration and development of helium across its significant Worsley land base. In addition to the Worsley project, the Company has identified a number of high impact helium exploration targets on its large, prospective Southern Alberta land base to help establish a second core area.
