The importance of helium to Arizona's key industries is becoming increasingly recognized, and we are optimistic about the road ahead," said Desert Mountain Energy CEO, Robert Rohlfing.

DME is also actively engaging at the federal level, positioning helium as a vital resource for national defense, healthcare and a critical component of our supply chain. By working with our congressional delegation and various stakeholders who understand the significance of helium not just for Arizona, but for the nation. DME is building the necessary support to seek the inclusion of helium to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) critical mineral list. Materials included on this list are afforded several benefits such as eligibility for additional clean energy tax credits, research grants and a streamlined permitting process.

Senator Janae Shamp, a dedicated supporter of the initiative, stated, "I am proud to support the efforts to streamline the helium extraction process for our operators. Arizona is open for business, and we want operators to know that they are welcome here. We are focused on ensuring this can be done in a safe and sustainable way that will protect our aquifers while bolstering the supply chain that supports Arizona's thriving semiconductor manufacturing, cutting-edge healthcare, and defense industries. By doing so, we further solidify Arizona's position as a national leader in the advanced manufacturing sectors."

Desert Mountain Energy remains committed to working closely with all stakeholders to achieve a balanced approach that benefits Arizona's economy and environment.
