First Helium Completes Drilling 7-15 Well & Cases for Completion and Testing

First Helium Completes Drilling 7-15 Well & Cases for Completion and Testing

First Helium Inc. ("First Helium" or the "Company") (TSXV: HELI) (OTCQB: FHELF) (FRA: 2MC) today announced that it has completed drilling its 7-15 exploration well at its Worsley Property in Northern Alberta. The 7-15 well has been cased for completion and testing. The Company is now proceeding with a plan to complete and test both the 7-30 and 7-15 wells.

"We are pleased to have completed drilling our 7-15 well which was delivered on time and within budget, despite drilling during challenging winter conditions. We look forward to completing and testing both wells over the coming weeks," said Ed Bereznicki, President & CEO of First Helium.

The proximity of the two locations (see Figure 1), approximately 6 kilometers apart, will enable the Company to efficiently complete and test both wells. Subject to results, necessary preparations are being made to complete, equip and tie-in both wells prior to spring break up in Alberta (a period from mid/late March through May when Provincial highway restrictions limit heavy equipment movement), further setting the stage for systematic development across the Company's extensive, 100% owned land base.

ABOUT First Helium

First Helium holds over 53,000 acres along the highly prospective Worsley Trend in Northern Alberta which has been the core of its exploration and development drilling activities to date.

Building on its successful 15-25 helium discovery well, and 1-30 and 4-29 oil wells 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 across its Worsley land base. Cash flow from its successful oil wells at Worsley has helped support First Helium's ongoing exploration and development growth strategy. Further potential oil drilling locations have also been identified on the Company's Worsley land base.

First Helium Spuds 7-15 Exploration Well

First Helium Inc. ("First Helium" or the "Company") (TSXV: HELI) (OTCQB: FHELF) (FRA: 2MC) today announced that it has begun drilling its high impact Leduc anomaly, the 7-15 well, at its Worsley Property in Northern Alberta. The location was identified on proprietary 3D seismic data interpreted last spring. In addition to the primary Leduc formation target, the Company will be evaluating multiple uphole zones for oil, natural gas and helium. These zones have been previously identified on First Helium wells and in other existing well bores on, and around the Company's Worsley land base. The Company will continue to provide regular updates on ongoing field activities.

First Helium Spuds 7-30 Undeveloped Light Oil Well at Worsley

First Helium Inc. ("First Helium" or the "Company") (TSXV: HELI) (OTCQB: FHELF) (FRA: 2MC) today announced that it has begun drilling its proven undeveloped ("PUD") 7-30 oil location at its Worsley Property in Northern Alberta 1,2 . Following drilling of the 7-30 vertical well, the contractor's drilling rig will move directly to the 7-15 location to begin drilling in early February, barring any unforeseen delays. The Company will continue to provide regular updates on ongoing field activities.

"We are excited to be drilling again - starting with our 7-30 light oil development well which spudded this past weekend. We will follow up by drilling our high impact Leduc anomaly, 7-15, which on seismic is approximately 5X the areal extent of our successful 1-30 light oil pool discovery. Favorable results from these two wells will further de-risk our Leduc Play, where we have identified 10 additional primary locations on proprietary 3D seismic, and potential for further southeast extension across our 100% owned lands," said Ed Bereznicki, President & CEO of First Helium. "With success, the combined oil potential from these two operations would provide immediate cash flow and meaningful near-term value for our shareholders," added Mr. Bereznicki.

Ontario Backs Down on Key Bill 5 Provisions, Echoes BC’s Mining Debate

Ontario’s Conservative provincial government is retreating from elements of its controversial Bill 5 following weeks of intense pressure from First Nations leaders.

They have accused Premier Doug Ford’s administration of violating its constitutional duty to consult Indigenous communities on critical minerals development in the province's far north.

In a move aimed at quelling growing unrest, Ford’s office confirmed on Wednesday (May 28) that it will introduce an amendment that explicitly incorporates the constitutional duty to consult into the bill, a key demand from Indigenous leaders who have denounced the legislation as a sweeping overreach that sidelines their rights.
