## Minestarters Atlas summary

Heliostar Metals Ltd. announced high-grade gold drill results from its Ana Paula project in Guerrero, Mexico, with multiple intercepts exceeding 10 g/t gold over significant widths, including 69.15 metres grading 10.1 g/t gold. These infill drilling results are intended to convert inferred resources to higher confidence classifications and will be incorporated into the 2027 Feasibility Study. The company aims to expand the mine life and production profile, with the Ana Paula mine expected online in 2028.

Reasoning: Heliostar's drill results from the Ana Paula project demonstrate consistently high-grade gold over significant widths, particularly within the High Grade Panel. This infill drilling is crucial for upgrading inferred resources to higher confidence categories, supporting the ongoing Feasibility Study, and expanding the mine plan. The strong QA/QC protocols and QP sign-off enhance confidence in the results, though the lack of true width disclosure is a minor drawback.

- Positive factor: High-grade gold intercepts over broad widths

- Positive factor: Infill drilling supports conversion of inferred resources to higher confidence categories

- Positive factor: Results will be included in the 2027 Feasibility Study

- Positive factor: QA/QC procedures disclosed with certified lab and QP sign-off

- Negative factor: True widths are unknown

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

Facts used in scoring: 17

## Classification and evidence

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: The release explicitly states that drill core samples were sent to ISO/IEC 17025 certified ALS Limited laboratories and that control samples \(certified reference and blank\) were systematically inserted.

Evidence · text

> Core samples were shipped to ALS Limited in Zacatecas, Zacatecas and Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, for sample preparation and for analysis at the ALS laboratory in North Vancouver. The Zacatecas, Hermosillo, and North Vancouver ALS facilities are ISO/IEC 17025 certified. Gold was assayed by 30-gram fire assay with atomic absorption spectroscopy finish, and overlimits were analyzed by 30-gram fire assay with gravimetric finish. Control samples comprising certified reference and blank samples were systematically inserted into the sample stream and analyzed as part of the Company's quality assurance / quality control protocol.

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience.

Why it applies: Stewart Harris, P.Geo., a Qualified Person, reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in the news release.

Evidence · text

> Stewart Harris, P.Geo., a Qualified Person, as such term is defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, has reviewed the scientific and technical information that forms the basis for this news release and has approved the disclosure herein.

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery.

Why it applies: The document explicitly states that the drill program is 'infilling areas of inferred mineralization' to support resource conversion.

Evidence · text

> The drill program is infilling areas of inferred mineralization currently in the November 2025 Preliminary Economic Analysis mine plan.

**Apparent Width Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness.

Why it applies: The document explicitly states that 'True widths are unknown' for the reported intercepts.

Evidence · text

> True widths are unknown.

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
