Stellar Awarded Four Exploration Drilling Co-Funding Grants Totalling $185,000

Stellar Resources Limited (ASX:SRZ, “Stellar” or the “Company) is pleased to announce that under the Fifth Round of the Exploration Drilling Grant Initiative (EDGI) program, the Tasmanian Government has awarded the Company four Exploration Drilling Co-Funding grants totalling $185,000.

The grants awarded to Stellar yesterday are for the following exploration prospects:

  • Montana No. 1 – 2 diamond drill holes

  • Zeehan Western – 2 diamond drill holes

  • Oonah – 2 diamond drill holes

  • Queen No. 4 – 1 diamond drill hole

The EDGI grants awarded will co-fund direct drilling costs of these 7 holes which are part of Stellar’s 9-hole 2021 Phase 1 diamond drilling program targeting new areas of high-grade tin mineralisation.

One rig commenced drilling this week on the Phase 1 program with a second drill rig expected to be mobilised to site next week to drill these 7 holes, starting with one of the Montana No. 1 holes.

These 7 holes will test depth extensions below the historically significant Montana No. 1, Zeehan Western, Oonah and Zeehan Queen No. 4 mines which were amongst the largest silver-lead mines that made Zeehan one of the largest mining centres in Australia in the late 1800’s. These mines had reported production grades of between 20 to 100 oz/t silver hosted in fissure veins ranging from a few cm up to 2.7m wide and mined over lengths of up to 300m. None of these historic silver-lead mines have ever been drill tested, other than Oonah, where a tin resource has been defined above the depth of the planned holes. Drilling will target depths below the historically mined silver-lead lodes where transition to tin mineralisation is expected to have occurred[2] .

EDGI is an important recent initiative of the Tasmanian Government designed to encourage exploration in the state. It represents an acknowledgement by the Tasmanian Government that mining is an important sector and underpins the mining friendly credentials of Tasmania.

Stellar is pleased to have been awarded 4 out of a total of 16 EDGI Round 5 grants awarded by the Tasmanian Government. Stellar’s success reflects the Tasmanian Government’s belief in the Heemskirk Tin Project and its support for Stellar’s proposal to explore for extensions of known tin mineralisation.

Technical Director Gary Fietz commented; “The receipt of these EDGI grants is very timely with drilling having commenced last week and a second rig scheduled to arrive on site next week to commence drilling the seven holes beneath historically significant silver-lead mines which are covered by the grants. We thank the Tasmanian Government for their support and their willingness to co-fund these holes which should provide investors with further confidence that we are on the right track. I look forward to reporting on the success of the program once results from the drilling are available”.
