EXPLORATION UPDATE - CHILE
BLANCO Y NEGRO
Field activities are accelerating following first drilling program that intersected 19.5m @ 2.04% Cu + 1.06g/t Au & 550ppm Mo in DDHHU001[(ASX release 7 March 2013)] at the Blanco Y Negro Mine Prospect.
- Geophysical surveys well advanced - 50m line spaced ground-based magnetic survey completed over entire mining concession (~21 line kilometres).

Capital Structure
- Downhole EM and surface fixed loop EM underway to assess extent of massive sulphide distribution.

- Drilling program commencing this week. (~1,000m RC and ~1,000m DDH) to test approximately 400m of the central portion of the Prospect and several exploratory holes on strike extensions to the NW and SE.

ADDITIONAL TENURE SECURED
Helix has secured an additional ~100km² of exploration concessions in Region IV following the encouraging results returned from Blanco Y Negro. The new ground is prospective for high-grade shear and vein hosted copper/gold and will be worked-up over the coming months in conjunction with our ongoing field activities.

JOSHUA PROJECT
A site visit by consultant structural geologist Mr Leigh Restdown Gold JV (70%) Rankin has assisted in refining the 2013 fieldprogram at Canbelego Copper JV (51%) Joshua. Whilst the priority remains to secure a wellNSW - Lachlan Region funded JV partner with porphyry development skills to advance the project, given the localised drilling on a Chile - Joshua Project small portion of the Target 1 porphyry to date, a Chile - Huallillinga Project program directed at specific geophysical, structural and Chile - Hado Project alteration targets within this very large system in coming months will greatly assist in confirming and advancing the overall project prospectivity.

BLANCO Y NEGRO MINE PROSPECT – ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
A ground magnetic survey was undertaken in late March 2013 to assist in domaining the Prospects’ geology and to isolate potential structural controls for the mineralisation at Blanco y Negro. A total of 21 line kilometres of 50m line spaced ground mag was collected. Combined with field interpretations by consultant geologist, Mr Leigh Rankin, the primary NW structure and possible parallel repeats (east and west of the known workings) have been identified as the primary targets for mineralisation, with a series of secondary and slightly steeper N- S structures possibly providing linking features for additional mineralisation, particularly in the hanging wall of the main shear where pits have been dug on these features within the historic workings.

An assessment of the DDHHU001 drill core has confirmed the massive sulphide intersected in that hole gives an excellent electrical response, with no response returned from the surrounding disseminated mineralisation, nor the host rock. As the host rock is dominated by andesites and intrusive breccias, we expect to see good contrast between potential massive sulphide accumulations and the surrounding material. The EM geophysics crew has commenced surveying the central strike of the prospect and is expected to have completed a downhole survey on DDHHU001 and several surface fixed loops over the next week. The proposed drilling program may be modified to test any additional conductor targets identified.

The RC and Diamond drill crews have arrived onsite and have commenced drilling. Drilling will consist of RC precollars with a diamond tails through the target zone. This will assist in isolating important structure, mineral species and lithological boundaries associated with the mineralisation. Drilling is expected to continue for approximately 4 weeks. Helix has increased the field team to two geologists and four field technicians for the duration of the program to fast-track logging, cutting and sampling for this program.
