Heliostar’s Ana Paula Story Shifts From Discovery to Execution

Mining Stock Daily

About

Heliostar Metals CEO Charles Funk joins Mining Stock Daily from Beaver Creek to discuss progress on the Ana Paula feasibility study, where continued drilling is increasing confidence in a 10-year mine life at roughly 100,000 ounces of annual gold production. Funk discusses deeper high-grade expansion drilling, permitting and mine design, while explaining why a surprisingly competitive debt market could allow Heliostar to finance Ana Paula without issuing equity. The conversation also addresses the company’s biggest remaining challenge: shifting from geology and resource growth to successfully executing the construction of a new gold mine.
