Rift Helium targets AIM debut with scalable Tanzania project

Rift Helium plc (AIM:RIFT) CEO Charles FitzRoy talked with Proactive’s Stephen Gunnion about the company’s upcoming AIM listing, its strategic helium assets in Tanzania, and the growing importance of primary helium supply in global markets. FitzRoy outlined how Rift Helium is positioning itself as a key player in a sector where over 90% of supply is currently produced as a byproduct of natural gas. He explained: “Over 90% of the worlds helium currently is produced as a byproduct of natural gas… Rift is not associated with hydrocarbons… it is going to be primarily helium.” This distinction underpins the company’s strategy to develop a scalable, standalone helium project in a proven basin, adjacent to existing discoveries in Tanzania. FitzRoy highlighted recent global supply disruptions, particularly linked to Qatar, which have removed a significant portion of helium production and reinforced the need for reliable primary sources. With a P50 resource estimate of 19BCF, Rift Helium’s flagship licence represents a sizeable opportunity compared to global demand of 6.5BCF last year. The CEO also detailed the company’s near-term plans following its £8 million IPO raise, including 3D seismic work and drilling two targeted wells expected in the next 12 months. He emphasised the company’s cost efficiency due to relatively shallow drilling depths and its “third mover” advantage, benefiting from prior industry groundwork in Tanzania.
