First Helium Inc. Announces Communications Roadmap

Company Background:

Building on the successful tests of its Worsley helium discovery well near Grand Prairie, Alberta, First Helium was established as a helium exploration and development company to capitalize on the large, untapped potential of the significant helium resources in Western Canada. The discovery well, which was production tested at over 1.3% of helium content over multiple periods, lays the foundation for the Company to develop its land base of over 32,000 hectares along the highly prospective Worsley Helium Trend. First Helium seeks to establish commercial operations by bringing its discovery well into production and selling its helium gas into North America via off-take marketing arrangements with third-party distributors.

Communications Roadmap:

As a pioneering member of the Canadian junior helium exploration sector, First Helium's listing on the TSXV marks a significant milestone in its strategic plan. In the 12 months preceding the listing, First Helium has made substantial progress in numerous areas including, but not limited to, advancing its Worsley-area project and building an inventory of future prospects. Accordingly, the Company plans to highlight the following key areas of advancement over the near term:

• Worsley Property Development
• Worsley Trend Evaluation and Land Activity
• Seismic Acquisitions and Proprietary Corporate Seismic Program
• Addition of Substantial Prospective Land and Seismic Review Packages
• Team Additions

Management Commentary:

"I greatly look forward to the next 12 months of activity for First Helium. With a strong independent engineering evaluation of our helium discovery well, combined with drill-ready locations on lands adjacent to the discovery well, and exploration and development upside on the balance of our undeveloped Worsley lands, the Company is well positioned to bring its valuable helium to market," said Ed Bereznicki, Chief Executive Officer of First Helium. "Further, with the exploration potential of a second core area and approximately $8.5 million in cash on hand, our team firmly believes that First Helium's current market capitalization and overall enterprise value are quite attractive relative to those of our publicly-traded peer group," added Mr. Bereznicki.
