The CHARBONE team announced onsite construction progress at its Sorel-Tracy flagship, preparing for equipment deliveries and the start of production.
Brossard, Quebec TheNewswire - August 14, 2025 Charbone Hydrogen Corporation (TSXV: CH,OTC:CHHYF; OTCQB: CHHYF; FSE: K47) (" CHARBONE " or the " Company "), North America's only publicly traded pure-play company focused on ultra-pure green hydrogen production and distribution, is pleased to provide an update on substantial construction progress and infrastructure connections at its flagship Sorel-Tracy project.
Electrical Interconnection Completed
Earlier this week, a Hydro-Quebec team completed the electrical interconnection of the site. This involved connecting the distribution network to the first pole installed on-site, following the installation of the Hydro-Québec metering station three weeks earlier. Energy can now flow from the Hydro-Quebec grid along the site's overhead power lines to the production area, paving the way for equipment installation.
Water Supply Infrastructure Installed
Meanwhile, the Sorel-Tracy Water Department finished excavating and installing piping to link the CHARBONE site to a 14-inch main water line. This connection will ensure enough water capacity to support all five planned project phases. With both key inputs for electrolysis—electricity and water—now secured, the site is prepared to start hydrogen production once the equipment installation is finished.
Heavy civil construction equipment has arrived on-site, and CHARBONE's general contractor and subcontractor teams have begun work. Surveyors have finished all necessary site markings for the construction of buildings and production areas in preparation for the arrival of production equipment in the upcoming weeks.
During site preparation, the Quebec Ministry of the Environment (MELCCFP) identified a rare and endangered plant species—the ‘Three-awn grass'—on a small part of the property. In collaboration with experts from Tetra Tech, CHARBONE successfully relocated and protected the plant, ensuring it has a dedicated habitat on the site. "This update marks the completion of three critical milestones for our team," said Dave Gagnon, President and CEO of CHARBONE. "We are proud of the progress to date and remain on track to commence production this fall."
Closing of Shares for Debt Financing
CHARBONE is pleased to announce the closing of Shares for debt settlements amounting to $118,095. The Company has settled with a arm's length supplier $118,095 of payables through the issuance of shares. A total of 1,968,254 Shares will be issued pursuant to the closing, at a conversion price per unit of $0.06. The Company believes that the settlement of the payables through the issuance of securities is appropriate to advance towards production for its Sorel-Tracy project and the overall need to manage its cash prudently. A formal agreement will reflect any debt settlement and will be subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Any securities issued pursuant to a debt settlement will be subject to a statutory four-month hold period in Canada.
Update on closing US$1.5M in Convertible Notes
Following the Exchange's review of the closing of US$1.5M (CA$2.1M) convertible notes announced on December 4, 2024, CHARBONE will issue 2,109,900 warrants to the placement agent. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.10 or USD equivalent.

L'équipe Charbone a annoncé l'avancement des travaux de construction sur le site de son projet phare de Sorel-Tracy, se préparant aux livraisons d'équipements et au début de la production.
Brossard (Québec) TheNewswire - le 14 août 2025 - CORPORATION CHARBONE HYDROGÈNE (TSXV: CH,OTC:CHHYF OTCQB: CHHYF, FSE: K47 ) (« Charbone » ou la « Société »), une rare compagnie cotée en bourse spécialisée dans la production et la distribution d'hydrogène ultrapur vert en Amérique du Nord, est heureuse de fournir une mise-à-jour sur les progrès substantiels de la construction et les connexions d'infrastructures de son projet phare de Sorel-Tracy.
Interconnexion électrique terminée
Plus tôt cette semaine, une équipe d'Hydro-Québec a terminé l'interconnexion électrique du site. Il s'agissait de raccorder le réseau de distribution au premier poteau installé sur le site, après l'installation du poste de mesurage d'Hydro-Québec trois semaines plus tôt. L'énergie peut désormais circuler du réseau d'Hydro-Québec jusqu'à la zone de production via les lignes aériennes du site, ouvrant ainsi la voie à l'installation des équipements.
Infrastructures d'approvisionnement en eau installées
Entre-temps, le service de ses eaux de la Ville de Sorel-Tracy a terminé l'excavation et l'installation de la tuyauterie reliant le site de Charbone à une conduite d'eau principale de 14 pouces. Ce raccordement assurera une capacité d'alimentation en eau suffisante pour les cinq phases prévues du projet. Les deux principaux apports d'électricité et d'eau pour l'électrolyse étant désormais assurés, le site est prêt à démarrer la production d'hydrogène une fois l'installation des équipements terminée.
Travaux de génie civil en cours
Les machineries lourdes de génie civil sont arrivées sur le chantier, et les équipes de l'entrepreneur général et des sous-traitants de Charbone ont commencé les travaux. Les arpenteurs géomètres ont terminé le marquage du site nécessaire à la construction des bâtiments et des zones de production, en prévision de l'arrivée des équipements dans les semaines à venir.
Lors de la préparation du site, le ministère de l'Environnement du Québec (MELCCFP) a identifié une espèce végétale rare et menacée – l'Aristide à rameaux – sur une petite partie de la propriété. En collaboration avec les experts de Tetra Tech, Charbone a réussi à relocaliser et à protéger la plante, lui assurant ainsi un habitat dédié sur le site. « Cette mise à jour marque la réalisation de trois étapes cruciales pour notre équipe », a déclaré Dave Gagnon, président-directeur général de Charbone. « Nous sommes fiers des progrès réalisés à ce jour et maintenons le cap pour le début de la production cet automne. »
Clôture d'un financement de règlement de dettes par actions
Charbone a le plaisir d'annoncer la clôture d'une émission d'actions pour règlement de dettes totalisant 118 095 $. La Société a réglé avec un fournisseur sans lien de dépendance 118 095 $ de dettes par l'émission d'actions. Un total de 1 968 254 actions seront émises à la clôture, à un prix de conversion unitaire de 0,06 $. La Société estime que le règlement des dettes par l'émission de titres est approprié pour progresser vers la production de son projet Sorel-Tracy et pour répondre à la nécessité générale de gérer sa trésorerie avec prudence. Une entente officielle reflétera tout règlement de dettes et sera soumise à l'approbation de la Bourse de croissance TSX. Tout titre émis dans le cadre d'un règlement de dettes sera assujetti à une période de détention légale de quatre mois au Canada.
Mise-à-jour sur la clôture de billets convertibles de 1,5 million de dollars américains
À la suite de l'examen par la Bourse de la clôture des obligations convertibles de 1,5 M$ US (2,1 M$ CA) annoncée le 4 décembre 2024, Charbone émettra 2 109 900 bons de souscription à l'agent de placement.

Demand for helium is rising alongside the semiconductor, healthcare and nuclear energy sectors.
Produced from natural gas wells, helium is an odorless, colorless, non-toxic, non-combustible and non-corrosive gas. While it may bring to mind birthday balloons, the element is an important industrial gas due to its cooling properties.
Helium has several critical applications across various industries witnessing market growth, including the manufacturing of semiconductors and electronics, medical imaging and nuclear power generation.
Global helium supply is mainly attributable to production at liquefaction facilities spread across the US, Qatar, Algeria, Russia, Australia, Canada, Poland and China. However, increasing demand for helium as an industrial gas is spurring further exploration and development of helium projects, including in Canada and in the US.
Several Canadian helium companies are advancing projects in North America and beyond. Below, the Investing News Network lists the top helium stocks in Canada by market cap in 2025. All market caps figures were current as of August 7, 2025, with data gathered using TradingView’s stock screener.
Market cap: C$46.05 million
Pulsar Helium is a helium project development company with assets in the United States and Greenland.
The company's Topaz project in Minnesota is the newest helium discovery in the US, and drilling at its Jetstream #1 well in 2024 demonstrated high helium concentrations of 14.5 percent. Pulsar is also the first company in Greenland to obtain a license for helium exploration. According to the company, its Tunu helium-geothermal project in the country is one of just a few primary helium projects in Europe.
At Topaz, Pulsar is conducting a well flow testing program at the Jetstream prospect during the summer to gain data necessary to assess the project's production potential. As for Tunu, a pre-feasibility study is underway at the project and is slated for completion by the end of August 2025.
Market cap: C$18.84 million
Next up on this list of top Canadian helium stocks is Desert Mountain Energy, a company engaged in the exploration, development and production of helium, hydrogen, natural gas and condensate projects in the US. Its key helium project is the West Pecos gas field in New Mexico, where it has a fully operational helium processing facility. It also owns the high-grade Holbrook Basin helium project in Arizona.
In 2025, Desert Mountain Energy is expanding into the international market with the formation of its wholly owned subsidiary Desert Energy UK, which has secured a substantial onshore exploration license for helium and hydrogen in Devon, United Kingdom.
Market cap: C$12.07 million
Helium Evolution is a helium exploration company with over 5 million acres of helium land rights in Southern Saskatchewan, Canada. The company holds a 20 percent working interest in helium wells on joint lands with North American Helium, which is advancing the joint 2-31 discovery, with development wells planned for late 2025.
Earlier this year, Helium Evolution formed a collaboration agreement and secured a substantial investment from ENEOS Explora USA, a subsidiary of Japanese energy conglomerate ENEOS Group (TSE:5020), through two private placements. The second, closed in May, brought ENEOS' total stake in Helium Evolution to about 28 percent.
Market cap: C$11.97 million
Avanti Helium’s helium exploration and development assets include approximately 78,000 acres within the Greater Knappen area, which covers land in both Southern Alberta, Canada, and Northwest Montana, US. It also owns approximately 63,000 acres of prospective helium permits within Southwest Saskatchewan.
Avanti’s Sweetgrass pool project in Montana is on track to achieve helium production in Q4 of 2025, the company stated in its April investor presentation. The company has two wells at Sweetgrass capable of total gas production of approximately 18,500 million cubic feet per day at 1.1 percent helium.
In August, Avanti announced it signed a multi-year offtake agreement with a global industrial gas supplier for a minimum monthly helium purchase volume equivalent to about one third of Sweetgrass' initial plant output.
Market cap: C$8.21 million
Altura Energy is an exploration and production company which holds 27,000 acres in the Holbrook basin of Arizona, where its wells produce helium at concentrations of 5 percent to 8 percent. The company has a development plan for over 300 wells, with nine wells currently connected to a pipeline and an additional 10 wells at various stages of completion.
Formerly known as Total Helium, the company completed a name change and share consolidation in May 2025. In June, Altura announced it closed an up-sized brokered private placement for C$1.99 million, a quarter of which was used to settle outstanding indebtedness, with proceeds also planned for working capital.

Provaris Energy’s (ASX:PV1,OTC:GBBLF) innovative hydrogen storage technology presents a compelling investment opportunity leveraging the global transition to low-carbon energy, a recent analyst report from RaaS Research Group said.
Provaris’ ‘storage tank’ IP enables greater volumes of compressed gases to be transported at lower cost, underpinning a fundamental change in the economics of the hydrogen supply chain, according to the report.
“The company holds a material early-mover advantage with a number of strategic partnerships and two hydrogen supply, offtake and shipping agreements expected to become unconditional over the next 12 months,” RaaS added.
The analysis highlights several factors contributing to Povaris’ investment value proposition: hydrogen as a critical element essential to the growing alternative energy supply chain; Povaris’ use of Norwegian renewable energy ensuring compliance with EU fuel standards; and Povaris’ innovative ‘capital-lite’ financial model for early cash.
