Helium One Global Ltd, down 27% at 5.2p, 12-month change 4.96p-15.5p. The Tanzania-focused helium exploration company says the Exalo drill rig in southern Africa will be unable to be mobilised for its Rukwa licence in early 2023. This is due to an extension of the current operator’s contract, for a period of ‘up to twelve months’. ‘The company is reviewing a number of alternative rig options for Phase II Tanzania drilling operations and will announce an updated timeline to drilling once new arrangements have been confirmed,’ the firm said. CEO David Minchin calls the development ‘disappointing and frustrating’.
