Why Helium As a noble gas Helium is not combustible and has properties that make it irreplaceable for industrial applications like fibre optic cables, data centres, semiconductor manufacturing, medicine / MRI machines, cooling OTC: ARGYF & cryogenics. Helium is the second most abundant element in the universe but extremely rare on earth. Avanti is focused on developing large scale projects to extract Helium deposit trapped within the earth. TSX: AVN 100 times more valuable than Natural gas Natural Gas $2 per Mcf Helium $200-$400 per Mcf Avanti Energy - Investor Presentation Global shortage, it’s estimated the supply will not keep up with the demand for the next 20 years Canada has large reserves in the world. A handful of producers are extracting helium in Saskatchewan Industry demand CAGR of 11% each year through 2037 4

Where is Helium Found? OTC: ARGYF Helium is found by drilling wells, similar to natural TSX: AVN gas. It is formed from radioactive decay of heavy elements like Uranium and Thorium Avanti Energy - Investor Presentation Helium can be trapped deep under hard non- porous rock where it cannot escape. Gravity can’t trap helium from escaping the atmosphere Our focus is on helium-bearing non-hydrocarbon sources in Western Canada and Montana Once helium is found it is purified by Cryogenic, Membrane or Pressure Swing Adsorption processes that can produce ultra-pure helium 7
U.S. Helium Production OTC: ARGYF The US is the world’s largest producer, TSX: AVN accounting for roughly 40% of supply. However, the US National Helium Reserve in Amarillo, Texas, the world’s single largest source of helium Avanti Energy - Investor Presentation for the past 70 years, is now exhausted. Where will the replacement helium come from? Helium Stewardship Act Expires Sept 2021 requiring the BLM to auction off all remaining Helium Reserves. BLM’s exit from the market will eliminate the current price ceiling. Canada is estimated to have the 5th largest Helium reserves in the world, and they are virtually untapped. 8
