The Company’s Chairman, Jacques Vaillancourt and director Ken Booth will step down at the AGM , and Mr James

Heliostar’s Chairman, Jacques Vaillancourt, commented on his retirement from the board. “The Company has changed
immensely from my initial involvement and investment . It has grown and evolved from a portfolio of prospective
exploration assets in Alaska and Nevada to now producing gold from two mines in Mexico, La Colorada and San Agustin.
That alone would be a significant corporate achievement, but these producing mines are compl emented by a very
exciting development portfolio of 100% owned projects, which include Ana Paula, Cerro del Gallo and San Antonio. All
of this is evidence of the talent, competence and the day -in and day -out diligence of the management team, led by
Charles Funk. I leave a Company operationally, financially and geologically stronger than ever and in very good hands” .
Charles Funk, President and & CEO, stated - “I wish to thank Jacques and Ken for their leadership and guidance as we
have built Heliostar over the last five years. The Company has come a long way, and their contributions to this growth
have been significant. As we continue to expand production towards our goal of 500,000 ounces of annual production
by the end of this decade, we look forward to welcoming James Perry to the Company’s board as Heliostar’s proposed
new Chairman.”
James Perry is proposed to succeed Mr. Vaillancourt as Chair man and will be put forward for approval by the
shareholders at the upcoming AGM. Mr. Perry is currently President of Sweetwater Royalties, a base metals, industrial
minerals and renewable energy royalty Company based in Denver , Colorado. Sweetwater , one of the largest
landowners in the United States, is a privately held company established in 2020 by Orion Resource Partners. Mr. Perry

Development Manager, as well as Corporate Counsel at Newcrest Mining, one of the world’s largest gold mining
companies, headquartered in Australia. Newcrest was acquired for US$ 19 billion by Newmont Mining in 2023.
