Heliostar Drills 83.2m Grading 17.35 g/t Gold from 76.0m and Expands Program to 20,000m

Core Viewpoint - Heliostar Metals Ltd. is advancing its drilling program at the Ana Paula project in Guerrero, Mexico, aiming to convert inferred resources to higher confidence classifications and support an ongoing Feasibility Study [2][3]. Drilling Program - The company has completed 44 drill holes totaling 12,615 meters, with a focus on defining the High Grade Panel's east-west orientation [4]. - A change in drilling direction by approximately 90 degrees from historic intercepts has led to the discovery of more continuous and higher-grade gold mineralization [4]. Drill Results Summary - Significant drill results include: - Hole AP-25-334: 92.05 meters grading 4.33 grams per tonne (g/t) gold [6]. - Hole AP-25-336: intervals of 3.2 meters at 15.58 g/t, 65.15 meters at 5.39 g/t, and 43.55 meters at 4.66 g/t gold, with a notable 3.05 meters at 24.64 g/t gold [6]. - Hole AP-25-333: 83.2 meters grading 17.35 g/t gold, including 46.65 meters at 27.35 g/t gold [7]. Future Plans - The drilling program will be expanded by 33% to a total of 20,000 meters to allow for more infill and exploration drilling at Ana Paula [3]. - Additional studies, including a Prefeasibility Study for Cerro del Gallo, are planned for the current quarter [3]. Quality Assurance - Drill core samples are sent for analysis to certified laboratories, ensuring quality control through systematic insertion of control samples [18][19].
