Mendell's Bitcoin Treasury Policy
On 1 April 2025, Mendell Helium announced that it was working on a feasibility study to use excess methane produced at
either M3 Helium's Rost 1-26 well ("Rost") well in Fort Dodge, Kansas or future offset wells in the same area to
provide energy for a cryptocurrency/Bitcoin mining operation. A significant advantage of Fort Dodge is the network of
the main roads and communications across the area. The analysis carried out by Mendell Helium has brought other areas
to its attention and, to date, the Company has also examined opportunities for Bitcoin mining in Texas and Nebraska,
albeit still at an early stage.
A logical extension of this work, and particularly being mindful of M3 Helium's forthcoming production plans at Rost
which, if successful, are expected to be highly cash generative, is to implement a Bitcoin treasury management policy
to support the operating activities of M3 Helium.
Mendell has been engaging with consultants and specialist cryptocurrency advisers to formulate a Bitcoin treasury
management policy to:
· Accumulate Bitcoin through spot markets, possibly alongside potential mining initiatives through M3 Helium
· Hold Bitcoin as a long-term treasury reserve asset
· Support M3 Helium's operations, and specifically its plans to expand its interests in the highly prospective Fort
Dodge area
· Manage the reserve through selective divestments and reinvestments.
