 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 Â
 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  Â
 - Following stimulation in July 2024, the 9-18 Well achieved a last flowing rate of 685 thousand standard cubic feet per day (" Mscf/d ") at 690 kilopascal (" kPa ") flowing tubing pressure with a helium concentration of 0.87%, a 12% increase from the initially measured helium concentration of 0.78%.
 - Preliminary results indicate no formation water, which suggests a positive outlook for the future productive potential of the well.
 - Several positive strategic and geological advancements have been provided through the 9-18 Well results, including:
-  Trap  confirmation : The existence of a trap, or cap rock, has been proven, which helps to further derisk the Mankota land base and solidify the potential for future helium extraction;
 -  Multiple helium-bearing zones : Three distinct helium-bearing zones have been confirmed at Mankota, highlighting the rich helium potential across HEVI's land base in the area;
 -  Helium-charged fairway: A helium charged fairway, extending over 20 kilometers, has been identified, emphasizing the extensive nature of helium deposits in the Mankota area; and
 -  Validation of exploration strategies: the 9-18 Well was drilled on a structural high, mirroring other successful helium discoveries that have been delineated downdip into onlapping sands, which have proven to be productive and commercial reservoirs.
Â
Â
  Helium    Discovery    -    2-31    Well  Â
 - HEVI's helium discovery well at 2-31-2-8W3 (" 2-31  Well ") tested at approximately 4,000 Mscf/d at 5,500 kPa flowing tubing pressure with a helium concentration of 0.95% after stimulation, more than three times the 0.3% level deemed commercially viable. Negligible volumes of water were produced at the 2-31 Well, a positive indication for helium recovery and processing.
Â
  Helium    Discovery    -    9-35    Well  Â
 - HEVI's helium discovery well at 9-35-3-9W3 (" 9-35 Well ") flow tested at approximately 7,000 Mscf/d and 9,000 kPa flowing tubing pressure with a helium concentration of 0.64%.
 - A pressure transient analysis (" PTA ") conducted revealed further positive indications, as announced on  April    10, 2024 , indicating no reservoir pressure depletion or reservoir boundaries which highlights a potentially expansive and productive reservoir. The PTA also calculated an absolute open flow potential of 13.3 MMscf/d. Additionally, the absence of formation water during the test period is a favorable factor for helium recovery and processing.
Â
  New    Well    Drilling    and    Seismic    Program  Â
 - HEVI and NAH intend to drill up to nine New Wells on the joint lands noted in the map herein. The New Wells are expected to be drilled in proximity to NAH's producing Mankota pool and as a continuation of the trend being developed at Mankota.
 - As noted above, it is anticipated the New Wells will be drilled in the upcoming winter months, given surface and environmental access restrictions.
 - In addition to the New Wells, HEVI is finalizing potential drilling locations on four sections of recently acquired land, in which the Company holds a 100% working interest (" 4  Crown  Sections ") and anticipates shooting additional seismic over the 4 Crown Sections in early 2025. The 4 Crown Sections are strategically located in a central portion of the Mankota helium fairway. In addition, HEVI is pursuing seismic studies in the Fox area and exploring promising leads in both Glenbain and Fox (both outside of the map area shown here), each of which are adjacent to notable NAH discoveries.
Â
 
 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.
