Heliostar Metals Closes Bought Deal Equity Financing for Gross Proceeds of $19.5 Million

Heliostar Metals Closes Bought Deal Equity Financing for Gross Proceeds of $19.5 Million

Heliostar Metals Ltd. (TSXV: HSTR) (OTCQX: HSTXF) (FSE: RGG1) ("Heliostar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the bought deal equity financing previously announced by the Company on March 20, 2025, including the partial exercise of the underwriters' option, for aggregate gross proceeds of $19,500,000 (the "Offering"). The Offering was conducted by a syndicate of underwriters led by Cormark Securities Inc. and Velocity Trade Capital Ltd., and including Clarus Securities Inc., BMO Capital Markets, Roth Canada Inc. and Ventum Financial Corp. (collectively, the "Underwriters").

Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued 19,500,000 common shares (the "Offered Shares") at a price of $1.00 per Offered Share. Mr. Eric Sprott, through 2176423 Ontario Ltd. ("2176423"), a corporation beneficially owned by him, invested $5,000,000 by subscribing for 5,000,000 Offered Shares.

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for the development of the Company's projects in Mexico, including drilling at Ana Paula, and for general corporate purposes.

In consideration for the services provided by the Underwriters in connection with the Offering, on closing the Company paid to the Underwriters a cash commission equal to 5.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering.

Of the Offered Shares, (a) 9,000,000 were sold pursuant to the "listed issuer financing exemption" under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions and therefore are not subject to resale restrictions pursuant to applicable Canadian securities legislation, and (b) 10,500,000 were sold pursuant to other exemptions under applicable Canadian securities legislation and are subject to a hold period expiring on July 29, 2025.

The Offering remains subject to the final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V").

2176423 is an existing insider of the Company, and as such, its participation in the Offering is a related-party transaction as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company completed the Offering in reliance on exemptions available under MI 61-101 from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101. Specifically, the Offering is exempt from the formal valuation requirement in Section 5.4 of MI 61-101 in reliance on Section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 as the Company is not listed on a specified market within the meaning of MI 61-101. Additionally, the Offering is exempt from the minority approval requirement in Section 5.6 of MI 61-101 in reliance on Section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 insofar as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the Offering insofar as it involves "interested parties" exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing date of the Offering as the details of the Offering and the participation therein by each "related party" of the Company were not settled until shortly prior to closing, and the Company wished to close the Offering on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.

Heliostar Fully Repays Acquisition Loan Within 3 Months.

Heliostar Metals Ltd. (TSXV: HSTR) (OTCQX: HSTXF) (FSE: RGG1) ("Heliostar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has repaid the US$5M loan obtained from Deans Knight Capital Management Ltd on November 6th, 2024. The loan was used to acquire the portfolio of operating and development assets in Mexico from Florida Canyon Gold Inc.

Heliostar CEO Charles Funk commented, "Repayment of this loan is another significant milestone for Heliostar. In November 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of producing gold assets with a clear upside for less than one percent equity dilution by taking on debt. Using debt was assessed to be the best outcome for shareholders to minimize dilution. Making the repayment earlier than had been expected, within approximately three months of the asset acquisition, speaks to the free cash flow generation from our operating mines and the Company's fiscal discipline. Looking forward, being debt-free allows all profits generated from operations to be reinvested directly into our Company's growth. This reinvestment will focus on expanding production and growing resources across our portfolio throughout 2025."

Blackrock Silver Steps Out 1.2km Across New High-Grade Zone at Tonopah West

Blackrock Silver Steps Out 1.2km Across New High-Grade Zone at Tonopah West

Scout Drilling Confirms the Extension of the High-Grade Merten Vein Creating Potential to Expand the DPB Resource up to 1,200 Metres to the East

Blackrock Silver Corp. (TSXV: BRC) (OTCQX: BKRRF) (FSE: AHZ0) ("Blackrock" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results from the reverse circulation ("RC") Scout Drilling Program completed on the southeastern side of the DPB M&I Conversion area on its 100% owned Tonopah West project located in Nye and Esmeralda Counties, Nevada, United States.

Starting in late December 2024 and finishing in late January 2025, the Company completed ten exploration RC drillholes in the eastern portion of the DPB area and the adjacent Ohio target to test for gold and silver along a structural zone and beneath a felsic sill. A total of 3,857 metres (12,655 ft) was drilled. The program was very successful with silver and gold being returned from all targets.

SCOUT PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Assays from our reverse circulation scout drill program have returned significant gold & silver values in 7 drillholes that have successfully expanded the footprint of mineralization up to 1,200 metres to the east of the existing DPB resource toward the historic Ohio mine;

  • These intercepts cover a new zone of mineralization not included in the 2024 resource that may impact the upcoming DPB South resource update (Q3, 2025);

  • TW25-128 which returned 9.6 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 1,198 g/t silver over 1.52-metres (2,063 g/t silver equivalent (AgEq)) from 292 metres in the Ohio area;

  • TW25-133 returned multiple thick zones of mineralization including 10.46 g/t gold and 10.6 g/t silver over 4.57-metres (952 g/t AgEq) including 1.52 metres grading 21.45 g/t gold and 15.7 g/t silver (1,948 g/t AgEq) from 309 metres and 3.05 metres grading 270 g/t AgEq (129 g/t silver and 1.57 g/t gold) from 280 metres;

  • TW25-130 cut 1.52 metres of 587 g/t AgEq (3.3 g/t gold and 290 g/t silver) from 189 metres

  • Assays from multiple drillholes have extended the Merten vein system by 540 metres along strike to the east of the main DPB South resource. With the inclusion of discovery hole TW25-128, targeting an area historic miners referred to as the Ohio vein, the mineralized trend could extend up to 1,200-metres in length;

  • Additional drilling has been deployed to this area and assays for three core holes, TXC25-133, -134 and -135 are pending.

Andrew Pollard, Blackrock's President and CEO, stated, "Results from our RC Scout drilling program confirm the discovery of a new high-grade gold and silver structural zone extending 1.2 kilometres (km) east from our existing resource shell. Historic miners referred to this eastern target area as the Ohio Vein, a substantial producer in the early 1900's, but until now, its mineralization had remained elusive. With every drillhole in this program returning elevated grades across the trend, the scale of the project has increased dramatically, with the results suggesting significant new high-grade tonnage potential. Coupled with our recently released expansion results (see February 24, 2025 news release), where we successfully stepped out 500 metres to the northwest, we have increased the footprint of high-grade mineralization along the vein corridor by over 65% this year, adding an additional 1.7km of drill-defined strike. We have already deployed additional drilling to this new zone, with assays for three core drillholes pending."

TW25-133 returned significant silver and gold with values starting at 309-metres grading 10.46 g/t gold and 10.6 g/.t silver over 4.57 metres (952 g/t AgEq). This mineralization extends the Merten vein 540 metres to the east-southeast of the main DPB South resource. With the inclusion of TW25-128 which returned 9.6 g/t gold and 1198 g/t silver over 1.5-metres (2,063 g/t AgEq), the zone could be up to 1,200-metres in cohesive strike. Table 1 summarizes the assay results (150 g/t AgEq cutoff).

Drilling suggests the Merten vein extends eastward and is arched and dips southward. This orientation suggests multiple ring structures associated with the Fraction caldera. An inner structure hosting the Victor and DPB North (Denver and Paymaster) resources, and an outer, more southern, ring structure hosting DPB South (Merten and Bermuda) and the NW Stepout resources. The arching geometry of the Merten vein is similar to that described from the historic Ohio vein which was 15 metres thick when mined in the early 1900s1. Given the geometry and location, the Merten is potentially the extension of the Ohio vein.

The mineralized zone traced by these assay results is new and not included in the 2024 resource. These results may have a substantive impact on the planned DPB South resource update scheduled for Q3 2025.

Drillholes TW24-124, TW25-126 and TW25-129 did not return assay values above 150 g/t AgEq. TW24-124 and TW25-126 were in the DPB area while TW25-129 was collared in the Ohio area. These drillholes had mineralization which ranged between 49 to 60 g/t AgEq. Assays for three core holes, TXC25-133, -134 and -135 are pending.

Quality Assurance/ Quality Control

All sampling is conducted under the supervision of the Company's project geologists, and a strict chain of custody from the project to the sample preparation facility is implemented and monitored. The RC samples are hauled from the project site to a secure and fenced facility in Tonopah, Nevada, where they are loaded on to American Assay Laboratory's (AAL) flat-bed truck and delivered to AAL's facility in Sparks, Nevada. A sample submittal sheet is delivered to AAL personnel who organize and process the sample intervals pursuant to the Company's instructions.

The RC samples are lined out at the lab and logged into AAL's system. The samples are dried, crushed to 85% passing 10 mesh (2mm) and a 250-gram sub-sample split is collected and pulverized to 200 mesh (74 micron) in a ring and puck pulverizer. Then the pulverized material is digested and analyzed for gold using fire assay fusion and an Induced Coupled Plasma (ICP) finish on a 30-gram assay split (FA-PB30-ICP). Silver is determined using five-acid digestion and ICP analysis (ICP-5AM48). Over limits for gold and silver are determined using a gravimetric finish (GRAVAU30 and GRAVAG30). Data verification of the assay and analytical results are completed to ensure accurate and verifiable results. Blackrock personnel insert a blind prep blank, lab blank or a certified reference material approximately every 15th to 20th sample.

- First ore stockpile from Boorara was 50,604 dry tonnes at 0.791g/t for 1,163 oz sold at an average gold price of $4,256/oz, generating ~$4.951M in revenue

- The second ore parcel is currently being processed at Paddington with a third parcel is in the process of being hauled. More than 100,000t of high-grade ore is currently stockpiled on the Boorara ROM pad, allowing for the additional campaigns to be processed at the Greenfields Mill in April and June

- Boorara is now operating at steady state ore production

Commenting on the mining progress, Managing Director and CEO Mr Grant Haywood said:

"Following on from our first gold pour for Boorara in January, we have now built up significant ore stockpiles, with mining now in steady state operation and in a position for the continuous processing of ore and cashflow generation which will continue well into 2026. We are also pleased to secure a new toll treatment agreement with Focus Minerals which aligns with the revised mining schedule at Phillips Find and allows us to increase our overall gold production from Boorara. As gold production ramps up in the June quarter we expect to commence a steady cash build from our dual mining and haulage operations."

Next Steps

The next campaign of ore treatment at FMR's Greenfields mill is scheduled to commence on 9 April 2025 and will comprise approximately 40kt of Boorara ore and 40kt of Phillips Find ore. A similar split of Boorara and Phillips Find ore is scheduled to be processed in June 2025 which will complete Horizon's current 200kt Toll Treatment Agreement with FMR.

The remaining 70kt of Phillips Find ore shall be processed through September/October 2025 at Focus Minerals' Three Mile Hill plant.

Processing of ore at Paddington from Boorara has now reached steady state and is expected to be continuous.

A further mining and processing update is expected in the Company's March Quarterly Report.
