About Royal Helium Ltd.
Royal Helium is a production, infrastructure, and exploration
company with a primary focus on the development of helium and
associated gases. The Company's extensive footprint includes
prospective helium permits and leases across southern Saskatchewan and southeastern Alberta. Given the current and foreseeable
global undersupplied nature of this critical and non-renewable
product, Royal is well positioned to be a leading North American
producer of this increasingly high value commodity.
Royal's helium reservoirs are carried primarily with nitrogen.
Nitrogen is not considered a greenhouse gas (GHG) and therefore the
plant has a low GHG footprint when compared to plants in other
jurisdictions that rely on large scale natural gas production for
helium extraction. Helium extracted from wells in Saskatchewan and Alberta can be up to 90% less carbon intensive
than helium extraction processes in other jurisdictions.
