Demand for helium continues to rise thanks to its use in the semiconductor, healthcare and nuclear energy sectors, and companies such as [Pulsar Helium Inc. (TSXV:PLSR)]( are poised to be major game changers in the space. With headquarters out of Vancouver, the company is focused on developing its helium assets with the goal of bringing stability through sustainable supply not associated with hydrocarbon production. As it currently stands, Pulsar Helium’s assets include its flagship Topaz Project in Minnesota where the company has the advantage of being a first mover for helium exploration in this location. In line with this, the company’s 100-per-cent-owned Topaz Project is a new helium discovery in a new helium state where it is also one of the world’s highest-content helium occurrences. It has been drilled and flowed at 10.5 per cent helium. To put this into context, helium concentrations exceeding 0.3 per cent are considered of economic interest. With the global helium market [estimated at a valuation]( of US$2.3 billion in 2022, and projected to reach $3.4 billion by 2030 and growing at a compound annual growth rate of 5 per cent during the forecast period – Pulsar Helium is undoubtedly expected to be a game changer in the space thanks to its ideal location in Minnesota and its focus on projects where helium is the primary economic driver. Supplying helium domestically In an interview with The Market Herald Canada, Pulsar Helium CEO Thomas Abraham-James said exploring for and supplying helium domestically is significantly important because there has been a decade-long helium supply shortage, particularly since the U.S. government’s Bureau of Land Management stopped selling helium. Back in 2013, The Helium Stewardship Act sought to alleviate a helium shortage by enabling the secretary of the Interior to keep selling crude helium from the Federal Helium Reserve. As of July 12, 2023, the Federal Helium System [was to be sold]( which accounts for 15 to 17 per cent of global helium supply and includes the sale of critical assets such as the Cliffside Gas Plant, federally owned plant equipment, mineral rights, and the helium pipeline. Abraham-James said the government then stopped selling helium and kept it solely for federal usage and that what is currently left is being sold to private industry. “The fear is that the new owner of the Federal Helium System will keep the helium in the ground, increase the price and make it even more constrained,” he said. “The U.S has no new meaningful supply coming online to replace it.” Less than 5 per cent of helium produced is considered primary, i.e., not sold as a by-product of natural gas production, which is where Pulsar looks set to capitalize. As noted earlier, the company is focused on exploring and developing primary helium products – meaning Pulsar focuses only on assets where the primary economic driver is helium. In other words, it isn’t a by-product or associated with significant hydrocarbons. Additionally, location is key. The United States is the world’s biggest consumer of helium and from a Minnesota location, Pulsar can deliver helium within two days to anywhere in the contiguous U.S. Importing helium from overseas is an issue because product can be lost because of leakage over the weeks it takes to deliver to the U.S., and it can be subject to geopolitical tension, typified by the blockade of Qatar (now the world’s largest helium producer) by its neighbours from 2017-2021. [SEE COMPANY PROFILE]( The Topaz Project Located 100 kilometres north of Duluth, Minnesota – a regional centre supporting North America’s vast iron ore mines – the Topaz Project was first drilled in 2011 where the remarkably high helium content of 10.5 per cent was intersected by chance. (Source: Pulsar Helium Inc.) The company has an exclusive lease with a private mineral rights holder for a 100 per cent working interest in more than 1,040 acres that entails the 2011 helium discovery hole. Pulsar also has an exclusive option to lease an additional 2,029 net acres, which will give Pulsar the rights to non-hydrocarbon gases, including without limitation, helium. In October, [the company announced it had signed a lease]( for additional mineral rights to expand the Topaz project. The lease is for privately held mineral rights covering a 2,840 gross acres over 75 parcels and is for an initial term of 20 years (with an option to extend up to a maximum of 40 years). This has cemented Pulsar’s position in the vicinity of the 10.5 per cent helium discovery. “The company is a first mover in Minnesota,” Abraham-James told The Market Herald Canada. “Nobody’s looked for helium in Minnesota before and we are using this advantage to secure all priority areas of interest.” (Source: Pulsar Helium Inc.) Additional catalysts The company also holds an exclusive license for the Tunu Project in Greenland, which has recently been enlarged to include a prospective area for helium and geothermal power generation. In a statement, Pulsar Helium [said the project]( now covers a total area of 2,816 square kilometres and includes the Kap Tobin locality where thermal springs were previously sampled in 2021, returning a helium concentration of 0.8 per cent associated with 97 per cent nitrogen and 2 per cent argon. “Helium has recently been added to the European Union’s list of critical raw materials, and Pulsar’s Tunu project is one of very few primary helium occurrences in Europe. Tunu was generated in-house and is the first helium license to be granted in Greenland. The license enlargement covers a strategic location that contains a proven primary helium system and potential for geothermal energy,” Abraham-James said in a statement. What’s next for Pulsar Helium? Putting it simply, the Topaz project’s potential is nothing short of substantial. Moving forward Abraham-James explained the company’s next steps will be drilling an appraisal well in December. The company said the Jetstream No. 1 appraisal well is anticipated to begin drilling Dec. 10, with drilling planned to a vertical depth of 2,200 feet and is within 65 feet of the original discovery well that flowed 10.5 per cent helium. During drilling, a gas chromatograph and mass spectrometer will be at the site to provide real-time gas composition measurements, which include helium concentration. “If we replicate the results from the initial discovery hole, then it will be a game changer,” Abraham-James said. By early next year, he added, Pulsar Helium will then be able to conduct a feasibility on the property. “Pulsar will move heaven and earth to get Topaz online as quickly as possible,” he said.Abraham-James added that if “everything goes according to plan,” the company could realistically produce gaseous helium by the end of 2024. Abraham-James said the company intends to generate initial revenue from gaseous helium, while targeting higher value income from a liquid helium plant, which he explained will take roughly 18-24 months to install. In the long-term, Pulsar Helium has a goal of becoming an independent producer of helium in the U.S. Thanks to the size and scope of its project, that goal should be attainable for the company. From there, Abraham-James said the company would ideally sell helium directly to the end-users – which he said is where the most value is compared with the typical approach of selling through a distributor. “Within the industrial gas industry, helium is the only strategic gas to get out of the ground, the others are separated from the air that we breathe” Abraham-James said. “Whoever controls the helium controls the industrial gas market.” With that being said – because Pulsar Helium has discovered and locked in such a sizable project at Topaz in Minnesota – Abraham-James said it’s possible in the future that a larger market player could absorb Pulsar Helium. [INVESTOR UPDATES]( Thomas Abraham-James, co-founder and CEO Thomas Abraham-James is a geologist by trade and received his education at the Australian National University. Abraham-James began his career with Rio Tinto (Argyle Diamonds) before transitioning to exploration. Abraham-James has been in the helium industry for a decade, and prior to Pulsar Helium he was also the co-founder and former managing director of Helium One Global Ltd (LSE: HE1). Neil Herbert, co-founder and executive chair Neil Herbert has more than three decades of experience leading, advising and investing in growth companies from start-up through to initial public offerings as well as development and more than US$3 billion of mergers and acquisitions. Herbert is an investor and leading director of growth companies, including his role with Pulsar Helium. The investment opportunity With a market capitalization of just C$17 million and a share price of $0.23, it goes without saying that Pulsar Helium is vastly undervalued when taking the scope of its Topaz Helium Project alone into consideration. As Pulsar Helium moves forward with drilling in December and as it looks to execute its goals into 2024 and beyond, time is of the essence for investors to act quickly on this unique helium play. With Abraham-James’ previous experience with a different helium company where he was integral in bringing a project up and running in Tanzania, the company’s share price increased tenfold – which is good news for potential investors and investors of Pulsar Helium. To put it simply, Pulsar Helium has the potential to be a game changer in bringing domestic helium supply back to the U.S. and, as a first mover in the state of Minnesota, investors will want to act before it’s too late.
