The Company considers that the announcement contains a number of inaccuracies and mischaracterisations which have previously been raised with Canex. Helix maintains that it has entered into valid and binding agreements with Gold Basin, the Joint Venture has been properly established in accordance with those agreements, and is in compliance with ASX Chapter 10 (Transactions with persons in a position of influence).
