Arizona Tribune - Helium One Global Ltd Announces Jackson-29 Spud at Galactica Project

Highlights

• Jackson-29 well spudded at the Galactica helium project

• Currently preparing to drill intermediate hole section

Details

The Company is pleased to announce the spudding of the Jackson-29 SWNW 3054 development well at its Galactica helium project in Las Animas County, Colorado.

The shallow conductor section has been set and blowout preventers are being installed and tested, and the next phase will be to drill through the intermediate hole section. After casing at the base of the intermediate section, the well will target the Lyons Sandstone Formation, with Target Depth ("TD") planned within the Upper Lyons Formation gas reservoir.

When TD is reached, wireline logging will then be conducted, followed by flow and pressure readings at the wellhead. This data will be used to estimate the production potential of the well based on the production model.

Jackson-29 is anticipated to be completed and ultimately tied-in to production facilities.

Galactica/Pegasus Development

The Galactica project forms part of the broader Galactica/Pegasus development, discovered by Blue Star in 2022. This large-scale project offers multiple potential product streams. Four existing discoveries at Galactica/Pegasus (JXSN-1 to JXSN-4) have delivered gas flows of 125 to 412 thousand cubic feet per day ("Mcfd") to 412 Mcfd with high helium concentrations of between 2.0% and 6.1%.

Blue Star further appraised the discovery of the State-16 well which was drilled in June 2024, as well as the Jackson-31 well (February 2025) and Jackson-4 well (March 2025).

Independent engineering consultants advised that State-16 is capable of producing up to 441 Mcfd with more stabilised rates constrained for production optimisation, projected to be between 250 Mcfd and 350 Mcfd. The well tested 1.9% helium and logs identified 96+ feet of gas column in the Lyons Sandstone Formation.

The Jackson-31 well has shown a natural flow rate of approximately 250 Mcfd which compares favourably to the State-16 well which showed a sustained natural flow rate of 150 Mcfd. Results are still pending on the Jackson-4 well.

The third-party owned Red Rocks helium project adjoins Blue Star's Galactica Project (see map below). Development of Red Rocks further supports the commercialisation of the Galactica Project.

Blue Star has been advancing engineering work on Galactica related to CO₂ removal, purification and sale prior to helium processing via the IACX helium recovery unit. Engineering and market analysis continues to optimize development configurations, production forecasts, and cost estimates.

Blue Star is advancing the Galactica project in joint venture with Helium One Global Ltd. Under the farm-in agreement, Helium One will fund the first US$450,000 of this well.

Notes to Editors

Helium One Global, the AIM-listed Tanzanian explorer, holds prospecting licences across two distinct project areas, with the potential to become a strategic player in resolving a supply-constrained helium market.

The Rukwa and Eyasi projects are located within rift basins on the margin of the Tanzanian Craton in the north and southwest of the country. These assets lie near surface seeps with helium concentrations ranging up to 10.4% helium by volume. All Helium One's licences are held on a 100% equity basis.

The Company's flagship southern Rukwa Project is located within the southern Rukwa Rift Basin in south-west Tanzania. This project is considered to be entering an appraisal stage following the success of the 2023/24 exploration drilling campaign, which proved a helium discovery at Itumbula West-1 and, following an extended well test, successfully flowed 5.5% helium continually to surface in Q3 2024.

Following the success of the extended well test, the Company flowed significant quantities of helium to surface and filed a Mining Licence ("ML") application with the Tanzania Mining Commission in September 2024. The 480km² ML has now been offered to the Company and was officially accepted in March 2025.

The Company also owns a 50% working interest in the Galactica-Pegasus helium development project in Las Animas County, Colorado, USA. This project is operated by Blue Star Helium Ltd (ASX: BNL).

Helium One is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange with the ticker of HE1 and on the OTCQB in the United States with the ticker HLOGF.
