PRESS RELEASE

Hellix Margarita HVM12-05 Drill Hole Check Assay Results
HELLIX VENTURES INC.
(HEL:TSX.V / HLLXF:OTC) -Vancouver, BC- Frank Underhill,
President, announces check assay results received from an independent assay
laboratory on Hole HVM12-05 from the drill program completed this year on its
Margarita gold project in southern Arizona.
Initial results on all twelve
holes were received from Skyline Laboratories in Tucson, Arizona and announced
on April 18, 2012.
The check assays were prompted by doubts expressed by Hellix technical
personnel at the lack of anomalous gold values from the original assays of Hole
HVM12-05 in which the split core showed strong similarities to the near surface
core from other holes drilled on the Main Margarita zone which returned higher
gold values.
The values in Table 1 below show one gold mineralized five foot interval of
Hole HVM12-05 from the initial testing of the core by Skyline.
The values in
Table 2 utilize check assays from ALS Minerals in Reno of the same hole showing
a twenty-five foot interval from surface averaging 3.70 grams gold per metric
tonne.

For the check assays, select pulp samples from HVM12-05 were shipped from
Skyline Laboratories in Tucson, Arizona directly to ALS Minerals in Reno,
Nevada by Skyline employees as requested by Hellix.
ALS Minerals in Reno,
Nevada (an ISO accredited lab) tested the pulps for gold via fire assay with
gravimetric finish.
Two standards and one blank were included for QA/QC
purposes.
The Company intends to re-assay select pulps from mineralized intersections on
all the holes by a third independent assay lab as an audit confirmation of the
originally reported assays.
Management is pleased with the results so far, particularly on the Main
Margarita zone.
As at this date, all holes in this zone show a minimum of
twenty feet of continuous anomalous gold at or near surface.
All results from
the latest check assays will be announced when received.
