First Helium Bolsters Financial Position in March - Receives $1.25 Million for February 1-30 Production and $1.85 Million in Warrants Exercises

TSXV: HELI    OTCQB: FHELF    FRA: 2MC

First Helium Inc. ("First Helium" or the "Company") (TSXV: HELI) (OTCQB: FHELF) (FRA: 2MC), today announced a significant positive change to the Company's balance sheet based on ongoing payments from light oil production and cash proceeds from the exercise of previously issued warrants.

First Helium Inc. (TSXV: HELI) (CNW Group/First Helium Inc.)

Strong revenues continue through the receipt of payments of $1.25 million for light oil volumes delivered during February from the "1-30" well which is located on First Helium's 100% owned, 79,000 acre Worsley landholdings in Northern Alberta , Canada.  The 1-30 well was brought on-stream on January 23, 2022 , and produced an average of approximately 430 barrels per day ("bbls/d") of light oil during the month of February.  The Company also recently announced the successful drilling, completion and testing of its 4-29 light oil discovery well and  estimates that it will receive payment in April of approximately $100,000 for volumes of oil produced during the testing operations.

In addition, during the month of March First Helium has received proceeds of approximately $1,490,500 from the exercise of 2,981,082 warrants with a strike price of $0.50 and approximately $359,000 from the recent exercise of 1,025,812 broker warrants with a strike price of $0.35 .  Also, in an effort to broaden its potential investor base, First Helium's common shares began trading in the U.S.; its listing was upgraded to the OTCQB on March 14, 2022 , under ticker "FHELF".

"The 1-30 well continues to perform very strongly and we look forward to bringing the 4-29 well on stream next month," said Ed Bereznicki , President & CEO of First Helium. "Total cash proceeds of approximately $3.2 million from the early exercise of warrants along with cash flow from the two wells will be deployed to help support ongoing helium exploration activities at our Worsley Property and our Southern Alberta Helium Fairway exploration land," added Mr. Bereznicki.

Led by a core Senior Executive Team with diverse and extensive backgrounds in Oil & Gas Exploration and Operations, Mining, Finance, and Capital Markets, First Helium seeks to be one of the leading independent providers of helium gas in North America .

Building on its successful 15-25 helium discovery well at the Worsley project, the Company has identified numerous follow-up drill locations and acquired an expansive infrastructure system to facilitate future exploration and development of helium across its Worsley land base.  Cash flow from its successful 1-30 and 4-29 oil wells at Worsley will help support First Helium's ongoing helium exploration and development growth strategy.

First Helium holds over 79,000 acres along the highly prospective Worsley Trend in Northern Alberta , and 276,000 acres in the Southern Alberta Helium Fairway, near existing helium production.  In addition to continuing its ongoing exploration and development drilling at Worsley , the Company has identified a number of high impact helium exploration targets on the prospective Southern Alberta Helium Fairway lands to set up a second core exploration growth area for the Company.

First Helium Reminds Participants of Webinar to Present High Impact Exploration Targets for Fall of 2024

First Helium Inc. ("First Helium" or the "Company") (TSXV: HELI) (OTCQB: FHELF) (FRA: 2MC) today confirmed details of a webinar to highlight First Helium's plans to test key exploration targets at the Company's 100% owned Worsley property in Northern Alberta during the fourth quarter of 2024. Based on a thorough evaluation of recently acquired proprietary 3D seismic data, the Company has identified a significant anomaly in the Leduc Formation which it believes to be prospective for oil.

"We are planning to undertake a number of operations later this year, including testing a large 3D seismic anomaly to target Leduc oil, and completing a previously drilled horizontal well to target Blue Ridge helium-enriched natural gas. If successful, these operations will set the stage for immediate cash flow for the Company, coupled with the accelerated development of oil and helium enriched natural gas at Worsley, executed alone or with larger partners," said Ed Bereznicki, President & CEO of First Helium.

Toronto Stock Exchange, Aclara Resources Inc., The View from the C-Suite

Toronto Stock Exchange, Aclara Resources Inc., The View from the C-Suite

Ramon Barua, Chief Executive Officer, Aclara Resources Inc. ("Aclara Resources" or the "Company") (TSX: ARA), shares their Company's story in an interview with TMX Group.

The View From The C-Suite video interview series highlights the unique perspectives of listed companies on Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange. Videos provide insight into how company executives think in the current business environment. To see the latest View From The C-Suite visit https://www.tsx.com/en/c-suite

About Aclara Resources Inc. (TSX: ARA)

Aclara Resources Inc. (TSX: ARA) is a development-stage company that focuses on heavy rare earth mineral resources hosted in Ion-Adsorption Clay deposits. The Company's rare earth mineral resource development projects include the Penco Module in the Bio-Bio Region of Chile and the Carina Module in the State of Goiás, Brazil.

Aclara's rare earth extraction process offers several environmentally attractive features. Circular mineral harvesting does not involve blasting, crushing, or milling, and therefore does not generate tailings and eliminates the need for a tailing's storage facility. The extraction process developed by Aclara minimizes water consumption through high levels of water recirculation made possible by the inclusion of a water treatment facility within its patented process design. The ionic clay feedstock is amenable to leaching with a common fertilizer main reagent, ammonium sulfate. In addition to the development of the Penco Module and the Carina Module, the Company will continue to identify and evaluate opportunities to increase future production of heavy rare earths through greenfield exploration programs and the development of additional projects within the Company's current concessions in Brazil, Chile, and Peru.

Aclara has decided to vertically integrate its rare earths concentrate production towards the manufacturing of rare earths alloys. The Company has established a U.S.-based subsidiary, Aclara Technologies Inc., which will focus on developing technologies for rare earth separation, metals, and alloys. Additionally, the Company is advancing its metals and alloys business through a joint venture with CAP S.A., leveraging CAP's extensive expertise in metal refining and special ferro-alloyed steels.
