Heliostar Metals: Can High-Grade Gold Mines Fuel Growth to 500,000 Ounces Annually?

Heliostar Metals is building the next 500,000 oz/yr mid-tier gold company, combining cash flow from two operating mines with a deep pipeline of development growth projects starting with the high grade Ana Paula mine next year.

Heliostar Metals is focused on growing gold production through operational optimization, high-grade development projects and disciplined capital allocation. With two operating gold mines, the company is generating cash flow to fund its next phase of growth while advancing its project pipeline that's the path to significantly increased production.

The company’s long-term vision isto become a 500,000-ounce-per-year gold producer by 2030. Key to achieving that target is expanding existing operations and advancing new mines, with Ana Paula in Mexico representing a major step in that growth strategy.

Heliostar’s Ana Paula Gold Project hosts a high-grade deposit with the potential to deliver approximately 100,000 ounces of gold annually. The November 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment outlined all-in sustaining costs of just over US$1,000 per ounce, highlighting the project’s potential to become a significant contributor to both future production and cash flow. The company is advancing feasibility study work and permitting as it moves toward a construction decision mid next year.

Beyond Ana Paula, Heliostar has recently added the Goldstrike Project in Utah to its portfolio, which hosts an existing gold resource of approximately one million ounces. Together with its two operating mines and near-term development pipeline, Goldstrike provides another solid piece to support Heliostar’s growth ambitions.
