(“Royal” or the “Company”) (TSXV: RHC) announces that it has closed the non-brokered private placement financing announced on May 2, 2019. 30,000,000 common shares were issued at a price of $0.01 per share to arms-length and non-arms-length investors for gross proceeds of $300,000.

Cash fees and commissions of $6,750 were paid in connection with the financing.
Royal Helium Ltd.
Royal has over 300,000 acres of prospective helium land in south western and south central Saskatchewan. All of Royal's lands are in close vicinity to highways, roads, cities and importantly, close to existing oil and gas infrastructure, with a significant portion of its land in close proximity to existing helium producing locations. With stable, rising prices and limited, non-renewable sources for helium worldwide, Royal intends to become a leading North American producer of this high value commodity.
