In this company update, Charles Funk, President and CEO of Heliostar Metals (TSX.V:HSTR – OTCQX:HSTXF – FRA: RGG1), joins me to break down the latest drill results from the Truckshop stockpile at the La Colorada Project, and how these low-capex sources of gold could fund the next stage of development.

Key Topics: Truckshop Stockpile Drill Results: Comparing drill result average grade to the grades currently being mined from the Junkyard stockpile. * Development Pathway: Stockpiles are part of a phased approach – starting with low-cost processing, then open-pit expansions, followed by underground potential. * Upcoming Plans*:

+ **Internal resource and metallurgy studies** to fast-track Truckshop material to production possibly by year-end.
+ **El Dorado Stockpile drilling** begins soon – expected to be a major source of 2026 production.
+ **Ana Paula Project**: 15,000-meter drill program underway; results expected later this summer.

• Financial Position: Ended Q1 with $27M cash and no debt, funding aggressive exploration and development without dilution.

Charles also previews an upcoming technical report on pit expansions and hints at longer-term growth through untapped exploration potential at La Colorada.
