Heliostar Metals CEO Charles Funk sits down with Mining Stock Daily to discuss the company's exceptional Q1 2026 results: record production of 11,743 oz gold with operating earnings of $30.9M, all achieved at an industry-leading AISC under $2,000/oz. With 60% year-over-year production growth and a clear roadmap to generate $150M annually for the next two years, HSTR is maximizing cash flow from current operations while advancing its flagship Ana Paula development project. Funk also breaks down the opportunistic Goldstrike acquisition in Utah (a 1M oz deposit with ~5-year timeline), the capital allocation strategy funding three major initiatives simultaneously, and the company's disciplined approach to share dilution—projecting 150-200k oz/year production without significant future equity issuance.
