DESERT MOUNTAIN ENERGY APPOINTS TIMOTHY S. ORR, Esq. AS COO, ADVANCES "PROJECT HELIOS." THE FUTURE OF AI POWER & DEFENCE INFRASTRUCTURE

Desert Mountain Energy Corp. (the "Company") (TSX.V: DME) (U.S. OTC: DMEHF) (Frankfurt: QM01) from the President of the Company. DME is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Timothy S. Orr, Esq. as Chief Operating Officer. This leadership addition signals the Company's strategic positioning as a critical utility provider through Project Helios, a strategic initiative to deploy dedicated energy, cooling solutions, and Helium supplies for Digital Infrastructure, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Defense sectors.

Mr. Orr joins the executive team with over 25 years of experience across public company management, corporate law, and high-growth venture leadership. As a licensed attorney with a background in complex asset acquisitions and operational execution, Mr. Orr will oversee the physical and regulatory build-out of the Company's utility-scale infrastructure. His primary focus will include:

  • Infrastructure Scaling: Directing the development of midstream assets, including the 14.5-mile pipeline and salt cavern storage facilities required to provide "always-on" power.
  • U.S. Exchange Readiness: Planning the Company's uplisting to a senior U.S. Exchange to reflect its evolution from a resource explorer to a midstream helium & utility provider.
  • Corporate Governance: Implementing institutional-grade compliance and SEC-level reporting to support long-term infrastructure contracts with defense and tech partners.

"We are energized by this addition to our leadership team. Mr. Orr's hands-on operational experience is exactly what Desert Mountain needs as we solidify our role as a primary utility provider for the next generation of AI and defense infrastructure," said Robert Rohlfing, CEO.

Project Helios: Providing Essential Utility for AI & Defense

Project Helios marks Desert Mountain's emergence as a specialized utility provider. The initiative addresses the critical "power gap" in the AI revolution by providing a vertically integrated energy loop:

  • Energy-as-a-Service: Utilizing Company-owned natural gas to generate local, reliable electricity dedicated to high-capacity data centers and AI training hubs.
  • Critical Cooling Infrastructure: Scaling production of Helium-3 and Helium-4, the essential non-renewable utilities required for supercomputing and quantum processors.
  • Strategic Defense Alignment: During the recent Department of Defense (DOW) symposium in Phoenix, AZ, management engaged with NATO, the UK MoD, and the US DoE. Discussions focused on the secure supply of rare gases and energy for industry titans, including Lockheed Martin, RTX, Gore, and Seekr (Mission First AI).
