Latest Helium Resources News

HyTerra's McCoy-1 well production test in Kansas reveals low gas saturation but notable helium concentrations, prompting a pause on further testing at the site as the company refines its geologic hydrogen strategy.

D3 Energy has successfully drilled and intersected gas in the first of two wells at its Nooitgedacht site in South Africa, with the second well underway. The results support expanding helium reserves and future production rights.

Thor Energy reported a robust cash position of A$2.8 million at June 30, 2026, and confirmed natural hydrogen concentrations up to 3% at its HY-Range Project. The company awarded a fully funded 464 line-kilometre 2D seismic survey to Velseis, marking a key step towards drilling.

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 secured independent certification of maiden prospective resources for helium, hydrogen, and methane in its South Australian PEL121 permit, establishing a significant new critical gases footprint.

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.

D3 Energy has significantly boosted its helium resource estimates in South Africa's Free State with a newly certified 14 BCF helium contingent resource at ER386, lifting combined recoverable helium to 35.6 BCF across its key permits.

D3 Energy has significantly expanded its South African helium footprint with new Exploration Rights and a Technical Cooperation Permit, while completing a well-supported A$6.12 million placement to fund upcoming drilling and development activities.

Noble Helium has secured $12 million in a two-tranche placement to advance its North Rukwa helium project in Tanzania, positioning itself as a key player amid a global helium supply disruption caused by Middle East conflicts.

Blue Star Helium has successfully started helium production at its Pinon Canyon plant, marking a key milestone as it prepares for commercial sales and expansion in 2026.

Central Petroleum has amended its sub-salt exploration permit sale, excluding the EP82 permit and retaining Helium Australia Pty Ltd, while anticipating a $4.2 million impairment charge in FY26.

Noble Helium advances its North Rukwa helium project with a confirmed five-hole drilling campaign and a significant resource upgrade, backed by leadership changes and shareholder funding.
