LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM / / April 10, 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, OTC: BSNLF) ("Blue Star") announcement issued today regarding the Galactica Project.
Summary
Jackson-29 well successfully drilled to total depth ("TD") of 1,183ft (360m) 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 61ft (18.5m) 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
Jackson-29 Well Drilling and Initial Flow Test Results
The well encountered the Lyons Formation at a depth of 1,122ft (342m) MD and was completed 61ft (18.5m) into the Upper Lyons Sandstone Formation at 1,183ft (360m). Thewell exhibited strong natural flow during drilling and at TD, in line with the recent 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 as well as a significant portion of the Lower Lyons Sandstone Formation will be gas saturated. This well targeted the highest quality sandstone at the top of the Upper Lyons Sandstone Formation which is well 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 Jackson-29, the well will be completed, ready to be tied-in to production facilities.
The rig will soon be mobilised to the Jackson-27 SWSE 3054 (Jackson-27) well location where pad construction is underway.
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 with the State-16 well which was drilled in June 2024 and the Jackson-31 well drilled in February 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.
Applying the same methodology, the Jackson-31 well is capable of a maximum rate of 500 Mcfd with more stabilised rates constrained for production optimisation projected to be between 300 and 400 Mcfd.
The third-party owned Red Rocks helium project adjoins Blue Star's Galactica Project. 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 covering 1,664km2 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.

Starmer, Carney Reboot UK-Canada Trade Talks Ahead of G-7
(Bloomberg) -- The UK will seek to restart trade negotiations with Canada, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said, as he strives to strengthen commercial ties around the world to better insulate Britain's economy from the fallout of US President Donald Trump's tariff war. Shuttered NY College Has Alumni Fighting Over Its Future NYC Renters Brace for Price Hikes After Broker-Fee Ban Do World's Fairs Still Matter? As Part of a $45 Billion Push, ICE Prepares for a Vast Expansion of Detention Space As American Architects Gather in Boston, Retrofits Are All the Rage 'The world is changing on trade and the economy,' Starmer told reporters on Saturday on his way to meet Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. 'That means we need to do more securing our base at home and turbo-charging what we are doing on the cost of living and at the same time reducing trade barriers with other countries.' Starmer and Carney agreed to establish a new working group to 'deepen our existing trading relationship,' with a deadline to report back in six months, according to a joint statement by the leaders Sunday. The group will be asked to deal with market access questions, and explore ways to cooperate on critical minerals and artificial intelligence. While the two nations reached a trade continuity deal in the wake of the UK's departure from the European Union, talks for a bespoke deal to cover bilateral trade worth an annual £27.5 billion ($37 billion) stalled last year after a dispute over beef, when neither Starmer nor Carney was yet in office. Both nations are also members of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, known as CPTPP. Carney agreed his government will aim to introduce legislation this year to ratify the UK's accession into that trade deal — a move that would lower tariffs between the countries. Starmer will use the G-7 summit to argue that in a shifting global economy, the UK must retain its proud status as a free and open trading nation by strengthening existing alliances while reducing barriers to trade with other countries, his office said. A trade deal with Canada was not listed as a priority for the UK government last year, when Trade Minister Douglas Alexander named agreements with the Gulf Cooperation Council, India, Israel, the Republic of Korea, Switzerland, and Turkey as the areas his department was focusing on. But Trump's return to the White House and his ratcheting up of tariffs against countries around the world has forced UK negotiators to recalibrate — seeking exemptions from the US levies while also casting a wider net in their search for new deals. Canada was the 13th biggest destination for UK exports in 2024, taking in £16.9 billion of British goods and services, according to UK statistics. It was the 17th biggest source of imports into Britain, with goods and services worth £10.6 billion crossing the Atlantic. Since Starmer took office last July, his Labour government has struck a free trade deal with India and also smaller deals with the US and EU on trade and defense. Under the US deal, which has yet to be implemented, the Americans would scrap tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from the UK and cut levies on cars to 10% from 27.5%. Starmer said in an interview with Bloomberg News on Friday that he's 'hoping that we will complete it pretty soon,' and that there are no 'hiccups or obstacles.' The premier is trying to strike a delicate balance between his friendly relationship with Trump — the UK is the only country so far to agree to a slimmed-down trade agreement amid his threats of tariffs — while also standing up for British allies with whom Trump has been more confrontational. When asked for a response on Trump's continued threats to make Canada a 51st state of the US, Starmer said he was 'absolutely clear' that Canada is 'an independent, sovereign country and a much-valued member of the Commonwealth' — his strongest public defense of the country yet. Canada's head of state is King Charles III, who recently visited Ottawa to help open a new session of Parliament following a national election that returned Carney's Liberal Party to power for another term.
