Pulsar Helium launches airborne survey to target helium deposits in Michigan.

Pulsar Helium has hired Xcalibur MPH to conduct a high-resolution airborne gravity-gradiometry and magnetic survey over a priority area of its Falcon helium project in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The roughly 14,727-line-kilometer survey is intended to map subsurface density, rock types and geological structures, testing whether the Precambrian geology that guides Pulsar’s Topaz exploration in Minnesota extends into Michigan. Pulsar plans to combine the results with no-cost U.S. Geological Survey magnetic and radiometric data to rank potential helium targets and guide follow-up exploration and drilling. The company says the work moves Falcon from land assembly toward systematic target generation; the survey is expected to begin in mid-fourth quarter 2026.
Falcon covers an exclusive exploration option over approximately 488,090 gross acres of mineral rights, giving Pulsar a district-scale area to evaluate.
The survey will use closely spaced survey and tie lines to collect data on subsurface density contrasts, lithological boundaries and geological structures.
Pulsar describes itself as focused on primary helium occurrences that are not associated with hydrocarbon production; its portfolio also includes the Topaz project in Minnesota and the Tunu project in Greenland.
