VANCOUVER, Feb. 6, 2018 /CNW/ - Helio Resource Corp ("Helio" or the "Company"; TSX-V: HRC) is pleased to announce that the TSX Venture Exchange has approved a consolidation of the Company's common shares (the "Shares") on the basis of one new Share for every 25 Shares currently issued and outstanding (the "Consolidation").

Instead, each fractional post-Consolidation Share remaining after conversion that is less than one-half of a post-Consolidation Share will be cancelled and each fractional post-Consolidation Share that is at least one-half of a post-Consolidation Share will be changed to one whole post-Consolidation Share.

The Company's options and warrants will also be adjusted on the same basis (25 for 1) as the Shares, with proportionate adjustments being made to exercise prices.
