HELIOSTAR WELCOMES NEW INSIDER WITH FINAL CLOSE OF PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED FINANCING

Heliostar Metals Ltd. has closed the final tranche of its non-brokered private placement offering.

Timing for closing of the final tranche was driven by the need to obtain TSX Venture Exchange approval for a new insider position.

Pursuant to the final tranche, the company issued an aggregate of 1,886,000 shares at a price of 26.5 cents per share for gross proceeds of $499,790. Further to the company's news releases dated June 5, 2024, and June 21, 2024, the company has raised aggregate gross proceeds of $4,979,505 in the offering.

The shares issued in the final tranche were offered to purchasers pursuant to the accredited investor exemption under Section 2.3 of National Instrument 45-106 and will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day.

The company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering for the commencement of drilling at Ana Paula and general working capital.

Closing of the offering is subject to final approval of the TSX-V.
