Vancouver, Canada, April 8th, 2021 – Heliostar Metals Limited (TSX.V: HSTR, OTCQX: HSTXF, FRA: RGG 1)

("Heliostar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Canaccord

Genuity Corp., as lead agent, on behalf of a syndicate of agents including Sprott Capital Partners LP and Haywood

Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (each a “Common Share”) and one

half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant a “Warrant”). Each Warrant shall be

exercisable for one Common Share at an exercise price of $1.70 for a period of 12 months following the Closing

Date.

The Warrants may be accelerated by the Company, at its sole option, at any time after the closing date of the

Offering provided that the daily volume-weighted average trading price of the common shares of the Company

on the TSX Venture Exchange is greater t han or equal to $ 2.00 for a period of 15 consecutive trading days, by

giving notice to the holders thereof and, in such case, the Warrants will expire at 4:00pm (Toronto time) the 30th

day after the date on which such notice is given by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Warrants.

The Company has agreed to grant the Agents an over-allotment option to sell up to an additional fifteen percent

(15%) of the Units offered in the Offering at the Offering Price, exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time on or

prior to the closing of the Offering. If the over-allotment option is exercised in full, the Company could sell up to

an additional 571,429 Units for additional gross proceeds of up to C$600,000 and the aggregate gross proceeds

of the Offering could be increased to an aggregate of C$4,600,000.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to advance the Company’s Alaskan and Mexican

projects, as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Offering is scheduled to close on or about April 29th, 2021 and is subject to certain conditions including, but

not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the

securities regulatory authorities.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United

States or to U.S. Persons (as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S), nor shall there be any sale of the

securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The securities being

underground gold mine and the Zachary Bay porphyry gold -copper prospect. Gold minera lization at the

Centennial Zone is located on neighbouring Popof Island within four kilometres of infrastructure and services at

Sand Point.

In Mexico, the company owns 100% of three early stage epithermal projects in Sonora that are highly prospective

for gold and silver. Cumaro forms part of the El Picacho district, while the Oso Negro and La Lola projects are

also prospective for epithermal gold-silver mineralization.
