Strategy The focus on copper-gold in the Cobar region with a balance between regional, target-generation work and work to grow existing resources represents a strategic shift from the Company’s earlier greater emphasis on gold exploration. This approach represents a more systematic, regional approach which I am pleased to say is yielding fruitful results. Helix has continued to prove up and develop a series of very interesting targets from the aerial VTEM survey throughout all of its tenements. Drilling at Canbelego demonstrated high- grade copper mineralisation such as 14m at 4.2% copper and potential for further extensions. Post year-end, the Company has started drilling at the CZ Project area including metallurgical sample holes and testing for extensions to the current CZ Mineral Resources. The Company has also consolidated its footprint around CZ, adding further highly prospective copper tenure (with additional nickel-cobalt optionality). We have established significant momentum and I am excited heading into the new financial year with a strategy emphasising ‘the right metals in the right neighbourhood’. Team The Board was delighted to welcome Mike Rosenstreich on board in early 2021 as Managing Director. He has wasted no time to review the Company’s legacy activities and accelerate current operations in the Cobar region. As part of our expanding operations, Mike has overseen the revitalisation of our exploration and discovery team, now based in Orange, NSW. This includes new leadership for the discovery team in Mr Gordon Barnes, who joined as Exploration Manager in May, contributing extensive NSW geological and operating experience. Helix has a completely new team spanning technical and financial management which has rejuvenated and energised the Company. The team has made significant strides especially when considering the challenges posed by lockdowns across NSW as a result of COVID-19. I would like to take this opportunity to express condolences on behalf of myself and the Board of Helix to all our stakeholders that have been affected. Regardless of these challenges, the Board and I look forward to working with Mike and his team as Helix heads into the new year at an exciting time. We hold two compelling opportunities at CZ and Canbelego and possess the team, capital and management experience to ensure we build the most value possible for our shareholders. I encourage everyone to watch Helix closely into the future as we continue to execute our strategy. Yours faithfully, Peter Lester Chairman 3 | P a g e Helix Resources Limited Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2021 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 1. OPERATIONS REPORT Helix Resources Limited (“Helix” or “the Company”) has been active on its mineral exploration projects located in central NSW and Chile. It also holds royalty interests over two advanced projects located in Australia. 2. OVERVIEW Helix is implementing a revised strategy from previous years to advance our asset portfolio, with a primary focus on our strategic commodities, copper, and gold. Through Pthe second half of the year with a new management team the Company is seeking to focus solely on its Cobar regional projects where it considers it can extract intrinsic value for the benefit of its shareholders from high grade copper and gold discoveries. In Chile, the Company is seeking to divest its early-stage copper projects. Similarly, the Company is seeking to commercialise its iron-ore focussed mineral production royalties. Regrettably, in the second half, several legacy management issues were uncovered which current management and Board are working to resolve. Helix holds a high-quality project portfolio in one of Australia’s best regions for recent mineral discoveries, the Cobar mining district in NSW. This district hosts long-lived operating mines (150 years of mining operations) and has excellent access to infrastructure. Helix is continuing to carry out targeted exploration programs to define further precious and base metal mineralisation to add to its established copper and gold resources in this highly prospective region. The Company’s primary assets consist of tenements covering what it terms the “Collerina, Rochford and Meryula” trends (see Figure 1). Figure 1: Helix Resources tenement map covering the Collerina, Rochford and Meryula trends 4 | P a g e Helix Resources Limited Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2021 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 3. ADVANCED EXPLORATION 3.1 Collerina Copper Trend During the year, conceptual modelling was completed at the Central Zone (CZ) Deposit1 (formerly referred to as the Collerina copper project2) which occurs along the regional scale Collerina trend. The modelling work was undertaken to provide a clearer understanding of how a potential CZ pit design may be influenced and constrained by the current Mineral Resource model and hence where additional drilling to extend mineralisation should be targeted (see Figure 2). Figure 2: Schematic 3D Long-Section (looking south) with copper drill intercepts, Central Zone Resource Envelope (yellow), Exploration Target Implicit Model (red-transparent), Conceptual Pit outline (blue-transparent). The findings of the modelling informed a nine-hole reverse-circulation (RC) drilling campaign which commenced in November 20203. Several drill hole locations were designed to test an additional 300 metres of strike of near-surface targets to a depth of 100 metres located northwest of the modelled pit location. The remaining holes were designed to test downhole and fixed loop EM conductors identified in the previous financial year. In many cases the drill holes failed to intersect the planned target zones and in retrospect better supervision and a more accurate drilling method such as diamond core should have been utilised to avoid the significant drill hole deviation that was encountered. The Company’s drilling has been based on a geological model controlled by an east-west crosscutting kink band structure interpreted to pass through this zone, which is being reviewed and updated. The thickened hinge zones of localised folds were considered to control the formation of thick high-grade copper sulphide accumulations such as is interpreted at the Collerina, CZ Mineral Resource1. The drilling of the shallow northwest targets intersected broad (>20 metre wide) zones of anomalous copper in three of the four holes4. Drill testing targeting the Northern Plunge Target Zone intersected copper sulphide mineralisation in all holes, unfortunately due to persistent deviation of the RC drill paths the conceptual Fold Hinge target was not intersected, and the results appear to indicate ‘near-misses’ on interpreted fold limb positions. 1 Refer Section 4 “Mineral Resource Estimates” 2 See ASX Announcement 28 September 2020 3 See ASX Announcement 25 November 2020 4 See ASX Announcement 15 February 2021 5 | P a g e Helix Resources Limited Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2021 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS All copper intercepts from this RC program surrounding the CZ Mineral Resource are presented in Table 1. These results, which overall are disappointing, led to a renewed program of detailed data collection and rigorous geological interpretations by the newly installed exploration team. This is an ongoing process, and the results will form the basis to plan the next phase of drilling in early FY22 which will be less constrained by the pre-existing geological model.

The region contains several historic high-grade copper deposits and includes the Canbelego Joint Venture (‘JV’) project – a 70% Helix Resources / 30% Aeris Resources JV with Helix being the manager. The Canbelego JV project has an Inferred Mineral Resource of 1.5Mt at 1.2% copper (refer Section 4 for details). Advanced Target Testing The Canbelego Copper JV has drilled five diamond drillholes (CANDD001 to CANDD005) for nearly 2,000 metres, since restarting exploration drilling around and beneath the Canbelego Mineral Resource in April 2021 after an 8-year exploration hiatus. This outline includes results received up to mid-September 2021. Copper mineralisation comprises disseminated and vein of copper sulphide (chalcopyrite) with occasional massive chalcopyrite zones such as intersected in CANDD002 which returned 14 metres at 4.2% copper (Figure 4). The sulphide copper mineralisation is typically associated with intensely folded and chlorite altered sediments. Oxide copper mineralisation, primarily malachite and azurite, is also present near surface. Table 2 presents a summary of the intersected copper grades5 at a range of cut-off grades and Figure 3 presents a long section of the Canbelego copper deposit showing the recent copper intercepts. In addition to drill results, the Company has undertaken downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveys in CANDD001, CANDD002 (Figure 5), CANDD003, and CANDD0056. All holes returned conductive anomalies, demonstrating the effectiveness of ‘electromagnetic’ surveys at the prospect scale to identify more massive high-grade copper shoots, such as in CANDD002 but also regionally as indicated by the VTEM survey results (refer Section 5) Work is ongoing to update the geological model based on the recent drill and geophysical data as well as review of the historical data with the aim of better resolving the geological controls on the higher-grade copper zones. The JV plans to workshop these updated concepts ahead of a further round of drilling. 5 See ASX Announcements: 15 April 2021, 3 May 2021, 12 May 2021, 31 May 2021, 23 June 2021, 21 July 2021 & 23 September 2021 6 See ASX Announcement: 3 June 2021 6 | P a g e Helix Resources Limited Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2021 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS Figure 3: Schematic long section of Canbelego Copper deposit showing recent assay results for CANDD001 to 5 Figure 4: Example of massive copper sulphide (chalcopyrite) in CANDD002 veins (118 metres) 7 | P a g e Helix Resources Limited Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2021 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS Table 2: Summary Assay Results for CANDD001 to CANDD005 at a range of copper cut-off grades Hole ID 0.1% Cut-off 1% Cut-off CANDD001 18m at 0.74% Cu from 263m 2m at 3.07% Cu from 277.8m 5m at 0.47% Cu from 110m - 1m at 1.39% Cu from 110m 2m at 2.99% Cu from 118m CANDD002 CANDD003 CANDD004 CANDD005 21m at 2.92% Cu from 345m 14m at 4.22% Cu from 352m 6m at 1.26% Cu from 286m 13m at 1.29% Cu from 295m 3.7m at 0.20% Cu from 255m 3m at 2.07% Cu from 288m 3m at 3.80% Cu from 303m 1m at 1.09% Cu from 307m - 5m at 1.56% Cu from 272m 1m at 6.98% Cu from 272.6m 7.1m at 0.64% Cu from 65.9m 1m at 0.81% Cu from 103m 1m at 2.53% Cu from 65.9m - 6m at 0.74% Cu from 108m 1m at 3.48% Cu from 108m 1m at 0.57% Cu from 384m 8m at 0.45% Cu from 429m 5m at 0.53% Cu from 442m 4m at 0.31% Cu from 454m 1m at 0.49% Cu from 469m - 1m at 1.51% Cu from 429m 1m at 1.3% Cu from 442m - - 3% Cut-off 1m at 3.5% Cu from 277.8m - 1m at 3.92m from 118m 3m at 7.01% Cu from 352m 4m at 5.94% Cu from 358m - 2m at 4.71% Cu from 304m - 1m at 6.98% Cu from 272.6m - - 1m at 3.48% Cu from 108m - - - - - Figure 5: DHEM modelled conductor plates from CANDD002 8 | P a g e Helix Resources Limited Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2021 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS Early Stage Targets In late 2020 the Company completed its first RC drilling within the Rochford trend targeting the Bijoux prospect, located SSE from the Canbelego JV area (refer Figure 1). Four scout RC holes were completed at Bijoux with the two southern holes returning broad zones of copper in pXRF readings. In December 2020 initial 4 metre composite sample laboratory results returned7:  BJRC003 24 metres at 0.24% Cu from 10 metres following-up pXRF readings of 38 metres at 0.22% Cu from surface (peak reading of 0.54% Cu)  BJRC004 12 metres at 0.18% Cu from 14 metres following-up pXRF readings of 33 metres at 0.13% Cu from 4 metres (peak reading of 0.50% Cu) Gold results from these holes were delayed by laboratory constraints and reported in February 20218. Zones of near-surface gold anomalism were returned from the 4 metre composite samples in three of the four holes. These early-stage copper results are highly encouraging and will be followed up in FY22. The best gold result was 4 metres at 0.2g/t Au from surface in BJRC004 in heavily weathered sediments. A Moving Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM) Survey covering the southern half (600 metres of strike) of the Bijoux Prospect was also conducted during the period. A partially defined NW trending EM response has been identified, which remains open to the north. The MLEM survey will be extended to the north in FY22. This target position is coincident with historic, broad-spaced copper in auger-soil anomalies, significant early-stage RC copper results and a northwest trending magnetic feature. This target position is open to the northwest, southeast and represents a highly prospective copper target. 3.3 Restdown Gold Project The Restdown Gold Project hosts regionally significant structures prospective for gold mineralisation, typified by the historic Battery Tank gold field. The geological and structural setting is analogous to the nearby multiple-mine Peak Trend (over 4- million-ounce gold endowment). In 2011, Helix delineated a small Inferred Mineral Resource of 3.8Mt at 1.0 g/t gold containing 118,000 ounce of gold (refer figure 6 and Section 4). Figure 6: Regional setting of the Restdown Gold Project 7 See ASX Announcement 23 December 2020 8 See ASX Announcement 15 February 2021 9 | P a g e Helix Resources Limited Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2021 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS In October 2020, Helix received assays from 13 drill holes with significant intercepts including9: Link Zone – 5 metres at 1.3 g/t Au (incl 1 metre at 2.4g/t Au) from 25 metres   Reward – 3 metres at 1.2 g/t Au (incl 1 metre at 3.2g/t Au) from 18 metres  Amity’s – 1 metre at 1.4g/t Au from 93 metres  Battery Tank North – 2 metres at 1.0 g/t Au from 15 metres A follow-up drill campaign comprising 15 RC drillholes for 1,768 metres was conducted at seven new, nearby prospects. The objective of the second phase of this program was to test for evidence of bedrock gold mineralisation beneath previously untested geochemical and structural gold targets that included numerous old workings. Gold assays for preliminary, 4 metre composite samples, were received and for several of the targets confirm the potential for gold mineralised systems. Of the 15 holes drilled in phase 2 of the program, 10 returned anomalous gold of greater than 4 metres at 0.1g/t Au10. The Company is undertaking a thorough review of all its historical data which is planned for completion late 2021. In the district, these deposits are generally high-grade, with small ‘footprints’ but can persist to great depths (>2,000 metres vertically), so they are very attractive targets albeit difficult to find without strong geological targeting vectors – which the Company will seek to identify ahead of any further drilling. 4. MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES 4.1 CZ Mineral Resource A mineral resource compliant with the 2012 JORC Code for the CZ deposit is summarised in Table 3 below. It is a high-grade copper discovery made by Helix in late 2016 along the Collerina Trend.

REGIONAL SCALE EXPLORATION The Company has approximately 1,300km2 of tenure in the Cobar region which covers an estimated 120km of prospective mineralised trends. The 2021 exploration strategy aims to generate a ‘pipeline’ of new prospects to assess for advancing to resource delineation work to add to the existing Mineral Resource inventory (Section 4). The key targeting tools in the district comprise electromagnetic (EM) surveys and geochemistry underpinned by sound geological maps and interpretations. Therefore, as part of the new exploration strategy, the Company’s immediate focus was to fly an aerial EM survey over the remaining 80% of prospective trends with no EM coverage. In the following year this will be followed up with widespread multi- element geochemical sampling with major portions of Helix’s tenure having had no effective (geophysical or geochemical) prior coverage. In February 2021, the Company commenced a regional scale, detailed airborne electromagnetic survey across its Cobar region copper projects. As shown in Figure 1, only approximately 20% of the prospective trends had regional scale EM coverage (denoted 2017 VTEM survey). A total program of approximately 2,300 line-kilometres utilising the VTEM MAXTM system was completed (Figure 7). Regional EM surveys have proven very successful in the Cobar region at identifying sulphide-mineral, copper deposits. Figure 7: VTEM MAXTM system in flight (Photo – Geotech) 12 | P a g e Helix Resources Limited Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2021 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS Results of the airborne survey were reported in March 2021, with the Company identifying 24 high priority copper targets along the combined 120km of prospective copper trends11. Highlights for the three regional scale copper trends tested, include:  Collerina Trend – Eight high-priority targets identified. Extensions indicated to the immediate north and south of the CZ deposit, as well as high confidence EM conductors to the north at Quanda which is in a similar trend as Aeris’ high-grade Kurrajong and Constellation discoveries. Also, distinct subtle conductors at Fiveways are present south of CZ, which is on strike from the Tottenham copper deposits and has no surface geochemical coverage.  Rochford Trend – Ten high-priority targets identified. Significant EM anomalies highlighting potential extensions of the Canbelego deposit to the north, south and east, discrete high confidence EM anomalies in the north near the historical Boppy Broken Hill copper workings – as well as reinforcing the potential of both the Cabellero and Bijoux prospects.  Meryula Trend – Six high priority targets identified. Strong, discrete EM anomalies highlighting prospective stratigraphy and structural sites, supported by sparse geochemical data and historical copper (+ lead and zinc) workings. 6. CHILE PROJECTS The Company owns 100% of 3 highly prospective early-stage copper (and gold) projects in an accessible, low-elevation area in Chile. These comprise:  Blanco Y Negro: a historical mine with an Inferred Mineral Resource of 1.5 mt at 1.4% Cu and 0.5 g/t Au (refer Section 4.4);   Joshua Copper Porphyry: several large-scale copper targets defined by geophysics and drilling including 352 metres at 0.27% Cu, 240 metres at 0.22% Cu and 400 metres at 0.25% Cu2; and Samuel Project: large scale copper target defined by geophysics and early-stage drilling. To maintain a focus on its Cobar region assets, Helix is exploring opportunities to attract outside, project level investment into this highly endowed copper province. To facilitate this, the Company has recently addressed various legacy creditor and concession matters which are now largely resolved. 7. COVID-19 The implications and risks to all Helix’s stakeholders from the Coronavirus has continued to dominate the way the Company has operated through the current reporting period. Helix has continued to adapt its activities and to monitor and mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 such as safety and health measures in line with government guidelines. There remains significant uncertainty around the impact and duration of business disruptions in Australia in general for the 2022 financial year which may or may not affect the Company’s exploration activities. 8. MINERAL ROYALTIES Helix holds two iron ore focused mineral production royalties arising from historic joint venture and divestment transactions:  Yalleen Royalty: is a 1.0% FOB royalty on all iron ore production from the former Yalleen Iron Ore Project JV located in the west Pilbara region of Western Australia (as well as a 1.0% NSR royalty on precious and base metals production). These royalty interests arose following execution of a Sale Agreement with API Management Pty Ltd, Aquilla Steel Pty Ltd and AMC (IO) Pty Ltd (the later two are owned by POSCO and Bao Steel respectively), announced in January 2018. Further background to its Royalty interests is available in the ASX report “Helix Sells Yalleen Iron Ore Interests for Cash & Royalties” 15 January 2018 and on the API Management website; https://www.apijv.com.au/.  Olary Royalty: is a 1% FOB royalty on all iron ore products produced and sold from EL6115 located in the Braemar Iron Province of South Australia which hosts magnetite iron mineralisation. The EL is a core component of Lodestone Mines Limited’s Olary Flats Project. Lodestone and Helix have recently refreshed the original Royalty Deed which was executed in January 2013.

Each Director excludes themselves from matters in which they have a personal interest and Mr Timothy Kennedy chairs such discussions. The Board (operating under the formal charter of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee) is responsible for reviewing and recommending the remuneration arrangements for the Executive and Non-Executive Directors and KMP each year in accordance with the Company’s remuneration policy approved by the Board. This includes an annual remuneration review and performance appraisal for the Managing Director and other executives, including their base salary, short and long-term incentives, bonuses, superannuation, termination payments and service contracts. Further information relating to the role of the Nomination & Remuneration Committee, which is assumed by the Board, can be found within the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website, www.helixresources.com.au. Overall Remuneration Framework The Board recognises that the Company’s performance and ultimate success in project delivery depends very much on its ability to attract and retain highly skilled, qualified and motivated people. At the same time, remuneration practices must be transparent to shareholders and be fair and competitive taking into account the nature, complexity and size of the organisation. The approach to remuneration has been structured with the following objectives: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● To attract and retain a highly skilled executive team who are motivated and rewarded for successfully delivering the short and long-term objectives of the Company, including successful project delivery; To link remuneration with performance, based on long-term objectives and shareholder return, as well as critical short-term objectives which are aligned with the Company’s business strategy; To set clear goals and reward performance for successful project development in a way which is sustainable, including in respect of health & safety, environment, good corporate governance and community based objectives; To be fair and competitive in the market; To preserve cash where necessary for exploration, by having the flexibility to attract, reward or remunerate executives with an appropriate mix of equity based incentives; To reward individual performance and group performance - thus promoting a balance of individual performance and teamwork across the executive management team and the organisation To have flexibility in the mix of remuneration, including offering a balance of conservative LTI instruments such as options and performance rights to ensure executives are rewarded for their efforts, but also share in the upside of the Company’s growth and are not adversely affected by tax consequences. The remuneration framework provides a mix of fixed and variable “at risk” remuneration and a blend of short and long-term incentives. The remuneration for executives has three components and comprise each executive's total annual remuneration: ● ● ● Fixed remuneration, inclusive of superannuation and allowances; STIs under a performance based cash bonus incentive plan; and LTIs through participation in the Company’s shareholder approved equity incentive plan. These three components comprise each executive’s total annual remuneration. 21 | P a g e Helix Resources Limited Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2021 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Executive Remuneration All executives receive a fixed base cash salary and other associated benefits. All executives also receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by Australian legislation, which was 9.5%. No executives receive any retirement benefits. Fixed remuneration of executives is set by the Board each year and is based on market relativity and individual performance. In setting fixed remuneration for executives, individual performance, skills, expertise and experience are taken into account to determine where the executive’s remuneration should sit within the market range. Where appropriate, external remuneration consultants will be engaged to assist the Board to ensure that fixed remuneration is set to be consistent with market practices for similar roles. Fixed remuneration for executives are reviewed annually to ensure each executive’s remuneration remains fair and competitive. However, there is no guarantee that fixed remuneration will be increased in any service contracts for executives. Short Term Incentives The Managing Director and other executives were eligible to earn short-term cash bonuses upon achievement of significant performance based outcomes aligned with the Company’s strategic objectives at that time. These performance based outcomes are considered to be an appropriate link between executive remuneration and the potential for creation of shareholder wealth. Given market conditions for exploration companies, no short-term incentives were paid during the year. Long Term Incentives LTI awards are generally limited to Directors, executives, and other key employees approved by the Board who influence or drive the strategic direction of the Company. 7,000,000 performance options were issued to the Managing Director during the year as set out below (2020: nil).

All options issued carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercised, each option is converted into one ordinary share pari passu with existing ordinary shares. Non-Executive Remuneration The policy of the Board is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors in the form of Directors’ fees at market rates for comparable companies based on their time, commitment and responsibilities. Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Company to maintain independence and impartiality. In determining competitive remuneration rates, the Board have historically reviewed local trends among comparative companies and the industry generally. Non-Executive Director fees are also determined within an aggregate fee pool which is subject to approval by shareholders. The aggregate fee pool is currently set at $150,000 per annum which was last approved at the Annual General Meeting in April 2006. As at the date of this report the level of total Non-Executive Director remuneration actually paid remains below the maximum amount approved to be paid. Details of Remuneration Salaries and fees paid do not include any superannuation payments. The Company does not pay retirement allowances to Non- Executive Directors in line with ASX Corporate Governance Recommendations. 22 | P a g e Helix Resources Limited Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2021 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Primary benefits Annual and Long Service Leave Provision $ Non- Monetary Benefits $ Salary & Fees $ 2021 Post Employment Equity Superannuation $ Options $ Performance Rights* $ Total $ P Lester1 J Macdonald T Kennedy M Rosenstreich2 M Wilson3 50,228 36,530 36,530 82,292 193,636 - - - 12,608 (72,484) 399,216 (59,876) - - - - - - 4,772 3,470 3,470 7,818 18,395 37,925 - - - - - - - - - 22,937 - 55,000 40,000 40,000 125,655 139,547 22,937 400,202 1Mr P Lester was appointed as Executive Chairman on 13 March 2020 and transitioned to Non-Executive Chairman on 11 January 2021. 2Mr M Rosenstreich was appointed on 11 January 2021. 3Mr M Wilson was appointed as General Manager - Geology on 12 March 2020 and resigned on 22 June 2021. % - - - 18.25% - *The performance rights include market based vesting conditions and therefore can only be exercised on the satisfaction of the vesting conditions.

Use of Remuneration Consultants During the year ended 30 June 2021, whilst the Board did not engage the formal services of external remuneration consultants, it did hold informal discussions with such consultants. In addition, the Board utilised publicly available remuneration benchmarking surveys prepared by an international recruitment agency. Voting and comments made at the Company’s last Annual General Meeting A total of 82.75% of votes determined via a poll at the Company’s 2020 Annual General Meeting on the resolution dealing with the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 were cast in favour of the resolution. The resolution was passed by the required 75% majority. There was no specific feedback at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the Remuneration Report. This concludes the remuneration report, which has been audited. Officers’ Indemnity and Insurance During the year the Company paid an insurance premium to insure the Directors and Officers of the Company and related bodies corporate. The Officers of the Company covered by the insurance policy include the Directors named in this report. The Directors’ and Officers’ Liability insurance provides cover against all costs and expenses that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that fall within the scope of the indemnity and that may be brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of the Company or a related body corporate. The insurance policy does not contain details of the premium paid in respect of individual officers of the Company. Disclosure of the nature of the liability cover and the amount of the premium is subject to a confidentiality clause under the insurance policy. The Company has entered into an agreement with the Directors and Officers to indemnify them against any claim and related expenses, which arise as a result of work completed in their respective capacities. The Company has not otherwise, during or since the financial year indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or auditor of the Company or of any related body corporate against a liability incurred as such an officer or auditor. Environmental regulations The Group is subject to environmental regulations under laws of the Commonwealth and State. The Group has a policy of complying with its environmental performance obligations. a number of aircore drillholes may have been drilled in early 2018 without all requisite statutory approvals; there were other potential non-compliances in relation to rehabilitation work required at a historical drill site; and that Landholder compensation payments were in arrears. On and from 6 September 2021 the Company became aware that: ● ● ● Helix ‘self-reported’ the above suspected breaches to the NSW Resources Regulator. The Company is committed to co-operating fully with the Regulator and any investigation deemed necessary by the Regulator. As at 30 June 2021, no provision has been recognised and no contingent liability disclosed in relation to the suspected breaches as the matter is still under investigation with the NSW Resources Regulator and the outcome as yet cannot reasonably be determined by management. A preliminary risk assessment completed by the Company indicates there are no other regulatory breaches associated with its operations. Pending the outcome of any possible investigation by the Regulator, Helix has taken active steps to verify that rehabilitation was completed for the unpermitted drillholes, recompense the Landholders in respect of outstanding amounts and has commenced rehabilitation of the identified historical drill site. These non-compliance event occurred prior to the appointment of the majority of the current Directors and prior to the new 25 | P a g e Helix Resources Limited Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2021 DIRECTORS’ REPORT management team that was appointed in 2021. The Board has now satisfied themselves that appropriate compliance measures and a suitably experienced team are in place to ensure that these type of events cannot occur in the future.

Summary of accounting policies Financial Reporting Framework The financial report is a general-purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and complies with other requirements of the law. The financial report includes financial statements for Helix Resources Limited as the Consolidated Entity (“Group”) consisting of Helix Resources Limited (“Helix” or “the Company”) and its controlled entities. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes. Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Accounting policies Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. Historical cost convention These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified where applicable by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss, certain classes of plant and equipment. A summary of the Group’s significant accounting policies is set out below. a) Principles of Consolidation The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2021. The Company controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 30 June. All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a group perspective. Balances of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group. Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable. b) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash on hand and in banks and short term deposits are stated at nominal value. For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes cash on hand and in banks, and money market investments readily convertible to cash within 90 days. c) Income Tax The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in subsidiaries where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity. 34 | P a g e Helix Resources Limited Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2021 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Summary of accounting policies (continued) d) Plant and Equipment Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: Plant and equipment: - Straight line 10% - 33% - Diminishing Value 20% - 40% Motor Vehicles: - Diminishing Value 22.5% De-recognition and disposal An item of plant and equipment is derecognised on disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on the de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised. e) Exploration and Evaluation Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Ultimate recoupment of these costs is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale, of the respective areas of interest. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made. When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest. f) Leases The Group adopted AASB 16 on 1 July 2019. For any new contracts entered into on or after 1 July 2019, the Group considers whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A lease is defined as ‘a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset (the underlying asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration’. To apply this definition the Group assesses whether the contract meets three key evaluations which are whether: ● ● ● The contract contains an identified asset, which is either explicitly identified in the contract or implicitly specified by being identified at the time the asset is made available to the Group. The Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset throughout the period of use, considering its rights within the defined scope of the contract. The Group has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. The Group assess whether it has the right to direct ‘how and for what purpose’ the asset is used throughout the period of use. 35 | P a g e Helix Resources Limited Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2021 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Summary of accounting policies (continued) Measurement and recognition of leases as a lessee At lease commencement date, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the statement of financial position. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which is made up of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any initial direct costs incurred by the Group, an estimate of any costs to dismantle and remove the asset at the end of the lease, and any lease payments made in advance of the lease commencement date (net of any incentives received). The Group depreciates the right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The Group also assesses the right-of-use asset for impairment when such indicators exist. At the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments unpaid at that date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate is readily available or the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are made up of fixed payments (including in substance fixed), variable payments based on an index or rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and payments arising from options reasonably certain to be exercised. Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability will be reduced for payments made and increased for interest. It is remeasured to reflect any reassessment or modification, or if there are changes in in substance fixed payments. When the lease liability is remeasured, the corresponding adjustment is reflected in the right-of-use asset, or profit and loss if the right-of-use asset is already reduced to zero. The Group has elected to account for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets using the practical expedients. Instead of recognising a right-of-use asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to these are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. On the statement of financial position, right-of-use assets have been included in property, plant and equipment (except those meeting the definition of investment property) and lease liabilities have been included in trade and other payables. g) Financial Instruments Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument and are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured initially at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires. Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable). For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition: • Amortised cost • Fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) • Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) • Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses. Classifications are determined by both: • The entities business model for managing the financial asset • The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets 36 | P a g e Helix Resources Limited Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2021 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Summary of accounting policies (continued) Financial assets at amortised cost Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVPL): • They are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows • The contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments as well as security deposits that were previously classified as held-to-maturity under AASB 139. There are no FVPL and FVOCI instruments for the Group. Impairment of financial assets AASB 9’s impairment requirements use more forward-looking information to recognize expected credit losses – the ‘expected credit losses (ECL) model’. Instruments within the scope of the requirements included loans and other debt-type financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI, trade receivables, contract assets recognised and measured under AASB 15 and loan commitments and some financial guarantee contracts (for the issuer) that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. The Group considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument. In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between: • Financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk (‘Stage 1’) and • Financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low (‘Stage 2’). ‘Stage 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. ‘12-month expected credit losses’ are recognised for the first category while ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ are recognised for the second category. Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument. Trade and other receivables The Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables and records the loss allowance at the amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. In using this practical expedient, the Group uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix. Classification and measurement of financial liabilities The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Group designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss (other than derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective as hedging instruments). All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included within finance costs or finance income. h) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets Non-financial assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). 37 | P a g e Helix Resources Limited Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2021 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Summary of accounting policies (continued) i) Employee Benefits Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably. Provision is made in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and other employee benefits expected to be settled wholly within 12 months, are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. Provision made in respect of long service leave which is not expected to be settled within 12 months is measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by the employees up to reporting date. Share-based payments Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via various Share Option Plans. The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the non-tradable nature of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option. Performance options are valued by independent experts using a barrier up-and-in trinomial option pricing model with a Parisian barrier adjustment. The fair value of the options granted excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. At each reporting date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. Upon the exercise of options, the balance of the share-based payments reserve relating to those options is transferred to share capital. The market value of shares issued to employees for no cash consideration under the Share Plans is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity when the employees become entitled to the shares. j) Interest in Joint Venture Operations Associates are those entities over which the Group is able to exert significant influence but which are not subsidiaries. A joint venture is an arrangement that the Group controls jointly with one or more other investors, and over which the Group has rights to a share of the arrangement’s net assets rather than direct rights to underlying assets and obligations for underlying liabilities. A joint arrangement in which the Group has direct rights to underlying assets and obligations for underlying liabilities is classified as a joint operation. Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Interests in joint operations are accounted for by recognising the Group’s assets (including its share of any assets held jointly), its liabilities (including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly), its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation, its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation and its expenses (including its share of any expenses incurred jointly). Any goodwill or fair value adjustment attributable to the Group’s share in the associate or joint venture is not recognised separately and is included in the amount recognised as investment. The carrying amount of the investment in associates and joint ventures is increased or decreased to recognise the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate and joint venture, adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies of the Group. Unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in those entities. Where unrealised losses are eliminated, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment. Details of interests in joint ventures are shown at Note 25 . 38 | P a g e Helix Resources Limited Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2021 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Summary of accounting policies (continued) k) Revenue Income from the disposal of assets is recognised when the Group has passed control of the goods or other assets to the buyer. Interest on bank deposits is recognised as income as it accrues. Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent in the instrument and is net of GST. Other income is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. l) Goods and Services Tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax GST), except: • where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or • for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority. m) Fair Value Estimation The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price; the appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current ask price. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each reporting date. Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used for long-term debt instruments held. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments. The nominal value less estimated credit adjustments of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments. n) Provisions Mine restoration and rehabilitation costs are provided for at the present value of future expected expenditures required to settle the Group’s obligations on commencement of commercial production, discounted using a rate specified to the liability. When this provision is recognised a corresponding asset is also recognised as part of the development costs of the mine to the extent that it is considered that the provision gives access to future economic benefits. On an ongoing basis, the rehabilitation liability is re-measured at each reporting period in line with the changes in the time value of money (recognised as an expense in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and an increase in the provision), and additional disturbances or changes in rehabilitation costs will be recognised as additions or changes to the corresponding asset and rehabilitation liability. o) Foreign Currency Translation Functional and Presentation Currency The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars (AUD), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the respective Group entity, using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions (spot exchange rate). Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of 39 | P a g e Helix Resources Limited Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2021 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Summary of accounting policies (continued) such transactions and from the re-measurement of monetary items at year end exchange rates are recognised in profit or loss. Non- monetary items are not retranslated at year-end and are measured at historical cost (translated using the exchange rates at the date of the transaction), except for non-monetary items measured at fair value which are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined. p) Operating Segment Operating segments are presented using the ‘management approach’ where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’) who are the Board of Directors. The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance. q) Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale Non-current assets and assets of disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continued use. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs of disposal. For non-current assets or assets of disposal groups to be classified as held for sale, they must be available for immediate sale in their present condition and their sale must be highly probable. An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write down of the non-current assets and assets of disposal groups to fair value less costs of disposal. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs of disposal of a non-current assets and assets of disposal groups, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. r) New or amended Accounting Standards adopted by the Group The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. s) Critical Accounting Estimates and Other Accounting Judgements Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the application of the Australian Accounting Standards, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the year of the revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years. The Group is of the view that there are no critical accounting estimates and judgements in this financial report, other than accounting estimates and judgements in relation to the following: Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure The Group capitalises expenditure relating to exploration and evaluation where it is considered likely to be recoverable or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of resources or reserves. Refer to Note 4 for further details on exploration and evaluation expenditure. Fair Value of Options Issued Management apply valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments where active market quotes are not available. This requires management to develop estimates and assumptions based on market inputs, using observable data that market participants would use in pricing the instrument. Where such data is not observable, management uses its best estimate. Estimated fair values of financial instruments may vary from the actual prices that would be achieved in an arm’s length transaction at the reporting date. Refer to Note 12 for details of options on issue. 40 | P a g e Helix Resources Limited Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2021 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Summary of accounting policies (continued) Lease term The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Judgement is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease or purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease commencement date. Factors considered may include the importance of the asset to the consolidated entity's operations; comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. The consolidated entity reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances. Refer to Note 10 for details on lease liabilities. Incremental borrowing rate Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is based on what the consolidated entity estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment. Refer to Note 10 for details on interest on lease liabilities. t) Going concern These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Directors are satisfied the Company is a going concern, whilst it incurred a loss after income tax for the year ended 30 June 2021 of $1,169,550, it had a net asset position of $17,303,165 and a cash balance of $5,389,903 as at 30 June 2021. The Company has the ability to reduce forecast expenditure if required and it is anticipated that additional capital can be raised in the future if required. Note 2. Cash and cash equivalents a) Reconciliation of Cash For the purposes of the statement of cash flows and statement of financial position, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks, and investments in money market instruments, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Cash at the end of the financial year as shown in the statement of cash flows is reconciled to the related items in the statement of financial position as follows: Current assets Cash at bank Cash on hand Consolidated 2021 $ 2020 $ 5,389,903 - 155,276 80 5,389,903 155,356 Cash on hand is non-interest bearing.

The ultimate value of these assets is dependent upon recoupment by commercial development or the sale of the whole, or part, of the Group's interests in those areas for an amount at least equal to the carrying value. There may exist, on the Group’s exploration properties, areas subject to claim under native title or containing sacred sites or sites of significance to Aboriginal people. As a result, exploration properties or areas within the tenements may be subject to exploration and mining restrictions. As a result of the assessment of the economic recoverability of certain tenements, no provision for impairment was required (2020: $nil) against the carrying value of its exploration and evaluation expenditure.

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 the lease payments, using an incremental borrowing rate of 6.11%. Note 8.

Capital Management Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maximise the return to shareholders and ensure that the group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern. Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing the Group’s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of expenditure and debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share and option issues. There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Group since the prior year. 47 | P a g e Helix Resources Limited Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2021 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 12.

This decision was taken in line with the Group’s strategy to focus on its core Australian projects in the Cobar region of NSW. Accordingly all assets and liabilities associated with the projects in Chile are presented as a disposal group held for sale. Revenue and expenses relating to the divestment of the interest in these projects have been reclassified from profit or loss from the Group’s continuing operations and are shown as a single line item in the statement of profit or loss. 2021 exploration expenses outlined below relate largely to money owed from the 2019 field activities which previous management was unaware of.

On 4 August 2021, the Company announced it had issued 6,000,000 performance options to employees of the Company. On 2 September 20201, the Company announced it had entered into a binding offer letter with Alpha HPA Ltd (‘Alpha HPA’) to acquire a new tenement (EL8703) prospective for copper/base metals adjacent to its Collerina tenements. As part of the transaction, Helix will extinguish all ‘deemed’ joint venture rights over tenement EL8768 as well as reduce the Helix royalty by 0.5% NSR, whereby Alpha HPA will retain a 1.0% NSR Royalty on all metals from the former joint venture and newly acquired tenements.

Financial Risk Exposures and Management The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The Board is responsible for the financial risk management Interest Rate Risk Sensitivity Analysis At 30 June 2021, the effect on loss and equity as a result of 100 basis points (decrease of 100 basis points) in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant would be an increase (decrease) in loss by $52,942 (2020: $2,018) and an increase (decrease) in equity by $52,942 (2020: $2,018).

The Group is exposed to currency exposures to the United States Dollar and Chilean Pesos. The Group has not formalised a foreign currency risk management policy, however it monitors its foreign currency expenditure subject to exchange rate movements and retains the right to withdraw from the foreign exploration commitments after minimum expenditure targets have been met. The Group’s exposures to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period were as follows: Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other payables 2021 CLP 2020 CLP 3,887,275 (6,748,105) (2,860,830) 73,027 (308,606) (235,579) Liquidity Risk The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that sufficient cash and financial assets are available to meet the current and future commitments of the Group. The Group’s operations require it to raise capital on an on-going basis to fund its planned exploration program and to commercialise its tenement assets. If the Group does not raise capital in the short term, it can continue as a going concern by reducing planned but not committed exploration expenditure until funding is available and/or entering into joint venture arrangements where exploration is funded by the joint venture partner. Credit Risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted the policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. All cash and cash equivalents are held with financial institutions with a credit rating of AA3 or above. The Group measures risk on a fair value basis. The maximum credit risk on financial assets of the Group which have been recognised on the statement of financial position, other than investments in shares, is generally the carrying amount, net of any provisions for doubtful debts. 57 | P a g e Helix Resources Limited Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2021 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 27.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group 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 (“the Code”) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. 60 | P a g e Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Exploration and evaluation Refer to note 4 In accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, the Group capitalises all exploration and evaluation expenditure, including acquisition costs and subsequently applies the cost model after recognition. Our audit focused on the Group’s assessment of the carrying amount of the capitalised exploration and evaluation asset, as this is one of the most significant assets of the Group. We planned our work to address the audit risk that the capitalised expenditure may no longer meet the recognition criteria of the standard. In addition, we considered it necessary to assess whether facts and circumstances existed which suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. Our procedures included but were not limited to the following: • We obtained an understanding of the key processes associated with management’s review of the carrying values of each area of interest; • We considered management’s assessment of potential indicators of impairment; • We obtained evidence that the Group has current rights to tenure of its areas of interest; • We examined the exploration budget for the year ending 30 June 2022 and discussed with management the nature of planned ongoing activities; • We enquired with management, reviewed ASX announcements and reviewed minutes of Directors’ meetings to ensure that the Group had not resolved to discontinue exploration and evaluation at any of its areas of interest; and • We examined the disclosures made in the financial report. Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s financial report for the year ended 30 June 2021 but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the 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 financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 61 | P a g e Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: - Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. - - - Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. - We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. 62| P a g e Report on the Remuneration Report Opinion on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included within the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2021.
