Desert Mountain Energy Provides General Update

Vancouver, Canada – TheNewswire - May 5, 2026 — DESERT MOUNTAIN ENERGY CORP. (the “Company”) (TSX.V: DME, U.S. OTC: DMEHF, Frankfurt: QM01) is advancing plans to reconfigure its Pecos Slope gas gathering system. As previously announced, the Company is raising capital to maximize natural gas sales and provide additional operational options with its helium plant. This work includes the replacement of many miles of existing, inefficient and aging gathering system lines, some of which are in excess of 45 years old and require increased maintenance. The planned reconfiguration is expected to both reduce long-term operating costs and increase overall gas sales. The Company has many miles of existing Right of Ways (ROW's) and is in the process of acquiring replacement gas lines and securing additional ROW's, as needed, as the work progresses.
