In this KE Report company update – recorded live from the floor of the New Orleans Investment Conference – I speak with Stephen Soock, VP of Investor Relations and Development at Heliostar Metals (TSX.V:HSTR – OTCQX:HSTXF – FSE:RG1). A former mining analyst turned executive, Stephen shares his perspective on valuing and growing a junior producer now generating cash flow.

Key Discussion Highlights:

• Career Shift: From mining engineer and Bay Street analyst to VP at Heliostar.
  
  
• Company Transition: Now producing in Mexico and advancing the Ana Paula Gold Project toward ~100k oz/year by 2028.
  
  
• Valuation View: Sees Heliostar as an organically funded developer, using cash flow to de-risk growth.
  
  
• NAV & Gold Prices: Balancing realistic discount rates with conservative long-term pricing.
  
  
• Mexico Operations: Positive experience under the current administration with continued permitting progress.
  
  
• Growth Plans: Targeting 500k oz/year by decade’s end through internal growth and selective acquisitions.
  
  
• M&A Landscape: Industry consolidation creating space for new mid-tier producers like Heliostar.
