  • 5 metres @ 31.8 g/t gold
  • Hole AP-23-302
  • 52 metres @ 5.0 g/t gold
  • Hole AP-23-299
  • 11 metres @ 15.8 g/t gold

  • Hole AP-23-300 is 480% better than predicted in the current resource model at a >5g/t cutoff grade

Heliostar Metals Ltd. (TSX.V: HSTR, OTCQX: HSTXF, FRA: RGG1) (“Heliostar” or the “Company”) – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/heliostar-metals-ltd/ – is pleased to report additional drill results from the Ana Paula project in Mexico (“Ana Paula” or the “Ana Paula Project”). These four holes continue to assess mineralization up-plunge of the High Grade Panel at the core of Ana Paula.

Heliostar CEO, Charles Funk, commented, “Drilling at Ana Paula continues to exceed our expectations and deliver impressive gold intercepts.  The headline hole, AP-23-300, is a 480% increase to the current resource model prediction, at a >5 g/t gold cut-off grade. The most easterly of Heliostar’s holes, AP-23-302 was also particularly impactful with an intersection of 51 metres @ 5.0 g/t gold in an area where high gold grades were not modelled in the 2023 PFS resource.  These results validate our belief that we can meaningfully increase the value of the Ana Paula project. The Company continues its well-funded expansion and infill drilling program of the High Grade Panel. Additional drill results will continue to be announced ahead of the planned resource update in November 2023.”

Drill Results

Results from this press release are from Heliostar’s up-plunge growth target at Ana Paula. 

Hole AP-23-299 tested the up-dip and central portion of the High Grade Panel.  This hole extended mineralization towards the surface and returned 38.0 metres grading 6.95 g/t gold, including 11.0 metres grading 15.8 g/t gold.

Hole AP-23-300 tested a gap in the high grade in the up-plunge area where hole AP-23-297 had intersected a sub-interval of 24 metres at 8.8 g/t gold.   Hole AP-23-300 returned 38 metres grading 13.4 g/t gold including 9.5 metres grading 31.8 g/t gold to better define the northern extent of High Grade Panel in this area.

Hole AP-23-301 tested deeper beneath AP-23-300 in an area where the panel is narrower.  It intersected 8.5 metres grading 3.0 g/t gold.
