ASX Announcement

2 October 2017

NSW PROJECTS – EXPLORATION UPDATE

COLLERINA COPPER PROJECT

  • Statutory approvals have been received for the upcoming RC/DD drilling program.

  • Helix currently liaising with the drilling contractor on rig scheduling and commencement date.

  • Details of the program will be released in a separate announcement when finalised.

MUNDARLO PROJECT

  • Helix’s initial program targeting VMS-style base metal systems at Mundarlo has defined a discrete bedrock EM Conductor:

  • A moderately dipping plate has been modelled with a conductance level of 200400 Siemens (within the base metal sulphide response range).

  • The conductor plate is positioned down-dip of gossanous chert horizons within a north-west trending mixed volcano-sedimentary basin sequence.

  • The top of the conductor plate models at a depth of approximately 100m below surface, with a strike of 780m and a dip extent of 460m.

  • Helix plans to complete close-spaced soil geochemical surveys along the projected surface strike of the EM conductor prior to drill testing of the target.

  • Helix has satisfied its minimum expenditure and has the right to earn 60% equity by completing a two-hole drilling program within a $100,000 expenditure commitment by 18 February 2018.

COBAR GOLD PROJECT

  • Rock chip samples collected from the historic Lone Hand and Girl in Blue workings have returned high grade gold assays (up to 17.7g/t gold).

  • These historic prospects on the western side of the goldfield (Republic, Reward, Lone Hand and Girl in Blue) now define an open-ended gold bearing zone over a 3km long north-northwest trend.

Helix Resources Limited (ASX:HLX) ( Helix or the Company ) is pleased to provide an update regarding the ongoing exploration activities at its copper and gold projects in NSW.

MUNDARLO PROJECT

A recently completed MLEM survey at the Mundarlo Project has identified a discrete bedrock conductor in a favorable setting for VMS-style base metal deposits. The conductor sits below a zone of broad spaced historic copper-in-soil anomalism, which has never been drill tested.

An assessment of the 12 line kilometre MLEM survey data by the Company’s geophysical consultant has highlighted a discrete conductor associated with a subtle magnetic linear unit within the basin. The modelled conductor plate has a conductance response of 200-400 Siemens (a response consistent with base metal sulphide bearing rock). The plate dips to the southwest and appears to be associated with previously mapped gossanous banded chert horizons at surface. The top of the conductor plate models at a depth of approximately 100m below surface, with a strike of 780m and a dip extent of 460m.

Helix has undertaken an initial orientation geochemical survey to confirm the historic soil results on the neighboring property. The Company plans to complete infill auger soil sampling over the EM target area, where the surface/near-surface expression of the modeled EM plate should project. This is expected to be followed by drill testing of the EM target to satisfy the earn-in commitment for the project.

Managing Director Mick Wilson said: “ Whilst we are firmly concentrating our current exploration efforts on advancing our Collerina Copper Project, the Mundarlo Project represented a low-cost and exciting addition to Helix’s NSW copper and gold asset portfolio. These initial results from the Mundarlo work program show that the techniques Helix has adopted for early-stage exploration in NSW are generating genuinely prospective new targets. We believe there still exists highly prospective areas in the region and real opportunities to create significant value for our shareholders by making new discoveries ”.

The Mundarlo Project is located 20km southwest of Gundagai, NSW. Helix is targeting base metal mineralisation associated with a series of gossanous horizons within a north-west trending mixed volcano-sedimentary basin sequence, adjacent to the regionally significant Gilmore Fault Zone (Figure 2).

JV Terms: Helix must spend A$100,000 inclusive of the completed program of work, and including a minimum two hole drilling program by February 2018, to earn 60% equity in the Project from the private vendors of Mundarlo. Helix will then have the sole right to move to 80% equity in the Project by spending a further A$150,000 by February 2019.

COBAR GOLD PROJECT

Results from recent rock chip samples collected during reconnaissance mapping at the Lone Hand and Girl in Blue workings have returned very encouraging gold assays (17.7g/t gold from Lone Hand and 2.17g/t gold from Girl in Blue; see Table 1). A third sample, collected from an area of quartz float located 600m west of Girl in Blue, did not return a significant result.

The workings define a 3km long north-northwest (NNW) oriented mineralised trend (also hosting the Republic and Reward prospects) comprising the Western Gold Prospects. This trend corresponds to an interpreted regional structure derived from aeromagnetics located 1.5km to the west of the Central Gold Prospects (Figure 3). This regional NNW structural orientation is considered an important control to mineralisation in the gold field and is a similar orientation to the controlling structures seen at the +4Moz Au Peak Gold Trend, located 35km to the northwest.

At the prospect scale, mineralisation at Lone hand is interpreted to trend toward 350 degrees, parallel to that seen at Reward. The sample that returned 17.7g/t gold was from ferruginous quartz located adjacent to the main collapsed shaft.

At Girl in Blue, ferruginous, weakly quartz veined shear zone material located adjacent to the central and western shafts returned 2.17g/t gold. The sampled quartz veined shear structures observed in historic shafts appear to lie on secondary structures trending 075 degrees (as seen at Battery Tank and Sunrise).
