Heliostar Metals ( (TSE:HSTR) ) has shared an announcement.
Heliostar Metals reported initial 2026 drill results from its 100% owned San Agustin Mine in Durango, Mexico, highlighting multiple oxide gold intercepts extending more than 200 metres beyond the current reserve pit. The company has expanded its resource and reserve drilling program to 15,000–18,000 metres this year, supported by a second rig, to define additional oxide resources that could justify a pit layback and extend mine life.
Management said the new intercepts in the Corner Expansion, Phase 3 SW and MKT zones show grades comparable to the current mine plan and confirm the potential for production growth at San Agustin. Stronger cash generation from an extended mine life is positioned as a key pillar in Heliostar’s strategy to fund construction of its Ana Paula project in 2027–28 without turning to equity markets, which could be significant for existing shareholders.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:HSTR) stock is a Buy with a C$2.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Heliostar Metals stock, see the TSE:HSTR Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on HSTR Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, HSTR is a Outperform.
The score is driven primarily by the improved financial profile (profitability step-change and low leverage), supported by constructive technical momentum. Positive project and operational catalysts add support, while below-ideal cash conversion and the sustainability of the recent earnings jump keep the score from rating higher.
