HIGHLIGHTS:

  • 30.20m grading 6.29g/t gold from 195.8m
  • 14.75m grading 13.6g/t gold from 153.5m
  • 20.95m grading 6.67g/t gold from 113.5m
  • 12.20m grading 8.72g/t gold from 344.5m
  • Consistent gold mineralization at the western end of the High Grade Panel
  • First results from a 15,000 metre program continuing throughout 2025

Heliostar Metals Ltd. (TSXV: HSTR,OTC:HSTXF) (OTCQX: HSTXF) (FSE: RGG1) (‘Heliostar’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce its first results from the current 15,000 metre drill program at its 100% owned Ana Paula project in Guerrero, Mexico. The program has the primary goal of converting inferred ounces to higher confidence classifications, as well as supporting the ongoing Feasibility Study and testing the next exploration targets around the Ana Paula deposit.

Heliostar CEO, Charles Funk, commented, ‘In 2025, Heliostar will drill more metres than we have in our entire Company’s history. We intend to drill between 40,000-50,000 metres from the close of the mine acquisitions late last year to the end of 2025. This drilling is being funded by cashflows from our operating mines. We are particularly excited to be undertaking our largest program at Ana Paula. These first results highlight the consistency of gold mineralization at the High Grade Panel, where we have two rigs turning. One is focused on resource drilling to grow the resource and to convert inferred to higher confidence ounces, and the second is with a geotechnical focus to support the Feasibility Study. These are the first of consistent, drill results planned to be released monthly from Ana Paula through 2025 and into 2026.’

Drilling Program

Heliostar has two rigs turning with 18 holes completed and 5,556 metres drilled to date. Drilling is designed along north-south sections with angled holes to best define the overall east-west orientation of the High Grade Panel. Heliostar’s drilling approach at Ana Paula has been to rotate drilling by approximately 90 degrees from the majority of historic intercepts. This change has been interpreted by the Company to have contributed to demonstrating more continuous and higher-grade gold mineralization within the High Grade Panel than previous operators recognized.

Where appropriate, the holes are also being used to collect rock strength data, hydrogeologic data and samples for further metallurgical studies that will directly influence the Ana Paula mine design in the ongoing Feasibility Study.

Drill Results Summary

Holes AP-25-323 and AP-25-325 are resource conversion holes drilled at the western end of the High Grade Panel. Hole AP-25-323 was drilled further west than the most prospective polymictic breccia host unit and still returned a number of attractive intercepts, including 12.2 metres (‘m’) grading 8.73 grams per tonne (‘g/t’) gold from 344.5 m.

AP-25-325 is located ~30m southeast of AP-25-323 and intercepted the favourable breccia host unit. The hole returned a wide, high-grade interval of 30.2 m grading 6.29 g/t gold from 195.8 m and a number of deeper intercepts that have the potential to expand the resource, including 4.5 m grading 12.6 g/t gold from 277.5 m downhole beneath the High Grade Panel.

Holes AP-25-322 and AP-25-324 are geotechnical holes for mine development planning and returned assay results in line with expectations, including a hit of 14.75 m grading 13.6 g/t gold from 153.5 m in AP-25-322.

Drilling continues at the less well-defined western edge of the High Grade Panel, with results from three additional holes pending from this area. Recently, drilling has been focused in the centre of the High Grade Panel with assays from seven holes pending from this area.

The next Ana Paula drill results are anticipated to be released in mid- to late September.

Selected financial and operational information outlined in this news release should be read in conjunction with Coelacanth’s unaudited condensed interim financial statements and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis (‘MD&A’) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, which are available for review under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

OPERATIONS UPDATE

Coelacanth has surpassed many milestones over its initial three years including:

  • Drilling and testing successful test pads at both Two Rivers East and West in multiple zones.
  • Completing significant infrastructure including a facility capable of ultimately handling 16,000 boe/d and over 23 miles of pipelines to connect wells and facilities to major gathering systems.
  • Obtaining core, pressure and other data that are invaluable in helping define commerciality to the multiple Montney horizons mapped over Coelacanth’s 150 section contiguous land block.

Wells recently placed on production from our 5-19 pad have exceeded expectations and we look forward to placing all our wells on production by October 1, 2025 once all planned third party outages and /or major pipeline maintenance is completed in September. Coelacanth will calibrate production to the type curves in our independent reserve report and recently released resource report to determine ultimate recoveries and provide insights into potential drilling and completion optimizations.

Over the next few years, Coelacanth will continue with its business plan that incorporates:

  • Systematically developing the resource using pad development and horizontal multi-frac technology to increase production and maximize cash flow and investment returns.
  • Delineating the lands with vertical and horizontal wells to help in quantifying and understanding the commerciality of its large Montney resource base that includes up to four Montney benches over its 150 contiguous sections of land.
  • Developing and licensing a flexible infrastructure plan that will allow for the resource to be scaled to a much larger production base.

Coelacanth has licensed additional locations on the 5-19 pad, is in the process of licensing additional development pads, delineation locations and additional infrastructure to grow beyond current plant capacity. While commodity prices and available capital will dictate the pace of execution of the business plan, we are very pleased with the results to date and look forward to reporting on new developments as they arise.

OIL AND GAS TERMS

The Company uses the following frequently recurring oil and gas industry terms in the news release:

 Liquids
 Bbls  Barrels 
 Bbls/d  Barrels per day 
 NGLs  Natural gas liquids (includes condensate, pentane, butane, propane, and ethane) 
 Condensate  Pentane and heavier hydrocarbons  
   
 Natural Gas
 Mcf  Thousands of cubic feet 
 Mcf/d  Thousands of cubic feet per day 
 MMcf/d  Millions of cubic feet per day 
 MMbtu  Million of British thermal units  
 MMbtu/d  Million of British thermal units per day 
   
 Oil Equivalent
 Boe  Barrels of oil equivalent 
 Boe/d  Barrels of oil equivalent per day 

 

Disclosure provided herein in respect of a boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent has been used for the calculation of boe amounts in the news release. This boe conversion rate is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

NON-GAAP AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES

This news release refers to certain measures that are not determined in accordance with IFRS (or ‘GAAP’). These non-GAAP and other financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. The non-GAAP and other financial measures should not be considered alternatives to, or more meaningful than, financial measures that are determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators of the Company’s performance. Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP and other financial measures provides useful information to shareholders and investors in understanding and evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating performance, and the measures provide increased transparency to better analyze the Company’s performance against prior periods on a comparable basis.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted funds flow (used)
Management uses adjusted funds flow (used) to analyze performance and considers it a key measure as it demonstrates the Company’s ability to generate the cash necessary to fund future capital investments and abandonment obligations and to repay debt, if any. Adjusted funds flow (used) is a non-GAAP financial measure and has been defined by the Company as cash flow from (used in) operating activities excluding the change in non-cash working capital related to operating activities, movements in restricted cash deposits and expenditures on decommissioning obligations. Management believes the timing of collection, payment or incurrence of these items involves a high degree of discretion and as such may not be useful for evaluating the Company’s cash flows. Adjusted funds flow (used) is reconciled from cash flow from (used in) operating activities as follows:

  Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
  June 30 June 30
($000s)  2025   2024   2025   2024 
Cash flow from (used in) operating activities  (1,826 ) (480 ) (845 ) 2,776
Add (deduct):        
Decommissioning expenditures 48 328 187 476
Change in restricted cash deposits 422 846
Change in non-cash working capital 1,178 (8 ) (1,382 ) (2,758 )
Adjusted funds flow (used) (non-GAAP) (600 ) 262 (2,040 ) 1,340

 

Net transportation expenses
Management considers net transportation expenses an important measure as it demonstrates the cost of utilized transportation related to the Company’s production. Net transportation expenses is calculated as transportation expenses less unutilized transportation and is calculated as follows:

  Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
  June 30 June 30
($000s) 2025 2024 2025 2024
Transportation expenses 779 826 1,330 1,371
Unutilized transportation (303 ) (522 ) (580 ) (747 )
Net transportation expenses (non-GAAP) 476 304 750 624

 

Operating netback
Management considers operating netback an important measure as it demonstrates its profitability relative to current commodity prices. Operating netback is calculated as oil and natural gas sales less royalties, operating expenses, and net transportation expenses and is calculated as follows:

  Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
  June 30 June 30
($000s)  2025   2024   2025   2024 
Oil and natural gas sales 4,828 3,164 7,494 6,830
Royalties (910 ) (674 ) (1,401 ) (1,495 )
Operating expenses (1,195 ) (888 ) (1,923 ) (1,782 )
Net transportation expenses (476 ) (304 ) (750 ) (624 )
Operating netback (non-GAAP) 2,247 1,298 3,420 2,929

 

Capital expenditures
Coelacanth utilizes capital expenditures as a measure of capital investment on property, plant, and equipment, exploration and evaluation assets and property acquisitions compared to its annual budgeted capital expenditures. Capital expenditures are calculated as follows: hello

  Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
  June 30 June 30
($000s)  2025   2024   2025   2024 
Capital expenditures – property, plant, and equipment 370 184 1,038 577
Capital expenditures – exploration and evaluation assets 13,903 2,338 38,936 3,208
Capital expenditures (non-GAAP) 14,273 2,522 39,974 3,785

 

Capital Management Measures

Adjusted working capital (deficiency)
Management uses adjusted working capital (deficiency) as a measure to assess the Company’s financial position. Adjusted working capital (deficiency) is calculated as current assets and restricted cash deposits less current liabilities, excluding the current portion of decommissioning obligations.

($000s) June 30,

December 31,
2024 
Current assets 6,439 11,579
Less:     
Current liabilities  (53,926 ) (37,234 )
Working capital deficiency (47,487 ) (25,655 )
Add:     
Restricted cash deposits 4,900 4,900
Current portion of decommissioning obligations 686 2,118
Adjusted working capital deficiency (Capital management measure) (41,901 ) (18,637 )

 

Non-GAAP Financial Ratios

Adjusted Funds Flow (Used) per Share
Adjusted funds flow (used) per share is a non-GAAP financial ratio, calculated using adjusted funds flow (used) and the same weighted average basic and diluted shares used in calculating net loss per share.

Net transportation expenses per boe
The Company utilizes net transportation expenses per boe to assess the per unit cost of utilized transportation related to the Company’s production. Net transportation expenses per boe is calculated as net transportation expenses divided by total production for the applicable period.

Operating netback per boe
The Company utilizes operating netback per boe to assess the operating performance of its petroleum and natural gas assets on a per unit of production basis. Operating netback per boe is calculated as operating netback divided by total production for the applicable period.

Supplementary Financial Measures

The supplementary financial measures used in this news release (primarily average sales price per product type and certain per boe and per share figures) are either a per unit disclosure of a corresponding GAAP measure, or a component of a corresponding GAAP measure, presented in the financial statements. Supplementary financial measures that are disclosed on a per unit basis are calculated by dividing the aggregate GAAP measure (or component thereof) by the applicable unit for the period. Supplementary financial measures that are disclosed on a component basis of a corresponding GAAP measure are a granular representation of a financial statement line item and are determined in accordance with GAAP.

PRODUCT TYPES

The Company uses the following references to sales volumes in the news release:

Natural gas refers to shale gas
Oil and condensate refers to condensate and tight oil combined

Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) – Basin Energy Limited (ASX:BSN) (OTCMKTS:BSNEF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% of the issued capital of NeoDys Limited (‘NeoDys’), a privately held critical minerals explorer with a dominant landholding in the Mount Isa region of northwest Queensland.

Key Highlights

– Binding agreement to acquire the largest prospective uranium and rare earth packages in Queensland, adjacent to Paladin Energy Limited’s (ASX:PDN) Valhalla uranium deposit and Red Metal Limited’s (ASX:RDM) Sybella rare earth discovery [1*]

– Early stage exploration supports three distinct, drill-ready exploration models, each amenable to low-cost shallow drilling:

o AEM geophysical survey previously reported identified extensive paleochannel network adjacent to the Sybella uranium ‘hot’ granite.

o Significant hard rock granite rare earth element potential, analogous to Red Metal’s Sybella discovery. Recent auger drill sampling returned numerous significant results including 5 m @ 1,951 ppm TREO with 578 ppm Nd+Pr oxide, incl. 3 m @ 705 ppm Nd+Pr oxide.

o District-scale sediment-hosted ionic clay rare earth potential with $150,000 Queensland Government funding in place to fastrack drilling. Soil sampling completed with numerous samped returning >600 ppm TREO with a maximum of 653 ppm TREO.

– Additional Valhalla-style uranium targets with multiple untested radiometric anomalies, in proximity to Valhalla, Skal and Odin deposits which host a combined 116 Mlbs U3O8 [2*]

– The Company has received firm commitments from institutional and sophisticated investors to raise $1.25 million at $0.025 per share, representing a 9% premium to 20 day VWAP.

– With the oversubscribed placement along with the Queensland grant, Basin Energy is fully funded to test these drill-ready high priority targets, enabling the Company to fast-track multiple uranium and rare earth drill programs.

– Detailed targeting and drill planning is underway with exploration planned to commence in Q4 2025 to test shallow, high priority targets via aircore and reverse circulation drilling.

Managing Director, Pete Moorhouse commented:

‘This acquisition propels Basin into Australia’s uranium and rare earth exploration landscape. These projects deliver exceptional geology, strategic scale and compelling upside across two of the most critical mineral sectors of the energy transition. With drill-ready targets and a low-cost structure, this portfolio is primed to deliver value for shareholders. Over the next 6 months, Basin Energy will be drilling the first holes on three district-scale opportunities for uranium and rare earth deposits in Northwest Queensland.

The Company is delighted with the strong interest in the capital raising. On behalf of the Board, I welcome our new shareholders, and thank existing shareholders for their continued support at an exciting time of development for the Company. We will be holding a webinar to walk through the projects on 28th August and encourage people to log in and learn more about this opportunity.’

Overview

This acquisition provides Basin with a commanding position over one of Australia’s emerging and underexplored provinces for uranium and rare earth elements (‘REE’), leveraging the recent Sybella rare earth discovery by Red Metal Limited (ASX:RDM) and the prospectivity of the adjacent Barkly Tableland.

Basin now holds 5,958 km2 of exploration tenure in the Mount Isa district of northwest Queensland. The projects provide compelling walk-up drill targets that can be rapidly and cost-effectively tested using air core and reverse circulation (RC) drilling. NeoDys have an existing Queensland Government Collaborative Exploration Initiative funding agreement for $150,000, available for Basin to support upcoming drilling programs.

The drill-ready, district scale targets include:

– Paleochannel roll front uranium (1*)

– Sediment and ionic clay hosted rare earth elements (2*)

– Hard rock, granite hosted rare earth elements (3*)

In addition to these three district-scale targets, the project area contains multiple shear-hosted Valhallastyle uranium targets defined for immediate assessment.

The primary model is based on mineralisation sourced from the various granites of the Sybella Batholith (‘the Sybella’), a large north-south trending igneous body containing zones enriched in rare earth elements. This includes the Red Metal (ASX:RDM) Sybella Discovery with a recent JORC inferred resource estimate of 4.795 Bt at 302 ppm NdPr, 28 ppm DyTb (200 ppm NdPr cut-off) or 209 Mt at 377 ppm NdPr, 34 ppm DyTb (360 ppm NdPr cut-off) [1*]. The Sybella granites are also uranium rich, potentially being the source of Paladin Energy’s (ASX:PDN) Valhalla deposits[2*] .

Terms of the Share Placement

The Company has received firm commitments to raise $1.25 million, by way of a two-tranche share placement (‘Placement’) of 50 million shares at an issue price of $0.025 per share. The Placement price represents the Company’s last market close price, and a 9.1% premium to the 20-day VWAP.

Tranche two will be subject to a general meeting, to be called shortly and expected in early October.

The offer was significantly oversubscribed, with proceeds to be allocated as follows:

– Air core drilling on the Barkly Tablelands uranium and REE targets

– RC drilling at the Newmans Bore granite-hosted REE target

– Mapping and sampling of the West Valhalla Radiometric targets

– General working capital.

The Placement was managed internally and was not subject to broker fees.

Ottawa’s push to strengthen trade links with Europe is moving ahead on two tracks: investing in new port infrastructure at home and formalizing a minerals partnership with Germany abroad.

Speaking alongside German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Berlin, Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed Tuesday (August 26) that Canada would support major new infrastructure projects, including a new port in Churchill and an expansion of Montreal’s Contrecœur terminal.

He also shared a bilateral agreement with Germany to cooperate on critical minerals development which will bring the two countries working together on project financing, technological development and supply-chain integration.

“A number of those investments, the first of which we will be formally announcing in the next two weeks, are with respect to new port infrastructure,” Carney said.

The new facilities, he added, would reinforce Montreal’s port system and create “enormous LNG plus other opportunities” in Churchill, alongside upgrades to other East Coast ports to handle critical metals and minerals.

The announcements deliver on a central campaign promise by Mr. Carney’s Liberals to advance large-scale infrastructure projects as a counterweight to US President Donald Trump’s protectionist trade policies.

Germany agreement

Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson signed the minerals agreement with his German counterpart in Berlin.

While not legally binding, the deal outlines plans to coordinate investment and appoint envoys to deepen cooperation in sectors ranging from electric vehicles to aerospace and defence.

“So there is a lot happening,” Carney added. “The number one focus of this government is to build that infrastructure, and particularly infrastructure that helps us deepen our partnership with our European partners, and particularly Germany.”

Germany is Canada’s largest European trading partner, with bilateral trade in goods reaching US$30.5 billion last year. For Berlin, diversifying supplies of energy and industrial inputs remains a priority after the country cut reliance on Russian natural gas following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

Ottawa and Berlin have previously signed memorandums of understanding on hydrogen and critical minerals, including 2022 agreements with Volkswagen (OTC Pink:VLKAF,FWB:VOW) and Mercedes-Benz Group (OTC Pink:MBGAF,ETR:MBG) to secure supplies of nickel, cobalt and lithium for electric vehicle batteries.

Canada’s economy has long depended on the US market, and the intensifying trade dispute with Washington has accelerated Ottawa’s drive to find new outlets.

The Prime Minister has framed Europe as Canada’s most reliable alternative, calling the country “the most European of non-European nations.”

His current trip marks his fourth visit to the continent since taking office in March, with stops in Ukraine, Poland, Germany and Latvia.

For Churchill, a new port would be a welcome transformation.

The northern Manitoba town’s existing facilities have largely been used for grain exports. Expanding its capacity to handle liquefied natural gas and minerals could give Canada another strategic outlet to Atlantic markets, bypassing congested southern corridors and reducing dependence on US ports.

US adds minerals to list

While Canada seeks to deepen European ties, Washington is reinforcing its own approach.

On Monday (August 25), the US Department of the Interior released a draft 2025 list of 54 critical minerals deemed vital to the economy and national security.

For the first time, copper, silver and potash were included, alongside silicon, rhenium and lead.

“President Trump has made clear that strengthening America’s economic and national security means securing the resources that fuel our way of life,” Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said in a recent press release.

“This draft list of critical minerals provides a clear, science-based roadmap to reduce our dependence on foreign adversaries, expand domestic production and unleash American innovation.”

The list, updated every three years under the Energy Act of 2020, guides federal investment, permitting, and recycling strategies. It originated with a 2017 executive order that directed agencies to assess US vulnerabilities in mineral supply chains.

The US Geological Survey tested more than 1,200 disruption scenarios for 84 minerals across 402 industries. The analysis flagged rare earths such as dysprosium, terbium and lutetium among the commodities posing the highest potential risks.
