  • Stellar’s flagship Heemskirk Tin Project is the highest grade undeveloped tin deposit of significance listed on the ASX

  • Stellar owns 100% of all tin properties including Heemskirk

  • Five underground metal mines, three currently operating, within 30km of Heemskirk – significant sunk capital in associated infrastructure

  • Port of Burnie, 150km to the north, services all west coast mines and will provide access to world markets

  • Renewable power and water are nearby and accessible

  • Competitive market for services, mining and processing inputs and labour exists in Tasmania’s NW

  • Satellite projects at St Dizier and Mt Razorback add potential value to Heemskirk at low cost

ADVANTAGES OF USING TIN IN EV AND PV

==> picture [139 x 79] intentionally omitted <==

Increases energy density in battery anodes = increased battery life University of Alberta, Cornell University, Furukawa Group, University of Texas

Improves conductivity of silicon and graphite anodes = improved cycle times Nissan, Daimler, Samsung applied for patents

==> picture [136 x 79] intentionally omitted <==

Stabilises lithium and sodium anodes in solid state batteries = improved safety Toyota, Japanese Car Industry Research JV, Penn State University

Tin nano-particles for SnS, SnSC and SnCoC anodes = reduced battery cost China’s largest car company BYD conducting research

Superior performance in PV straps = easier and cheaper to apply than silver EI Dupont, Samsung, Hitachi applied for patents

T I N S U P P L Y

MYANMAR REPEATING THE PERU EXPERIENCE?

  • ITA expect Myanmar production to fall by 12kt or 18% in 2018 – the first year of decline since 2012

  • Ore grade has fallen from 3.0%+ at the surface to 1.5% underground

  • Mining and processing costs are up materially due to the higher proportion of hard-rock underground ore

  • Limited exploration has failed to deliver new low-cost sources of supply

  • Myanmar can be compared to Peru’s San Rafael mine where production halved from its peak of 42ktpa as the mine matured and grade declined

The mining method has gone from easily accessible pits in 2013……. to significantly more expensive underground adits in 2018

T I N S U P P L Y

WHERE IS THE NEW SUPPLY?

  • Myanmar’s strong production growth occurred because of proximity to smelting facilities in China, access to Chinese capital and cultural ties between miners and smelters – a situation unlikely to be repeated

  • Inner Mongolia is the next growth area for China but it plans to add just 8% to domestic production over 5 years

  • DRC is expected to add 9,000t by 2020 – but it took exceptional grade (4.34% tin) to finance the Bisie development

  • No other significant projects in the development queue are currently financed suggesting an impending pause in greenfield supply growth beyond 2020

  • Underground development comparable to Renison Tin situated 18km to NE

  • Opportunity to stage development through sequential mining of deposits and a modular processing plant

  • PFS level mining and metallurgy studies and a fast start optimization completed

  • JORC Resource of 1.2mt @ 0.7% tin

  • Similar style of mineralization to that mined at Mt Bishoff

  • Potential for low cost open pit development (SR of 4:1)

  • All weather road runs within 1km of St Dizier and connects the deposit to a proposed processing plant at Zeehan

  • Mt Razorback contains two small historical tin mines – Razorback and Grand Prize and a tailings dam

  • Tailings have potential for upgrading to saleable product

  • Historical diamond drilling and trench sampling of the Razorback pit floor have identified ore grade tin mineralization down to at least 100m

  • Mining Leases granted for 12 years

  • Significant exploration potential around known deposits, below historical Pb/Ag mines and along major structures

  • Geological and structural setting is similar to that at Renison Tin

  • 3km structure extends from Razorback to Grand Prize and contains untested tin in soil targets

  • 10km via existing roads to Heemskirk or Renison

  • Potential to recover cassiterite from tailings

  • Potential to define a mineral resource below the Razorback open pit

  • Exploration potential along the Razorback and Grand Prize Faults

  • Untested soil geochemistry over the 3km Razorback fault

  • Geology and structure similar to Renison

MONTANA FLATS: 2KM LATERAL EXPLORATION E L 1 3 / 2 0 1 8 M O N T A N A F L A T S

  • EL13/2018 lies immediately north of the Heemskirk tin deposits

  • It adds 3 km of exploration strike length along tin-mineralising

  • fault structures

  • All tin deposits and major silver deposits lie along or between the Oonah, Montana and associated faults

  • Oonah tin deposit added to Stellar’s portfolio

  • Zeehan Western – second largest silver mine in the Zeehan field added to the portfolio

  • Silver miners ignored tin – exploration potential around Zeehan Western and other silver mines remains untested

HEEMSKIRK: 500m+ VERTICAL EXPLORATION EXPLORATION COULD INCREASE HEEMSKIRK 3X

  • Helimag data supports the gravity model with depth to granite source rocks > 1.0km

  • No granite intersected in any

  • historical or recent drill holes

  • No drilling below a depth of 500m from surface

  • Significant exploration potential in

  • the 500m vertical zone between the

granite and the deepest drill hole

  • Renison has more than 6,000 drill holes and 50 years of mining to identify its resource

  • Heemskirk has only 150 diamond drill holes from surface with most in the top 300m

RENISON IS WHAT HEEMSKIRK COULD BECOME

  • Renison, Australia’s oldest and largest tin mine is located 18km to the NE of the Heemskirk Tin deposits

  • Heemskirk and Renison share the same geology and structural setting

  • Renison started with a 5 year mine life in 1968 treating 0.8mtpa ie a 4.0mt reserve

  • Successful underground exploration has allowed the mine to operate for 50 years, treat 23mt of ore and still have 15mt in resources

  • The Heemskirk deposits are shown superimposed on the Renison long section and at 72kt of tin represent just 20% of the tin found at Renison

TARGETS FOR 2019

Explore Razorback Fault – define exploration drill targets from soil geochemistry

Metallurgical testing – Razorback tailings and ore in pit floor

Drilling of Razorback targets – 3 to 4 hole program

Review development options and completion of a DPEMP for St Dizier tin project

Fund surface drilling or exploration decline to define a Measured and Indicated Resource at Heemskirk Tin

Complete a definitive feasibility study and a DPEMP for Heemskirk Tin

THE INVESTMENT PROPOSITION

Investment in the best tin project in Australia – highest grade undeveloped tin project listed on the Australian Stock Exchange

Low cost investment – market capitalization undervalues Stellar’s tin assets

Significant exploration potential – both laterally and at depth

Opportunity to invest in the next Rension Tin

Tin is emerging as an energy metal – second generation battery raw material demand to drive opportunities for tin and higher tin prices
