Key Highlights

  • Pulsar Helium Inc (TSXV:PLSR) quoted CAD 0.97 in the October 16, 2026 midday session, up 7.78%, on 83.36K shares, about CAD 80,900 of value traded, with relative volume of 0.39. No company release dated October 16, 2026 was found.
  • The company announced on October 15, 2026 that the Two Harbors City Council approved a developer agreement for a Rare Gas Hub on 62 acres, an approval a local report dated October 13, 2026 placed on October 12.
  • The agreement is a first step and does not commit the company to build. Local reporting said the proposed plant would add 20 to 30 full-time jobs and liquid helium capacity of almost 2 million gallons per year.
  • On October 14, 2026 the company announced an evaluation agreement with Lunar Helium-3 Mining, and an August 27, 2026 report showed a nine-month net loss of USD 19,370,965 after a USD 25.5 million placement.

What Is Known About the Move

The October 15, 2026 announcement on the Two Harbors agreement is the closest dated news to the 7.78% gain and may relate to it, though the link is not confirmed. Volume of 83.36K shares at CAD 0.97 equals roughly CAD 80,900 of value, and relative volume of 0.39 means turnover was below average. Pulsar Helium is developing the Topaz helium project in northeastern Minnesota, and its shares also trade on London's AIM market and in the United States on the OTCQB under PSRHF. The company stated on October 12, 2026 that it had outlined its development and strategy for a helium plant. The terms of the October 14, 2026 Lunar Helium-3 Mining evaluation agreement were not reviewed, so its effect is unknown.

Hub Agreement, Equipment and Funding

Under the draft terms reported locally, Two Harbors would contribute up to USD 1 million toward a rail spur, prepare the site, extend utilities and sell appraised land for USD 1, plus a 15-year property tax abatement. Pulsar signed a liquefaction equipment proposal with Chart Industries on October 1, 2026, and is exploring state and federal financing. Chart Industries has a facility in New Prague, Minnesota, according to the local report. Pulsar Helium raised USD 25.5 million through a placement of 25,393,329 shares at 0.75 pounds after June 30, 2026, which funds drilling but spreads ownership over more shares. Helium is sold as a liquefied product, so a liquefaction plant converts a discovery into saleable volume.

Risks and What to Watch

Permitting, project financing, equipment cost, helium prices and the absence of production revenue are the main risks for Pulsar Helium. A local report said Minnesota requires a permit for gas extraction and that a legislative moratorium on permits remains until rules are in place, with the company expecting rules in the next session. Investors should watch the formal commitment after the developer agreement, financing from state and federal programs, new production wells and the fiscal year results for the year to September 30, 2026, for which a date was not found. Offtake contracts with buyers have not been announced in the releases reviewed, so revenue timing remains uncertain. Nothing in this article is investment advice.

Where Things Stand

The answer is that Pulsar Helium Inc (TSXV:PLSR) quoted a 7.78% higher price of CAD 0.97 on 83.36K shares, with no company release dated October 16, 2026, but the October 15, 2026 Two Harbors announcement may be the backdrop. That agreement is a first step and does not commit the company to build the hub. The next catalysts are financing, permitting rules and a formal commitment, none yet dated. This is not investment advice.
