VVC’s portfolio of helium and industrial gas assets continues to expand

VVC’s helium strategy was to increase its helium reserves primarily by leasing mineral rights in proven oil and gas fields in Kansas and Colorado in the North American helium belt. Each eligible lease has at least one well that has been tested for helium but has never been produced before. This target profile will give VVC more data on where to drill and certainty of gas production capacity.

Over the past 18 months, VVC has acquired significant helium assets. The company will continue to lease to complete multiple helium projects in Kansas and Colorado, and will lease new projects on an opportunistic basis, but our focus is on getting as many resources into production as quickly as possible. is to We currently have 6 projects leased, and he has 3 others that we continue to lease.

Portfolio company Proton Green maintains aggressive growth

VVC owns approximately 14% of energy transition company Proton Green. Proton Green is poised to become one of the leading helium producers and carbon sequestration hubs in North America. The company focuses on green helium production, carbon sequestration, and food grade carbon dioxide production.

Proton Green’s focus project, St Johns, has third-party geological resources of up to 33 billion cubic feet of helium in easily accessible reservoirs capable of producing 1 billion cubic feet of helium per year. Most helium is extracted from natural gas deposits, but the helium produced at St. John’s is unique in that it is hydrocarbon-free. In addition to helium production, Proton Green has the capacity to inject 22 million tons of CO.₂ It has a total storage capacity of over 1 billion tonnes per year and is eligible for tax credits related to carbon capture.

VVC will leverage Proton Green’s 14% ownership to finance additional helium wells in the next phase of helium development at the currently leased Kansas facility, and potentially other I’m trying to fund a project.

VVC adds copper and silica properties to its mining portfolio while preparing Gloria for production

Gloria Copper Project: Gloria, VVC’s near-fully-licensed copper project, combines 184 million pounds of indicated and inferred copper resources in less than one-third of known mineralized zones. It hosts copper oxide mineralization. During the COVID shutdown, our team in Mexico stepped up our handling methods. This is expected to lead to higher recoveries than previously expected for copper, gold and silver in mineralized rocks. Subject to securing sufficient funding, the Gloria Project will be ready for pilot mining and can begin producing copper, gold and silver within nine months of funding.

El Recreo and La Osa: VVC has filed claims for two copper and gold properties scheduled in Mexico in 2021, pending approval. El Recreo is a 2,000+ acre copper and gold estate near Mazatlan and La Osa is a 3,000 acre copper and gold estate in Northern Sonora. Both of these are exploration properties.

silica: New business for VVC – The company has seen the value of silica enhanced by the energy transition in recent years and is looking to capitalize on this opportunity. VVC is exploring multiple avenues for silica production. Waste rock from one of VVC’s current projects can now be refined into 98% pure silica. Additionally, VVC claims that northern Sonora contains over 90% naturally occurring pure silica. The company is also looking to acquire additional claims in the western United States and is targeting the launch of its silica division in 2023.
