Helix Resources Limited (ASX:HLX) ( Helix or the Company ) is pleased to announce it has binding commitments to raise $1.0m via the issue of 62,500,000 at 1.6 cents/share (a 10% discount to the last market close price of 1.8 cents as at close of trade on 19 November 2019). Morgans Corporate was the lead manager with the funds raised from institutional, sophisticated and strategic investors. The issue will be undertaken using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1
The primary use of funds is to complete further drilling surrounding the initial maiden resource of 2.02Mt @ 2.03% Cu for 40,400t copper at the Collerina Copper Deposit (refer ASX announcement 11 June 2019 ) and testing regional targets emerging from the 2019 auger soil programs (refer ASX announcement 17 November 2019 ).
Managing Director Mick Wilson said: “Helix has plans to immediately commence drilling at our flagship Collerina Copper Deposit. We have identified robust copper targets to drill test surrounding the initial maiden resource, and we look forward to expanding this near-surface, high quality deposit. We are also very excited about testing the additional copper potential emerging from our regional programs. New targets areas along the Collerina Copper Trend and the recently identified Rochford Project target could see multiple discoveries for Helix, and the emergence of a copper camp, as we advance Collerina toward initial economic studies in 2020”.

Appendix 1
Recent “near deposit” exploration success by Helix’s northern neighbour Aeris (ASX:AIS) at their Murrawombie Copper Deposit provides additional confidence for Helix’s proposed targeting at Collerina.
Aeris has recently identified a new parallel zone of thicker high-grade copper approximately 100m in the horizontal plane from the existing resource. This may represent a similar structural framework to the repeat folding model Helix has interpreted at Collerina.
