Next week, the #RIFT team will be attending @gasworld ’s Helium Super Summit in Houston, a key global forum for the industrial gas and helium supply chain. Bringing together industry leaders, technical specialists, buyers and academic contributors, the summit provides a focused platform to explore the trends, challenges and opportunities shaping the helium market. As discussions around supply resilience, market evolution and the role of primary helium continue to grow in importance, we look forward to engaging with peers across industry, academia and the wider value chain. #RiftHelium #HeliumSuperSummit #Gasworld #Houston #IndustrialGases

The #RIFT team recently visited Tanzania to launch the Ivuna Teen Mothers Centre with our social partners FOMO INITIATIVES. Rift has funded the organisation to establish a vocational and empowerment centre in Ivuna, designed to support marginalised teenage mothers and young women in the communities around our operational areas. The centre has now enrolled 100 young women from five villages across Ivuna Ward. It provides a safe and structured environment offering practical vocational training, entrepreneurship skills, and essential education on maternal health, menstrual hygiene, gender‑based violence prevention and mental well‑being. This partnership aims to equip young mothers with the skills and confidence to build sustainable livelihoods, support their families and reduce vulnerability to poverty and exploitation. As part of Rift’s long‑term commitment in Tanzania, we are proud to support programmes that strengthen local communities and create lasting social impact. #RiftHelium #Tanzania #CommunityDevelopment #SocialImpact #RukwaBasin

#RIFT announces its Half Year Results and an Operational Update. Highlights: • Funded for the planned 3D seismic programme and exploration drilling campaign at Upepo, with £6.77 million of cash at 30 June 2026, no borrowings and no material capital commitments. • Moving from funding into field execution, with mobilisation of the 3D seismic programme now underway and drilling preparations advancing in parallel ahead of the planned H1 2027 campaign. • Constructive ongoing engagement with the Tanzanian authorities, including meetings with government ministers and senior officials, supporting the responsible development of the Upepo Project. • Increasing recognition by the Tanzanian Government of helium's strategic importance, with helium expected to be included in Tanzania's new Critical and Strategic Minerals list. • Post period end, Kidunda (TZ) Limited, the Company’s Tanzanian subsidiary, entered into a community partnership with the Feminist Oriented Movement Initiative to establish a Teen Mothers Empowerment Centre in Ivuna Village, close to the Group's licence areas. Charles FitzRoy, CEO of Rift: "The first half of 2026 was transformational for Rift. Our admission to AIM raised c.£8.1 million and provided the capital to execute our planned exploration programme at Upepo. We ended June with £6.77 million of cash and no borrowings, giving us a strong financial platform for the next phase of the Company's development. Since the IPO, our focus has been execution. With the EIA Certificate now secured, mobilisation of our 3D seismic programme has commenced, representing the next major step towards acquiring the data needed to select the strongest drill targets for our exploration campaign in H1 2027."
