Home to the largest helium purification facility in Canada and one of the most highly concentrated helium resources in the world, the province of Saskatchewan is an emerging jurisdiction for helium exploration and production. With its proximity to the US, one of the world’s largest helium consumers, the province is accelerating the development of its helium sector.
Through the Helium Action Plan, launched in 2021, the Saskatchewan government aims to improve its competitiveness and increase investments across the helium value chain: from exploration and production to innovation, processing and exports.
Helium Evolution (TSXV:HEVI) is a Canadian helium exploration and production company focused on developing its helium assets in southern Saskatchewan. It’s leveraging Saskatchewan’s value proposition as a ‘green’ alternative to harvesting helium as a byproduct of natural gas. HEVI owns land rights to approximately 5.6 million acres, representing the largest land package in Canada controlled by a public entity.
HEVI’s land package is located in a helium-rich area and in close proximity to the US market, which is among the largest helium consumers in the world.
HEVI selected southern Saskatchewan for a variety of reasons. First, the decaying uranium in the area’s basement rocks has produced significant helium reserves throughout southern Saskatchewan. Second, Helium Evolution’s target geological formation, known as “The Deadwood”, contains up to 2 percent proven helium content alongside more than 95 percent nitrogen content. Existing geophysical data is readily available and will help Helium Evolution select the best drill targets.
Why does this matter? The presence of nitrogen as the carrier gas allows Helium Evolution to vent the gas in an environmentally friendly manner while also providing cost advantages during the helium extraction and liquefaction processes. Additionally, drilling for helium is similar to extracting conventional natural gas, meaning there’s no need for specialized equipment, and management’s existing oil and gas development expertise can be leveraged. Low-cost vertical drilling is all that’s required for HEVI to begin extraction.
HEVI’s unique competitive advantage comes in the form of a farm-out agreement with and a $3.5-million equity investment by North American Helium (NAH). The farm-out deal enables NAH to drill five development wells on HEVI land, with an option for two additional wells, offering HEVI near-term drilling catalysts that can accelerate cash flow generation without incurring up-front capital costs, all while retaining 99 percent of its land base.
The agreement also provides HEVI, at no cost, NAH’s proprietary seismic recently used to drill three successful and producing NAH wells in the Mankota area, giving HEVI greater insight and valuable data that can be used in identifying future targets.
HEVI’s landholding is adjacent to NAH’s discovery of two helium pools at Mankota and Cadillac. The Mankota Pool is a nitrogen-rich reserve with helium concentrations of 0.94 percent to 1.08 percent.
HEVI land is adjacent to NAH’s Cadillac and Mankota Discoveries
In November 2023, HEVI made its first joint helium discovery with NAH following the completion of the Deadwood zone and initial testing of the joint well drilled at 2-31-2-8W3 (Joint Well #1). The well underwent a series of tests to confirm flow rates, reservoir boundaries and gas composition, all of which represent important data points to help inform future development plans in the area. Joint Well #1 had helium concentrations of 0.95 percent – more than three times the 0.3 percent level deemed commercially viable – and 96 percent nitrogen. This gas composition is consistent with NAH's producing helium pool 15 kilometers to the north, supporting HEVI's belief that the area offers meaningful potential for commercial helium development.
HEVI is led by an impressive management team with a combined 150 years of resource development experience, including engineering, geological and executive management across the corporate landscape. CEO Greg Robb boasts 35 years of direct experience in Western Canada, where he focused on the acquisition and development of natural resources in the region. Patrick Mills, COO, brings over three decades of executive, managerial and engineering experience in Western Canada. Kristi Kunec, CFO, brings over 15 years of financial experience to HEVI, with a proven track record that includes leading the corporate finance, organizational planning and financial reporting functions for growing resource companies. Furthermore, vice-president John Kanderka has 40 years of directly applicable experience in the energy and mineral sectors, serving as an officer in both public and private entities. The management team is complemented by a strong board of directors, including the former premier of Saskatchewan, Brad Wall.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, HEVI continued to execute on its focused strategy of developing the Company's 5.6 million acres of helium rights in southern Saskatchewan. With three recent helium discoveries, HEVI has made considerable progress on its ultimate goal of producing and selling helium, generating cash flow and driving positive returns for shareholders. HEVI has remained committed to maintaining ongoing financial flexibility, as evidenced by the Company's positive working capital position of $4.7 million at June 30, 2024, excluding $0.8 million of tubing and casing that was pre-purchased but not yet utilized.
Operations Update
HEVI is also pleased to provide an operations update, including stimulation results from the helium discovery well at 9-18-3- 8W3 (the " 9-18 Well ") at Mankota, in which HEVI maintains a 20% working interest alongside its partner and the operator of the 9-18 Well, North American Helium Inc. (" NAH ").
HEVI and NAH are strategically planning to embark on an ambitious drilling program, with up to nine joint development wells (the " New Wells ") that are expected to build on the three existing helium discoveries in the Mankota area of Saskatchewan, each of which is described in more detail below. To date, surface and environmental restrictions have prevented access to certain parts of Mankota, resulting in some deferrals of drilling, testing and other operating activities in the area. Given this seasonal shift, go forward development at Mankota will be targeted through the upcoming winter months, when restrictions are eased and access allowed.
For context, the map shown here demonstrates the positioning of each of HEVI's helium discovery wells, future drilling targets and the processing facility licensed at 12-30-2-8W3 (the " 12- 30 Facility ").

Helium Evolution Incorporated (TSXV:HEVI) (" HEVI " or the " Company "), a Canadian-based helium exploration company focused on developing assets in southern Saskatchewan, is pleased to provide an update regarding its Mankota helium discoveries.
The 9-18-3-8W3 well (" 9-18 Well ") stimulation is now anticipated to take place later in June or in July 2024. The delay is due to higher than normal rainfall in the Mankota area, which has impacted the surface conditions and postponed the start of the 9-18 Well stimulation.
Looking ahead, HEVI is diligently working on acquiring surface leases for multi drilling locations on four sections of recently acquired land, in which the Company holds a 100% working interest (" 4 Crown Sections "). In addition, HEVI and its partner, North American Helium Inc. (" NAH "), are working together to finalize drilling locations and acquire surface leases for up to nine joint development wells (the " New Wells ") on a defined helium trend in the Mankota area. The New Wells are expected to spud between Q3 2024 and Q2 2025.
Additionally, HEVI announces that, subject to applicable TSX Venture Exchange approval, the Board of Directors of the Company has approved the amendment of an aggregate of 700,000 incentive stock options, of which 420,000 incentive stock options have vested (the " Amended Options "), previously granted to certain consultants, and investor relations service providers of the Company under the Company's 2021 stock option plan (the " Option Amendments "). The Amended Options were originally granted on June 30, 2022 at an exercise price of $0.385 per share and are exercisable until June 30, 2027. Pursuant to the Option Amendments, the exercise price of the Amended Options has been amended to $0.15 per share and there is no change to the expiry date. None of the Amended Options are held by insiders of the Company.

Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Language
This news release contains forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws. The use of any of the words "will", "expect", "intend", "plan", "may", "believe", "estimate", "forecast", "anticipate", "should" and other similar words or expressions are intended to identify forward-looking information. Forward‐looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not such results will be achieved. A number of factors could cause actual results to vary significantly from the expectations discussed in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect current assumptions and expectations regarding future events. Accordingly, when relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions, Alvopetro cautions readers not to place undue reliance on these statements, as forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties. More particularly and without limitation, this news release contains forward-looking information concerning the Company's dividends, plans for dividends in the future, the timing and amount of such dividends and the expected tax treatment thereof. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon assumptions and judgments with respect to the future including, but not limited to the success of future drilling, completion, testing, recompletion and development activities and the timing of such activities, the performance of producing wells and reservoirs, well development and operating performance, expectations and assumptions concerning the timing of regulatory licenses and approvals, equipment availability, environmental regulation, including regulations relating to hydraulic fracturing and stimulation, the ability to monetize hydrocarbons discovered, the outlook for commodity markets and ability to access capital markets, foreign exchange rates, the outcome of any disputes, the outcome of redeterminations, general economic and business conditions, forecasted demand for oil and natural gas, the impact of global pandemics, weather and access to drilling locations, the availability and cost of labour and services, and the regulatory and legal environment and other risks associated with oil and gas operations. The reader is cautioned that assumptions used in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be incorrect. Actual results achieved during the forecast period will vary from the information provided herein as a result of numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors. Current and forecasted natural gas nominations are subject to change on a daily basis and such changes may be material. In addition, the declaration, timing, amount and payment of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Although we believe that the expectations and assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because we can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since forward looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to, risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general (e.g., operational risks in development, exploration and production; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of reserve estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production, costs and expenses, reliance on industry partners, availability of equipment and personnel, uncertainty surrounding timing for drilling and completion activities resulting from weather and other factors, changes in applicable regulatory regimes and health, safety and environmental risks), commodity price and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, market uncertainty associated with trade or tariff disputes, and general economic conditions.

Brossard, Quebec TheNewswire - September 5, 2025 Charbone Hydrogen Corporation (TSXV: CH,OTC:CHHYF; OTCQB: CHHYF; FSE: K47) (the "Company" or "CHARBONE "), a company focused on green hydrogen production and distribution, is pleased to announce it has signed, on September 4, 2025, an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire operational hydrogen production and refuelling equipment in Quebec. The strategic acquisition will enable CHARBONE to fast-track the commissioning of CHARBONE's flagship Sorel-Tracy facility phase 1 and empower CHARBONE to produce and deliver first industrial high purity hydrogen (UHP) sales in the upcoming quarter.
The equipment, currently in use will be dismantled, repurposed and relocated to Sorel-Tracy .
This transaction follows CHARBONE's signing of a non-dilutive USD 50 million construction capital facility announced on May 1 and June 4, 2025. While this facility is earmarked for broader project financing rather than this equipment purchase, it demonstrates CHARBONE's strengthened capital position and ability to scale up its overall development plan.
Key Investor Highlights
Accelerated Timeline : Repurposing proven operating equipment reduces installation costs of new equipment — enabling production by early Q4 2025
Selection Process : CHARBONE has been selected as the buyer of the equipment as the seller has accepted $1M in CHARBONE stock as part of a portion of the purchase price at an issue price equal to the market price of CHARBONE's shares on the TSX Venture Exchange on the effective date plus a cash balance payable in 3 tranches payment , with one-third payment on the effective date and the remaining paid over two years — preserving cash for growth.
Operational Progress : Grid connection is completed; Hydro-Québec installed the energy meter on July 22, and completed the interconnection on August 13, while the Town of Sorel-Tracy completed the water connection to its main system, providing the site with the two elements needed for hydrogen production.
Private Placement Details
Additionally, CHARBONE is pleased to announce the sequential closings of its $1M non-brokered private placement (the "Equity Offering"). The Company has already secured $0.5 million to accelerate the completion of its flagship green hydrogen production facility in Sorel-Tracy, Quebec.
The initial tranche involved the issuance of 7,699,666 units. A second tranche for the remaining $0.5M is expected to close by October 15, 2025.
The proceeds from the Equity Offering will be primarily allocated to the Company's purchase of the operating hydrogen equipment, re-installation at the Sorel-Tracy site, and infrastructure development, and general working capital requirements.
Each of the units offered (each a Unit "), priced at $0.06 per Unit, included one common share of the Company (each, a " Unit Share ") and one common share purchase warrant (each, a " Warrant "). Each Warrant gives the holder the right to buy one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $ 0.08 for 24 months after the closing date of the Offering (the Closing Date "). At the Closing Date, the Company paid a finder's fee of $17,222 and issued 287,040 finder's warrants to registered dealers related to the sale of certain Units to qualified subscribers introduced by such dealers. The Units were offered under the "accredited investor" exemptions of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (in Québec, Regulation 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions ). However, the Company reserves the right to decline subscription amounts below $5,000 (83,333 Units) to avoid excessive administrative costs.
The closing of the Equity Offering remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and other customary closing conditions. The Company may close a second tranche in the coming days, but no later than October 15, 2025. All securities issued under the Offering are subject to a statutory four-month and one-day hold period in Canada following the Closing Date
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction where such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful, including in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 1933 Act ") or any applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act) unless registered under the 1933 Act and relevant state laws, or if an exemption from registration is available
CEO Comment
"Investors have waited for Sorel-Tracy to move from development to revenue," said Dave Gagnon, President and CEO of CHARBONE. "By repurposing proven equipment — at a lower cost of a new build — and structuring the deal to preserve cash, we're entering execution mode with strong capital backing and minimal dilution. He continues; This acquisition positions us to deliver green and high purity hydrogen (UHP) to our industrial customers quicker, and with best-in-class operating equipment. "
Why This Matters
This acquisition signals a turning point for CHARBONE: after years of development, the company is positioned to deliver its first hydrogen revenues, leverage non-dilutive capital to scale, and capture early-mover advantages in the North American green hydrogen market.
About Charbone Hydrogen CORPORATION
CHARBONE is an integrated company specialized in Ultra High Purity (UHP) hydrogen and the strategic distribution of industrial gases in North America and the Asia-Pacific region. It is developing a modular network of green hydrogen production while partnering with industry players to supply helium and other specialty gases without the need to build costly new plants.

Brossard (Québec) TheNewswire - le 5 septembre 2025 - CORPORATION CHARBONE HYDROGÈNE (TSXV: CH,OTC:CHHYF OTCQB: CHHYF, FSE: K47 ) (« Charbone » ou la « Société »), une compagnie spécialisée dans la production et la distribution d'hydrogène vert, est heureuse d'annoncer la signature, le 4 septembre 2025, d'une convention d'achat d'actifs visant l'acquisition d'équipements opérationnels de production et de ravitaillement en hydrogène au Québec. Cette acquisition stratégique permettra à Charbone d'accélérer la mise en service de la phase 1 de son usine phare de Sorel-Tracy et de produire et livrer ses premières ventes d'hydrogène industriel de haute pureté (UHP) au cours du prochain trimestre.
Les équipements, seront démantelés, convertis et relocalisés à Sorel-Tracy.
Cette transaction fait suite à la signature par Charbone d' une facilité de capital de construction non dilutive de 50 millions USD annoncée le 1er mai et 4 juin 2025. Bien que cette facilité soit destinée à un financement de projet plus large plutôt qu'à cet achat d'équipements, elle démontre la position de capital renforcée de Charbone et sa capacité à étendre son plan de développement global.
Points saillants pour les investisseurs clés
Échéancier accéléré : La réutilisation des équipements en opération réduit les coûts d'installation des nouveaux équipements — permettant une production d'ici le début du T4 2025
Processus de sélection : Charbone a été sélectionné comme acheteur de l'équipement en échange de 1 M$ en actions de Charbone dans le cadre d'une partie du prix d'achat à un prix d'émission égal au cours du marché des actions de Charbone à la Bourse de croissance TSX à la date effective, plus la balance en espèces payable en 3 tranches, avec un tiers du paiement à la date effective et le reste payé sur deux ans — préservant la trésorerie pour la croissance.
Progrès opérationnels : Le raccordement au réseau est complété; Hydro-Québec a installé le compteur d'énergie le 22 juillet et complété l'interconnexion le 13 août, tandis que la Ville de Sorel-Tracy a complété le raccordement d'eau à son réseau principal, fournissant ainsi au site les deux éléments nécessaires à la production d'hydrogène.
Détails du placement privé
Par ailleurs, Charbone est heureuse d'annoncer la clôture séquentielle de son placement privé sans intermédiaire de 1 M$ (le « placement d'actions »). La Société a déjà obtenu 0,5 M$ pour accélérer l'achèvement de son usine phare de production d'hydrogène vert à Sorel-Tracy, au Québec.
La première tranche comprenait l'émission de 7 699 666 unités. Une deuxième tranche, portant sur les 0,5 M$ restants, devrait être clôturée d'ici le 15 octobre 2025.
Le produit de l'émission d'actions sera principalement affecté à l'achat par la Société des équipements d'hydrogène, à la réinstallation sur le site de Sorel-Tracy, au développement des infrastructures et aux besoins généraux en fonds de roulement.
Chacune des unités offertes (chacune une « unit »), au prix de 0,06 $ l'unité, était composée d'une action ordinaire de la Société (chacune une « action unitaire ») et d'un bon de souscription d'action ordinaire (chacun un « bon de souscription »). Chaque bon de souscription donne droit à son porteur d'acheter une action ordinaire supplémentaire de la Société au prix d'exercice de 0,08 $ pendant une période de 24 mois suivant la date de clôture du placement (la « date de clôture »). À la date de clôture, la Société a payé des commissions d'intermédiaires de 17 222 $ et a émis 287 040 bons de souscription à des intermédiaires inscrits dans le cadre de la vente de certaines unités à des souscripteurs qualifiés qu'ils ont présentés à la Société. Les Unités sont offertes aux termes des dispenses d'« investisseur qualifié » et d'« investissement d'une somme minimale » prévues au èglement 45-106 sur les dispenses de prospectus . Toutefois, la Société se réserve le droit de ne pas accepter des montants de souscription inférieurs à 5 000 $ (83 333 unités) afin d'éviter des frais administratifs disproportionnés
La clôture de l'offre d'actions demeure soumise à l'approbation de la Bourse de croissance TSX et à d'autres conditions de clôture habituelles. La Société pourrait clôturer une deuxième tranche dans les prochains jours, mais au plus tard le 15 octobre 2025. Tous les titres émis dans le cadre de l'offre sont assujettis à une période de détention légale de quatre mois et un jour au Canada après la date de clôture
