Placement and Entitlement Offer to Raise $2m

Stellar Resources Limited (ASX: SRZ, "Stellar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that firm commitments have been received from clients of lead manager, Taylor Collison to raise approximately $2.179 million (before costs) ("Capital Raising"). The Capital Raising has been structured as a placement raising $0.3 million ("Placement"), followed by a fully underwritten, Non-Renounceable Entitlement Offer ("Entitlement Offer") to raise approximately a further $1.879 million.

Placement

The Company has received binding commitments for a placement of 27,272,727 shares at the Issue Price of $0.011 (1.1 cents) per share to raise $300,000 (before costs) from sophisticated, professional and other exempt investors. The issue price of $0.011 represents a discount of 35% to the Company's 30-day VWAP of $0.017 (1.7 cents) as at 10 September 2020.

Settlement of the placement shares is due tomorrow (Tuesday, 15 September). The placement shares will be issued within the Company's existing 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Non-Renounceable Entitlement Offer

The Company is also undertaking a fully underwritten, Non-Renounceable Entitlement Offer which will offer eligible shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for two (2) new fully paid ordinary shares for every five (5) existing fully paid ordinary shares held at an issue price of $0.010 (1.0 cent) per share, which represents a discount of 41% respectively to the Company's 30-day VWAP of $0.017 (1.7 cents) as at 10 September 2020 ("Issue Price"). Taylor Collison has received binding commitments from its underwriters and have confirmed that the Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten.

The Entitlement Offer will result in the issue of 187,994,800 shares to raise approximately $1,879,948 (before costs). The Entitlement Offer will be offered to all shareholders with registered addresses in Australia and New Zealand who hold shares as at 7.00pm (AEST) on the record date being Thursday, 17 September 2020.

The Underwriter, being Taylor Collison has agreed to take up any shortfall shares under the Entitlement Offer, accordingly no additional shares will be offered or issued to the eligible shareholders.

All of Stellar's Directors will take up their full entitlements under the Entitlement Offer, through their nominee entities. Additionally, Stellar's Directors, Mr Simon O'Loughlin, Mr Simon Taylor and Mr Thomas Whiting, have agreed to sub-underwrite the Entitlement Offer to a combined total amount of approximately $120,000, through their nominee entities. Mr Simon O'Loughlin, Mr Simon Taylor and Mr Thomas Whiting have waived any entitlement to receive fees from the Underwriter in respect of their sub-underwriting.

Funds raised pursuant to the Placement and Entitlement Offer will be used to facilitate funding of the Company's exploration and minerals projects and for general working capital requirements of the company. A key part of this is expected to be funding of the Company's North East Tasmania gold exploration program subject to granting of the 10 Exploration Licences applied for on 10 September 2020.

New shares issued under the Placement and Entitlement Offer will rank equally with the shares already on issue and the Company will apply to the ASX for quotation of the new shares.
