Global Helium Corp. announced that as part of this Board reconstitution and corporate transition, HECO also confirms the resignation of the following persons: Brad Nichol (CEO and director), Chris Cooper (director), Rod Nichol (director) and Wes Siemens (director). The Company wishes to thank each of the departing members for their contributions and support in progressing HECO to its current position and stage of development and wishes them all the best in their future endeavors.

The new HECO Board will be comprised of three directors, two of whom are independent, and include Mr. Kevin Cameron and Mr. Darcy Spady. The third is Jesse Griffith, who is HECO's newly appointed CEO, having served as President and a Director since May of 2022. Mr. Cameron has an extensive background across multiple industries, most recently as the CEO of Ionetix Corporation, a cutting-edge diagnostics and therapeutics company that manufactures superconducting cyclotrons for the point-of-care production of PET radioisotopes.

Kevin is also the Executive Chairman and co-founder of Glass Lewis, the world's second corporate governance and proxy advisory services firm. He served as President and General Counsel from 2003 to 2007, and then on Glass Lewis' Research Advisory Council from 2007 to 2019. Prior to co-founding Glass Lewis, he was general counsel of Moxi Digital, a technology venture that was sold to a company controlled by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen.

Previously, he was the general counsel at NorthPoint Communications, a publicly traded broadband telecommunications company. Kevin was an attorney with the corporate law firm of Kellogg, Huber, Hansen, Todd & Evans in Washington D.C. and served as a law clerk to the Hon. James L. Buckley of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

Mr. Spady holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Alberta and brings close to 40 years of energy industry engineering and leadership experience. Mr. Spady is currently the Managing Partner and co-founder of Carbon Connect International, a firm working with governments and the private sector to build technical capacity and develop pathways to achieve net zero emissions targets. Prior to co-founding Carbon Connect International, Darcy was the first ever Canadian President for the Society of Petroleum Engineers (International) after being elected to the position for 2018.

Prior to that, Darcy held executive and management positions at two Calgary-based TSX Venture Exchange companies and a Calgary-based global energy services company. Prior to moving to Calgary, Mr. Spady was based in Charleston, West Virginia and Fredericton, New Brunswick, serving in various management positions as part of the Columbia Natural Resources /Triana Energy team, that sold to Chesapeake Energy for $2.2 billion USD in 2005. The combined experience and leadership of Mr. Cameron and Mr. Spady will help HECO navigate the evolving landscape of helium development and guide the Company through its next phase of growth.
