$PSRHF I find this quite fascinating. I never knew that not one single company currently mines Helium -3 on Earth, in fact there is a very little quantities that are being extracted with natural gas and some byproduct of nuclear breakdown of tritium.
This is by far the biggest govt labs confirmed Helium 3 deposits on Earth and they're currently in the process of setting up to mine it. Chart industries - the only factory in the USA that produces nat gas liquefaction plates is providing logistical support and equipment for the wells.
The other interesting thing that I like is that while all other metals and minerals have been talked about ad nauseum - gold, silver, uranium, oil, diamonds, gas, yet there has been very very few mentions of Helium-3 which is extremely rare on Earth.
Next week Artemis II mission will fly to the moon and i'm sure there will be mentions of govt plans of Moon mining for Helium -3 which will also shine light on Topaz project. Very unique find. Love it!
