Filing of Shelf Prospectus

Royal announces that it has filed a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada, except the Province of Québec.

The shelf prospectus will, subject to regulatory requirements and approval, provide for the potential offering in Canada of up to an aggregate of CAD$200 million of Royal’s common shares, debt securities, subscription receipts and units from time to time over a 25-month period after applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities have issued a receipt for the final short form base shelf prospectus.

The shelf prospectus is being filed to provide Royal the flexibility to take advantage of financing opportunities from time to time and as market conditions dictate. The terms of such future offerings, if any, will be established at the time of such offerings. At the time any of the securities covered by the shelf prospectus are offered for sale, a prospectus supplement containing specific information about the terms of any such offering will be filed with applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities and is also subject to TSX Venture Exchange review and acceptance.

About Royal Helium Ltd.

Royal controls over 1,000,000 acres of prospective helium land across southern Saskatchewan and southeastern Alberta. 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. Royal’s helium reservoirs are carried primarily with nitrogen. Nitrogen is not considered a greenhouse gas (“GHG“) and therefore has a low GHG footprint when compared to other jurisdictions that rely on large scale natural gas production for helium extraction. Helium extracted from wells in Saskatchewan and Alberta can be up to 99% less carbon intensive than helium extraction processes in other jurisdictions.
