VVC Exploration Corporation ("VVC" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed and connected its first helium well in the Syracuse Project, known as the Levens #2, to Tumbleweed Midstream’s Ladder Creek Pipeline (the "Pipeline"). The Pipeline transports gas to the Ladder Creek Helium Processing Plant in Cheyenne Wells, Colorado.

Located in Hamilton County, Kansas, the Levens #2 is part of the Company’s 16,400-acre Syracuse Project. The Levens #2 was successfully drilled to a depth of 2,478 feet and encountered multiple gas zones. Following a period of clean-up and additional analysis over 30-45 days, our technical team will report on the average flow rates, helium percentages and economic viability of this well. This data is expected to be announced when it becomes available in early to mid-May.

"The connection of the Levens #2 well to the Ladder Creek Pipeline is the culmination of a tremendous amount of work by VVC’s helium team and represents an inflection point for VVC’s helium business. The Syracuse Project wells are the foundation for, and the beginning of, the massive growth in helium production, anticipated to occur by year’s end. We are particularly happy with the platform for growth that our professional team has built," commented Jim Culver, VVC President and CEO.

The Syracuse Project is one of the Company’s four helium projects, aggregating to approximately 41,000 acres leased, with leasing continuing.
