Perth - Helix Resources (ASX:HLX) is pleased to advise that drilling has commenced at the Collerina Copper Project, NSW.

- Reverse Circulation (RC) Drilling has commenced at the Collerina Copper Project, NSW.

- The drill program consists of 22 planned holes testing the following:

o Previously un-tested areas, including newly interpreted potential extensions and faulted repeats of the massive sulphide zone at the Collerina Deposit.

o The untested western extension of the Collerina Deposit, targeting copper in soil anomalism and geological targets.

o Three regional VTEM targets being Tindalls, Yathella and Max's Folly Prospects where EM anomalies are associated with untested historic copper workings.

Collerina Copper Project - Background

The Collerina Copper Project is located in a regionally significant VMS belt in central NSW. The Project is located between the Tritton-Girilambone mining camp situated to the north and the historic Tottenham mining camp to the south. The trend is prospective for copper, with associated zinc, silver and gold mineralisation hosted in a mixed sedimentary and vocanoclastic sequence within the Girilambone Basin.

At the Collerina Deposit, drilling to date has confirmed the presence of copper mineralisation from surface to a vertical depth of 350m along the main mineralised zone. Both the strike and plunge of the system remain open.

The Collerina tenement covers a 25km long portion of the copper prospective trend, which extends into Helix's regional tenement holdings, covering an additional 80km's of copper prospective strike.

The project is close to infrastructure, including the nearby Aeris operated Tritton Mine and associated deposits to the north.
