Duluth News Tribune: Helium confirmed at drill site near Babbitt
News
A company looking for helium beneath Northeastern Minnesota's forest floor said it found the lightweight gas this week, confirming an earlier 2011 finding.
In a news release on Thursday, Feb. 29, British Columbia-based Pulsar Helium said its drilling rig encountered gases with a 12.4% helium concentration at depths of 1,750 and 2.200 feet. The concentration was measured with an on-site mass spectrometer. The collected gas samples will be sent to a laboratory for “full molecular composition, removal of atmospheric (air) contamination, and isotopic characterization,” the company said.
