RHL's Strategic Objectives

RHL is focused on helium production from its helium permits and leases in Saskatchewan. RHL is one of the largest helium lease and permit holders in North America, with land that was acquired both from the Crown and via freehold lease agreements. All of the land acquired was subject to through analysis of existing well data, seismic and geological data and is associated with some of the highest known helium concentrations in Saskatchewan. The Company's properties are all in close vicinity to highways, roads, cities and oil & gas infrastructure. Helium is a non-substitutable and non-renewable commodity needed in the high-tech and health care industries, with specific applications in rocketry, semiconductors, electronics, and health care. As these sectors continue to expand, the demand for helium expands in concert.

Saskatchewan is a known helium producing regions, with multiple wells currently producing, and is a strategic location for continued exploration and development of helium. Helium is created through the breakdown of uranium and thorium and Saskatchewan is well known for having some of the highest uranium concentrations in the world.

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RHL together with its wholly owned subsidiary, Royal Helium Exploration Limited ("Royal Helium").

Helium Prospects

Helium Market

The global helium market continues to be under significant supply pressures, as demand continues to outstrip supply. In North America, there has been no significant new source of supply impacting the market in several years. Royal Helium is well poised to be one of the much-needed new suppliers in the short term, aiding to fulfill a supply void felt from the removal of the United States Strategic Helium reserve in 2018. The ongoing mismatch of supply and demand has caused dramatic price movement since 2018, with prices rising by over 100% for this vital and irreplaceable inert gas.

Helium is valuable due to its completely inert nature. It is the only element on the periodic table that will not bind or react with any other element. Its properties also allow it to have the lowest boiling point on any element, and it can remain as a liquid until near absolute zero. These properties allow helium to act as the most effective super coolant on the market as well as a superconductor and purification gas that has no rivals. Helium acts as a cooling medium for superconducting magnets in MRI scanners, NMR spectrometers and other areas of scientific research. Helium has also been used to keep satellite instruments cool and is essential for space travel and rocketry. Helium is an essential in the manufacturing of many of the high-tech electronics and supporting network infrastructure that society uses every day, as well as being on the leading edge of new developments, both high-tech and scientific. Helium is often used to provide lift for weather balloons and airships because of its low density. Due to its unreactive nature, helium is used to provide an inert protective atmosphere essential for making fiber optics and semiconductors and for arcwelding various metal. Helium has applications in leak detection in multiple
