Avanti Helium has finished the drilling phase of its appraisal well (WNG 10-21) at Greater Knappen, Montana. The well took longer than we expected at around 6 weeks to drill, having spudded in late October. It encountered helium in both the Souris River and Flathead zones. The appraisal was ~1 km west and 50 m down dip of the Company's WNG 11-22 helium well. Avanti will complete and test the well when the completions rig arrives in approximately ten days.
