INTERVIEW SUMMARY: @HeliostarMetals' Production Growth Strategy & Exploration Plans
$HSTR.v $HSTXF

Joining @TheKEReport, $HSTR's CEO details the company’s recently upsized financing & the impact on operations, exploration & overall growth trajectory:

⭐️Financing and Strategic Rationale⭐️
➡️Recently upsized financing from $XX million to $XX million.
➡️Purpose: Accelerate production growth, de-risk Ana Paula, and strengthen the balance sheet.

➡️Financing was not for operations as $HSTR remains cash flow positive.

➡️Raised at a 2-year high with no warrants, signaling strong market confidence.

➡️Largest shareholders participated, showing ongoing institutional support.

⭐️Use of Proceeds⭐️
1⃣Ana Paula Project:
✅Launching a two-rig drill program in April to convert inferred ounces to M&I.

✅Financing enables faster development and supports a mid-2026 construction decision.

2⃣St. Augustine:
✅Funding ready to expand operations upon expected permit approval mid-year.

✅Potential to bring new production online by Q4 2025.

3⃣Balance Sheet:
✅Recent capital raise further strengthens balance sheet to ~$27M USD

✅Enhances financial flexibility and reduces perceived investor risk.

⭐️Operational Momentum⭐️
➡️Transitioning from “scrappy” leach-pad production to more substantial & sustainable operations.

➡️Production to date in 2025 has been strong, aided by high gold prices and new discoveries.

➡️Q1 financials expected to show another strong quarter following early-November restart.

⭐️Exploration and News Flow⭐️
✅Drilling to resume shortly at Ana Paula and La Colorado.

✅Upcoming La Colorado results will highlight underground potential.

✅Working on sulfide upside at St. Augustine—described as a “free lottery ticket.”

✅Ana Paula drill results in Q2.

✅Feasibility Study for La Colorado expansion also expected soon.

⭐️Market Sentiment and Shareholder Base⭐️
➡️Financing backed by long-term, high-quality investors, not "fast money."

➡️Broader market still early in precious metals rebound; institutional interest just beginning to return.

Entering a new phase of growth, $HSTR is fully funded to aggressively drill, expand production, and enhance its project economics, with multiple near-term catalysts expected throughout 2025.
