The Company’s strategy is to focus on its interests in the Cobar region of New South Wales (“NSW”) to grow its existing copper mineral resources[1] through extensional drilling, regional target generation and testing and regional consolidation opportunities to develop a copper business. It is also assessing opportunities to attract outside, project level investment into its Chile copper projects and advance its Cobar gold assets.

�����������������������������
Helix holds a quality portfolio of projects in the Cobar mining district of NSW. The Company’s tenements cover large scale, prospective regional trends with established copper and gold deposits, and additional prospects emerging from its ongoing field programs.
������������������������
In December 2020, a nine (9) hole exploratory reverse-circulation (RC) drilling program for 1,632 metres was undertaken at Collerina. Shallow RC holes were drilled to test an additional 300 metres of the north-western extension of the defined copper mineralisation. Oxide copper mineralisation was intersected high in the shallow holes (in the depletion zone), with CORC127 returning 20 metres at 0.2% Cu, 0.2g/t Au & 0.3g/t Ag from 16 metres downhole[2] . The intercepts were higher in the drill hole than predicted and drill holes targeting 30-50 metres down dip from these holes will be prioritised in a future drill program.
The RC program also included a series of wide-spaced exploratory holes targeting a zone 150-180 metres down dip from the Central Zone (CZ) Mineral Resource[3] . A fold hinge is interpreted in this vicinity (Northern Hinge Zone target). Whilst primary copper mineralisation was intersected at the predicted target depth (eg CORC124 1 metre at 1% Cu, 0.13g/t Au,0.8g/t Ag from 192 metres)[4] , the fold hinge target, typically associated with thicker massive copper sulphide at Collerina, remains untested due to significant hole deviation.
Several of the drill holes completed in 2020 will be subject to down-hole geophysics (DHEM) and conductors identified will be tested using more accurate diamond core drilling in 2021. DHEM has proven very successful in vectoring toward the thickened copper zones in the deeper plunge extent of the CZ Deposit at Collerina.
As the Company builds a better understanding of the geological controls for the high-grade copper in and surrounding the CZ Deposit, work at Collerina will focus on building confidence in the geological model, expanding the resource inventory, initiating development studies and assessing other near-deposit opportunities.
��������������������
Regional soil auger and mapping programs remain a priority along the Collerina trend extensions, however fieldwork was curtailed by COVID travel restrictions during the reporting period.
The entire trend will be subject to a large Heli-borne electromagnetic (EM) survey, as part of Helix’s push in 2021 to identify new copper mineralisation and prioritise targets along this copper prospective corridor.
���������������������������������������������������������������������������������
Representatives of the earn-in partners assessed previous work at the Canbelego Project during the reporting period. This review has identified a series of prospective copper oxide and copper sulphide targets within the project area. Helix, the Manager, has prepared a program and budget to advance the Canbelego project during the current field season. Subject to approvals, Canbelego will see an accelerated exploration program in 2021, including airborne and surface geophysics, geochemistry, geological studies, drilling and a new resource estimation.

At the Bijoux Prospect, a 1.7 kilometre long by 700 metre wide copper-in soil anomaly was tested with a four hole 400 metre scout RC drilling program (two holes per line, 1.4 km apart). The drilling returned anomalous copper over broad widths in the two southern-most holes drilled, (pXRF readings included 38 metres at 0.22% from surface). A small moving loop EM survey was undertaken surrounding these holes prior December 2020, with a partial EM response identified on the eastern and northern edge of the area surveyed.
First-pass exploration at the Bijoux Prospect has produced early indications of a potential copper mineral system. The entire host trend, the Rochford Trend (28km), will be subject to a Heli-borne EM survey in the first quarter of 2021, with plans for additional auger soil programs and drilling in the 2021 field season.
�������������������
Scout RC drilling in the second half of 2020 was undertaken surrounding a series of untested historic gold workings and structural targets. The 28-hole program was completed for 3,659 metres. The program returned anomalous gold (>0/1g/t Au) over broad widths in many of the holes drilled. A highlight was five metres at 1.3g/t Au from 25 metres downhole at the Link Zone, which may indicate a connection between gold mineralisation at the Sunrise and Good Friday prospects.
Access to a 50km[2] area in the northern end of the gold-prospective area was granted during 2020. This is the first time there has been access granted to this area in nearly two decades. With a geological setting analogous to the 4 Moz producing Peak Trend at nearby Cobar, the Company is reviewing data collected this reporting period and assessing and prioritising these new geological and structural targets.
���������������������������������������������������������������������
The Mundarlo Project hosts a new greenfield volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) copper system 10km west of Gundagai, in southern NSW.
The main target is defined by a very large surface EM anomaly (over 1km of strike) that is confirmed to relate to massive sulphide. Limited drilling to date has intersected iron sulphides, however DHEM in a 2019 diamond drill hole has identified two strong off-hole conductors. One modelled conductor is situated in the same plane as the sulphide mineralisation intersected in the hole, close to a cross-cutting structure. This perpendicular structure may represent a (typically base metal-rich) VMS feeder zone. The other lies beyond the depth of the hole and may represent a second sulphide accumulation/pulse during deposition.
The project was not subject to field activities in the 2020 due to COVID travel restrictions and the renewal of the tenement.
����������������
Helix maintains exposure to three copper exploration properties, at low altitude and close to infrastructure in Region IV Chile. Helix is looking at opportunities to attract outside, project level investment into this “worldclass” copper province. In October 2020, JOGMEC had advised it was withdrawing from the Samuel Project.
����������
On 10 July 2020, the Company issued 264,706,567 ordinary shares at $0.007 per share, raising a total of $1.85 million (before costs), completing the Non-Renounceable Entitlement issue of 1 share for every 2 shares held by eligible shareholders as announced on 5 June 2020.
The Company’s annual general meeting was held on 2 November 2020, with all resolutions passed.

These general purpose financial statements for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 have been prepared in accordance with requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards including AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting .
The interim financial statements do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Helix Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by the Group during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001 .
The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes and is domiciled in Australia.
The Consolidated Interim Financial Report has been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on the 10 March 2021.
��������������������
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the interim financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the 2020 annual financial report and the corresponding half-year period, unless otherwise stated.
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified where applicable by the revaluation of right-of-use assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and certain classes of plant and equipment.
�����������������������������������������
The preparation of the interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the interim financial statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the Group’s last annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020.
����������������������������������������������������������������
The Directors have reviewed all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Accounting pronouncements which became effective from 1 July 2020 were adopted but do not have a significant impact on the Group’s financial results or position.
���������������������������������������������������������������
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. The Group has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

The interim financial report for the six months ended 31 December 2020 has been prepared on the going concern basis that contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Company incurred an operating loss after income tax for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 of $471,456 (31 December 2019: $272,862) and reported net cash outflows from operating activities of $366,268 (31 December 2019: $333,033). As at 31 December 2020 the Group had available cash and cash equivalents of $775,859 (30 June 2020: $155,356).
The Company has the ability to defer or reduce its operating expenditure and commitments, or to dispose of assets. However, based on its current projected work program it is anticipated that it will be necessary for the Company to raise additional equity capital during the next twelve months.
The Directors are of the opinion that the Company's projects are very prospective and that the ongoing copper and gold potential of its projects will enable the Company to secure fresh capital as and when required. As announced on 18 February 2021, the Company has received binding applications for $3 million (before costs) via a 2-tranche placement. The Directors have reviewed the Company’s financial position and are of the opinion that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate having regard to the matters outlined above.
Should the Group be unable to obtain the funding as described above, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on whether the Group will be able to continue as a going concern, and therefore, whether it will be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different from these stated in the financial report. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.

1 On 1 December 2019, the Group exercised its option as lessee to extend the term of the leasing agreement for the office premises in Subiaco, WA. At this time, the terms of the agreement were renegotiated and differed from those at the date of initial application. The Group has determined this to be a modification of the agreement under AASB 16 Leases and a reassessment of the resulting lease liability and right-of-use asset was performed at that time. The revaluation was based on the present value of lease payments, using an incremental borrowing rate of 6.11%.

�����������������������������
A Joint Venture agreement was entered with Japanese Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (“JOGMEC”) to fund exploration of up to US$2.4 million (A$3.6 million) through 3 stages, enabling them to earn a 60% interest in the Samuel Copper Project. Field work commenced in November with an initial drone magnetic survey completed in December. Detailed mapping, and an IP survey are expected to be completed in the first phase. Helix is currently receiving a fee to manage the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture terms are:
-
������� : Contribute US$0.4 million by 31 March 2019 primarily for the purpose of undertaking large-scale geophysical surveys and mapping of the Samuel porphyry and manto-style copper systems. Completed in December 2018.
-
������� : Contribute US$0.8 million by 31 March 2020 primarily for the purpose of undertaking initial diamond drilling to drill test the identified mineralized systems. Completed in September 2019.
-
������� : Contribute US$1.2 million by 31 March 2021 primarily for the purpose of undertaking a second phase diamond drilling to establish scale and continuity of an identified mineralized system.
-
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 those services.
-
JOGMEC has funded and completed Stage 2 in September 2019, and has approved and commenced Stage 3, funding a further US$435,000 before COVID shut down exploration activities.
-
� In October 2020, JOGMEC had advised it was withdrawing from the Samuel Project.
-
Funds received during the half-year amounted to $123,119 (30 June 2020: $1,231,113).
-
The Group has recognised an impairment expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the period for the remaining receivable balance of $114,466 as management has assessed the recoverability of the balance to be low due to COVID shut down and withdrawal of JOGMEC from the Samuel project.

To the members of Helix Resources Limited
����������������������������������������������������
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Helix Resources Limited (“the company”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration, for the Group comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Helix Resources Limited does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the financial report section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Responsibility of the directors for the financial report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the financial report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
