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.

Selected financial and operational information outlined in this news release should be read in conjunction with Coelacanth's unaudited condensed interim financial statements and related Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which are available for review under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
OPERATIONS UPDATE
Coelacanth has reached a major milestone in its development with the completion of the Two Rivers East facility (the "Facility"). The Facility was completed on budget and has moved to the testing and start-up phase. The capacity of the Facility is currently 8,000 boe/d but will be expanded in Q4 2025 to 16,000 boe/d with added compression. We expect production to start flowing imminently from the 5-19 pad and ramp up through the summer. As previously released, the 5-19 pad has 9 wells that tested over 11,000 boe/d (1) that will be brought on systematically to approach the phase I capacity of the plant prior to further drilling.
Over the next few years, Coelacanth will continue with its business plan that incorporates:
Coelacanth has licensed additional locations on the 5-19 pad, is in the process of licensing additional development pads, delineation locations and additional infrastructure to grow beyond current plant capacity. While commodity prices and available capital will dictate the pace of execution of the business plan, we are very pleased with the results to date and look forward to reporting on new developments as they arise.
(1) See "Test Results and Initial Production Rates" section for more details.
OIL AND GAS TERMS
The Company uses the following frequently recurring oil and gas industry terms in the news release:
Liquids
| Bbls | Barrels |
| Bbls/d | Barrels per day |
| NGLs | Natural gas liquids (includes condensate, pentane, butane, propane, and ethane) |
| Condensate | Pentane and heavier hydrocarbons |
Natural Gas
| Mcf | Thousands of cubic feet |
| Mcf/d | Thousands of cubic feet per day |
| MMcf/d | Millions of cubic feet per day |
| MMbtu | Million of British thermal units |
| MMbtu/d | Million of British thermal units per day |
Oil Equivalent
| Boe | Barrels of oil equivalent |
| Boe/d | Barrels of oil equivalent per day |
Disclosure provided herein in respect of a boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent has been used for the calculation of boe amounts in the news release. This boe conversion rate is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
NON-GAAP AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES
This news release refers to certain measures that are not determined in accordance with IFRS (or "GAAP"). These non-GAAP and other financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. The non-GAAP and other financial measures should not be considered alternatives to, or more meaningful than, financial measures that are determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators of the Company's performance. Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP and other financial measures provides useful information to shareholders and investors in understanding and evaluating the Company's ongoing operating performance, and the measures provide increased transparency to better analyze the Company's performance against prior periods on a comparable basis.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted funds flow (used)
Management uses adjusted funds flow (used) to analyze performance and considers it a key measure as it demonstrates the Company's ability to generate the cash necessary to fund future capital investments and abandonment obligations and to repay debt, if any. Adjusted funds flow (used) is a non-GAAP financial measure and has been defined by the Company as cash flow from operating activities excluding the change in non-cash working capital related to operating activities, movements in restricted cash deposits and expenditures on decommissioning obligations. Management believes the timing of collection, payment or incurrence of these items involves a high degree of discretion and as such may not be useful for evaluating the Company's cash flows. Adjusted funds flow (used) is reconciled from cash flow from operating activities as follows:
| Three Months Ended | |||||||||
| March 31 | |||||||||
| ($000s) | 2025 | 2024 | % Change | ||||||
| Cash flow from operating activities | 981 | 3,256 | (70 | ) | |||||
| Add (deduct): | |||||||||
| Decommissioning expenditures | 139 | 148 | (6 | ) | |||||
| Change in restricted cash deposits | - | 424 | (100 | ) | |||||
| Change in non-cash working capital | (2,560 | ) | (2,750 | ) | (7 | ) | |||
| Adjusted funds flow (used) (non-GAAP) | (1,440 | ) | 1,078 | (234 | ) | ||||
Net transportation expenses
Management considers net transportation expenses an important measure as it demonstrates the cost of utilized transportation related to the Company's production. Net transportation expenses is calculated as transportation expenses less unutilized transportation and is calculated as follows:
| Three Months Ended | ||||||
| March 31 | ||||||
| ($000s) | 2025 | 2024 | ||||
| Transportation expenses | 551 | 545 | ||||
| Unutilized transportation | (277 | ) | (225 | ) | ||
| Net transportation expenses (non-GAAP) | 274 | 320 | ||||
Operating netback
Management considers operating netback an important measure as it demonstrates its profitability relative to current commodity prices. Operating netback is calculated as oil and natural gas sales less royalties, operating expenses, and net transportation expenses and is calculated as follows:
| Three Months Ended | ||||||
| March 31 | ||||||
| ($000s) | 2025 | 2024 | ||||
| Oil and natural gas sales | 2,666 | 3,666 | ||||
| Royalties | (491 | ) | (821 | ) | ||
| Operating expenses | (728 | ) | (894 | ) | ||
| Net transportation expenses | (274 | ) | (320 | ) | ||
| Operating netback (non-GAAP) | 1,173 | 1,631 | ||||
Capital expenditures
Coelacanth utilizes capital expenditures as a measure of capital investment on property, plant, and equipment, exploration and evaluation assets and property acquisitions compared to its annual budgeted capital expenditures. Capital expenditures are calculated as follows:
| Three Months Ended | ||||||
| March 31 | ||||||
| ($000s) | 2025 | 2024 | ||||
| Capital expenditures – property, plant, and equipment | 668 | 393 | ||||
| Capital expenditures – exploration and evaluation assets | 25,033 | 870 | ||||
| Capital expenditures (non-GAAP) | 25,701 | 1,263 | ||||
Capital Management Measures
Adjusted working capital
Management uses adjusted working capital (deficiency) as a measure to assess the Company's financial position. Adjusted working capital is calculated as current assets and restricted cash deposits less current liabilities, excluding the current portion of decommissioning obligations.
| ($000s) | March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||||
| Current assets | 3,431 | 11,579 | ||||
| Less: | ||||||
| Current liabilities | (36,009 | ) | (37,234 | ) | ||
| Working capital deficiency | (32,578 | ) | (25,655 | ) | ||
| Add: | ||||||
| Restricted cash deposits | 4,900 | 4,900 | ||||
| Current portion of decommissioning obligations | 1,968 | 2,118 | ||||
| Adjusted working capital deficiency (Capital management measure) | (25,710 | ) | (18,637 | ) | ||
Non-GAAP Financial Ratios
Adjusted Funds Flow (Used) per Share
Adjusted funds flow (used) per share is a non-GAAP financial ratio, calculated using adjusted funds flow (used) and the same weighted average basic and diluted shares used in calculating net loss per share.
Net transportation expenses per boe
The Company utilizes net transportation expenses per boe to assess the per unit cost of utilized transportation related to the Company's production. Net transportation expenses per boe is calculated as net transportation expenses divided by total production for the applicable period.
Operating netback per boe
The Company utilizes operating netback per boe to assess the operating performance of its petroleum and natural gas assets on a per unit of production basis. Operating netback per boe is calculated as operating netback divided by total production for the applicable period.
Supplementary Financial Measures
The supplementary financial measures used in this news release (primarily average sales price per product type and certain per boe and per share figures) are either a per unit disclosure of a corresponding GAAP measure, or a component of a corresponding GAAP measure, presented in the financial statements. Supplementary financial measures that are disclosed on a per unit basis are calculated by dividing the aggregate GAAP measure (or component thereof) by the applicable unit for the period. Supplementary financial measures that are disclosed on a component basis of a corresponding GAAP measure are a granular representation of a financial statement line item and are determined in accordance with GAAP.
PRODUCT TYPES
The Company uses the following references to sales volumes in the news release:
Natural gas refers to shale gas
Oil and condensate refers to condensate and tight oil combined
Other NGLs refers to butane, propane and ethane combined
Oil and NGLs refers to tight oil and NGLs combined
Oil equivalent refers to the total oil equivalent of shale gas, tight oil, and NGLs combined, using the conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of shale gas to one barrel of oil equivalent.

A pressure transient analysis or well-test interpretation has not been carried out on these nine wells and thus certain of the test results provided herein should be considered to be preliminary until such analysis or interpretation has been completed. Test results and initial production rates disclosed herein, particularly those short in duration, may not necessarily be indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery.
Any references to peak rates, test rates, IP30, IP90, IP180 or initial production rates or declines are useful for confirming the presence of hydrocarbons, however, such rates and declines are not determinative of the rates at which such wells will continue production and decline thereafter and are not indicative of long-term performance or ultimate recovery. IP30 is defined as an average production rate over 30 consecutive days, IP90 is defined as an average production rate over 90 consecutive days and IP180 is defined as an average production rate over 180 consecutive days. Readers are cautioned not to place reliance on such rates in calculating aggregate production for the Company.
