First Helium Spuds 7-15 Exploration Well

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.

"We are excited to be 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 this well 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 this next drill, we are also excited about continuing to evaluate the multi-zone potential across our Worsley land base. Success in these stacked zones could provide meaningful additional value for our shareholders from multiple formations and commodities," added Mr. Bereznicki.

The recently drilled 7-30 development well has been cased for completion and testing. Following drilling of the 7-15 well, and 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.

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 .

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.

Oil and Gas Price Update: Q1 2025 in Review

The oil sector faced volatility throughout the first quarter of 2025.

Concerns around weak demand, increasing supply and trade tensions came to head in early April, pushing oil prices to four year lows and eroding the support Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) had above the US$65 per barrel level.

Starting the year at US$75 (Brent) and US$72 (WTI), the oil benchmarks rallied in mid-January, reaching five month highs of US$81.86 and US$78.90, respectively. Tariff threats and trade tensions between the US and China, along with soft demand in Asia and Europe, dampened the global economic outlook for 2025 and added headwinds for oil prices.

This pressure caused oil prices to slip to Q1 lows of US$69.12 (Brent) and US$66.06 (WTI) in early March.
