VANCOUVER, April 28, 2015 /CNW/ - Helio Resource Corp (TSX-V: HRC), ("Helio" or the "Company") reports that it has filed on SEDAR the NI 43-101 Report for the mineral resource estimate for its SMP Gold Project, Tanzania (see Company news release dated March 26, 2015 for full details). The report was compiled by Snowden Mining Industry Consultants ("Snowden").

Highlights

• The total Indicated Resource is 7.5 million tonnes ("Mt") grading 2.4 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold (Au) for 590,000 ounces (oz) Au contained.
  
  
• This can be broken down into 5.9 Mt grading 1.8 g/t Au for 332,000 oz inside a pit constrained shell at US$1,400/oz gold price and 1.6 Mt grading 4.9 g/t for 258,000 ounces of potentially underground mineable material.
  
  
• The total Inferred Resource is 0.56 Mt at 2.5 g/t Au containing 45,000 oz Au in the same pit constrained shell and underground configurations.
  
  
• The higher-grade underground resource bodies are all open at depth.
  
  
• The new high-grade zones at Gap encourage further follow-up, especially the western shoot, which returned an intercept of 4m grading 30 g/t Au (see news release dated January 29, 2015).
