EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of Helix Resources Limited ( Helix or the Company ) in connection with the business to be conducted at an Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held at the Celtic Club, 48 Ord Street, West Perth, WA on Thursday, 3[rd] November 2011 at 11.00am.

This Explanatory Statement forms part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting.

Shareholders should note that all the Directors approved the proposal to put the Resolutions to Shareholders as outlined in the Notice of Annual General Meeting and to prepare this Explanatory Statement.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2011 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the remuneration report and the auditor’s report.

In accordance with amendments to the Corporations Act the Company is no longer required to provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless a Shareholder has specifically elected to receive a printed copy. These amendments have resulted in a reduction in the Company’s printing costs.

Whilst the Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report unless specifically requested to do so, Shareholders may view the Company annual financial report on its website at www.helix.net.au or request a copy from the Company at any time.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

The remuneration report is set out in the Company’s annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2011.

The remuneration report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the Company.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.

The Corporations Act requires that a resolution to adopt the remuneration report be put to Shareholders. However, Shareholders should note that the vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and not binding on the Company or its Directors.

Under recent changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting, and then again at the Company's 2012 annual general meeting, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ).

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the Company's 2012 annual general meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the Company's 2012 Directors' report was approved, other than the managing director of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.

Pursuant to the Corporations Act, if you elect to appoint the Chair, or another member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the remuneration report or any Closely Related Party of that member as your proxy to vote on this Resolution 1, you must direct the proxy how they are to vote. Where you do not direct the Chair, or another member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the remuneration report or Closely Related Party of that member on how to vote on this Resolution 1, the proxy is prevented by the Corporations Act from exercising your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to this Resolution 1.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and clause 13.2 of the Constitution one third of the Directors for the time being must retire from office at every annual general meeting and are eligible for re-election.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

Mr Gordon Dunbar retires by rotation and seeks re-election.
