The company has begun accumulating liquid helium in cryogenic storage, preparing for the first wave of shipments mandated by existing offtake agreements. The Virginia Gas Project holds the distinction of being the first site in South Africa to integrate both liquid helium and liquefied natural gas production under a single onshore petroleum license.

Under the current Phase 1 development plan, the facility is projected to generate 2,500 gigajoules of LNG and 70,000 cubic feet of liquid helium daily. Despite today’s positive market reaction, the stock remains under pressure, having shed 79% of its value over the preceding twelve months.
