Royal Helium Ltd. announced that the Company has commenced loading purified helium into specialized ISO trailers at its Steveville helium purification facility, marking the start of commercial sales from its facility located in Southeastern Alberta. Volumes from this first facility commences fulfillment of the Company's offtake agreement with its major North American aerospace customer, which has contracted to purchase Steveville facility volumes over the next several years. These existing offtake agreements, established over the past two years, deliver volumes at an average price that exceeds USD 500 per mcf.

Given the increasing demand for purified helium combined with the current geopolitical backdrop further constraining supply of key resources, Royal Helium anticipates a robust pricing environment for the foreseeable future. Royal Helium's high margin production activities and corresponding operating cash flow will be supportive of the Company's plans to add several additional purification facilities in the upcoming calendar year. The Company is in discussions with numerous parties interested in establishing offtake agreements relating to its forthcoming facilities.

Royal Helium looks forward to establishing additional, strong and long-term relationships with key industry players who require helium in support of critical industries, including healthcare, chip manufacturing, aerospace, and others.
