DESERT MOUNTAIN ENERGY STAYS ON SCHEDULE IN 2021 WITH DRILLING WELLS #4 AND #5

Vancouver, British Columbia — DESERT MOUNTAIN ENERGY CORP.  (the “Company”) (TSX.V: DME, U.S. OTC: DMEHF, Frankfurt: QM01) From the President of the Company.

Desert Mountain Energy Corp.’s (“DME” or the “Company”) efficacy of its proprietary system for geological research has moved from conceptual to reality with actual drilling results. The Company looks forward to proving up more of their forward-thinking methodologies. DME is looking for higher percentage He3 & He4 concentrations similar to what it has thus far found and with similar bottom hole pressures to that found in our first 3 wells.               

The Company is pleased to announce that in keeping with its first quarter 2021 plans, it selected well locations for #4 & #5 and successfully completed the associated cultural resources field work and plant survey. Well #4 will be drilled on private land and leases with both planned wells to be drilled to the Pre-Cambrian Granite at 3,900’+-, with drilling scheduled upon final permit & equipment availability. Both well #4 and #5 will be located approximately 30 miles from wells #1 & #2. The Company’s geological staff believe that the anticlinal feature and required trapping mechanisms for helium are present. It is expected well #4 will be proving up multiple deeper / higher pressured prospective zones. The Company would anticipate the area surrounding this well could accommodate placement of 8-12 wells, the majority of which would be on the same friendly private surface and mineral ownership. In keeping with the Company’s direction of being a responsible member of the community, starting with limiting the surface area of disturbance.  Most of these locations are very close to all weather roads and on sites with little or no vegetations with the utilization of only NSF 60 additives, if required, for the drilling of any well. For the past two decades principal management of the Company has utilized only these environmentally safe additives.        

The Company has had an excellent 2020 with the stock price up in excess of 600% in one year!  This provided the Company the opportunity to raise $13 million at a share price of $1.60 CDN per unit, thereby significantly reducing the overall dilution to current shareholders. Through expedient controls, Company management has lowered its per foot drilling costs approximately 28% between the first and third wells.

DME is well financed for the upcoming drilling while also finalizing and undertaking the development and construction of our processing and solar power facilities. Our goal is specifically designed to discover, produce and sell varying grades of product, (He3 & He4) to meet demands of the ever growing renewable and environmentally sectors. The few helium companies currently with any product are still looking to find someone to partner with. Alternatively,  the Company may look to process a generic product, or to sell a crude helium under whatever terms the market may dictate.  Our goal is to generate the maximum value for our shareholders! Management does not feel possible long-term offtake processing partnerships with large companies provide and serve our stated goals to shareholders. Discussions continue with multiple possible end users for differing grades and applications of our product. The upcoming fusion market will require a significant increase in high grade helium for control and operational features.  Again, the Company has and is targeting specific formations to meet these high quality and high ROI opportunities for our shareholders. 

Our proprietary geologic methodology and modeling was proven again on the third well.  As previously stated in our 12/14/2020 press release the overall average for wildcat exploratory wells for major corporations has decreased from a high of 30.3% in 1997 and 17.6% for independents to a much lower figure now.  DME is currently 3 for 3!

It has been the stated position of the current Company leadership that the first five wells will delineate specific geologic structures, that meet the minimum optimum requirements to have possible commercial helium production, thereby providing the basis from which to build meaningful long term commercial production not only in this area but others. The Pinta Dome Helium Field in Arizona, operated cost effectively for some 13 years and at a time when the pricing was extremely low, compared to the current possible pricing scenario. The Pinta Dome field started out producing at 103#psi flowing pressure.  Our first well flow tested at 900# psi flowing pressure, obviously considerably higher than what the first operators dealt with at Pinta Dome.

DESERT MOUNTAIN ENERGY SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETES DRILLING OF THIRD HELIUM TEST WELL IN AZ

Vancouver, British Columbia — DESERT MOUNTAIN ENERGY CORP.  (the “Company”) (TSX.V: DME, U.S. OTC: DMEHF, Frankfurt: QM01) From the President of the Company.

The Company is pleased to announce that it successfully completed drilling of the previously approved and permitted third well last Tuesday 12/08/20 and open hole logs run and production casing set and cemented into place.  Upon the removal of drilling equipment, the single pit was immediately filled, thereby completing the initial remediation on 12/09/20.  As previously press released the Company had drilled, set and cemented into place the surface casing to protect treatable water on 12/04/20.  The production casing was run and cemented into place on 12/08/20 providing the additional protection to all zones as per the previously approved and permitted well design. 

Drilling operations did not encounter any oil and only found background low btu gas at levels normally associated with the drilling of water wells in this area.  The Company again significantly reduced the amount of water required to drill, with the use of high-pressure air / mist.  This is, to the best of the Company’s information and belief, the same procedure used by the offsetting surface owner to drill their water well last week.  The Company used more surface casing and cement to protect all possible treatable water zones than did the offsetting surface owner.  Even though the Company did not encounter any flows or shows of significant water during drilling through the perceived aquifer as might be normally expected, it still set and cemented protective surface casing in accordance with the approved permit.  The well logs also indicated the placement of the well correlated with Company plans to have the drilling intercept the highest porosity zones, again precluding the need for fracking.  The Company has previously stated its goal is to apply geology and geophysics to successfully select drilling locations to remove the need for large fracks similar to what has been routinely done to produce oil from tight formations. 

The open hole well logs indicated the Company encountered multiple prospective helium bearing zones.  Resistivities in the three prospective helium bearing zones range from 48 ohms to a high in excess of 120 ohms.  Excellent porosities demonstrated direct correlation to the prospective helium bearing zones with the thickest probable helium bearing zone being 59’ thick.      

The successful drilling of the third well some 74 miles away from the first two wells (the results of which were previously announced in June and July 2020) clearly demonstrates the Company’s geologic modeling plans in reference as to the basic required trap mechanisms for commercial helium production in NE Arizona.  Per Penwell Publishing data the average success rate on wildcat exploration wells for major companies has dropped from a high of 30.3% in 1997 with the average successful drilling rate for independents to be off a high of 17.6% in the same time period.  Desert Mountain Energy Corp’s corporate strategy to repeatedly find possible helium producing areas is clearly proven.

Vancouver, British Columbia — DESERT MOUNTAIN ENERGY CORP.  (the “Company”) (TSX.V: DME, U.S. OTC: DMEHF, Frankfurt: QM01) From the President of the Company.

Vancouver, British Columbia — Desert Mountain Energy Corp. (the “Company”) (TSX. V:DME) is pleased to announce that it has commenced drilling its third well in Arizona. DME well # State 26-1.

The well is anticipated to be drilled to a total depth (TD) of approximately 2,000 feet. This well is located approximately 70 miles west of the first two wells and is intended to prove up a number of significant geological structures in the western portion of the basin. The Company’s technical team has identified three potential target zones in this well. Surface casing has been set and cemented into place and after sufficient curing time for the cement, drilling to planned TD is ongoing.

After drilling this well to planned TD and a decision has been made to set & cement production casing, a completion rig will be brought in to complete the well, perforate and test specific zones. That testing if undertaken will include a full gas composition test completed by an independent third party.

DESERT MOUNTAIN ENERGY SECURES PERMIT FOR THIRD WELL, BLUE SKYED IN MULTIPLE STATES

Vancouver, British Columbia — DESERT MOUNTAIN ENERGY CORP.  (the “Company”) (TSX.V: DME, U.S. OTC: DMEHF, Frankfurt: QM01) From the President of the Company.

The Company is pleased to announce that the Arizona Oil & Gas Conservation Commission has granted Desert Mountain Energy Corp. the permit to drill the third exploratory helium well in NE Arizona.  This well is located approximately 70 miles west of the two successful wildcat helium wells the Company drilled then completed in August of this year.  This well is situated on a known anticlinal feature which the Company ran proprietary seismic and other geophysical studies pertinent to locating specific trapping mechanisms required to have commercial quantities of helium.

The Company has contacted the drilling contractor and is now in queue for the drill rig in addition to the open hole logging and cementing companies.  The Company anticipates having the well drilled in December weather permitting, followed with perforating and flow testing being completed as expediently as possible, weather permitting. 

After anticipated completion of the third well, the Company anticipates undertaking additional work on both of the first two wells then performing additional flow testing on both wells.  This test data will be added into the previous flow data to secure a more accurate understanding of anticipated flow rates and volumes from which final design criteria for the processing plants will be based. 

The Company, in addition to securing its OTCQB, listing is now listed with both Mergent/Moody’s Manual and Blue Sky Data Corp. and is recognized in over 40 states and US territories.  The Company is a foreign private issuer and claims the exemption pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Securities Law Act of 1934.

Additionally, the Company is pleased to announce the addition of Edward Coalson, Ph.D. as our “Qualified Reserves Evaluator”.  Ed received his B.S Geology from Cal State University, M.S. Geology from University of Wyoming, Ph.D. Geology from Colorado School of Mines.  His experience in Petrophysics led to the discovery of many significant oil and gas fields in Colorado and Wyoming. Ed’s experience has been further amplified with teaching courses including Colorado School of Mines.

A REPORT FROM THE CEO: ROBERT ROHLFING

 

A REPORT FROM THE CEO: ROBERT ROHLFING

Monday, October 26, 2020

 

3RD QUARTER REVIEW

The third quarter has been very significant for the Company:

  • Received drill permits for wells State 10-1 and State 16-1.
  • Successfully completed both wells, significant pay zones were discovered in both holes.
  • Sampling proved significant concentrations of helium in both wells with excellent well pressure, low CO2 concentrations.
  • Purifying the helium will not involve any costly or problematic issues due to the mix of gases in our wells.
  • Completed a $13 million financing priced at $1.60.
  • Added 3 new board members to the team.
  • Began design work on a solar-powered processing facility

 

VERTICAL INTEGRATION

The Company is planning on becoming a vertically integrated helium producer selling directly to end users. Offtake discussions that have taken place over the last 2 years with helium processors made it evident that over 40% of our revenues would go to support their “processing system”. Prices for finished product have varying price points that range from $490 per mcf for shield gas to $3,200 per mcf for extreme high purity gas. We believe that the shareholders should benefit from the greater revenue achieved by finishing our own helium.

 

PRODUCTION

The Company plans to be in production starting the 4th quarter of 2021. To achieve this goal, we will undertake the general following items:

  • Finish permitting for a third well in the western part of the Holbrook basin to prove-up additional low CO2, high nitrogen content raw gas.
  • Drill third well in early November, secure gas analysis and flow rates
  • Contract with Gas Engineering firm to begin design of both well site Nitrogen stripping and final processing facilities.
  • Contract with power engineering firm to finalize solar generation site requirements. Goal is to become as close to carbon neutral as possible
  • Finalize & sign contracts with surface owners, for both power generation site and processing facilities.
  • Begin archeological studies and reviews for both well sites 4-6 and seismic acquisition
  • Exercise options for up to additional 42,000 acres of leases or some portion thereof.
  • After further gas analysis and flow testing, provide possible end users with options for purchase agreements and execute them when most advantageous for DME.
  • Secure Tractor trailer rigs as required by agreements.
  • Train plant personnel and secure additional contract drivers for trucking aspects

 

DME’S 4-YEAR PLAN:

We plan to start producing from 4 to 6 wells the fourth quarter of 2021. Our success in raising $13 million gives us the money to rapidly move forward with the first phase of our plans. Full development of our land package is expected to take approximately 4 years.

The 4-year plan to full production:

  • Total number of wells projected to be 50-55
  • Total projected capital expenditures including all drilling and infrastructure over 6 years is $45,000,000
  • Upgrade helium to end users will result in a shorter payback period.
  • Signing contracts with end users will stabilize future price swings in the helium market and give us a competitive edge.

We realize this is a very ambitious plan, however, with the success of the first 2 wells proving our geological model, it can be achieved. There is a lot of work and planning to be done along with expanding our team.
