Pulsar Helium begins 2-D seismic survey at Topaz

Executive Summary

• Pulsar Helium Inc. has commenced an extensive 2-D active seismic acquisition program at its Topaz Helium Project in Minnesota to elucidate subsurface structure and aid in resource assessment and target selection for future drilling.
• The survey, conducted by Faraday Geophysics, involves five seismic lines spanning 41.5 miles (66.8 km) and is scheduled to run from January 20, 2026, through mid-March 2026.
• The company is employing low-impact seismic (LIS) practices to minimize environmental disturbance and has secured all necessary permits from key stakeholders, including the US Forest Service and Minnesota state agencies.

Key Details

• Survey Scope: Acquisition of five 2-D seismic lines totaling 41.5 miles (66.8 kilometers).
• Contractor: Faraday Geophysics of Canada.
• Timeline: Commenced January 20, 2026; anticipated completion mid-March 2026.
• Methodology: Uses Vibroseis technology to generate sound waves that bounce off subsurface layers, recorded by wireless geophone nodes (10 inches or smaller) placed on the ground and retrieved manually.
• Environmental Approach: Implementation of Low-Impact Seismic (LIS) techniques to minimize timber loss, reduce travel corridors, and avoid surface disturbance in forested areas.
• Permitting Status: All necessary permits obtained from the United States Forest Service, Minnesota Department of Transportation, Lake County, Department of Natural Resources, and private landowners.
• Project Context: The Topaz project is a primary helium discovery containing helium-4, helium-3, and CO2, not associated with hydrocarbon production. Multiple wells have confirmed a laterally extensive helium-rich gas reservoir.
• Strategic Goal: Data will support the ongoing Jetstream multiwell appraisal program to map reservoir extent, pressure regime, and gas composition for resource estimation and development planning.
