Geological model – proving up Extensions to high grade resource – current thinking:
-
High-grade CZ shoot defined by north-east plunging fold axis
-
Geological modelling based on drill intercepts and modelling of EM[1] data has identified possible parallel plunging shoots – referred to ‘Fold Hinge geological model’
-
Recent drilling results - add further support to that model:
-
1m at 1.0% Cu (CORC124) and 1m at 1.0% Cu (CORC125) in semi-massive chalcopyrite on flank of Northern Fold Hinge shoot
-
Next steps:

2021 WORK PROGRAM
Accelerated work program for 2021
COPPER
Discover, grow and advance
copper resources into prefeasibility study
-
Infill and extensional drilling of CZ and Canbelego copper resources[1]
-
Large scale geophysical surveys; EM data is a critical discovery tool. Extend coverage of regional scale Rochford and Collerina trends
-
Major drill programs – both diamond core and RC to systematically test prospects and targets
-
Ongoing auger soil programs (HLX owned rig) to define and refine targets
-
Metallurgical test work
-
Move forward on development studies
GOLD
-
Detailed review of results to vector into potential high-grade positions
-
Geochemical sampling and mapping to better understand and prioritise the numerous gold targets
CHILE
- Asset rationalisation – pursue JV or divestment opportunities

INVESTMENT SUMMARY
Key Value Drivers
DISCOVERY
Motivated, experienced reinvigorated team to deliver results through 2021
-
Existing high-grade copper resources – opportunities for major growth by extensional drilling
-
Large scale prospective regional trends with emerging new copper prospects with little or no drilling – add value through systematic targeting and aggressive follow-up drilling
-
Geophysical (EM) surveys ‘find copper’ in the Cobar region; positive results will generate drilling targets
A ‘big bold’ approach to make discoveries, grow resources and have the regional scale knowledge to rank and prioritise targets to optimise effort and expenditure DEVELOPMENT
-
Initiate mine development studies – metallurgy, mining assessments and permitting process – ‘demonstrate a path to development’
-
Look regionally for growth opportunities to consolidate exploration and development opportunities
More than exploration; on pathway of development and growth CORPORATE
- Strengthen share register and funding situation
==> picture [91 x 41] intentionally omitted <==
- Improve shareholder communications
Attract and retain shareholders….. ‘get folks talking about Helix’
