The Current State of Helium: Global Markets, Valuation Methods, and Exploration: A Bubble, an Expanding Balloon or a New Normal?
What has been labeled as Helium 4.0 is transforming the world in exploration and production of helium in how to value projects. The world is currently undergoing a major helium shortage that is impacting the ability of hospitals to run MRI machines, universities to conduct experiments, and silicon chip manufacturers to continue production. Even party balloons have become unaffordable. One aspect of the ability to successfully raise that capital is to be able to properly communicate, through the valuation process, the current and future value and potential of the project. The UK, Canada, Australia and the US all provide exchanges for companies to raise public capital in order to further various helium developments and each country has their own advantages and challenges when it comes to public capital. Some of the regulatory bodies for the various stock exchanges have issued recent guidance on the reporting of helium volumes and valuations while others are still trying to conclude new guidance. Thus, understanding the rules and regulations that vary between the markets is key. This presentation will review the basics of the global helium market, fundamentals of why helium exploration and production is different, and highlight the opportunities that exist with each of the primary markets for public capital and review the key elements that are different between the regulations with respect to the reporting of helium; both the volumes and the valuations.
