Helium One Global Ltd - State-9 Well Drilled to TD and Free Gas Confirmed
LONDON, UK / / June 3, 2025 / Helium One Global (AIM:HE1), the primary helium explorer in Tanzania with a 50% working interest in the Galactica-Pegasus helium development project in Colorado, USA ("the Galactica Project"), provides an update following the Blue Star Helium (ASX:BNL) ("Blue Star") announcement issued today regarding the Galactica Project.
Highlights
State-9 well successfully drilled to total depth ("TD") of 1,225ft (373m) measured depth ("MD") with free gas confirmed by wireline logs
Well flowed naturally during drilling and at TD, demonstrating good reservoir communication
The well encountered 60ft (18m) gross pay of high-quality (22-26% porosity based on petrophysics from offset wells JXSN-1,-2,-3,-4 and Sate-16), gas-saturated sands in the Upper Lyons Sandstone Formation
Samples sent to laboratory for analyses of helium and CO2 concentrations
Well head being installed ahead of surface pressure readings and flow testing
State-9 Well Drilling and Initial Flow Test Results
The State-9 development well encountered the Lyons Sandstone Formation at a depth of 1,165ft (355m) MD and was completed 60ft (18m) into the Upper Lyons Sandstone Formation at 1,225ft (373m). The well exhibited strong natural flow during drilling and at TD, in line with the recent Jackson-2, Jackson-27, Jackson-29, Jackson-31 and Jackson-4 wells.
Significantly, no water was encountered during drilling of the Lyons Sandstone Formation and wireline logs confirmed this. Based on offset wells, it is likely that the entire Upper Lyons Sandstone Formation, and a significant portion of the Lower Lyons Sandstone Formation will be gas saturated. State-9 targeted the highest quality sandstone at the top of the Upper Lyons Sandstone Formation, which is connected to the entire gas column.
During the natural flow of the well, early gas samples were taken (note, these will be contaminated from air-drilling and will require air-correcting) and are being delivered for laboratory analyses of helium and CO2 concentrations.
The well head installation is being completed ahead of surface pressure readings, flow testing and further gas sampling.
It is anticipated that, upon successful testing at State-9, the well will be completed, ready to be tied-in to production facilities.
The rig has now been released.
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. 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.
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.

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.

Montana woman discovers husband of 21 years didn't pay his taxes — now IRS is after them. What Dave Ramsey says to do
It's one thing for a spouse to keep a minor secret from their partner — it's another thing to hide an $82,000 tax bill. That's the situation Alice in Montana found herself in when she wrote to The Ramsey Show. Her husband of 21 years failed to pay an $82,000 tax bill from 2021. Now, the IRS is coming after their home, and she wants to know if she should take out a second mortgage to cover the bill or sell it. "I feel blindsided and betrayed," she wrote in. Ramsey's response? "What a mess!" Don't miss Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Robert Kiyosaki warns of a 'Greater Depression' coming to the US — with millions of Americans going poor. But he says these 2 'easy-money' assets will bring in 'great wealth'. How to get in now Financial infidelity Alice and her husband's finances weren't always smooth, as evidenced by her alluding to a past bankruptcy. However, thanks to a strong 2021 for her husband's real estate business, they wound up owing the IRS $82,000. The money was in the husband's business account, so Alice trusted him to pay them. Instead, he used it to cover other business expenses and a failed side venture without telling her. He also blew off their accountant. Their CPA eventually filed their taxes for them in 2023, sans signatures — an act Ramsey called illegal. 'That's a good way for the CPA to end up in jail,' he quipped. Alice's husband then proceeded to hide IRS notices from her regarding the tax debt. She only found out when she signed for a certificate letter from the IRS saying the agency intends to levy their home for $150,000. Alice turned to Ramsey for guidance: should she buy her husband's share of the house or use a second mortgage to cover the IRS bill? Ramsey assumed that by "buy him out," Alice intended to divorce her husband. After bantering with co-host Rachel Cruze over whether she meant 'bail him' out, Ramsey added that as a nurse, Alice probably had taxes withheld from her paychecks. Now, if Alice and her husband intend to go to marriage counseling, then, between his real estate income and her nursing income, they can pay off the tax debt themselves. But Ramsey added that Alice should sell the house if she's getting a divorce. There was some good news for Alice: she may not be responsible for the taxes in the event of a divorce. "You would file under what's called the innocent spouse provision," he explained. "You were not aware of these taxes; you were not aware of the business activities that created these taxes." Because of this, Ramsey said the IRS shouldn't hold her liable even if her filing status at the time of the debt was married filing jointly. However, he suggested that Alice hire a skilled tax attorney or a knowledgeable CPA to argue her case. Ramsey added that if the house has a lien and is sold, the IRS can only take the money out of the husband's portion if Alice gets approved for innocent spouse relief. But this only works if they get a divorce. Otherwise, Alice and her husband need to work on reestablishing trust. Stay in the know.

How innocent spouse relief works The IRS's innocent spouse relief program is designed to protect people like Alice from liability when their spouses underpay taxes on a joint tax return and they're unaware of it. If you're in a situation like hers, you may be eligible for innocent spouse relief. However, that relief only pertains to taxes on your spouse's income. You cannot claim innocent spouse relief for your income, household employment taxes, business taxes or certain other taxes. You can request innocent spouse relief if: You and your spouse filed a joint tax return Your taxes were underreported in error You did not know about errors on your tax return You reside in a community property state The IRS instructs people to request innocent spouse relief as soon as they become aware that they're on the hook for a tax bill. You must also request innocent spouse relief within two years of receiving a notice from the IRS about a tax bill. The IRS also says that if you didn't sign or consent to file a joint tax return with your spouse, you may be able to limit your responsibility for your spouse's taxes. You can call the number on your tax debt notice to learn more. This situation may apply to Alice, as she stated that their accountant filed their tax return without their signatures or consent. Of course, applying for innocent spouse relief does not guarantee approval. According to Jackson Hewitt Tax Services, in 2021, the IRS received over 26,000 innocent spouse relief requests but only approved about 4,800. Because approval is not guaranteed and there are many nuances involved, it may be best to consult a tax professional with expertise in the area rather than attempt to get relief on your own.

In 2025, Many Are Realizing Their Parents' Financial Advice Doesn't Fit Anymore. College At Any Cost And Avoiding Stocks? Maybe Not So Smart
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. For decades, advice like 'just get a degree' or 'buy a house as soon as you can' was seen as a sure path to financial stability. But in 2025, many are rethinking those old lessons. On Reddit's r/Frugal forum, a recent post asking which financial tips from older generations no longer apply sparked hundreds of honest, frustrated, and eye-opening replies. Loyalty Is Dead? Person after person pointed out how outdated the 'just work hard and stay loyal' mindset has become. 'Work hard and your employer will notice and take care of you' simply doesn't hold up today, one person wrote. Another added, 'Loyalty rarely gets rewarded anymore, and switching jobs every few years often leads to better pay and opportunities.' Don't Miss: The same firms that backed Uber, Venmo and eBay are investing in this pre-IPO company disrupting a $1.8T market — 'Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. One person got the advice to "Work hard and you'll be fine." But they say, 'I'm not fine. And I'm overworked!' The Degree Dilemma 'It doesn't matter what your degree is in, just get a degree and there will be plenty of jobs available when you graduate,' one commenter recalled hearing growing up. But today, many feel that was a setup. 'The Millennial experience was being told we have to go to college; find something you enjoy doing and expect jobs in it; don't worry about loans,' another wrote. 'Then being yelled at when we come out with debt, dumb degrees, and shitty jobs.' Another person said honestly: 'The pamphlet the college gave out said philosophy majors can make six figures!! We're long overdue for a class action on the absolute lies that were sold.' Even science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields, or STEM, long considered safe bets, aren't immune. People noted tech layoffs, unstable biotech sectors and private equity gutting hospitals and clinics. 'Gen Alpha kids are f*****,' one reply concluded. Trending: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a ? Homeownership No Longer Feels Like A Guarantee Buying a house used to be the gold standard of financial stability. Parents often said things like, 'Decide where you want to work, then buy a house near it,' assuming long-term job security. But that advice doesn't hold up when jobs are unstable and layoffs are common. As one person put it, 'You can't guarantee you'll get a job in the [same part of town where you buy a home]. Not to mention, what happens if/when you get laid off?' Homeownership itself is out of reach for many in the younger generations, even when they finally do own a home. 'My area is notorious for taxing homeowners a lot,' one commenter said, pointing to how repairs, property taxes and surprise expenses can drain savings. Another person shared: 'We are about to pay off our house but the costs to maintain it are nutty... maybe we sell it and pay rent.'The Pension Is Gone, And 401(k)s Aren't Magic One of the original poster's main points was about pensions. 'My dad told me to just get a job with a good pension,' they wrote, noting how rare that is now. Several replies echoed the reality: pensions barely exist outside of government jobs. And even then, they're often not as generous as people assume. Still, some people said the advice wasn't all bad—just outdated. 'Just replace 'get a good job with a good pension' with 'get a job with a good 401(k) match,' and it works,' one commenter suggested. Advice like 'don't spend more than 1/3 of your income on rent' also came up—and was mostly met with eye-rolls. 'It's still good advice,' one person said, 'but whether it's possible is a different matter.' 'Older folks think the best way to get the best deal on a car is to walk in with a sack of cash,' one person said. But in reality, most dealerships these days make their money from financing. Many believe that the economic landscape has shifted too much to make their parents' advice work. Wages haven't kept up with inflation, the cost of living has skyrocketed, and industries that once offered security have become unstable.

My employee is bad at his job but keeps saying he's doing great
columnist Alison Green answers questions about workplace and management issues—everything from how to deal with a micromanaging boss to how to talk to someone on your team about body odor. A reader asks: I recently hired a new administrative employee. His job is to answer phones, greet guests, and complete various tasks I assign to him. His customer service skills are strong, but his attention to detail is very weak. I have given him a lot of feedback and training, but he continues to make basic mistakes and misses almost every deadline I give him. But he is constantly telling me how great a job he's doing. He routinely tells me things like, 'You are going to be so happy when I show you what I've done for you!' or 'You are going to love me—I am making your life so much easier!' and then hands me a report that I have to spend a half-hour correcting. Yesterday, I told him to follow up with me when he completes tasks because I would rather he proactively inform me than wait for me to ask. His response: 'As you know, I always complete tasks immediately [ this is untrue ] but I didn't know you needed me to remind you of that. No problem at all!' This behavior is really grating on me. His work product hasn't improved and I'm starting to feel like he's trying to manipulate me into not giving him corrections. I'm starting to struggle giving him feedback because I feel like he ignores me and I'm letting that affect my interactions with him. Have I already arrived at the 'this needs to improve or else' conversation? He started just two months ago. I want to give him time to learn and grow, but my patience is zapped. Green responds: I'm sorry, I laughed out loud at 'As you know, I always complete tasks immediately [ this is untrue ].' You do need to have the 'this needs to improve or else' conversation. You've given him very basic feedback over and over, he's not improving, and he misses almost every deadline you give him. His overhyping of his own work makes this more concerning. If you could see that he was taking your feedback seriously, he understood that his work isn't where it needs to be, and he was working hard to incorporate your feedback, I'd say sure, give him some time to work on mastering the job. But when he's ignoring your feedback and telling you his work is superb when you've clearly told him it's not, that's a serious problem, and not the sort that time usually helps with. However! There's potentially some room for hope if you haven't been completely clear with him. When you've given him feedback and talked about mistakes, have you been clear that the work isn't at the level you need and that the pattern of mistakes is serious? And when he misses deadlines, have you told him clearly that it can't keep happening? (For example: 'This was due yesterday—what happened?' Followed by, 'It's really important that you turn in work by the agreed-upon deadline or tell me ahead of time if you're worried about your ability to do that.') If you haven't done those things, it's possible that this could turn this around. A lot of managers in your situation think, 'But I shouldn't need to do that! He should know that missing a deadline is a big deal, and that he needs to take feedback seriously.' And indeed, he should. But many employees miss the cues that managers think are obvious—and when you're frustrated with someone, the first step is to make sure that you've been really clear about the expectations you need them to meet. (In fact, whenever you're feeling frustrated with an employee, that's a flag to check how clear you've been.) If you've done those things and this is still happening, then yes, it's time for a serious conversation where you explain you can't keep him in the job if you don't see significant improvement on these fronts quickly. Interestingly, I think you can do all of this without directly addressing the 'I'm amazing' comments. By addressing the crux of the problem—his work is not what you need it to be—he'll probably get the message that his self-hype isn't in line with the reality. If he doesn't, that's not a great sign about how well he's processing your message. That said, if you want to address it, you can! You could say, 'I was surprised to hear you say you always complete tasks immediately when I've shared my concern about a number of missed deadlines recently.' Or you can take the hype as statements of his intentions rather than what he's actually done. For example, with his 'I am making your life so much easier!' comment, you could refer back to that later with something like, 'I know you want to make my life easier and I appreciate that—that's what I want from your role as well. When you give me a report with errors that I have to spend half an hour correcting, that's not happening. I need you to double-check your work before it comes to me so that you're spotting and correcting your own errors and I don't need to fix anything when it comes my way.' But I think if you keep the focus on the gap between the work he's producing and the work you need—and just consider the self-hype a strange and even amusing eccentricity —you'll figure out pretty quickly if he can succeed in the job or not, and that's what really matters.
