What Pulsar Helium does
Pulsar Helium Inc. is a publicly traded primary helium exploration and development company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (PLSR), AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange (PLSR), and OTCQB (PSRHF). The company focuses on discovering and developing helium deposits where helium is the primary economic target rather than a byproduct of hydrocarbon extraction, addressing structural supply concentration risk in the global helium market where Qatar provides approximately 35% of world supply and where the U.S. Federal Helium Reserve has been undergoing privatization. Its core asset is the Topaz Project in Lake County, Minnesota, where seven Jetstream wells achieved a 100% drilling success rate, with helium-4 concentrations up to 14.5% (versus a 0.3% economic threshold) and independently verified helium-3 concentrations up to 14.5 parts per billion. The company also operates the Tunu Project in East Greenland (62 sq km license, helium contents of at least 0.8%) and the Falcon Project in Michigan's Upper Peninsula (option agreement covering 488,090 acres with Keweenaw Land Association).
The company's technical approach relies on conventional vertical drilling to depths of 2,597–5,638 feet without hydraulic fracturing, proprietary geological models for primary helium deposit identification, 2D seismic surveys (41.5 miles across five lines using Vibroseis technology processed by Earth Signal in Calgary), and multi-well flow and pressure build-up testing. Jetstream #1 was flow-tested at a peak rate of 1.3 million cubic feet per day at 8.1% helium concentration, with bottom-hole pressures across the well program ranging from 576 psi to 1,292 psi. Pulsar has signed a Letter of Intent with Chart Industries (NYSE: GTLS) for an integrated CO2 capture and helium liquefaction facility. The company is led by co-founder and CEO Thomas Abraham-James, a 17-year helium geologist, alongside a management team with deep oil and gas, industrial gas, and capital markets experience.
Pulsar Helium is pre-revenue and generates no commercial sales as of mid-2026. Its planned revenue model rests on four streams: helium-4 production and sale to industrial gas distributors and end-users (semiconductor, quantum computing, healthcare MRI, aerospace, fiber optics) through long-term offtake agreements; helium-3 isotope sales at approximately US$2,500 per liter for quantum computing, fusion research, and cryogenic applications; carbon dioxide sales from the gas mixture (explicitly authorized under Minnesota legislation signed May 2026); and mineral rights leasing across approximately 690 net mineral acres owned outright plus 4,941 net mineral acres under lease at Topaz. Distribution will be regional (North America initially) via direct enterprise sales to industrial gas majors and technology end-users, with Chart Industries supplying processing infrastructure. First production is targeted for late 2025/H1 2026, with formal pricing to be established through future offtake negotiations.

Revenue model
- Helium Production and Sales: Pulsar Helium plans to generate revenue through the production and sale of helium gas extracted from its primary helium projects. The company has signed a Letter of Intent with Chart Industries for an integrated CO2 capture and helium liquefaction facility. Expected first production targeted for late 2025/H1 2026. Revenue will come from selling helium to industrial gas distributors, semiconductor manufacturers, healthcare companies, and aerospace contractors through long-term offtake agreements.
- Helium-3 Isotope Sales: The rare helium-3 isotope, verified at concentrations among the highest naturally occurring levels worldwide, commands prices of approximately US$2,500 per liter (over $18 million per kg). This represents a potential high-value by-product stream for quantum computing, fusion research, and cryogenic applications.
- Carbon Dioxide Sales: CO2 is present in the gas mixture at Topaz and represents a potential value-add product due to ongoing shortage in the USA. Minnesota legislation signed in May 2026 explicitly allows carbon dioxide sales from helium production.
- Mineral Rights Leasing: Pulsar holds approximately 690 net mineral acres owned outright and 4,941 net mineral acres under lease at Topaz, with majority carrying a competitive 3% royalty rate. The company may select up to 20,000 net acres under formal Non-Hydrocarbon Gas Lease upon exercising Michigan option.

Pulsar Helium product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Pulsar Helium is a primary helium exploration and development company that acquires, explores, and develops helium assets where helium is the principal economic driver rather than a byproduct of hydrocarbon production. The company operates the flagship Topaz Project in Minnesota (USA), the Tunu Project in Greenland, and the Falcon Project in Michigan, with plans to extract and sell helium, helium-3, and carbon dioxide through long-term offtake agreements with industrial gas companies and technology end-users.
Product overview
Pulsar Helium is a primary helium exploration and development company operating two distinct projects: the Topaz Project in Minnesota, USA (100% owned) and the Tunu Project in Greenland (100% owned). The company focuses on discovering and developing helium resources where helium is the primary economic driver rather than a byproduct of hydrocarbon production. At Topaz, the company has discovered high-grade helium concentrations (up to 14.5%), along with the rare isotope helium-3 and potential CO2 by-product. Pulsar plans to construct a helium and CO2 capture facility in partnership with Chart Industries. The company also operates the Falcon Project in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, acquired through the purchase of Hybrid Hydrogen Inc. and option agreements with Keweenaw Land Association. The company is listed on TSXV (PLSR), AIM (PLSR), and OTCQB (PSRHF).
