TSXV: HELI     OTCQB: FHELF    FRA: 2MC

A PREMIUM HELIUM PROJECT


WORSLEY AREA

  • 53,000 Acres on Core Project, 100%-Owned, multi-zone drilling opportunities for helium, natural gas and oil
  • “15-25” Discovery Well Tested 1.3% Helium, 3rd Party Evaluation, peer-group-leading helium resource
  • Two Key Plays:
    • Blue Ridge Play - Regional horizontal repeatable natural gas play with associated helium content which increases netback economics by 3 – 4x of a typical natural gas well.
    • Leduc Play - Large inventory of Leduc drilling targets identified on proprietary 3D seismic, including a recently interpreted, significant structure on trend with past discoveries.
  • Ten-year, take-or-pay, with first 5 years firm price, helium offtake sales agreement and 20% volume availability for direct/alternative sales strategies
  • “5-27” Horizontal Helium Target, ready to test and complete, Sets Up Potential Regional Play

land package covering the prolific Leduc Reef Trend in Northern Alberta, Canada.


WORSLEY UNDEVELOPED LANDS

NoPath Copy 7


Along the Worsley Trend, oil and gas companies have drilled over 270 wells into the Leduc Formation or deeper. This provides First Helium with an excellent data set to pursue the exploration for helium and hydrocarbons along the trend.


WORSLEY AREA POTENTIAL

NoPath Copy 7

The Leduc Formation consists of a series of patch reefs and associated marine rock units that were deposited along the northern flank of the Peace River Arch. Pools along this trend have produced more than 140 billion cubic feet of natural gas. Approximately 80% of the Leduc wells produced natural gas along with helium, and 20% produced oil.

The Company estimates that the Leduc Formation has produced about 1 billion cubic feet of unrecovered helium in historical natural gas production.

First Helium’s discovery well 15-25, drilled in 1999, contains 1.3% helium and 26% nitrogen. The operator shut the well in and didn’t produce it due to high nitrogen content, and lower heating value natural gas. However, today the value of the helium changes the economics of these wells.

The granitic rocks underlying the area generate helium from natural radioactive decay. The helium has migrated up into the same rocks that trap hydrocarbons. The Peace River Arch and the Worsley Trend in particular, host multiple formations in addition to the Leduc that contain such traps.
