CORPORATION CHARBONE Continues Helium Market Activities

Brossard, Quebec — April 2, 2026 — Leads & Copy —

CORPORATION CHARBONE (TSXV: CH; OTCQB: CHHYF; FSE: K47) has announced the continuation of its activities in the helium market with the reloading of a dedicated trailer to serve an existing customer in Ontario.

This operation confirms the commercial continuity of CHARBONE's Helium division, initially launched in 2025, and is part of the company's strategy to build an integrated distribution platform for strategic industrial gases in North America.

The Type 1 cylinder trailer, specifically dedicated to helium, was reloaded as part of the ongoing supply contract with an independent Ontario distributor, demonstrating CHARBONE's operational capacity to ensure reliable and recurring service in a high-demand market.

CHARBONE reminds that helium is a pillar complementary to its main activity in UHP hydrogen. This approach allows the company to diversify its sources of income while optimizing its logistics network and customer relations.

In the current context of geopolitical tensions and supply constraints in the global helium markets, CHARBONE is particularly well positioned, having anticipated the development of this segment as announced in its press releases of March 31, 2025 and October 23, 2025.

"Our decision to integrate helium into our offer is part of a clear vision: to build a complete and resilient industrial gas company, capable of serving our customers with diversified and secure solutions," said Dave Gagnon, President and CEO of CHARBONE. "In an uncertain global environment, our ability to reliably deliver critical molecules like helium and hydrogen becomes a key competitive advantage."

The company intends to continue the development of its Helium division in North America, leveraging its supply partnerships, logistics capabilities and sustained growth in demand in key sectors such as electronics, health, advanced manufacturing and advanced technologies.

CHARBONE is a developer and producer of Ultra High Purity (UHP) clean hydrogen with a rapidly expanding industrial gas distribution platform. Through a modular approach, CHARBONE focuses on developing a network of clean hydrogen production plants in North America and select markets abroad, starting with its flagship Sorel-Tracy project in Quebec. The company's integrated model reduces risk, improves scalability and allows for diversification of revenue streams through partnerships in helium and other specialty gases. CHARBONE is committed to supporting the global transition to a low-carbon economy by providing accessible and decentralized clean hydrogen and specialty gas solutions, while supporting underserved industrial gas customers and accelerating the transition to local clean energy. CHARBONE is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV: CH); on the OTC markets (OTCQB: CHHYF); and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE: K47).
