Semiconductor helium market in 2025
Smart access to primary helium in a proven basin
The future runs on helium
Rift Helium is building the primary helium supply the future demands
— with de-risked, lower-carbon helium discovery in one of the world’s highest-graded provinces.
How We’re positioned
-
A proven system
Helium exploration in a proven area
We hold 283 km² of strategically positioned licences in Tanzania’s Rukwa Basin, next to confirmed helium discoveries. The system is proven and we are targeting where helium accumulates.
-
High-grade province
World-class concentration
Surface seeps near our licences reach 10.2% helium — well above typical production grades. With a mean concentration of 5.6% helium in our maiden resource, Rift has the scale and grade potential to be globally significant
-
Third-mover advantage
Smart execution from day one
We have used £50M+ of third-party technical spend to pinpoint the highest-quality targets. That reduces risk and protects capital before drilling begins.
-
Industry expertise
Leadership that’s delivered before
Our advisors have delivered two successful helium companies, backed by on-the-ground leadership in Tanzania working with government and communities.
Why helium matters
Helium isn't just another industrial gas — it's irreplaceable infrastructure for the technologies reshaping our world. Global supply is tightening while demand grows 5–7% annually.

Why Rift Helium?
De-risked helium discovery in one of the world's highest-grade provinces
Tight supply, rising demand
Legacy sources are depleting while demand from new technologies is accelerating. Prices are up ~300% over the last 15 years. New primary supply isn't optional — it's critical. Source: AKAP energy.
Primary helium focused, not byproduct
No natural gas dependence means cleaner supply, strategic independence from volatile hydrocarbon markets, and a stronger long-term position.
Milestone-driven pathway
Seismic surveys and drilling through 2026, production from 2029. Every milestone is scheduled, sequenced, and committed to. You know what's happening and when.
