Proton Green LLC, a strategic investment of VVC Exploration Corporation, dba VVC Resources, (‘VVC’ or the ‘Company’), (TSX-V:VVC and OTCQB:VVCVF) recently announced its first helium sales . The helium was produced at PG’s Phase I Helium Extraction Plant located at St. Johns Field in Arizona. Proton Green is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cyber App Solution Corp. (OTC: CYRB). VVC owns approximately 11.9% of Cyber App Solution Corp.

The Phase I Helium Extraction Plant, situated on the expansive 170,500-acre St. Johns Field asset in Apache County, Arizona, initiated production operations in July 2023. This region is renowned for hosting one of the largest helium and carbon dioxide reservoirs in North America, boasting an estimated 33 billion cubic feet of helium and a staggering 517 million tons of CO 2 in accessible reservoirs (see PG Corporate Profile on their website). Those estimates were extracted from an Evaluation Report prepared by William M. Cobb & Associates, Inc., revised May 6, 2022.

‘ We are exceptionally proud of our team’s hard work to reach Phase I production capacity over the last several weeks, as standard ramp and risk management procedures were executed,’ said Steve Looper, Chief Executive Officer of Proton Green. ‘Shortly after beginning helium production, we executed our first sale to one of our fixed-price offtake customers, marking the first commercialization milestone for Proton Green. As we scale production several-fold in the coming quarters, we have a clear line of sight to becoming among the largest Helium producers in North America.

We are now analyzing our production from Phase I to help optimize the completion of our Phase II infrastructure, for which we expect to begin construction in the coming months. We look forward to continued operational execution in the months ahead as we strive to deliver sustainable, long-term value to our shareholders, ‘ concluded Looper.

Jim Culver, CEO of VVC, expressed his excitement about this pivotal moment in Proton Green’s journey. ‘Proton Green’s achievement is a testament to the vision and dedication of their team, and it aligns perfectly with VVC’s investment philosophy. This milestone reinforces Proton Green’s future potential and their ability to deliver value to their shareholders, including VVC.’
