Heliostar Metals - Upsized $17Mil Financing, Production Growth Strategy and Exploration Plans


Listen Later

 

Charles Funk, President and CEO of Heliostar Metals (TSX.V:HSTR - OTCQX:HSTXF - FRA: RGG1) joins me for a focused discussion on the company’s recently upsized all-share financing and what it means for operations, exploration, and overall growth trajectory.

 

Key Theme: Heliostar raises $17M in strategic financing to accelerate production growth and unlock value at flagship assets.

 

Key Discussion Points:
  • $17 Million Upsized Financing
  • Originally announced at $12M, the all-share financing was quickly upsized to $17M due to strong demand. Charles breaks down the rationale behind raising capital despite recent positive cash flow and early debt repayment.

  • Use of Proceeds: Production, Exploration & Balance Sheet Strength
  • With ~US$10M in the bank pre-financing, the company is now positioned to:

    • Ramp up drilling at Ana Paula with a two-rig program starting in April.
    • Accelerate expansion at San Antonio once permits are received (expected mid-year).
    • Strengthen the balance sheet, which has been a key priority to de-risk the business.
    •  

      • News Flow Outlook
      • Expect increased activity in Q2 and beyond, including:

        • Drill results from Ana Paula and underground targets at La Colorado.
        • Updated feasibility study for La Colorada expansion.
        • Quarterly production update from current operating assets.
        • Progress on evaluating sulfide potential at San Agustin.

        • “This financing allows us to go faster, de-risk Ana Paula, and bring forward value creation—without compromising operational cash flow or balance sheet health.” — Charles Funk
