Subject: HELI news release, see attached. PDF Document File: Attachment HELI - NR - Option Agreement - 21 09 14.pdf TSXV: HELI FRA: 2MC NEWS RELEASE First Helium Highlights Exclusive Option to Access Over 880,000 Acres of Highly Prospective Southern Alberta Land The Company Is Evaluating Multiple Additional Targets within the Land Package Near Existing Helium Production Calgary, Alberta, September 14, 2021 /CNW/ First Helium Inc. ("First Helium" or the "Company") (TSXV: HELI) (FRA: 2MC), a helium exploration company with access to significant development opportunities across western Canada, is pleased to highlight continued progress on its evaluation of highly prospective helium exploration lands in Southern Alberta. The Company secured the option agreement (the "Option") with a large independent royalty company (the "Optionor") in May 2021 specifically to review the Optionor's seismic database within the 357,220 net hectares (approximately 880,000 acres) of optioned lands (the "Option Land Block") for targets prospective for helium. "We are extremely pleased with our ongoing evaluation of the Option Land Block. The Option provides a tremendous opportunity for a growing helium explorer to evaluate, on an exclusive priority basis, such a vast amount of seismic data on a large land base, near existing helium production," said Ed Bereznicki, President & CEO of First Helium. "The option structure is ideal as it gives us immediate access to a contiguous land package in an area with known helium content indications, and a significant amount of seismic data which would take many years and tens of millions of dollars to generate", added Mr. Bereznicki. The Option Land Block is located near existing helium production in Southern Alberta. Historical gas analyses from numerous well penetrations on, and in the vicinity of, the Option Land Block indicate helium content ranging from 0.5% to greater than 2.0%. "These prospective lands, which include areas that have historically produced unrecovered helium gas along with targeted hydrocarbons, strategically augment our helium development project at Worsley and set the stage for a second potential core area to be explored and developed by the Company," added Mr. Bereznicki. The Option provides First Helium with access to approximately 900 square kilometers of three- dimensional seismic data and 530 kilometers of two-dimensional seismic data for priority evaluation over the large contiguous land base. Ready access to a large seismic database, necessary for de-risking helium exploration over a large prospective land base, facilitates an accelerated exploration cycle for the Company in connection with the Option Land Block. Details of the Option are more fully described in the Company's Final Prospectus, dated June 28, 2021. ABOUT FIRST HELIUM First Helium is a helium exploration and development company operating in the Worsley area of Alberta, Canada. It was founded to capitalize on the untapped potential of significant helium resources in Western Canada, in response to the shifting supply dynamics of the global marketplace. Building on its successful discovery well, which has production tested at over 1.3% of helium content over three test periods, First Helium is working to develop its land base of over 32,000 hectares along the highly prospective Worsley helium trend. To establish its operating base, First Helium seeks to market its helium gas into the North American market via term off- take marketing arrangements with established third-party distribution companies.
