Pulsar Helium Inc. (Pulsar) (TSXV:PLSR) & (OTCQB:PSRHF), one of the USA’s most prominent, multi-project ‘Green Helium’ exploration companies, has made the decision to pursue a dual-listing on the London Stock Exchange’s AIM Market. With many of Pulsar’s core team hailing from the UK and London’s AIM Market emerging as a global hub for industrial gas companies, the timing appears favourable. In recent months, companies in this sector have thrived on AIM, benefiting from strong investor support. Additionally, there has been growing interest from UK retail investors, and together both factors have encouraged Pulsar to pursue a dual-listing, which would make it easier for their British network and a broader investor base to participate in the company’s growth.
On a broader scale, the global helium market is gaining significant attention, driven by its vital role in high-tech industries, such as semiconductors, medical devices, and space exploration. Helium’s unique properties make it essential for many applications, but its rarity and the complex extraction process pose major challenges. Russia and Qatar are key players in the global helium market, with both countries holding significant helium reserves. However, geopolitical factors pose challenges to their helium production. Russia, as a top-three helium producer, faces restrictions due to sanctions, which limit its ability to supply helium to Western markets. Meanwhile, Qatar’s helium production, although substantial, is susceptible to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which could impact supply chains and export stability. These factors underscore the vulnerability of global helium supplies to political events and highlight the need for diversified ‘Safe Jurisdiction’ sources of helium to mitigate supply risks. Pulsar, with its assets in the USA and Greenland, is well-positioned to capitalise on the growing demand and supply shortages in the helium market.
