Babbitt area’s Pulsar Helium project gets a lift

Potential development of a commercial helium operation from a major helium discovery in northeastern Minnesota, has taken a meaningful step forward.

A 45-day Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) public comment period is open on draft rules that would regulate gas resource development projects within the state, according to the DNR.

Without any state rules governing gas extraction in the state, northeastern Minnesota legislators have pushed for the adoption of rules and authored bills seeking the establishment of rules.
