Royal Helium’s 2019 Exploration Program

Exploration activities commenced in Q2 2019 and will continue through the remainder of 2019. On July 23rd, the Company announced that it had completed its initial exploration and regional study program on its south west Saskatchewan assets and commenced advanced exploration activities focusing on the Climax East property. This program is nearing completion, and results will be reported as they are finalized. Royal will be completing similar programs on its properties in the Swift Current, Cadillac and Val Marie regions.

Mr. Halabura, Royal’s VP of Exploration comments: “The results of the initial and more advanced exploration on the Climax East project are yielding positive results, with a emphasis on generating as many high quality drill targets as possible. Royal’s plan is to repeat this approach on the Company’s large helium land package and its several focus areas, with a view to generating multiple drill targets which will be systematically tested”.

Additional Property Acquisitions

In August of 2019, the Company made application to the Government of Saskatchewan to add an additional two townships of both Crown and fee-simple lands in the Climax region. Initial results from the 2019 exploration program have shown that these lands, similar to Climax East, are prospective for helium development, with the appearance of structural traps at depth. Royal will report updates on this acquisition as the permit is processed by the Government of Saskatchewan. If the application is successful, it would mark a significant increase in acreage in the prospective Climax region.

Andrew Davidson, CEO commented: “Along with our exploration activities, an emphasis on land and project acquisition is an integral part of Royal’s future expansion as we intend to grow in a logical and targeted fashion. These acquisitions will include further projects in Saskatchewan as well as projects elsewhere in North America and is a firm part of our plan to become a leading North American supplier of this high value, supply constrained commodity”. Royal Helium Ltd. Royal has over 300,000 acres of prospective helium land in south western and south central Saskatchewan. All of Royal’s lands are in close vicinity to highways, roads, cities and importantly, close to existing oil and gas infrastructure, with a significant portion of its land in close proximity to existing helium producing locations. With stable, rising prices and limited, non-renewable sources for helium worldwide, Royal intends to become a leading North American producer of this high value commodity, through the systematic acquisition and exploration of prospective helium prospect in North America.
