INTRODUCTION
Helix Resources Limited (ASX:HLX) has commenced an integrated work program at the White Hills Copper - Gold Project in Northern Arizona (Figure 1, Figure 2). This program is designed to refine geological interpretations and test the scale of copper gold mineralisation potential at the White Hills Project.
The prospectivity of the White Hills Project has been established through the integration of historical geochemical, geological and geophysical datasets[2] . The Project area lies within two significant metallogenic belts. The northern portion of the tenement package sits within the Arizona Arc, which hosts several porphyry copper systems associated with Cretaceous intrusions. The southern part of the regional setting relates to the Walker Lane trend, which contains multiple multi-million-ounce gold systems. These two domains provide a strong geological context for targeting copper and gold mineralisation across White Hills.
Historical exploration includes airborne magnetics, radiometrics, gravity, and hyperspectral surveys, along with two soil sampling programs totalling 3,687 samples across the white Hills tenement package, together with a historical database of 633 rock samples ( Figure 3 ). Rock chip sampling returned individual samples grading up to 23 grams per tonne gold with 0.8 percent copper, and up to 5.7 percent copper with 6.1 grams per tonne gold[3] .
Historical diamond drilling targeted gold only and did not assay for copper ( Figure 4 ). Copper in surface geochemistry indicates that these holes partly tested the mineral system without fully evaluating the copper potential. Helix acquired White Hills in March 2025[3] , and the current program has been designed to meet the expenditure requirements of the Newmont Joint Venture earn-in.
Interpretation of regional datasets suggests potential for porphyry copper-gold mineralisation linked to Cretaceous intrusions as well as detachment-related gold systems further south. The current program is designed to refine the three-dimensional architecture of the mineral system, evaluate the distribution of intrusive bodies and define structural controls on anomalism. This supports Helix’s objective to establish a more robust geological model.

WORK PROGRAMS COMMENCING
Mobilisation for both surveys has commenced, and field deployment will progress across the Project area over the coming weeks. The integrated program consists of passive seismic Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT), a Controlled-Source Audio-Magnetotellurics (CSAMT) and a diamond drilling program.
The passive seismic and CSAMT datasets will provide new information on the distribution of intrusive rocks, the geometry of potential detachment structures and the deeper resistivity framework. Drilling will test the strongest copper and gold anomalies at Section 2. These combined datasets will underpin development of a district-scale three-dimensional model for the White Hills to Gold Basin corridor.
Passive Seismic Survey Parameters and Objectives
The passive seismic program will be conducted using Fleet Space Technologies’ Ambient Noise Tomography system. Approximately 200 nodes will be deployed across the Project area. Station spacing will be about 400 metres at a camp scale and 230 metres across the Section 2 mineralised zone. The survey is expected to image lithological boundaries to depths between 1.15 and 1.85 kilometres across the Project area.
The method is well suited to White Hills where shallow alluvium obscures prospective basement units. The passive seismic data will help refine the distribution of Cretaceous intrusions that are considered important for porphyry mineralisation. The data will also help evaluate the relationship between the Section 2 anomaly and the Owens structural corridor and assess whether the Muddy Creek Fan conglomerate to the north of Section 2 represents a post-mineral feature that masks the distribution of copper-gold anomalism.
Fleet Space was selected due to the efficiency of its deployment and processing workflow. Preliminary threedimensional models are typically delivered promptly, providing rapid insight into subsurface geometry.
Controlled-Source Audio-Magnetotellurics Survey Parameters and Role
The CSAMT survey will be conducted in parallel with the passive seismic program. CSAMT surveys help map resistivity contrasts that relate to intrusive contacts, structures and alteration zones. The CSAMT survey at White Hills will focus on Section 2 and will be oriented to test across the structural fabric indicated by airborne datasets and regional mapping. The dataset will help refine and image the geometry of the Section 2 mineralised structure.
Integration of CSAMT and passive seismic data will support development of a comprehensive three-dimensional model for the mineral system. Passive seismic will define lithological boundaries and crustal geometry while MT will define conductivity and resistivity domains. The combined dataset will provide a strong foundation for future drill targeting.
Diamond Drilling Program and Target Prioritisation
A diamond drilling program will follow the geophysical surveys. Drilling will focus on the copper and gold anomalies at Section 2. Verification holes will confirm historical gold results and provide copper assays in zones where earlier drilling targeted gold only. Additional drillholes will test structural positions and magnetic features interpreted from airborne datasets and geochemical trends.
The drilling program will comprise short diamond holes targeting the strongest copper and gold anomalies at Section 2. Based on internal planning, a program in the order of 1,000 to 3,000 meters is under consideration, with final meterage contingent on target prioritisation and survey outcomes. The drilling aims to provide information that supports evaluation of both porphyry-related and detachment-related mineralisation models. The drillholes will also provide structural information and fresh rock samples for geochemical and mineralogical evaluation.
Next Steps
Data from the passive seismic and CSAMT surveys will be integrated with drilling results to produce a consolidated three-dimensional geological model for White Hills and Gold Basin. This model will support definition of ranked drill targets for follow-up drilling in early-to-mid 2026 and will assist in identifying areas where additional surface sampling or geophysical work may be required. Completion of the current program also

aligns with the requirements of the Newmont Joint Venture. The integrated dataset will provide the basis for planning the next stage of exploration and will help ensure that future drilling is directed toward the most prospective targets.
