Company Overview

Helium One Global Limited is an exploration-stage company focused on the discovery and development of primary helium resources. The company operates within the energy and industrial gases sector, with a specific emphasis on helium exploration, a niche commodity critical for medical imaging, semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, and scientific research. Helium One does not currently generate operating revenue and remains pre-production, with value driven primarily by exploration success and resource delineation.

The company’s core strategic positioning is its focus on primary (non-hydrocarbon-associated) helium systems, which are relatively rare globally and offer the potential for lower-carbon helium production. Helium One was incorporated in 2015 and listed on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange in 2020, later obtaining an OTC listing in the United States under the ticker HLOGF. Since inception, the company has concentrated its efforts on Tanzania, assembling a large and geologically distinctive land position considered prospective for helium accumulations.

Business Operations

Helium One’s operations are centered on upstream mineral exploration, with its primary activities involving geological surveys, geophysical data acquisition, seismic interpretation, and exploratory drilling. The company operates through a single principal business segment, helium exploration, and does not currently report diversified operating segments or downstream processing activities. Its business model is to identify and appraise commercially viable helium resources that could be developed independently or in partnership.

All operational activities are conducted through wholly owned subsidiaries, most notably Helium One Global Tanzania Limited, which holds the company’s Tanzanian licenses. The company controls exploration assets across multiple prospective basins and utilizes a combination of proprietary geological models and third-party service providers for seismic and drilling operations. As of the latest publicly available disclosures, Helium One has no producing assets and no long-term offtake agreements.

Strategic Position & Investments

The company’s strategic direction is focused on advancing its flagship Tanzanian helium assets from exploration toward appraisal and potential development. Key growth initiatives include systematic drilling campaigns, resource definition, and technical de-risking of identified prospects. Helium One has periodically raised capital through equity offerings to fund exploration programs, reflecting its status as an early-stage resource company.

Strategically, the company has prioritized its Rukwa Basin acreage following evidence of surface helium seeps and drilling results indicating helium shows. It has also held interests in other Tanzanian basins, although portfolio rationalization has occurred as the company concentrates capital on its most advanced prospects. Helium One has not completed any material acquisitions of producing companies and does not maintain a diversified investment portfolio; its asset base is almost entirely organic exploration licenses.

Geographic Footprint

Helium One’s operational footprint is highly concentrated in East Africa, with all active exploration licenses located in Tanzania. The company’s flagship projects are situated in the Rukwa Rift Basin in southwest Tanzania, an area characterized by active tectonics and geological conditions considered favorable for helium migration and trapping.

Corporate headquarters and management functions are based in London, United Kingdom, reflecting its AIM listing and access to UK capital markets. While the company is publicly traded in both the UK and the United States (OTC), it has no operational assets outside Tanzania and no current international production or development activities beyond its Tanzanian license areas.

Helium One Global Limited is led by a management team with experience in natural resource exploration, capital markets, and African operations. The leadership emphasizes a disciplined, science-led exploration strategy and a focus on helium as a strategically important and supply-constrained commodity.
