Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the requested information. If you do not believe a comment applies to your facts and circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response. After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you provide in response to this letter, we may have additional comments. Unless we note otherwise, any references to prior comments are to comments in our August 27, 2024 letter. Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-4 Summary of the Proxy Statement Consideration, page 26 1. We note the statement under this heading that For purposes of the Company Merger Shares, such amount assumes $37,300,000 of Net Debt. For every dollar of Net Debt lower than $37,300,000 at Closing, the Company Merger Shares will be increased by 1/10 of one share and for every dollar of Net Debt higher than $37,300,000 at Closing, the Company Merger Shares will be decreased by 1/10 of one share. To avoid investor confusion, please revise this disclosure so that it addresses only the most current terms of the Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Reorganization. September 27, 2024 Page 2 2. Further to the above, please revise the disclosures in this filing to remove the superseded term of the BCA referencing an assumed Net Debt of $37,300,000. This comment is applicable to the references included on pages 81, 89, 119, F-23, and F-42. A delayed commencement date or other events could result in an early termination of certain of our material contracts, page 40 3. Please revise this risk factor to disclose the risk of early termination of the Gaseous Helium Agreement in the event of a delayed commencement date. In that regard, we note your disclosure on page 169 that if the Commencement Date has not occurred by July 1, 2025 for gaseous helium, the buyer would have the right to terminate the Gaseous Helium Agreement. We also note your revised disclosure that based on the current stage of the development and construction of its Pecos Slope Plant and the advice of the engineering consultants, NEH's management believes that it is unlikely that the company will be able to secure funding, complete construction of the helium extraction plant and commence helium deliveries prior to July 1, 2025. Selected Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements, page 78 4. It does not appear that pro forma total liabilities and total equity as of June 30, 2024, are consistent with the related amounts on pages 85 and 86. Please revise as applicable. Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements Business Combination Agreement Amendments Pro Forma Net Debt Calculation and its Potential Impact on the Company Merger Shares, page 82 5. Please revise to clearly explain 'Net debt', its purpose and how 'Adjusted company merger shares' are determined. Show us how Principal and Interest of NEH Loans as of Closing of $1,064,152 reconciles to the financial statements presented and how your calculation of Pro forma net debt complies with amended BCA dated September 11, 2024. Please revise your disclosures here, page 119 and elsewhere throughout the filing as applicable. Basis of Pro Forma Presentation, page 83 6. Please explain why the pro forma shares of NEH common stock outstanding immediately after the business combination do not include NEH debentures converted to common shares disclosed in Adjustment N. Please revise your disclosures here, page 13, Note 7, page 94 and elsewhere throughout the filing as appropriate. Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the Year ended December 31, 2023, page 88 7. Please revise to present here pro forma weighted average number of shares and pro forma earnings per share consistent with disclosures in Note 7-Loss per Share, page 94. September 27, 2024 Page 3 Note 4 - Adjustments and Reclassifications to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2024, page 92 8. We note pro forma adjustments B, CC and FF relate partially to D&O insurance. Please explain why you believe these adjustments are appropriate Transaction Accounting Adjustments in compliance with Rule 11-02(a)(6)(i) of Regulation S-X. In this regard, D&O insurance does not appear to be reflective of a typical cost of a business combination. 9. We note your Adjustment N indicates proceeds received subsequent to June 30, 2024 of $980,000. However, adjustments to cash and corresponding notes payable in the amount of $1,143,585 are recorded in pro forma balance sheet. Please revise or advise. In addition, please disclose the details of proceeds received subsequent to June 30, 2024 here and in Note 16-Subsequent Events, page F-101. Potential Impact on the Per Share Value of Shares Owned by Non-Redeeming Shareholders, page 95 10.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of New Era Helium Corp. Note 16. Subsequent Events, page 101, page 101 11. We note NEH entered into a 10% Secured Convertible Debenture in the amount of $720,000 on July 31, 2024. Please tell us how you considered including this in the Pro Forma Net Debt Calculation, on page 82 and elsewhere, as a component of current Indebtedness. Customers, page 168 12. We note your response to prior comment 11. Please revise your disclosure on page 169 regarding the Liquid Helium Agreement to clarify any impact of the Assignment Agreement on the provision you describe regarding your sale to Air Life Gases USA, Inc. of all of the helium produced from the crude helium you purchase from Badger Midstream Energy, LP. Also update your disclosure on page 169 with respect to your statement that NEH will purchase crude helium from Badger under the Crude Helium Agreement, given your disclosure regarding the assignment of NEH s rights under the agreement. 13. We note your revised disclosure that tolling services provided by Keyes Helium Company to NEH Midstream under the Helium Tolling Agreement will be at volumes now sold to AirLife Gases USA Inc. by operation of the Assignment Agreement. Please revise to clarify whether Keyes Helium Company is obligated to provide tolling services to NEH Midstream on a firm basis, for a volume equivalent to the quantities sold to Airlife Gases USA Inc. by Badger under the Crude Helium Agreement. In addition, please revise to clarify whether the Helium Tolling Agreement includes a volume commitment to NEH with respect to additional volumes of crude helium. In that regard, we note your disclosure that Keyes Helium Company s obligation to provide tolling services to NEH is subordinate to Keyes Helium Company s obligation to provide tolling services to a third party.
