Heliostar Reports Multiple Stockpile Assays Including 10.7m of 1.81 g/t Gold at La Colorada Mine

Heliostar Reports Multiple Stockpile Assays Including 10.7m of 1.81 g/t Gold at La Colorada Mine

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • 10.7m grading 1.81 g/t gold from surface
  • 19.8m grading 0.62 g/t gold from 4.6 metres
  • 13.7m grading 0.61 g/t gold from surface
  • 9.10m grading 0.87 g/t gold from surface
  • Additional drilling success at the Truckshop stockpile fits La Colorada's strategy to maximize cashflow ahead of pit expansions
  • Definition of stockpiles ongoing at La Colorada with next drilling planned at El Dorado

Heliostar Metals Ltd. (TSXV: HSTR) (OTCQX: HSTXF) (FSE: RGG1) ("Heliostar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from the Truckshop stockpile at its operating La Colorada Mine in Sonora, Mexico. This is part of an ongoing drilling program across multiple targets at the mine. La Colorada has been profitably producing precious metals from stockpiles through the first half of 2025.

Heliostar CEO, Charles Funk, commented, "We continue to build the future for the La Colorada Mine with a plan to maximize cashflow from low-to-no capex stockpiles and use that capital to expand the Veta Madre, then the Creston pits. Today's results are another example of these tactical opportunities that the Heliostar team continues to find to optimize our operations. Further metallurgy and design work is required before we move forward, but we expect the Truckshop stockpile to provide additional incremental cash flow at La Colorada."

Drill Results Summary

The Truckshop stockpile was deposited as a waste dump in the 1990s when La Colorada was operated by Eldorado Gold Corporation. It is located only 400 metres from the mine's crushing circuit. Production records suggested that some of this material could be at a grade that is potentially economic in the current gold price environment. This provides a production bridge prior to higher-grade production from the Veta Madre and Creston pits.

Having current production from the Junkyard stockpile, the Company is well placed to assess the economics of the various dumps at La Colorada. With this information, drilling of 35 holes was undertaken into the Truckshop stockpile (Figure 2) to ascertain if it has the same potential as the Junkyard.

A total of 26 separate drillholes in the waste dump returned significant widths with grades in excess of the 0.164 g/t gold-equivalent1 cut-off grade used for the Junkyard. Zone A, an easily accessible portion of the stockpile with consistently higher-grade intercepts, could be accessed quickly and added to the production profile for La Colorada (Figure 2). Zone B contains lower grades, or mineralization beneath low grade material that may be less economically viable to re-process.

The Truckshop stockpile is also underlain in parts by historic tailings, which are typically higher grade where drilled. Metallurgical assessment has not yet been completed, and assay results from these historic tailings have not been included in this release.

Next Steps

Results from the drill program are being incorporated into an internal resource model that will not be included in the upcoming La Colorada technical report.

The Company is undertaking metallurgical analyses, including bottle roll tests and column leach tests. Should the results of that program provide positive results, Heliostar will complete a mine plan with a view to proceeding with extraction and processing later this year.

Following the successful completion of this drill program, the Company will now change the focus of drilling to test the larger El Dorado stockpile (Figure 1). If that drilling is successful, it may provide additional resources and cash flow similar to that currently being generated from the producing Junkyard reserve. The intention is to produce from these low-cost stockpiles to maximize cashflow ahead of primary mining from the open pit pushbacks.

Following the completion of the full stockpile drill program, the focus of drilling will shift to stepping out on the high-grade vein intercepts beneath and along strike from the open pits. The results received to date provide optimism for the potential of an underground future at La Colorada (see our April 9, 2025, press release here). In addition, the Company will advance property scale exploration targets with mapping and geophysics to define drill targets beyond the currently mined areas.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This news release includes certain "Forward-Looking Statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and "forward-looking information" under applicable Canadian securities laws. When used in this news release, the words "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect", "target", "plan", "forecast", "may", "would", "could", "schedule" and similar words or expressions, identify forward-looking statements or information. These forward-looking statements or information relate to, among other things, further metallurgy and design work is required before we move forward, but we expect the Truckshop stockpile to provide additional incremental cash flow at La Colorada. Heliostar will complete a mine plan with a view to proceeding with extraction and processing later this year. The intention is to produce from these low-cost stockpiles to maximize cashflow ahead of primary mining from the open pit pushbacks. Following the completion of the full stockpile drill program, the focus will shift to stepping out on the high-grade vein intercepts beneath and along strike from the open pits. The results received to date provide optimism for the potential of an underground future at La Colorada. In addition, the Company will advance property scale exploration targets with mapping and geophysics to define drill targets beyond the currently mined areas.

Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information relating to the terms and completion of the Facility, any future mineral production, liquidity, and future exploration plans are based on management's reasonable assumptions, estimates, expectations, analyses and opinions, which are based on management's experience and perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, and other factors that management believes are relevant and reasonable in the circumstances, but which may prove to be incorrect. Assumptions have been made regarding, among other things, the receipt of necessary approvals, price of metals; no escalation in the severity of public health crises or ongoing military conflicts; costs of exploration and development; the estimated costs of development of exploration projects; and the Company's ability to operate in a safe and effective manner and its ability to obtain financing on reasonable terms.

These statements reflect the Company's respective current views with respect to future events and are necessarily based upon a number of other assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, political, and social uncertainties and contingencies. Many factors, both known and unknown, could cause actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from the results, performance or achievements that are or may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or forward-looking information and the Company has made assumptions and estimates based on or related to many of these factors. Such factors include, without limitation: precious metals price volatility; risks associated with the conduct of the Company's mining activities in foreign jurisdictions; regulatory, consent or permitting delays; risks relating to reliance on the Company's management team and outside contractors; risks regarding exploration and mining activities; the Company's inability to obtain insurance to cover all risks, on a commercially reasonable basis or at all; currency fluctuations; risks regarding the failure to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; risks relating to project financing and equity issuances; risks and unknowns inherent in all mining projects, including the inaccuracy of reserves and resources, metallurgical recoveries and capital and operating costs of such projects; contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties; laws and regulations governing the environment, health and safety; the ability of the communities in which the Company operates to manage and cope with the implications of public health crises; the economic and financial implications of public health crises, ongoing military conflicts and general economic factors to the Company; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development activities; employee relations, labour unrest or unavailability; the Company's interactions with surrounding communities; the Company's ability to successfully integrate acquired assets; the speculative nature of exploration and development, including the risks of diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; stock market volatility; conflicts of interest among certain directors and officers; lack of liquidity for shareholders of the Company; litigation risk; and the factors identified under the caption "Risk Factors" in the Company's public disclosure documents. Readers are cautioned against attributing undue certainty to forward-looking statements or forward-looking information. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements or forward-looking information to reflect changes in assumptions or changes in circumstances or any other events affecting such statements or information, other than as required by applicable law.

1911 Gold Commences PEA on True North Project and Provides Update on Underground Progress

1911 Gold Commences PEA on True North Project and Provides Update on Underground Progress

1911 Gold Corporation (" 1911 Gold " or the " Company ") (TSXV: AUMB,OTC:AUMBF) (OTCQB: AUMBF) (FRA: 2KY) is pleased to announce that it has engaged AMC Consultants ("AMC") of Toronto, Canada to complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") study on the Company's wholly-owned True North Gold Project, located in Manitoba .

The PEA will evaluate the potential restart of underground mining operations at the True North mine, utilizing the existing permitted 1,300 tonne-per-day processing facility in Bissett . AMC will assess development and mining method scenarios based on the Company's current mineral resource estimate and extensive underground infrastructure, while referencing the Company's own internally developed mine plans. While the PEA will not incorporate results from recent and planned drilling, management believes that continued exploration success may provide significant upside beyond the scope of this assessment.

"Initiating a PEA with AMC is a critical milestone as we advance the True North Mine toward a restart," stated Shaun Heinrichs , President and CEO of 1911 Gold. "We intend to use the results of the PEA, together with delineation drilling to be completed in the fall on two bulk sample target zones, to finalize plans for a trial production run in mid-2026. This initial trial mining campaign, expected to last 3 - 5 months, will provide an important step toward demonstrating the planned mining and development methods, as well as confirm the resource and economics."

The Company anticipates delivering the PEA by the first quarter of 2026, which will provide the foundation for redevelopment planning and engagement with key stakeholders.

Underground Status Update

Momentum underground continues to build, with rehabilitation work nearing completion on Level 16 and other supporting levels in preparation for the next phase of drilling. Hancon Mining Ltd. mobilized crews to the site in August to complete critical rehabilitation and infrastructure upgrades required for drill access, with rigs scheduled to arrive in late September.

Further information on the planned drill program will be provided closer to the commencement date, with a total of 30,000 metres planned over the next several quarters. Drilling will include:

  • Exploration drilling focused on expanding the size potential of the recently discovered San Antonio West and San Antonio Southeast zones located adjacent to the historically mined San Antonio zone, within reach of existing underground workings.
  • Delineation drilling on the bulk sample target zones identified for early trial mining.
  • Resource expansion drilling to test extensions of resources scheduled for near-term production upon completion of the PEA.

These programs, together with the planned trial mining campaign, will deliver critical technical data to validate mining methods, inform development decisions, and unlock additional exploration opportunities across the broader True North Gold Project.
