CHARBONE CORPORATION Continues Helium Market Activities

Brossard, Quebec — April 2, 2026 — Leads & Copy — CHARBONE CORPORATION (TSXV: CH; OTCQB: CHHYF; FSE: K47) is continuing its helium market activities by refilling a dedicated trailer to serve an existing customer in Ontario.

The North American producer and distributor specializing in clean Ultra High Purity (“UHP”) hydrogen and strategic industrial gases, initially launched its Helium division in 2025. The current operation confirms the commercial continuity, and is aligned with the company’s strategy to build an integrated platform for the distribution of strategic industrial gases across North America.

The Type 1 cylinder trailer, specifically dedicated to helium, has been refilled under the current supply agreement with an independent distributor in Ontario. This demonstrates CHARBONE’s operational capability to deliver reliable and recurring service in a high-demand market.

CHARBONE says helium represents a complementary pillar to its core UHP hydrogen business. The company says this approach enables it to diversify its revenue streams while optimizing its logistics network and customer relationships.

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

Dave Gagnon, CHARBONE’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, said that the decision to integrate helium into its offering reflects a clear vision to build a complete and resilient industrial gas company capable of serving customers with diversified and secure solutions. He added that in an uncertain global environment, the ability to reliably deliver critical molecules such as helium and hydrogen becomes a key competitive advantage.

The Company intends to continue developing its Helium division across North America by leveraging its supply partnerships, logistics capabilities, and the sustained growth in demand from key sectors such as electronics, healthcare, advanced manufacturing, and high-tech industries.

CHARBONE is a developer and producer of clean Ultra High Purity (UHP) hydrogen with a growing industrial gas distribution platform. Through a modular approach, CHARBONE is focused on developing a network of clean hydrogen production facilities throughout North America and select markets abroad, starting with its flagship Sorel-Tracy project in Quebec. The Company’s integrated model reduces risk, enhances scalability, and enables diversified revenue streams through partnerships in helium and other specialty gases. CHARBONE is committed to supporting the global transition to a lower-carbon economy by providing accessible, decentralized clean hydrogen and specialty gas solutions while supporting underserved industrial gas customers and accelerating the shift to localized clean energy.
