New Helium Plant Project in Montana

This new project could bring in quite a few jobs for Montanans.

Gas World reports The Helix Exploration purchased a processing plant near Rudyard.

They plan on opening the plant to produce helium.

They believe the structure could produce the highest amount of helium in Montana.

Helix believes more areas around Rudyard could hold more helium gas.

If that's so, Helix believes this area of Montana could be a significant global resource.

What does that mean for Montana?

Helix will need more employees and research to discover and produce the helium gas.

Rudyard is a small town on Highway 2 between Shelby and Havre.

Surrounding towns could see a rise in population and potential business opportunities if Helix is successful.

This news is a fantastic sign of what potential Montana holds.

Who knows what we will find out next?
