Quantum Helium Ltd - Sydney-based miner targeting helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbons in the US and Australia - Raises £5 million through a conditional placing of 16.67 billion new ordinary shares at 0.03 pence each. Says it undertook the placing with multiple institutional investors who approached it, ‘reflecting growing interest in Quantum’s asset base and the strategic importance of domestic US helium supply.’ Says it intends to use the proceeds to advance development, planning and engineering works at its Sagebrush project; to progress permitting, planning and work towards drill-ready targets at its Coyote Wash project; to dund well planning, long-lead items and infrastructure design at both projects; to support ongoing technical work, including seismic interpretation and subsurface modelling; and for additional working capital and financial flexibility. Says it is using existing cash resources to fund ‘the key near-term operational milestone’ of its extended production test at the Sagebrush-1 well. Adds that it ‘expects a number of significant operational updates in the coming weeks,’ with the next phase focused on perforating and testing the first of two zones in the Leadville Formation. Says perforations are scheduled to start this coming week. ‘Recent global events have further highlighted supply constraints, and we believe Quantum is well positioned to play a role in addressing this,’ comments Chair Carl Dumbrell. ‘Importantly, this funding places the company in the strongest financial position it has ever been in and allows us to accelerate our development plans while maintaining momentum across our operations. We look forward to delivering on the significant milestones ahead and continuing to build value for shareholders.’ Current stock price: 0.030 pence, down 25% in London on Friday 12-month change: down 25% Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd.
