Helium Ventures plc 
                     ("Helium Ventures" or the "Company") 
 
                    Investment in Blue Star Helium Limited 
 
Helium Ventures plc (AQSE:HEV), a special purpose acquisition vehicle focused 
on investments in helium related assets, is delighted to announce its first 
investment in the helium sector: 
 
  * Company: Blue Star Helium Limited ("Blue Star") (ASX: BNL) 
  * Helium Ventures investment: AUD 400,000 at AUD 5.6 cents per share 
 
Blue Star is an independent helium exploration and production company, 
headquartered in Australia, with operations and exploration projects in North 
America. Its strategy is to find and develop new supplies of low-cost, 
high-grade helium in North America. 
 
Helium Ventures' investment was made as part of an AUD 15 million fundraise 
completed on 28 October 2021. The funds have been raised following Blue Star's 
receipt of approval to proceed with its helium well drilling programme in Las 
Animas County, Colorado. Well #1 is now permitted and scheduled for Q4 2021; 
Wells #2 and 3 are scheduled for Q1 2022; Wells #4 to 8 are scheduled for Q2 
2022; and Wells #9 to 10 are scheduled for Q3/Q4 2022. 
 
Neil Ritson, Chairman of Helium Ventures commented: 
 
"We are delighted that we have managed to gain exposure to this large and 
exciting pure play helium project in Colorado - an area well known for helium 
potential - despite this fundraise being significantly oversubscribed. Blue 
Star has made impressive progress over the last year and we are optimistic that 
the drilling commencing in just a few weeks will be value accretive for us, as 
new shareholders of Blue Star. 
 
Whilst our main focus remains to acquire direct, material positions in helium 
projects where we can be active and apply our technical knowledge and expertise 
to enhance the value of projects, this first investment presents the Company 
with an opportunity to deploy capital with the potential to generate 
significant short to medium term returns for shareholders."
