In a groundbreaking development for helium exploration, Pulsar Helium Inc.<\/a> has announced a significant milestone at their Topaz project in Minnesota.<\/h2>\n

At 2:05 AM CST on February 28th, the Jetstream #1 appraisal well reached a total depth of 2,200 feet (671 meters), marking a pivotal moment in helium exploration at the Company’s flagship Topaz project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Exciting helium concentrations encountered at the Topaz project<\/h3>\n

Prior to reaching total depth, the drilling operation unearthed promising signs of helium between depths of 1,750 to 2,200 feet (533 \u2013 671 meters).<\/p>\n

The concentrations observed were staggering, with helium levels peaking at an impressive 12.4%, as confirmed by on-site mass spectrometer measurements.<\/p>\n

Upon reaching total depth, the well underwent conditioning with air to facilitate the removal of residual drill fluid.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, the well commenced a natural flow of helium-rich gas, an event witnessed at 6:30 AM CST as the gas surged to the surface.<\/p>\n

Over a five-hour clean-up period, the mudlog gas composition exhibited a notable increase from 3.7% to 5.1% helium.<\/p>\n

The geological composition remained uniform along the well, alternating between troctolite and anorthosite, both types being mafic igneous rocks with occasional fractures.<\/p>\n

Pulsar’s President & CEO, Thomas Abraham-James, emphasised the significance of the results: “This is an outstanding result. I am delighted that helium has been identified in the Jetstream #1 appraisal well.<\/p>\n

“It is a big day for helium exploration, confirming the original discovery in the new jurisdiction of Minnesota. I look forward to keeping the market updated with further results as they are received.\u201d<\/p>\n
