Zacatecas Silver to Acquire Multi-Asset Portfolio from Heliostar Metals

Zacatecas Silver Corp. has signed a definitive option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in four exploration properties in Mexico from Heliostar Metals, strengthening its position in the precious metals sector.

The agreement, announced on June 8, 2026, covers the Cumaro, La Lola, Oso Negro and Ejutla properties located in Sonora and Oaxaca. Through its subsidiary Desarrollos Mineros Zacatecas Silver, the company will gain access to a high-grade, multi-asset exploration portfolio. This acquisition aligns with Zacatecas Silver's strategy to expand its resource base in Mexico, a key mining jurisdiction.

For precious metals traders, this deal highlights ongoing consolidation in the silver and gold exploration space. As silver prices remain supported by industrial demand and monetary uncertainty, companies with strong project pipelines may attract investor interest.
