Heliostar Drills 2.5 Metres of 92g/t Silver in First Holes, Drilling Ongoing at La Lola, Mexico

Heliostar CEO, Charles Funk, commented, “These results are an excellent start to our drilling program at La Lola. To prove that higher grades occur within the main La Barra vein is a significant development and the company continues to drill looking for the heart of the system. This 1,500-metre program is the first ever drilling completed at La Lola and if Heliostar can demonstrate ore grades we can then step-out along the entire length of the La Barra vein.”
