ASX Announcement

23 July 2014

BROWNS PROSPECT RECEIVES DRILLING APPROVAL

  • Government approvals have been received for a maiden drilling program at Brown’s Prospect; Drilling to commence late August

  • Remaining infill soil auger sampling has strengthened the coherent gold-in-soil anomaly, with new peak gold result of 294ppb Au.

Helix Resources Limited (ASX:HLX) is pleased to announce that pleased that a planned maiden drilling program has now received approval from the NSW Mines Department. A drilling contractor has subsequently been selected. The drilling program is expected to commence in late August.

Results from the remaining infill hydraulic soil auger sampling program have strengthened the existing 1km long gold-in-soil anomaly at the Browns Prospect.

The Browns Prospect

The Brown’s Gold Prospect is located on the southeast edge of the historic Muriel Tank Goldfield, approximately 60km east of Cobar. The gold in soil anomaly at Brown’s has never been drilled, has a strike length of over 1km, with several minor historic workings present. The nearby Mt Boppy gold deposit produced over 450,000oz of gold at a grade in excess of 10g/t Au, from a strike length of approximately 260m. Helix rock-chip sampling, from the anomaly, has returned assays of up to 15.5g/t Au.

An additional 190 infill auger soil samples were collected earlier this month. This has closed-down the sampling grid to 50m x 10m over the 1km strike. Results from the infill soil sampling continue to illustrate the consistency of the gold anomaly, with a new peak result of 294ppb Au (Figure1 ).

The target zone and anomalism correlates with a subtle magnetic high feature within a broader magnetic low. The subtle magnetic high appears to relate to the axial plane position within a large fold hinge. Where limited bedrock sub-crops in the area; it comprises an altered shale breccia with quartz/carbonate/ex-sulphide matrix and strongly deformed altered shale with traces of blue quartz veining.

The combination of the coherent gold anomalism on an open strike extent of 1 kilometre and the identification of mineralised workings hosted in altered sediments in a potential structural trap-site, have further enhanced this Cobar-style gold target.

impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.

EL6739 is held by Isokind Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Glencore). A dealing on
the tenement is registered with the NSW Mines Department, which stipulates the presence of the
Helix/Glencore JV Agreement and Helix’s equity right currently at 70% held under that agreement.

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.

Glencore had undertaken previous broad-spaced regional soils in the Browns Prospect
area collecting whole soils at set depths, prior to them several companies had explored the
goldfield area to varyingdegrees,but not specificallyat the Brown Prospect area.

All samples collected to date illustrated in Figure 1 and results reported in previous
announcements
Other substantive
exploration data

Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but
not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk
samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.

Further work

The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth
extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main
geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially
sensitive.

An RC drill program has been approved by mines department and is expected to
commenced in late August, refer to body of announcement.
