More Shallow CZ Copper Intercepts & Additional Prospective Copper Ground Consolidation

==> picture [458 x 207] intentionally omitted <==

  • Additional shallow ‘oxide’ copper zone identified at western end of the CZ Deposit[1] with;

  • 4m at 1.2% Cu from 40m, within 32m at 0.57% Cu from 31m (CORC144)

  • Visible oxide copper mineralisation observed[2] at new eastern shallow copper zone in recent follow-up RC drilling, which remains open to the east – assays pending

  • Helix has significantly increased its tenement position immediately to the south of Aeris Resources Ltd’s (ASX:AIS) Tritton Copper Operations to consolidate prospective copper ground

  • CZ drill program complete and drill rig ready to mobilise back to Canbelego

  • Significant exploration program planned on both advanced projects and regional targets over next few months with Helix’s new Orange exploration facilities now coming online to improve sampling and logging efficiencies.

Helix Resources Limited ( ASX: HLX ) (“Helix” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce a series of highly encouraging activities at the Company’s wholly owned tenements along the Collerina Trend, located in the prolific copper-endowed Cobar region of NSW.

Commenting on Helix’s activities, Managing Director Mike Rosenstreich said:

“More copper! The drilling at the CZ deposit continues to generate positive results as we have not only identified a new shallow oxide layer but have now confirmed that it extends west and east of the existing deposit. We are making considerable progress in outlining additional mineralisation at CZ.

“Not only are we discovering more copper but we are expanding our footprint by consolidating our landholding in the area with the application for three exploration licenses covering more than 670km[2] , some of which adjoins Aeris Resources’ Tritton Copper Operations to the north.

“I am very excited by these activities and while the task of core logging and geological modelling is being undertaken, we will look to move the rig back to Canbelego where Helix discovered massive copper sulphides in our last campaign. We will continue to keep shareholders abreast of our latest developments with further assays and drilling to come.”

Drilling at CZ Deposit

Drilling was completed at CZ on 29 November, for a total of 20 drill holes comprising 1,420.6 metres of reverse circulation (RC) and 2,005.8 metres of diamond drill core.

The RC program successfully identified new zones of shallow, high-grade, ‘oxide’ copper mineralisation to the east and west of the CZ Deposit[3] . Diamond drilling also intersected oxide and primary base-metal sulphide zones for metallurgical sampling as well as various drill tests for extensions and repetitions of the existing sulphide-copper shoot structures as presented in Figure 1.

Western shallow copper (Cu) zone

Additional assays have been received for RC drill holes testing for shallow ‘oxide’ copper mineralisation at the western end of the CZ deposit:

  • 6m at 0.23% Cu from 25m (CORC143)

  • 4m at 1.2% Cu from 40m , within 32m at 0.57% Cu from 31m (CORC144)

Previous drillholes (pre-2021) in this area also have indications of oxide mineralisation. However, most of these drillholes, particularly to the southeast, have not been geologically logged and also appear to be significantly ‘under-sampled’. There are clearly important data-gaps in this area which are currently being resolved to fully understand the geological controls and copper potential.

Eastern shallow Cu zone

A new, shallow, open-ended, high-grade copper-oxide zone to the southeast of the CZ deposit was reported (see ASX Announcement dated: 1 November 2021), with intercepts such as:

  • 7m at 2.64% Cu & 1.18 g/t gold (Au) within 25m at 0.94% Cu from 20m (CORC141)

  • 7m at 2.83% Cu within 30m at 0.86% Cu from 14m (CORC140)

  • 3m at 2.74% Cu within 8m at 1.17% Cu from 32m (CORC139)

Two additional RC holes (to complete the current allocation of approved drilling) were undertaken to follow-up this new zone. The following visual estimates[4] are recorded as part of the geological logging:

  • 14m interval from 34m of malachite and possible chalcocite (copper ‘oxide’ minerals) (CORC0150 – refer photo on front page)

  • 4m interval from 25m of malachite and possible chalcocite (CORC0151)

These drill holes have visually confirmed ‘oxide’ copper mineralisation between the two assayed intervals in holes CORC140 and CORC139, and indicate that the mineralisation remains open to the southeast – albeit narrower, but warrants further testing. Assays for these holes are pending and expected in January 2022 and assays received to date are summarised in Table 1

Main CZ sulphide shoot

Sampling of the diamond tails for drill holes CORC0146 and CORDC0149 is in progress at the Company’s new exploration base in Orange, NSW. There is a backlog of logging and sampling of the diamond drill holes which the recent occupation of the new exploration base and the imminent commissioning of the new automated core saw should help alleviate.

Typical for all exploration programs in the current environment, there is a 4 to 5 week waiting time for assay results to be reported by the labs which will see results continue to roll-out over the coming months. This includes assays for the four metallurgical diamond core drill holes with results for 497 samples submitted in November expected in January 2022. A full drilling status summary for the CZ program is provided in Table 2.

Down hole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveys are planned on holes CORC0137 and CORC0146, which subject to the weather and EM crew availability will be completed this month.

At CZ in particular, the exploration team is revisiting the geological model with the ongoing addition of new data from the current drilling and geophysical survey programs as well as from the logging of a significant number of ‘pre-2021’ CZ drill holes that were never logged. The updated geological model will be used to plan the next round of CZ drilling and underpin a revised Mineral Resource estimate – likely sometime mid-next year.

Copper Ground Consolidation

Helix has increased its tenement holding to cover prospective copper positions to the north and east of its Collerina group tenements (refer Figure 2). The Company is taking a proactive approach to consolidating its tenement position as it advances its regional exploration work.

Helix’s 100%-owned subsidiary company Oxley Resources Pty Ltd has applied for three new Exploration Licences (ELA6389, ELA6391 & ELA6392) covering 672.5km[2] to the north, adjoining Aeris Resources’ Tritton operations and extending on the western side of the Collerina Trend contiguous with Helix’s existing tenure.

Exploration Program Outlook

An ongoing, busy program focused on both advanced targets and regional prospects is planned for the close of the year and into Q3 next year.

Work on advanced projects includes:

  • DHEM at CZ planned for December 2021

  • Diamond drilling at Canbelego, targeting further extensions to the mineralisation, to commence early December and extend through January 2022 (planning in progress)

Planned work on regional targets and prospects includes:

  • Surface EM surveys in January-February 2022 over the VTEM anomalies identified:

  • Adjacent to the Canbelego Deposit (northeast and south)

  • Quanda (northern Collerina Trend)

  • Fiveways (southern Collerina Trend)

  • RC drilling at Canbelego following-up surface EM targets and shallow oxide resources in January 2022 (planning in progress)

  • Regional soil auger – North Collerina Trend January-February 2022

This planned work program is subject to access to the ground, which at the present time is largely contingent on the weather. The unusually heavy rainfall has adversely impacted and delayed harvesting of crops as well as access on unsealed local roads and farm tracks. Unsealed roads in the Cobar and Bogan Local Government Areas were closed earlier this week, and many still have heavy vehicle restrictions in place. Helix is in close consultation with affected landowners and has had to delay exploration activities due to these weather-related events. It is anticipated that the drilling rig will mobilise to Canbelego later this week.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

References in this announcement to visual results are from RC drilling. Visible oxide mineralisation in RC drilling comprised the copper hydroxide mineral malachite in variable abundance ranging from 0.1% to 1% and possible trace chalcocite in one metre samples for the intervals. Visual estimates of percentages are based on sieved RC chips and therefore may not be representative of the entire sample as gangue minerals may be washed through the sieve. Laboratory assays are required for representative estimates of copper abundance. All RC holes have been sampled in one metre intervals and submitted to the laboratory for analysis. Assays for the RC samples are expected in January 2022. Refer to Table A1 for further details.

Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels,
random chips, or specific specialised industry
standard measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as down hole
gamma sounds, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.).
These examples should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of
any measurement tools or systems used.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that
are Material to the Public Report.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been
done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples
from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g
charge for fire assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.
Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
Diamond Core Drilling (DD)

Commercial drilling contractor Mitchell Services conducted the DD drilling. The holes
are orientated approximately S-SW (225-270°) and were drilled with starting dips of
between 60-50°.

Drill hole locations are determined using a hand-held GPS. Down-hole surveys were
conducted using the Reflex multi-shot gyro system.

Diamond drill core is sampled at 1m intervals, taking half core at various intervals
(=/<1m).

The samples were collected and always supervised by Helix staff.

The samples were always under the direct control of Helix staff or consultants and are
transported to the laboratory by a commercial transport contractor.
Reverse Circulation (RC) Drilling

Commercial drilling contractor Mitchell Services conducted the RC drilling. The holes
are orientated approximately SW (225°) and were drilled with starting dips of 60°.

Drill hole locations are determined using a hand-held GPS. Down-hole surveys were
conducted using the Reflex multi-shot gyro system.

Holes were sampled at 1m intervals via a cyclone directly split into a numbered calico
bag with weights typically from 2kg to 4kg for the lab sample, and a large plastic bag
for the remaining sample.

The lab samples were collected and always supervised by Helix staff.

The samples were always under the direct control of Helix staff and were transported
to the laboratory by a commercial transport contractor.
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open- hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.)
and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or
other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what
method, etc.).

Diamond drilling (DD) and Reverse Circulation drilling (RC) were undertaken.

DD: PQ, HQ and NQ drill core was collected using triple tube and all other industry
practice methods.

RC: 5 ½ inch diameter drill bit.

Drill sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples.

Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias may
have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.

Core recoveries are recorded by the driller on core blocks and checked by a geologist
or field technician.

Diamond core is reconstructed into continuous runs on an angle iron cradle for
orientation marking and depths are checked against the depths recorded on core
blocks. Rod counts are routinely undertaken by drillers as a further cross-reference for
depth and core recovery.

Samples were checked by the geologist for consistency and compared to the sample
interval data for accuracy.

RC bulk bag samples are not weighed, however recoveries are monitored and recorded
by the supervising geologist.

When poor sample recovery is encountered during drilling, the geologist and driller
attempt to rectify the problem to ensure maximum sample recovery.

Sample recoveries at CZ are typically good for both RC and DD, apart from when voids
are intersected. The void intervals are recorded on geological logs.
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a
level of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.)

The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.

The drill core is stored in core trays at secure facilities in Parkes and Orange. The core is
comprehensively logged and sampled by experienced Helix geologists or consultants.

The core is entirely logged for lithology, alteration, degree of oxidation, structure,
colour and occurrence and type of sulphide mineralisation.

Note – some of the historic RC drill holes were not geologically logged as annotated in
the plans and sections presented.

Diamond core and RC chips are logged to an appropriate level of detail to increase the
level of geological knowledge and increase the geological understanding of the CZ
deposit.

Drill core is cut with a core saw and a half core sample is taken for laboratory analysis.

The RC drilling rig is equipped with an in-built cyclone and splitting system, which
provided one bulk sample of approximately 20kg to 30kg and a sub-sample of 2-4kg
per metre drilled.

All RC samples were split using the system described above to maximise and maintain
consistent representivity. The majority of samples were dry.

Bulk samples were placed in green plastic bags, with the sub-samples collected placed
in calico sample bags.

Field duplicates were collected by spear from green plastic bags. These duplicates were
designed for laboratory checks.

(i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established.

ALS Laboratory Services were used for Au and multi-element analysis work carried on
out on 1m split RC samples and half core DD samples. The laboratory techniques below
are for all samples submitted to ALS and are considered appropriate for the style of

ME-ICP61 48 element 4 acid digest ICP-AES.

OG62 Ore Grade finish for non-Au over range samples.

The QA/QC data includes standards, duplicates and laboratory checks.

Duplicates for percussion drilling are collected from the one metre sample bag using a
spear.

QA/QC tests are conducted by the laboratory on each batch of samples with CRM
standards.
Verification

and assaying

The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage (physical
and electronic) protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Assays results are validated by standard relational database procedures and are verified
by Helix management.

Assay data are not adjusted.

Geological data is collected using handwritten graphical log sheets, which detail
geology (weathering, structure, alteration, mineralisation), sample quality, sample
interval and sample number.

QA/QC inserts (standards, duplicates, blanks) are added to the sample stream.

Data spacing
and
distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.

Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of geological and
grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s)
and classifications applied.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.

Drill holes were positioned to target extension of mineralisation along strike and down-
dip of existing mineralisation. Deeper DD holes will test specific DHEM plates below the
current resource wireframe. The PQ DD holes targeted known mineralisation to
provide samples for metallurgical test work. The RC holes tested for shallow copper
oxide resources and provided pre-collars for DD tails.

Drilling has been conducted by Helix since 2013.

The drilling had been conducted in a manner consistent with the procedures set out in
this JORC table.

Assays used in the current resource were generated by Helix.

No compositing of samples has been undertaken.
Orientation
of data in
relation to
geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and
the extent to which this is known, considering
the deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling orientation
and the orientation of key mineralised structures is
considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if material.

The position of the drill holes and the sampling techniques and intervals are considered
appropriate for the geometry of the CZ mineralisation.

Drilling is designed to intersect mineralisation as close to perpendicular as possible.

Drill hole deviation will influence true width estimates of mineralisation. True width of
mineralisation will be further assessed with detailed logging of orientated structural
data and when the resource model is updated.

Drill hole intersections of mineralisation are not considered to be biased.

The measures taken to ensure sample security.

Chain of Custody is managed by Helix staff and its contractors. The samples
were freighted directly to the laboratory with appropriate documentation listing
sample numbers, sample batches, and required analytical methods and element
determinations.
Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.

No additional audits or reviews have been conducted for the drilling to date.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral
tenement and
land tenure
status

Type, reference name/number, location and
ownership including agreements or materialissues
with third parties such as joint ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties, native title
interests, historical sites, wilderness or national
park and environmental settings.

The security of the tenure held at the time of
reporting along with any known impediments to
obtaining a licence to operate in the area.

The CZ resource is located on EL8768 approximately 55km SSW Nyngan.

Helix has 100% beneficial ownership of EL8768, which is held by Solindo Pty Ltd, a
100% owned subsidiary of Alpha HPA Ltd. Ownership of EL8768 will be formally
transferred to a 100% owned Helix subsidiary upon completion of an acquisition
agreement with Alpha HPA (refer to ASX announcement of 2/09/2021).

The tenement is in good standing.

This is no statutory, minimum annual expenditure. Rather a program-based
exploration commitment is applicable.

There are no known impediments to operating in this area.

The drill area is situated in a grazing paddock and can be accessed all year round.
Exploration
done by
other parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by
other parties.

Previous drilling, soil sampling and early geophysics was conducted by CRA in the
1980’s.

Small historic workings are present near CZ.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.

The project is considered to be prospective for structurally controlled copper.
Drill hole
Information

A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results including
a tabulation of the following information for all
Material drill holes:

If the exclusion of this information is justified on the
basis that the information is not Material and this
exclusion does not detract from the understanding
of the report, the Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.


Refer to Helix’s previous announcements available at www.helixresources.com.au.

Relevant dill hole information has been included in this announcement.

Known mineralised zones have been targeted by the metallurgical test work drilling.

The remainder of the drilling is targeting extensional copper oxide and copper sulphide
resources.
Data
aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum
grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and
cut-off grades are usually Material and should be
stated.

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high-grade results and longer lengths of
low-grade results, theprocedure usedfor such

All assays reported are based on 1m samples.

Mineralised intercepts for Cu and Au are averaged within a contiguous interval above a
specified Cu cut-off grade with a maximum of 2m of internal dilution.

Cu and Au intercepts were calculated for Cu cut-off grades of 0.1% Cu, 0.5% Cu and 1%
Cu.

No assay cut of high-grade material has been applied.

No metal equivalent values have been calculated.

aggregation shouldbe stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations should be shown in
detail.

The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths

These relationships are particularly important in
the reporting of Exploration Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect
to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should
be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths
are reported, there should be a clear statement to
this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not
known’).

Drilling is designed to intersect mineralisation as close to perpendicular as possible.

Drill hole deviation will influence true width estimates of mineralisation. True width of
mineralisation will be further assessed on analysis of orientated structural data and
when the resource model is updated.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for any
significant discovery being reported. These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill
hole collar locations and appropriate sectional
views.

Refer to Figures in this announcement.
Balanced
reporting

Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration
Results is not practicable, representative reporting
of both low and high grades and/or widths should
be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of
Exploration Results.

The reporting is considered to be balanced and all material information has been
disclosed.

A Cautionary Statement regarding visual estimates of mineralisation abundance has
been included with this report. It states that laboratory assays are required for
representative estimates of mineralisation abundance.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g.
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.

Down hole EM (DHEM) will be undertaken on several holes completed in the current
drilling program.

Further DD and RC drilling and assaying is likely following assays and DHEM results.

An update of the resource to JORC2012 is also planned in 2021.

Regional auger soil sampling and surface EM is also planned to follow-up VTEM
anomalies defined earlier this year.
