The Heliostar Metals Ltd. (TSXV: HSTR,OTC:HSTXF) (OTCQX: HSTXF) (FSE: RGG1) (‘Heliostar’ or the ‘Company’) Annual General & Special Meeting (‘AGM’) is scheduled for November 26th, 2025. The Company’s Chairman, Jacques Vaillancourt and director Ken Booth will step down at the AGM, and Mr James Perry is proposed to succeed Mr. Vaillancourt as Chairman.

Heliostar’s Chairman, Jacques Vaillancourt, commented on his retirement from the board. ‘The Company has changed immensely from my initial involvement and investment. It has grown and evolved from a portfolio of prospective exploration assets in Alaska and Nevada to now producing gold from two mines in Mexico, La Colorada and San Agustin. That alone would be a significant corporate achievement, but these producing mines are complemented by a very exciting development portfolio of 100% owned projects, which include Ana Paula, Cerro del Gallo and San Antonio. All of this is evidence of the talent, competence and the day-in and day-out diligence of the management team, led by Charles Funk. I leave a Company operationally, financially and geologically stronger than ever and in very good hands.’

Charles Funk, President and & CEO, stated, ‘I wish to thank Jacques and Ken for their leadership and guidance as we have built Heliostar over the last five years. The Company has come a long way, and their contributions to this growth have been significant. As we continue to expand production towards our goal of 500,000 ounces of annual production by the end of this decade, we look forward to welcoming James Perry to the Company’s board as Heliostar’s proposed new Chairman.’

James Perry is proposed to succeed Mr. Vaillancourt as Chairman and will be put forward for approval by the shareholders at the upcoming AGM. Mr. Perry is currently President of Sweetwater Royalties, a base metals, industrial minerals and renewable energy royalty Company based in Denver, Colorado. Sweetwater, one of the largest landowners in the United States, is a privately held company established in 2020 by Orion Resource Partners. Mr. Perry has extensive mining and resources experience across Latin America, having previously served as Business Development Manager, as well as Corporate Counsel at Newcrest Mining, one of the world’s largest gold mining companies, headquartered in Australia. Newcrest was acquired for US$19 billion by Newmont Mining in 2023. Mr. Perry attended the London School of Economics, receiving an M.Sc. in History and International Relations, as well as earning a Bachelor of Laws from Bond University.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This news release includes certain ‘Forward-Looking Statements’ within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and ‘forward-looking information’ under applicable Canadian securities laws. When used in this news release, the words ‘anticipate’, ‘believe’, ‘estimate’, ‘expect’, ‘target’, ‘plan’, ‘forecast’, ‘may’, ‘would’, ‘could’, ‘schedule’ and similar words or expressions, identify forward-looking statements or information. These forward-looking statements or information relate to, among other things, the Company’s annual production goals.

Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information relating to the terms and completion of the Facility, any future mineral production, liquidity, and future exploration plans are based on management’s reasonable assumptions, estimates, expectations, analyses and opinions, which are based on management’s experience and perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, and other factors that management believes are relevant and reasonable in the circumstances, but which may prove to be incorrect. Assumptions have been made regarding, among other things, the receipt of necessary approvals, price of metals; no escalation in the severity of public health crises or ongoing military conflicts; costs of exploration and development; the estimated costs of development of exploration projects; and the Company’s ability to operate in a safe and effective manner and its ability to obtain financing on reasonable terms.

These statements reflect the Company’s respective current views with respect to future events and are necessarily based upon a number of other assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, political, and social uncertainties and contingencies. Many factors, both known and unknown, could cause actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from the results, performance or achievements that are or may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or forward-looking information and the Company has made assumptions and estimates based on or related to many of these factors. Such factors include, without limitation: precious metals price volatility; risks associated with the conduct of the Company’s mining activities in foreign jurisdictions; regulatory, consent or permitting delays; risks relating to reliance on the Company’s management team and outside contractors; risks regarding exploration and mining activities; the Company’s inability to obtain insurance to cover all risks, on a commercially reasonable basis or at all; currency fluctuations; risks regarding the failure to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; risks relating to project financing and equity issuances; risks and unknowns inherent in all mining projects, including the inaccuracy of reserves and resources, metallurgical recoveries and capital and operating costs of such projects; contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties; laws and regulations governing the environment, health and safety; the ability of the communities in which the Company operates to manage and cope with the implications of public health crises; the economic and financial implications of public health crises, ongoing military conflicts and general economic factors to the Company; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development activities; employee relations, labour unrest or unavailability; the Company’s interactions with surrounding communities; the Company’s ability to successfully integrate acquired assets; the speculative nature of exploration and development, including the risks of diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; stock market volatility; conflicts of interest among certain directors and officers; lack of liquidity for shareholders of the Company; litigation risk; and the factors identified under the caption ‘Risk Factors’ in the Company’s public disclosure documents. Readers are cautioned against attributing undue certainty to forward-looking statements or forward-looking information. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements or forward-looking information to reflect changes in assumptions or changes in circumstances or any other events affecting such statements or information, other than as required by applicable law.

Luc Lessard, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation commented: ‘ The concurrent extensions of the Corporation’s senior debts demonstrate the strong relationship and long-standing support of OR Royalties and Glencore to Falco and the development of the Horne 5 Project. Such extensions provide the Corporation with additional flexibility to pursue the permitting and development of the Horne 5 Project.’

Amendments to the OR Royalties Loan

In consideration for the extension of the maturity date of the OR Royalties Loan, the OR Royalties Loan will also be amended effective as of December 31, 2025, in order for (i) the accrued interest on the existing OR Royalties Loan to be capitalized such that the principal amount of the amended OR Royalties Loan will be approximately $26,098,521, (ii) the conversion price to be maintained at $0.45 per Common Share, and (iii) the interest rate to be maintained at 9% (collectively, the ‘ OR Royalties Loan Amendments ‘). The 17,690,237 warrants of the Corporation currently held by OR Royalties (the ‘ Existing OR Royalties Warrants ‘), each exercisable for one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.58 per Common Share, will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms until their expiry on December 31, 2025. In consideration for the extension of the maturity date of the OR Royalties Loan, the Corporation will issue to OR Royalties, on December 31, 2025, 19,332,237 warrants (the ‘ New OR Royalties Warrants ‘), each exercisable at any time from and after January 1, 2026, for one common share of Falco (the ‘ Common Shares ‘) at an exercise price of $0.58 per Common Share and expiring on December 31, 2026.

Amendments to the Glencore Debenture

In consideration for the extension of the maturity date of the Glencore Debenture, the Glencore Debenture will also be amended effective as of December 31, 2025 (the ‘ Amended Glencore Debenture ‘) in order for (i) the accrued interest on the existing Glencore Debenture up to December 31, 2025, to be capitalized such that the principal amount of the amended Glencore Debenture will be approximately $15,433,754, (ii) the conversion price to be maintained at $0.37 per Common Share, and (iii) the interest rate to be maintained at 10% (collectively, the ‘ Glencore Debenture Amendments ‘). The 19,424,944 Common Share purchase warrants currently held by Glencore (the ‘ Existing Glencore Warrants ‘) will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms until their expiry on December 31, 2025. In consideration for the extension of the maturity date of the Glencore Debenture, the Corporation will issue to Glencore, on December 31, 2025, 21,381,422 warrants (the ‘ New Glencore Warrants ‘), each exercisable at any time from and after January 1, 2026, at an exercise price of (i) $0.38 per Common Share for 15,061,158 of the New Glencore Warrants and (ii) $0.42 per Common Share for the remaining 6,320,264 New Glencore Warrants, and expiring on December 31, 2026.

The OR Royalties Loan Amendments and the issuance of the New OR Royalties Warrants (the ‘ OR Royalties Transactions ‘) are considered ‘related party transactions’ under Regulation 61-101 respecting Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (‘ Regulation 61-101 ‘). The OR Royalties Transactions are exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation pursuant to section 5.5(b) of Regulation 61-101. However, Falco is required to obtain minority approval for the OR Royalties Transactions as none of the exemptions contained under Regulation 61-101 are currently available to the Corporation.

Closing of the OR Royalties Transactions is conditional upon (i) obtaining minority approval of the shareholders of the Corporation, excluding the Common Shares held by the directors and officers of OR Royalties, to be sought at the special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation to be held on December 15, 2025 (the ‘ Shareholders’ Meeting ‘), (ii) approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and (iii) concurrent closing of the Glencore Debenture Amendments and the issuance of the New Glencore Warrants on the terms described herein.

Closing of the Glencore Debenture Amendments and the issuance of the New Glencore Warrants is conditional upon (i) approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and (ii) concurrent closing of the OR Royalties Transactions on the terms described herein. Subject to satisfaction of such conditions, closing of the OR Royalties Loan Amendments and the Glencore Debenture Amendments, and closing of the OR Royalties Transactions is expected to occur concurrently on December 31, 2025. Additional information will be included in the management proxy circular to be filed at www.sedarplus.ca.

Prior to the transactions contemplated by this press release, OR Royalties held the OR Royalties Loan in the principal amount of $23,881,821, which is convertible into 53,070,713 Common Shares and also held 17,690,237 Existing OR Royalties Warrants, representing approximately 17.01% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a partially diluted basis assuming the conversion in full of the OR Royalties Loan and the exercise in full of the 17,690,237 Existing OR Royalties Warrants. Immediately following closing, on a partially diluted basis assuming the conversion in full of the OR Royalties Loan and the exercise in full of the New OR Royalties Warrants, OR Royalties would have beneficial ownership of, or control and direction over 77,328,950 Common Shares, representing approximately 18.30% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding.

Markets don’t usually hit record highs, risk falling into bearish territory, and spring back to new highs within six months. But that’s what happened in 2025.

In this special mid-year recap, Grayson Roze sits down with David Keller, CMT, to show how disciplined routines, price-based signals, and a calm process helped them ride the whipsaw instead of getting tossed by it. You’ll see what really happened under the surface, how investor psychology drove the swings, and the exact StockCharts tools they leaned on to stay objective. 

If you’re focused on protecting capital, generating income, and sleeping well at night while still capturing the upside, this is a must-watch. Discover which charts deserve your attention now, what to ignore, and how to prep for the back half of 2025. 

This video premiered on July 23, 2025. Click on the above image to watch on our dedicated Grayson Roze page on StockCharts TV.

You can view previously recorded videos from Grayson at this link.

The chart of Meta Platforms, Inc. (META) has completed a roundtrip from the February high around $740 to the April low at $480 and all the way back again.  Over the last couple weeks, META has now pulled back from its retest of all-time highs, leaving investors to wonder what may come next.

Is this the beginning of a new downtrend phase for META?  Or just a brief pullback before a new uptrend phase propels META to new all-time highs?

Today we’ll look at two potential scenarios, including the double top pattern and the cup and handle pattern, and share which technical indicators and approaches could help us determine which path plays out into August.

The double top scenario basically means that the late July retest of the previous all-time high was the end of the recent uptrend phase.  The double top pattern is literally when a major resistance level is set and then retested.  The implication is that a lack of willing buyers means the uptrend is exhausted, and there is nowhere to go but down.

While the 21-day exponential moving average is currently in play for META, I would say that a break below the 50-day moving average could confirm this as the correct scenario.  If that smoothing mechanism does not hold, then the price action would imply less of a pullback and more like the beginning of a real distribution phase.

What is META pulls back but then resumes an uptrend phase, leading META to another new all-time high?  That would result in a confirmed cup and handle pattern, created by a large rounded bottoming pattern followed by a brief pullback.  The key to this pattern is the “rim” of the cup, which sits right at $740 for META.

Given the pullback META has demonstrated so far in July, I would say that a break above the $740 level would basically confirm a bullish cup and handle pattern.  That would suggest much more upside potential for META, as the stock would literally go into previously uncharted territory.

So how can we determine which scenario is more likely to play out?  This is where we need to incorporate more technical indicators into the discussion, as a way to further validate and confirm our investment thesis.

Just to review, I think a break above $740 would confirm a bullish cup and handle pattern.  I would also say that a break below the $680 level, which would represent a move below the 50-day moving average as well as the June swing lows, would basically confirm a bearish double top pattern.

We can also use the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to help determine whether META remains in a bullish trend phase.  During bull phases, the RSI rarely gets below 40, because buyers usually step in to “buy the dips” and keep the momentum fairly constructive.  So if the price would break down, and the RSI would not hold that crucial 40 level, that could mean a bearish outlook is warranted.

Finally, we can use volume-based indicators to assess whether moves in the price are supported by stronger volume readings.  Here I’ve included the Accumulation/Distribution Line, which tracks the trend in daily volume readings over time.  We can see that the high in July resulted in a divergence, as the A/D line was trending lower.  If the A/D line would break below its June and July lows, marked by a dashed red line, that would represent a bearish volume reading for META.

Technical analysis is less about predicting the future, and more about determining the most probable scenarios based on our analysis of trend, momentum, and volume.  I hope this discussion shows how the outlook for META can be easily determined and tracked using the best practices of technical analysis!

The S&P 500 ($SPX) just logged its fifth straight trading box breakout, which means that, of the five trading ranges the index has experienced since the April lows, all have been resolved to the upside.

How much longer can this last? That’s been the biggest question since the massive April 9 rally. Instead of assuming the market is due to roll over, it’s been more productive to track price action and watch for potential changes along the way. So far, drawdowns have been minimal, and breakouts keep occurring. Nothing in the price action hints at a lasting change — yet.

While some are calling this rally “historic,” we have a recent precedent. Recall that from late 2023 through early 2024, the index had a strong start and gave way to a consistent, steady trend.

From late October 2023 through March 2024, the S&P 500 logged seven consecutive trading box breakouts. That streak finally paused with a pullback from late March to early April, which, as we now know, was only a temporary hiccup. Once the bid returned, the S&P 500 went right back to carving new boxes and climbing higher.

New 52-Week Highs Finally Picking Up

If there’s been one gripe about this rally, it’s that the number of new highs within the index has lagged. As we’ve discussed before, among all the internal breadth indicators available, new highs almost always lag — that’s normal. What we really want to see is whether the number of new highs begins to exceed prior peaks as the market continues to rise, which it has, as shown by the blue line in the chart below.

As of Wednesday’s close, 100 S&P 500 stocks were either at new 52-week highs or within 3% of them. That’s a strong base. We expect this number to continue rising as the market climbs, especially if positive earnings reactions persist across sectors.

Even when we get that first day with 100+ S&P 500 stocks making new 52-week highs, though, it might not be the best time to initiate new longs.

The above chart shows that much needs to align for that many stocks to peak in unison, which has historically led to at least a short-term consolidation, if not deeper pullbacks — as highlighted in yellow. Every time is different, of course, but this is something to keep an eye on in the coming weeks.

Trend Check: GoNoGo Still “Go”

The GoNoGo Trend remains in bullish mode, with the recent countertrend signals having yet to trigger a greater pullback.

Active Bullish Patterns

We still have two live bullish upside targets of 6,555 and 6,745, which could be with us for a while going forward. For the S&P 500 to get there, it will need to form new, smaller versions of the trading boxes.

Failed Bearish Patterns

In the chart below, you can view a rising wedge pattern on the recent price action, the third since April. The prior two wedges broke down briefly and did not lead to a major downturn. The largest pullbacks in each case occurred after the S&P 500 dipped below the lower trendline of the pattern.

The deepest drawdown so far is 3.5%, which is not exactly a game-changer. Without downside follow-through, a classic bearish pattern simply can’t be formed, let alone be broken down from.

We’ll continue to monitor these formations as they develop because, at some point, that will change.

Here are some charts that reflect our areas of focus this week at


XLU Leads with New High

Even though the Utilities SPDR (XLU) cannot keep pace with the Technology SPDR (XLK) and Communication Services SPDR (XLC), it is in a leading uptrend. XLU formed a cup-with-handle from November to July and broke to new highs the last two weeks. ETFs hitting new highs are in strong uptrends and should be on our radar.


Metal Mania in 2025

In a tribute to Ozzy, metals are leading the way higher in 2025. The PerfChart below shows year-to-date performance for the continuous futures for 12 commodities. Copper, Platinum and Palladium are up more than 45% year-to-date, while Gold is up 28.38% and Silver is up 35.30%. QQQ is up 10.52% year-to-date, but lagging these metals. The other commodities are mixed.


Multi-Year Highs for Silver and Copper

The next chart shows 11 year bar charts for five metals. Gold broke out in early 2024 and led the metals move with an advance the last 21 months. Silver and copper broke out to multi-year highs. Platinum broke above its 2021 high and Palladium got in the action with an 18 month high. There is a clear message here: metals are moving higher and leading as a group.  


Home Construction Hits Moment of Truth

The Home Construction ETF (ITB) hit its moment of truth as it rose to its falling 40-week SMA. Notice that ITB failed just below this moving average in August 2023. During the 2023-2024 uptrend, the 40-week SMA was more friendly as ITB reversed near this level in October 2023 and June 2024. ITB surged to the falling 40-week SMA in July, but the long-term trend is down and this area could be its nemesis.

Investor Insight

With a seasoned technical team, backing from Inventa Capital, and a district-scale asset in Arizona, Corcel Exploration is positioned to unlock a significant US-based copper-gold system at a time of accelerating demand for energy transition metals.

Overview

Corcel Exploration (CSE:CRCL,OTCQB:CRLEF) is a Vancouver-based mineral exploration company focused on copper and gold discoveries across North America, with a primary focus on Arizona’s Yuma King project. The company is leveraging a combination of historical data, modern geoscience and advanced technology to identify and expand near-surface and buried mineralized systems.

Yuma King project site

Corcel’s approach is centered on disciplined, data-driven exploration. The company’s 2025 work program includes its maiden 2,000-meter diamond drill program, IP surveys and hyperspectral mapping to test priority copper-gold skarn and porphyry targets around the Yuma King mine, Yuma King West and Three Musketeers zones. By validating and extending historical mineralization, Corcel aims to delineate a near-term resource base while unlocking the broader district-scale potential.

The company’s technical leadership team, with decades of discovery experience across the Americas, is supported by Inventa Capital, a proven incubator of successful resource ventures such as Vizsla Silver and Targa Exploration. This strategic partnership provides Corcel with corporate infrastructure, capital markets expertise and exploration discipline, giving it a competitive edge in executing its exploration plans efficiently and effectively.

Company Highlights

  • Flagship Yuma King Project (Arizona): District-scale, 3,200-hectare land package with 515 federal mining claims in the historic Ellsworth mining district.
  • High-grade Historical Production: 8,600 tons averaging 2.3 percent copper, 0.3 oz silver per ton, and 0.03 oz gold per ton from the past-producing Yuma mine.
  • Dual Mineralization System: Copper-gold skarn mineralization with potential for a buried copper-molybdenum-gold porphyry system.
  • Strong Recent Results: Rock samples grading up to 17.15 grams per ton gold and 11.6 percent copper, confirming widespread surface mineralization.
  • Advanced Drill-ready Targets: 1.6 km skarn corridor open along strike and down-dip; multiple untested anomalies from geophysics and soil sampling.
  • Experienced Leadership: Led by a technically strong management team with deep experience in discovery, development, and capital markets.
  • Strategic US Positioning: Located near infrastructure and in the same state as one of only three US copper smelters.

Key Project

Yuma King

The Yuma King copper-gold project covers a 3,200-hectare district-scale property in the historic Ellsworth mining district of west-central Arizona, approximately 150 km northwest of Phoenix. The property hosts the past-producing Yuma mine, where operations between 1940 and 1963 yielded high-grade copper and gold ore.

Yuma King property overview

Corcel has defined three primary target zones within the project: the Yuma King Mine zone, hosting near-surface and down-dip skarn mineralization open along a 1.6 km corridor; Yuma King West, characterized by high-grade gold-copper rock samples and coincident copper-gold-molybdenum soil anomalies; and the Three Musketeers area, marked by strong magnetic destruction and soil anomalies indicative of a potential upper porphyry environment.

Exploration Targets and Results

Skarn and Replacement Mineralization: Copper-gold skarn zones with oxide and sulfide mineralization remain open in multiple directions. Historical drilling intersected intervals such as 45.4 m grading 0.78 percent copper, 0.53 grams per ton (g/t) gold, and 6.3 g/t silver.

Drilling at Yuma King in 2006

Porphyry Potential: Geological and geochemical data indicate a buried copper-molybdenum-gold porphyry system, with prior holes intersecting up to 395 ft of 753 parts per million (ppm) copper and 184 ppm molybdenum. Magnetite destructive alteration was located in the Three Musketeers area and is associated with strong gold and copper in soils and rocks, indicating the potential upper levels of a porphyry system.

Surface Sampling: 2,263 soil and 303 rock chip samples have defined 1.2 km-long copper-gold-molybdenum anomalies, with rock assays up to 17.15 g/t gold and 11.6 percent copper, identifying multiple new high-priority zones.

Untested Targets: The Three Musketeers and Yuma King West zones host strong magnetic features and soil anomalies under shallow cover, indicating potential extensions of the mineralized system.

2025 Program: Phase 1 drilling (2,000 m) and 8.5 km of IP surveys are planned to test these targets, marking the first comprehensive, data-integrated exploration in the district in over 70 years
