Avanti Helium Corp. announced that it has contracted T&S Drilling ("T&S") to drill its WNG 10-21 helium appraisal well ("WNG 10-21") into the WNG helium pool in the Greater Knappen region of Montana. WNG 10-21 lease construction has been completed and T&S is preparing to mobilize the rig with a target to spud WNG 10- 21 by the end of September.

WNG 10-21 is located approximately 1 km west of Avanti's WNG 11-22 helium well and 50 m down structure in the WNG helium pool. WNG 10-21 is planned to be drilled to a total depth of approximately 5,500 ft and will target both the Flathead Cambrian Sandstone and Souris River zones for potential helium production. Avanti's discovery well, WNG 11-22, led to a total unrisked contingent resource estimate of 187MMcf of net recoverable helium gas (based on a raw gas estimate of 17 billion cubic feet ("Bcf") recoverable and net helium concentration of 1.1%) prepared by McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. WNG 10-21 has similar geological and seismic characteristics to the Company's discovery well.

By delineation drilling down structure from WNG 11-22 to further define the WNG helium pool, Avanti believes that there is significant potential to expand its aerial extent and increase the existing helium resource. The WNG 10-21 appraisal well will help to confirm the aerial extents of the reservoir and will provide operational efficiencies in both facility planning and production operations in the area." Greater Knappen 100% of the contingent resources disclosed in this news release are located in the Greater Knappen property and are classified as Development Pending with a Chance of Development of 90%. There are no technical contingencies preventing the classification of economic contingent resources as reserves as all economic contingent resource are considered "discovered" and are based on established technology.

The non-technical contingencies that must be resolved before these resources may be classified as reserves are the establishment of processing and sale agreements, and corporate commitment to develop these assets in a timely fashion.
