CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

This presentation contains certain statements that may be deemed "forward-looking statements". All statements in this presentation, other than statements of historical fact, that address future operations, resource potential, exploration drilling, exploitation activities and events or developments that the Company expects to occur, are forward looking statements.

Forward looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by the words "expects", "plans" "anticipates", "believes", "intends", "estimates", "projects", "potential", "NPV targets" and similar expressions, or that events or conditions "will", "would", "may", "could" or "should" occur. Information inferred from the interpretation of drilling results and information concerning mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to be forward looking statements, as it constitutes a prediction of what might be found to be present when and if a project is actually developed.

Although the Company believes the expectations expressed in such forward looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include market prices, exploitation and exploration successes, and continued availability of capital and financing, and general economic, market or business conditions.

Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements are based on the beliefs, estimates and opinions of the Company's management on the date the statements are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements in the event that management's beliefs, estimates or opinions, or other factors, should change, except as may be required by applicable law.

A RAPID PATH TO PRODUCTION

OUR VISION

• Change the Ana Paula mine plan from an open pit to a high grade, underground gold mine
• Deliver re-scoping milestones in 2023 (drilling results, mine sequencing, metallurgy and resource upgrade)
• Targeting a materially improved NPV and IRR
• Targeting a lower construction CAPEX
• Reach construction decision in 18 months and commercial production in 3 years
• Unlock a three-stage growth pipeline
• 1. Target expansion of the core High-Grade Panel
  2. Target growth of the overall Ana Paula Deposit
  3. Explore the entire 52,047 Hectare claim package to define full extent of Ana Paula's potential

TSX.V: HSTR | OTCQX: HSTXF	heliostarmetals.com	7

2023 RE-SCOPE

Three simple steps targeting increased mine economics

Reserve Growth

Drill program to expand and infill the High-Grade Panel

• Drilling commenced in April, 2023
• Results continuing from May through to September
• 3,216 metre program completed to drive resource update
• Targeting growth of the High Grade Panel up and down plunge
• Potential to increase grade within the High Grade Panel

Bring High-Grade Forward

Complete an underground mine sequence

• No mining sequence has previously been completed at Ana Paula
• Choosing a selective underground mining technique has the potential to bring high grade ounces forward in the mine plan
• Geotechnical program commenced to define maximum mining stope shapes
• Utilize existing decline at Ana Paula

Improve Metallurgy

Optimize met work for a conventional milling circuit

• Open pit PFS focused on low grade material
• Opportunity to improve recoveries within the High Grade Panel
• New metallurgical material being collected in current drilling program
• Optimization focus on gravity recovery and inclusion of a conventional regrind circuit
