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 Discovery - 9-18 Well
Helium Discovery - 2-31 Well
Helium Discovery - 9-35 Well
New Well Drilling and Seismic Program
Looking ahead, HEVI remains strategically positioned and highly differentiated due to its successful partnership with NAH, Canada's leading helium driller and producer in Saskatchewan. With a sizeable land base, healthy working capital and numerous catalysts on the horizon, the Company remains excited about the future.
HEVI wishes to thank all shareholders and stakeholders for their continued support and looks forward to providing future updates on its exploration and development activities.

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.
