JOGMEC Funded Stage 2 Drilling Campaign FastTracked - Second Hole Underway

Highlights

  • JOGMEC commits to funding the Stage 2 exploration drilling phase, over an aggressive (6 month) timeframe at the Samuel Copper Project - Chile.

  • The Stage 2 program comprises of 8-10 holes for a minimum 3,000m testing targets derived from the Stage 1 geophysics and mapping activities.

  • The JV Management Committee has directed Helix’s Chile technical team to progress immediately onto Stage 2, with an approved budget of US$800,000 .

  • The diamond drill rig will remain onsite to complete the first-pass drill testing of numerous Manto and Porphyry style copper targets at Samuel.

Drilling Update

  • Diamond drilling of first-ever hole has been completed.[(refer 29 March 2019 ASX announcement)] Assays are expected later this month. The second hole is now underway.

  • This first hole (SA19-01) was extended from 400m to 465m, testing below an area of historic copper oxide workings, in a structurally favourable setting.

  • The hole has intersected highly altered and partly brecciated volcanics, before moving into a monzonitic intrusive.

  • Traces of disseminated and veinlet-style copper sulphides were identified in core from both lithology types (refer to Photos).

  • Geology in the first-ever hole suggests this large system at Samuel is both fertile and prospective for the styles of copper mineralisation being sought.

Helix Resources Limited (ASX:HLX) ( Helix or the Company ) is pleased to announce that Japanese organisation and JV Partner JOGMEC has advised Helix that they have received internal approvals and have committed to funding the exploration drilling phase of the Samuel Copper Project JV.

An US$800,000 (~AUD$1.13m) contribution from JOGMEC will sole-fund a minimum 3,000m of diamond drilling in an additional 8-10 holes, fulfilling their funding commitment to Stage 2 of the Samuel Joint Venture Agreement.

The Stage 2 Program will be completed over a shortened six (6) month period to the end of September 2019. Drill collar positions at priority targets have been approved by the JV Management Committee.

This aggressive timeframe and program commitment ensures early drill testing of up to 10 priority target areas derived from the Stage 1 field activities, and maximises copper exploration at the Samuel Project over the coming months. The Project area is prospective for both Mantostyle and Porphyry-style copper (+gold) systems.

Helix Managing Director, Mick Wilson, said: “Our JV Partner, the highly regarded Japanese organisation JOGMEC, informed us of their desire to immediately commit to the exploration drilling phase of the Samuel JV on a shortened timeframe. This commitment to this drillingfocused phase of the JV is an exciting development, with drilling news flow expected throughout the second and third quarters of 2019 from the Samuel Copper Project. Importantly, Helix retains a material exposure to another large copper asset in this world-class jurisdiction, and it allows Helix to continue to focus our main efforts on the advancement of our flagship copper assets in NSW.”

==> picture [596 x 74] intentionally omitted <==

To date, ten (10) priority target areas have been derived from the Stage 1 work programs within the 40 square kilometre project area[(refer 29 March 2019 ASX announcement).] . With JOGMEC having informed Helix of their approval and commitment to Stage 2, the majority of these targets are expected to be drill tested by the end of September 2019.

Drilling Program Update

The first ever hole at the Samuel Copper Project is now completed. (the hole was funded from the remaining budget from the Stage 1 program[(refer 29 March 2019 ASX announcement)] ). This hole tested below historic copper oxide workings within a coincident geochemical anomaly in a structurally favourable geological setting (refer Figure 1).

The hole, initially planned to a depth of 400m, was extended to 465m, and has returned encouraging visual signs for primary copper mineralisation with copper sulphides in both the highly altered and variably brecciated volcanics as well as the altered monzonitic intrusive intersected from 369m down hole.

Hole 1 is currently being logged, photographed and sampled. The core from the Samuel Project will be assayed for base metals and gold, with batches of results from assays expected toward the end of this month. The hole will be considered for a follow-up down-hole IP survey.

Helix is acting as manager during the early stages of the JV, earning a Management Fee, and are making our recommendations to the JV participants based on our extensive exploration experience and 8 years operational knowledge working in Chile. Helix is looking to maximise value for the JV participants by delivering an optimal outcome from the programs from funding made available by JOGMEC.

About the Samuel Copper Project JV

Helix executed a binding Interim Joint Venture Agreement ( IJVA ) with JOGMEC in relation to Helix’s 100%owned Samuel Copper Project in Chile, announced 5[th] September 2018.

The IJVA provides for the continued exploration of the copper prospective and large-scale Samuel Project from a conceptual target without financial contribution from Helix through the earn-in period. In addition, Helix will receive a management fee while Helix’s Chilean team manages the JV through Stages 1- 3.

Key terms of the IJVA

The IJVA provides an avenue for JOGMEC to earn up to a 60% interest in the Samuel Project by funding a 3 stage US$2.4M program to 31 March 2021. The JV terms are:

  • Stage 1: Contribute US$0.4M (Minimum Commitment) by 31 March 2019 primarily for the purpose of undertaking of large-scale geophysical surveys and mapping of the Samuel porphyry and mantostyle copper systems.

  • Stage 2 : Contribute US$0.8M by 31 March 2020 primarily for the purpose of undertaking initial exploration diamond drilling to drill test the identified priority targets for mineralised systems.

  • Stage 3 : Contribute US$1.2M by 31 March 2021 primarily for the purpose of undertaking a second phase diamond drilling to establish scale and continuity of any identified mineralised systems.

  • At completion of Stage 3 JOGMEC will earn an option to acquire 60% equity in the project and have the right to sell their joint venture interest by tender to a Japanese company.

  • Helix’s Chilean team will manage the project until the completion of Stage 3 with Helix receiving a Management Fee for these services.

History of the Samuel Copper Project

The Samuel Copper Project was a greenfield project generated by Helix and is located southeast of Ovalle City in Region IV, approximately 25km southwest of the Joshua Project and 320km North of Santiago - Chile. The Samuel Project lies on the intersection of the regionally significant Los Mantos Fault and a major NW trending lineament, both structures control numerous mineral deposits and mines in the district (Refer Figure 3).

The project is prospective for both porphyry and manto-style copper mineralisation. The main target area is defined by an approximate 19km² zone of mixed intrusives, volcanics, stockworks and breccias with porphyry related alteration defining the extent of the system.
