Altura Energy Announces Completion of Helium Pipeline and Tie-In of Six Wells to the Processing Facility

Altura Energy Corp. (TSXV: ALTU,OTC:ALTUF) (OTCQB: ALTUF) (FSE: Y020) ("Altura" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the helium pipeline construction project and tie-in of the six initial wells to the processing facility has been completed on time and on budget. The project took a little over a month and included trenching, boring and fusion welding over 8 miles of pipeline.

"This is an important operational milestone for Altura," said Ashley Lastinger, CEO of Altura. "It is the first step in our execution plan for 2026 and allows us to focus on re-establishing production from the initial two recompleted wells and continue recompleting the additional four wells in Saddle Horse Draw."

Since acquiring 100% of the Pinta South Helium Field in September 2025, the Company has:

• Successfully recompleted two wells;
• Secured a multi-section farmout, immediately adjacent to commercial helium production with a major oil and gas company;
• Completed the helium pipeline; and
• Tied in all six wells into the processing facility.

Altura has now completed all initial infrastructure upgrades on the property and is shifting focus to re-establishing helium production.

The Company will provide further updates as commissioning progresses and production continues to ramp up.
