The terms of the deal value Attis at £1.76 million, while Helium One is valued at £6 million. The two companies also plan to raise at least £5 million apart from the merger. The money raised will be used to fund the exploration of the Rukwa project in Tanzania.
Helium One estimates that the Rukwa project has 138 billion cubic feet of helium. The merged entity is expected to debut on London’s AIM segment on December 3.
David Minchin, Helium One’s CEO said: “We are delighted to be entering into this transaction with Attis which we hope will lead to us being able to bring Helium One to the London market…it could also become the only company on AIM where investors can get involved with the exciting and expanding helium space.”
