Latest Helium Exploration News

Noble Helium has rebuilt its balance sheet ahead of drilling at Tanzania’s North Rukwa project, but its auditor has warned that future capital raisings remain critical to the company’s survival. The Kinambo campaign is now moving from preparation to execution, with two wells planned and a prospective helium resource still to be proven.

Grand Gulf Energy has reported a sharply wider FY2026 loss after impairing $15.03 million of Red Helium exploration assets. The auditor also flagged material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue without further capital.

D3 Energy has successfully cased and cemented two wells at its Nooitgedacht project in South Africa, detecting gas in both despite challenging reservoir conditions. Testing awaits reservoir pressure normalization.

Gold Hydrogen’s Ramsay 2 flow test has validated a laterally extensive helium-bearing Kulpara Dolomite reservoir with up to 20% helium purity, reinforcing the project’s commercial potential and advancing resource certification efforts.

Noble Helium is set to acquire Earth Source Hydrogen, gaining control of 40,000 square kilometres of helium prospective acreage in Western Australia’s Southern Carnarvon Basin. This strategic move complements its Tanzania project and positions the company to tap into growing global helium demand.

D3 Energy has overcome a brief weather-induced pause at its Nooitgedacht helium project in South Africa, with drilling operations set to restart and production testing planned shortly.

Gold Hydrogen has successfully flowed, purified, and bottled helium at its Ramsay 1 well, confirming a highly productive reservoir and advancing the project towards commercial viability with promising helium rates and purity.

D3 Energy has expanded its helium resource base significantly in South Africa, certifying a maiden contingent resource at ER386 that boosts combined helium resources by 65%. The company also certified its first Australian prospective resource and started drilling at Nooitgedacht in ER315.

D3 Energy has begun drilling the first of two wells at its Nooitgedacht site in South Africa’s ER315 permit, aiming to boost helium reserves and support production right conversions.

Thor Energy has awarded a significant 2D seismic survey contract to Velseis for its HY-Range Project, aiming to refine exploration targets for natural hydrogen and helium in South Australia.

Thor Energy’s latest soil air geochemistry survey at its HY-Range Project in South Australia has recorded natural hydrogen concentrations up to 3%, far surpassing previous readings and validating key exploration areas ahead of a major seismic survey.

Macallum New Energy has expanded its exploration prospects in the underexplored southern North Perth Basin with a new oil and gas prospect, Aberfeldy, and plans to pursue helium and hydrogen exploration following recent regulatory changes.
