EQS-News: Why Pulsar Helium has game-changing potential for the US helium industry

Retrieved on: 
Saturday, December 30, 2023

With recent sales of liquid helium exceeding USD $1,000 per thousand cubic feet whereas natural gas is ~USD $4.

Key Points: 
  • With recent sales of liquid helium exceeding USD $1,000 per thousand cubic feet whereas natural gas is ~USD $4.
  • (see below)
    Conclusion: Pulsar is one of a handful of helium explorers looking for primary helium sources that are not linked to natural gas production.
  • Most new helium companies have understandably gone where there were already known helium deposits, identified via natural gas exploration and production.
  • In addition, a consulting or other service contract exists between Pulsar Helium and GOLDINVEST Consulting GmbH, with which a further conflict of interest exists, since Pulsar Helium remunerates GOLDINVEST Consulting GmbH for reporting.
