Pulsar and Lunar Helium-3 Mining sign a helium-3 extraction evaluation agreement to evaluate helium-3 recovery from the Topaz project

Pulsar Helium and Lunar Helium-3 Mining signed an evaluation agreement to use gas and helium samples from the Topaz project to evaluate LH3M's helium-3 separation, concentration, and recovery technology, with the goal of opening a new U.S. helium-3 supply source for quantum computing and national security applications. Helium-3 currently sells for more than $18 million per kilogram, and U.S. annual production is about 1-2 kilograms; the two sides' initial work targets at least 95% helium-3 purity, and if the laboratory evaluation succeeds, they will discuss a controlled pilot.
