CHARBONE CONTINUES ITS EXPANSION IN HELIUM TO SERVE THE ONTARIO MARKET

Charbone Hydrogen Corp. has continued its helium market activities with the refilling of a dedicated trailer to serve an existing customer in Ontario.

This operation confirms the commercial continuity of Charbone's helium division, initially launched in 2025, and is aligned with the company's strategy to build an integrated platform for the distribution of strategic industrial gases across North America.

The Type 1 cylinder trailer, specifically dedicated to helium, has been refilled under the current supply agreement with an independent distributor in Ontario, demonstrating Charbone's operational capability to deliver reliable and recurring service in a high-demand market.

A strategic positioning complementary to hydrogen

Charbone reiterates that helium represents a complementary pillar to its core ultrahigh-purity hydrogen business. This approach enables the company to diversify its revenue streams while optimizing its logistics network and customer relationships.

In the current context of geopolitical tensions and supply constraints in global helium markets, Charbone is particularly well positioned, having anticipated the development of this segment as previously announced in its press releases dated March 31, 2025, and Oct. 23, 2025.

"Our decision to integrate helium into our offering reflects a clear vision: to build a complete and resilient industrial gas company capable of serving our customers with diversified and secure solutions," said Dave Gagnon, Charbone's chief executive officer and chairman of the board. "In an uncertain global environment, our ability to reliably deliver critical molecules such as helium and hydrogen becomes a key competitive advantage."

The company intends to continue developing its helium division across North America by leveraging its supply partnerships, logistics capabilities and the sustained growth in demand from key sectors such as electronics, health care, advanced manufacturing and high-technology industries.
