The program aims to convert inferred ounces to higher-confidence categories, support the Feasibility Study, and test new exploration targets around the deposit.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"nia-quote\">\n      <strong>Charles Funk, CEO<\/strong>, commented: \u201cThe drill results from the ongoing Ana Paula program continue to provide exciting results. The infill-focused drilling consistently returns broad, continuous intervals of strong grades as expected and\u2014in some instances\u2014higher-grade material than currently estimated. We intend to make a construction decision for Ana Paula following a Feasibility Study, targeting production of 100,000 ounces per year in 2028. To accelerate the process, a third drill rig has been mobilized to the site.\u201d\n    <\/div>\n\n    <h2 class=\"nia-h2\">Drilling Program Overview<\/h2>\n    <p>\n      Heliostar has added a third drill rig and completed 24 holes totaling 6,529 metres to date. Drilling is oriented along north-south sections with angled holes to define the east-west orientation of the High Grade Panel. The current drilling direction is rotated approximately 90\u00b0 from historical intercepts, which has revealed more continuous and higher-grade mineralization.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"nia-img\">\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inflation.us\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/hstr1.jpg\" alt=\"Figure 1: Plan Map of current drill program at Ana Paula\">\n      <div class=\"nia-caption\"><strong>Figure 1:<\/strong> Plan Map of the current drill program at Ana Paula<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"nia-img\">\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inflation.us\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/hstr2.jpg\" alt=\"Figure 2: Cross-section through hole AP-25-329\">\n      <div class=\"nia-caption\"><strong>Figure 2:<\/strong> Cross-section through hole AP-25-329<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <h2 class=\"nia-h2\">Table 1: Significant Drill Intersections<\/h2>\n    <div class=\"nia-table-wrap\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Significant Drill Intersections\" tabindex=\"0\">\n      <table class=\"nia-table\">\n        <thead>\n          <tr>\n            <th>Hole ID<\/th><th>From (m)<\/th><th>To (m)<\/th><th>Interval (m)<\/th><th>Au (g\/t)<\/th><th>Purpose<\/th>\n          <\/tr>\n        <\/thead>\n        <tbody>\n          <tr><td>AP-25-326<\/td><td>45.3<\/td><td>47.5<\/td><td>2.2<\/td><td>6.29<\/td><td>Geotechnical Hole<\/td><\/tr>\n          <tr><td><\/td><td>196.5<\/td><td>203.5<\/td><td>7.0<\/td><td>2.37<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr>\n          <tr><td><\/td><td>389.0<\/td><td>412.0<\/td><td>23.0<\/td><td>2.86<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr>\n          <tr><td>AP-25-327<\/td><td>36.15<\/td><td>37.4<\/td><td>1.25<\/td><td>32.1<\/td><td>Resource Hole<\/td><\/tr>\n          <tr><td><\/td><td>97.0<\/td><td>118.7<\/td><td>21.7<\/td><td>2.75<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr>\n          <tr><td><\/td><td>197.8<\/td><td>260.45<\/td><td>62.65<\/td><td>2.73<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr>\n          <tr><td>AP-25-328<\/td><td>179.5<\/td><td>182.0<\/td><td>2.5<\/td><td>12.25<\/td><td>Geotechnical Hole<\/td><\/tr>\n          <tr><td>AP-25-329<\/td><td>2.0<\/td><td>14.75<\/td><td>12.75<\/td><td>3.29<\/td><td>Resource Hole<\/td><\/tr>\n          <tr><td><\/td><td>88.2<\/td><td>176.25<\/td><td>88.05<\/td><td>8.82<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr>\n        <\/tbody>\n      <\/table>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <h2 class=\"nia-h2\">Table 2: Drill Hole Details<\/h2>\n    <div class=\"nia-table-wrap\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Drill Hole Details\" tabindex=\"0\">\n      <table class=\"nia-table\">\n        <thead>\n          <tr>\n            <th>Hole ID<\/th><th>Easting (WGS84 Zone 14N)<\/th><th>Northing<\/th><th>Elevation (m)<\/th><th>Azimuth (\u00b0)<\/th><th>Inclination (\u00b0)<\/th><th>Length (m)<\/th>\n          <\/tr>\n        <\/thead>\n        <tbody>\n          <tr><td>AP-25-326<\/td><td>410,055<\/td><td>1,998,093<\/td><td>978.2<\/td><td>180<\/td><td>-55<\/td><td>419.5<\/td><\/tr>\n          <tr><td>AP-25-327<\/td><td>410,105<\/td><td>1,998,141<\/td><td>940.9<\/td><td>180<\/td><td>-55<\/td><td>428.0<\/td><\/tr>\n          <tr><td>AP-25-328<\/td><td>410,086<\/td><td>1,997,923<\/td><td>962.0<\/td><td>80<\/td><td>-55<\/td><td>275.5<\/td><\/tr>\n          <tr><td>AP-25-329<\/td><td>410,162<\/td><td>1,998,070<\/td><td>907.9<\/td><td>180<\/td><td>-60<\/td><td>281.0<\/td><\/tr>\n        <\/tbody>\n      <\/table>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <h2 class=\"nia-h2\">Quality Assurance \/ Quality Control<\/h2>\n    <p>\n      Drill core is PQ size and cut in half, with one half sent to ALS Limited in Zacatecas, Mexico, for preparation and to ALS North Vancouver for analysis.
