Imperial Helium is a mid-tier Canadian company competing with major global players in the helium market. Unlike our early stage helium competitors, we’re sourcing high-value helium opportunities that are ready to extract, separate, and sell.
One of our defining principles is being best in class and partnering with like-minded external service providers. This will give our shareholders an amplified return on capital. Imperial Helium is working with best-in-class partners to solidify a strategic alliance and we look forward to bringing you further information on this.
Imperial Helium has developed a proprietary database of existing helium bearing well bores that are being evaluated for acquisition. Our targeting is focused on wells with proven concentration of helium and existing infrastructure. The analytical geoscience and engineering approach undertaken to source these helium opportunities eliminates the fiscal risk of finding uneconomic concentrations of helium in the exploration process.
Imperial Helium is focused on acquiring and seeking to produce helium from a concentrated scope of assets.
We Invite you to review our most recent presentation from December 2020.
