## Minestarters Atlas summary

Heliostar Metals announced significant drill results from its Ana Paula Expansion Zone in Mexico, highlighted by 101.0 metres grading 5.34 g/t gold in hole AP-25-374, which represents a 36-metre step-out. The program continues to define high-grade mineralization at depth and near planned underground infrastructure, with results pending from an additional five holes. These results increase confidence in the down-dip extension of the high-grade deposit and support future resource extensions.

Reasoning: Heliostar reported exceptional broad high-grade gold intercepts, including 101.0 m at 5.34 g/t gold, extending mineralization at depth in the Ana Paula Expansion Zone, which significantly enhances resource potential.

- Positive factor: Exceptional broad high-grade gold intercept \(101.0 m at 5.34 g/t Au\) in hole AP-25-374

- Positive factor: Significant step-out extension of mineralization at depth

- Positive factor: Confirmation of high-grade continuity within the Expansion Zone

- Positive factor: Strong QA/QC protocols and QP sign-off

- Negative factor: True widths of intercepts are unknown

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

Facts used in scoring: 23

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm.

Why it applies: Hole AP-25-374 returned 101.0 m grading 5.34 g/t gold, which is an exceptional grade-width product for an underground target. Other bonanza grades include 1.1 m at 60.7 g/t Au in AP-25-358 and 0.75 m at 39.7 g/t Au in AP-26-377.

Evidence · text

> 101.0 m grading 5.34 g/t gold from 512.5m

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Hole AP-25-374 is described as a 36 m step out to the east, and the release mentions assays pending for step-out drill holes, indicating expansion of mineralization.

Evidence · text

> The 101.0 m grading 5.34 grams per tonne \("g/t"\) gold is a 36 m step out to the east of AP-13-215

**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 details that ALS facilities are ISO/IEC 17025 certified, control samples \(certified reference and blank samples\) were systematically inserted, and a Qualified Person \(Stewart Harris, P.Geo.\) has reviewed and approved the disclosure.

Evidence · text

> 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. Statement of Qualified Person 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.

**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.

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: Hole AP-25-377 was specifically designed to infill a portion of inferred mineralization currently in the PEA mine plan.

Evidence · text

> Hole AP-25-377 was designed to infill a portion of inferred mineralization currently in the PEA mine plan.

Reasoning: This intercept features an exceptionally high gold grade, indicating the presence of bonanza-grade mineralization, though over a very narrow interval.

- Positive factor: Exceptional bonanza gold grade \(39.7 g/t Au\)

- Negative factor: Very narrow intercept length \(0.75 m\)

- Negative factor: True width is unknown

Reasoning: This intercept shows moderate width with a grade just above the cut-off, indicating marginal economic significance but contributing to overall mineralization.

- Positive factor: Moderate intercept length \(12.65 m\)

- Negative factor: Grade is marginally above the stated resource cut-off of 2.1 g/t Au

- Negative factor: True width is 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.
