VVC Achieves Cashflow Generating Milestone

VVC Achieves Cashflow Generating Milestone

VVC's Strategic Investment, Proton Green, LLC ("Proton Green"), the operator of one of the leading helium, beverage grade CO 2 and carbon sequestration hubs in North America, announced the startup of its Phase I Helium Extraction Plant at its St. Johns Dome asset, which spans approximately 150,000 contiguous acres. The St. Johns asset is located in Apache County, Arizona, atop one of the largest helium and carbon dioxide reservoirs in North America, with an estimated 33 billion cubic feet of helium and 9 trillion cubic feet of CO 2 in accessible reservoirs. Notably, both helium and CO 2 produced from the region contain no hydrocarbon component.

According to Steve Looper, Chief Executive Officer of Proton Green, LLC: "With initiation of production at its Phase I Helium Extraction Plant, Proton Green joins the Top 10 ranks as a helium producer in North America, being junior to Exxon, Kinder Morgan, NASCO, and others as leading producers. Proton Green's Phase I Helium Extraction Plant will reach nameplate production capacity over the next several weeks, as standard ramp up and risk management procedures are executed. Proton Green's production has been contracted for fixed-price offtake with two multi-national industrial gas distribution and marketing companies."

With its 14.09% ownership, VVC expects to begin recognizing cashflows from the free cash generated by Proton Green. "We are truly excited about this new development" said Terrence Martell, Chairman of VVC. "We look forward to future monetizing efforts that this strategic investment brings now that Proton Green will be generating free cash in the near term".
