Heliostar Metals Adds Robert Grey and Provides
Exploration Update
Vancouver, Canada, January 19th, 2021 – Heliostar Metals Limited (TSX.V: HSTR, US: RGCTF, FRA: RGG)
("Heliostar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Mr. Robert Grey has joined as Investor Relations
Manager.
“We are excited about the change s we are making at Heliosta r. Bringing Rob in to join the Heliostar team is
another key appointment for the company. Rob ’s experience in the role, highlighted by multiple successful
transactions of emerging gold projects , will assist Heliostar in achieving our aggressive goals for 2021 .”
Commented Heliostar CEO, Charles Funk. “ Rob will hit the ground running as th e company expects first assay
results from the Unga project before the end of January . The company is also preparing exploration programs
for our Mexican projects in February and at Unga in late March.”
Mr. Grey has over 20 years of experience in the resource industry and recently held senior communication
positions with both the highly successful Extorre Gold Mines Ltd., and Exeter Resources Corporation which were
both transacted with major mining corporations for a total of $661M.
Unga Exploration Update
The 2020 Unga project drill program was successfully completed in the last week of November. 23 holes have
been completed for a total of 3,180 metres with the SH-1, Aquila, Apollo, Sitka and Empire Ridge targets tested.
Drilling intersected target veins in nineteen of the twenty-three completed holes. The completion of assay results
has been slower than initially expected and the company has utilized multiple sample preparation laboratories
to minimize assay turnaround as much as possible . The company expects the first results from drilling at SH -1
before the end of January and will receive additional results throughout February and March. The company then
plans to recommence exploration at our Unga project in Alaska in late March and will provide additional updates
ahead of commencing the program.
2021 Mexico Exploration program
The company plans to start an exploration program at its Mexican projects in Sonora State next month. Drilling
at La Lola should commence in February. The work at La Lola focuses on the La Barra vein, a 5 km long structure
with elevated gold and silver values. This highly prospective area has never been drilled.
Mapping and sampling will be completed at Oso Negro and Cumaro in February and March. Oso Negro is a large,
early stage gold and silver project with outcropping veins. Sampling this spring should provide drilling targets for
later in 2021.
Cumaro is part of the El Picacho District. Work on the veins along the same structural trend, just 2 km north of
Cumaro, on claims recently purchased by Silvercrest Metals intersected wide widths of high grade gold with
silver. As with Oso Negro, Cumaro’s regional work this spring should provide drill targets for the future.
