Rift Helium plc is a UK-based company focused on the exploration and development of helium resources. Incorporated in 2021 and headquartered in Bristol, the company operates primarily through its key project, the Upepo Project, which holds three prospecting licenses covering 283 square kilometers in the Rukwa Basin of southwestern Tanzania. Rift Helium's business model is centered on identifying high-grade helium deposits to supply various sectors that utilize helium in advanced technologies. Key markets for its helium include semiconductors, quantum computing, aerospace, fusion energy, MRI scanners, fiber optic cables, data centers, and deep-sea diving. The company completed its initial public offering (IPO) on April 22, 2026, on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange, raising approximately £8.1 million by issuing 80,855,000 new ordinary shares at 10 pence each, resulting in a market capitalization of about £13.4 million at admission. Rift Helium’s management team includes Patrick Ambwene Muwowo as Non-Executive Chairman, Charles Edward Millet FitzRoy as CEO and Executive Director, Russel Edwin Swarts as CFO and Executive Director, alongside other independent directors. Looking ahead, the company is advancing essential regulatory, technical, operational, and stakeholder processes to support its planned 3D seismic program in 2026, with drilling anticipated in the first half of 2027.
