The Team
Helix Exploration board and management team have deep experience in the helium industry and growing companies on the public market.
Helix focuses on exploration of low-risk, large-scale, helium deposits within the Flathead Fairway. Helix plans to grow through appraisal drilling and near-term production from the Ingomar Dome Project, to become a disruptive new force in the North American helium sector, growing a production through exploration led discoveries as well as developing mid-stream capacities to sell helium directly to end-users.
