Overview of M3 Helium

Mendell Helium announced on 27 June 2024 that it has entered into an option agreement to acquire the entire issued share capital of M3 Helium through the issue of 57,611,552 new ordinary shares in Mendell Helium to M3 Helium's shareholders.  The exercise of the option will constitute a reverse takeover pursuant to AQSE Rule 3.6 of the Access Rule Book and is subject to, inter alia, publication of an admission document.

M3 Helium's flagship well, Rost 1-26, is in Fort Dodge, just to the east of Dodge City, Kansas.  It has been tested as containing 5.1% helium composition and a drill stem test yielded a maximum flow rate of approximately 2,900 Mcf per day.  M3 Helium owns a mobile Pressure Swing Adsorption production plant which has been installed on site and will be used to purify the produced helium.  The plant is capable of processing up to 800 Mcf per day of raw gas and purifying it up to 99.999% helium although management believes on-site purification to around 75% will be more practical.

Water removed from Rost 1-26 is delivered to Brobee, a nearby disposal well that has been permitted at 5,000 barrels of water per day at 1,200 psi.

Production at Rost 1-26 commenced in early November 2025.

M3 Helium also has interests in five producing wells (Peyton, Smith, Nilson, Bearman and Demmit) within the Hugoton gas field in South-Western Kansas, one of the largest natural gas fields in North America.  Significantly these wells are in the proximity of a gathering network and the Jayhawk gas processing plant meaning that producing wells are all tied into the infrastructure.

M3 Helium is also developing a Bitcoin mining operation in Nebraska where it has taken a lease of land prospective for biogenic methane and has drilled a pilot well (Jasper).  It is onboarded for custody with Bitgo Inc. and its Bitcoin treasury management policy is available at https://mendellhelium.com/bitcoin-treasury.
