[{"type":"text","content":"Heliostar Reports Multiple Hits at Aquila, Including 6.51 G/T Gold Over 3 Metres at the Unga Project, AlaskaVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 7, 2021) - Heliostar Metals Limited (TSXV: HSTR) (OTCQX: HSTXF) (FSE: RGG1) (\"Heliostar\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce results from the first seven Reverse Circulation (RC) holes completed at the Aquila target in 2021, part of the large-scale, multi target Unga project, Alaska.The 2021 drilling focused on the Amethyst Vein with these results expanding the footprint of Aquila both along strike and at depth from last year's discovery hole (see news release dated February 23rd, 2021). Assays for six additional holes from Aquila remain pending.HighlightsTwo zones of gold mineralization over 220 metres of strike, both open along strike and to depth with three of the seven reported holes intersecting 5-10 grams per tonne (g/t) gold interceptsAQRC21-09 6.51 g/t gold over 3.05 m from 28.96 metres (m) downhole;AQRC21-01 2.45 g/t gold over 7.62 m from 60.96 m including;9.91 g/t gold over 1.52 m from 65.53m AQRC21-05 5.57 g/t gold over 1.52 m from 73.15 m;Note: All numbers are rounded and widths represent drilled lengths. True thickness is estimated at 70-90% of drilled thickness.Heliostar VP of Exploration, Sam Anderson, commented: \"The Aquila target is delivering with these results defining another centre of mineralization at Unga. The phase one 2021 program has now defined shallow gold footprints over large areas at both Apollo and now Aquila, and assays remain pending for these and other targets at the project. The geological interpretation is that Aquilla is just the top of a mineralized zone and our next step is to undertake diamond drilling to define the full extent of mineralization at depth and along strike. Unga is an extremely large, 250 square kilometre, land package and this current drill program is designed to rapidly test the highest probability targets with RC drilling ahead of a systematic diamond drilling program with a goal of growing the projects existing resource to greater than 1,000,000 ounces of gold.\"Aquila TargetThe Aquila Target is a zone of outcropping epithermal quartz veins that lies within the Shumigan vein corridor, and is one of the four highest priority targets on the Unga project. Heliostar chose this area for first-pass drill...
