“This is an exciting step for ASP Isotopes. With the imminent Spin-Out of QLE, I have been considering the expansion of the ASP Isotopes business, and this opportunity is the perfect fit for us. Both isotopes and helium are viewed by many governments as critically and strategically important materials. The combination of these two companies will create a company with huge strategic value and a vital part of a fragile supply chain enabling so many industries,” said Paul Mann, Chairman and CEO of ASP Isotopes, and Chairman and CEO of QLE.
“After a tumultuous year and half, I am excited about the combined prospects of our new company and its future. Access to US Investor base who have a deep understanding of critical minerals, as well as oil and gas has for the longest time been the final critical ingredient required to unlock the Virginia Gas Project and the longer-term expansion of this unique natural resource. In joining our two companies not only do we get this, but even more exciting is the expansion of the business horizontally across our key helium customer bases of nuclear, healthcare, semiconductors and rocketry. As the world becomes more insular, critical materials are quickly becoming the most sought-after commodities, and our merger places ASP Isotopes Inc front and center. Offering customers a fully integrated supply chain reduces a significant amount of risk for them, and makes our offering incredibly valuable,” said Stefano Marani, CEO of Renergen.
