Avanti Energy Inc. (TSXV: AVN) (OTC: ARGYF) ("Avanti" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has commenced completions operations on its WNG 11-22 Helium well in Greater Knappen, Montana.

The Company will flow test three potentially commercial productive helium bearing zones. The test results will provide important data to support upcoming resource estimates, including flows, pressures, and reservoir fluid helium concentrations. Additionally, testing results will be used to support the design of helium purification facilities. The Company expects the durations of the testing to be between 3-5 weeks.

Avanti is also pleased to announce it has engaged McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. of Calgary, Alberta to evaluate preliminary well results and assist the Avanti team with analysis of key helium prospects. The primary purpose of the evaluation is for corporate resource reporting such as annual reports, banking, financing, and corporate transactions.

"Completion and testing of the WNG 11-22 well is an exciting step in the development of Avanti's Greater Knappen property," commented Chris Bakker, Avanti CEO. "The Drill Stem Test results showed very promising flow results along with helium concentrations up to 1.1% and the completions work will bring the well to its full potential."
