Heliostar CEO, Charles Funk, commented, “La Colorada has long been a successful mine that helped build El Dorado Gold in 1990s and Argonaut Gold in the 2010s. It has operated profitably over its history and has reserves to support growth. Mining ceased in 2023 when stripping to expand the pit was not completed. This pre-strip is now a capital project and the opportunity to restart is a priority for Heliostar in 2025.”

“Over the past two-years, our focus has been on processing Pinguico’s low grade above ground historical stockpiles; preparing to expand the Level 4 access corridor and drive toward the historical underground stockpile; drilling the near surface San Jose and El Pinguico vein structures; and drilling towards the conceptual target of the probable intersection of the regional Veta Madre structure and the historically high-grade El Pinguico vein.”
