DESERT MOUNTAIN ENERGY CORP. announced that it has been granted an exemption to the 640-acre spacing requirements allowed by the State of Arizona. This exemption will allow the Company to drill wells on 40 acres of spacings as opposed to the usual 1 well per section that is the normal practice allowed by the Arizona Oil and Gas Commission.

Flow lines for the 3 proposed hydrogen wells have been trenched and buried to transport the raw gaseous mixture for separation at the McCauley Processing Facility. The plant design allows for the hydrogen to be separated from the other elements while at the same time allowing the capture of both helium and hydrogen for purification. The 640-acre spacing exemption allows DME and Beam Earth Ltd. to explore and better optimize hydrogen and helium discoveries in upper possible formations.

A geophysics program will be launched in April 2023, and drilling is planned for early June 2023 with results expected in early July 2023. Furthermore, the Company will be looking to maximize potential development through all available manners including Federal IRA and business development opportunities.
