The Top 10 Signals Pulsar Is Leading the Helium-3 Race
Key Takeaways
- Pulsar Helium offers an Earth-based path to He-3 supply, supported by proven gas production, high-grade helium, and real project infrastructure.
- With 7 of 7 wells encountering gas, 65,000 acres under exclusive leases, and confirmed He-3 concentrations up to 14.5 ppb, Pulsar has multiple signals pointing to commercial potential.
Investors looking for exposure to Helium-3 (He-3) face a major challenge. Most potential sources are either scarce, government-controlled, or still highly speculative.
Pulsar Helium offers a different pathway. The company is pursuing an Earth-based He-3 supply chain through a permitted project in Minnesota, USA.
This graphic, created in partnership with Pulsar Helium, highlights 10 signals that Pulsar is emerging as a key company to watch in the He-3 race.
It’s the final piece in the Helium 3: From Theory to Opportunity series, delivering key He-3 insights for investors tracking deep tech, critical minerals, and advanced computing.
The Top 10 Helium-3 Signals
Pulsar’s investment case is built around a combination of drivers. These include rising demand, helium scarcity, strong well results, and project readiness.
| Signal # | Signal | Key Data |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Helium Demand Is Outrunning Supply | Global demand is projected to grow from 29 to 58 metric tons per year by 2035. |
| 2 | A Market Defined by Scarcity | He-4 trades near US$100,000 per metric ton; He-3 reaches implied values of ~US$18.7B per metric ton. |
| 3 | A Proven, Gas-Charged System | 7 of 7 wells encountered gas, a 100% gas-hit success rate. |
| 4 | A Large, Permitted First-Mover Position | Pulsar controls ~65,000 acres under exclusive leases. |
| 5 | High-Grade Helium With Room to Grow | Jetstream #1 and #2 delivered 8.1% and 5.6% helium, respectively. |
| 6 | One of Earth’s Highest He-3 Discoveries | Up to 14.5 parts-per-billion He-3 confirmed; 0.4 Bcf P50 recoverable helium from Jetstream #1. |
| 7 | Clean, Dry, High-Deliverability Gas | Gas composition includes 8.1% He, 72.3% CO₂, 15.8% N₂, 2.7% CH₄, and ~1% other gases. |
| 8 | Development-Ready Location | Roads and 3-phase power are within 5.5 miles. |
| 9 | Momentum Backed by Capital | Pulsar has secured a US$12.5M project financing package and a US$4M credit facility. |
| 10 | A Team Built for Helium | Pulsar’s team includes helium explorers, noble-gas scientists, and industrial-gas executives. |
Together, these signals show Pulsar’s He-3 opportunity is backed by measurable project milestones:
- Successful wells
- Confirmed grades
- Nearby infrastructure
- New financing.
Pulsar’s Earth-Based Helium-3 Opportunity
For investors, Pulsar stands out for how far along it is in the commercial He-3 supply chain. Pulsar is already advancing the key pieces of resource and infrastructure data to plant engineering.
Pulsar offers an Earth-based pathway to Helium-3 that is accessible through proven gas production today, unlike tomorrow’s speculative lunar mining.
As demand for He-3 grows, companies with credible, near-term supply pathways become increasingly important.
