Natural Resource Stocks Expo (May 1, 2026, to May 2, 2026)

The company also announces its participation in the Natural Resources Stocks Expo. Accredited investors are invited to join CEO Ashley Lastinger at the Natural Resource Stocks Expo in Atlanta, Ga., for networking events and 1:1 meetings with Altura and other publicly traded natural resource companies.

"Recent geopolitical events have highlighted how concentrated and fragile the global helium supply chain has become," stated Ms. Lastinger. "With a large portion of supply tied to one region, disruptions are already driving higher prices and affecting key industries including semiconductors and advanced manufacturing. At the same time, structural challenges such as reduced reserves and limited new supply mean the market has very little margin for error. We believe the path forward is clear. The world needs new reliable sources of helium and projects that can deliver high-purity supply outside of traditional systems will become increasingly important."
