Heliostar Metals ( (TSE:HSTR) ) has issued an update.

Heliostar Metals has agreed to acquire a 100% interest in the Goldstrike project in southwestern Utah from Liberty Gold, adding an indicated mineral resource of 975,000 ounces of gold at 0.46 g/t and an inferred 90,000 ounces at 0.31 g/t. The historic open-pit, heap-leach operation, which previously produced gold and silver, benefits from road access, nearby power and population centers, and significant existing technical work that could support a faster development timeline.

The transaction involves an initial consideration of US$10 million in cash plus US$2.5 million in Heliostar shares on closing, along with up to US$60 million in milestone cash payments over five years, underscoring the strategic value of the asset. Goldstrike’s Carlin-style system, shallow drilling, and outcropping high-grade antimony with a history of antimony production provide both resource expansion potential and critical mineral upside, positioning Heliostar for diversification and potential re-rating within the North American gold and critical metals space.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:HSTR) stock is a Buy with a C$2.00 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.
