“In terms of the Helium extraction business, one must distinguish hype from reality. For many, helium provides a potential quick hit ‘catchy-commodity’ which is easy to hype and promote; for others, helium is one of the most elusive commodities on the planet, and only the confluence of hard science, sweat and perseverance will make it an economic reality.” TIM RYNOTT
