The Company secured commitments from two cornerstone investors, with Paradice Investment Management Pty Ltd, in respect of one of its strategies, (the "Paradice fund") committing to invest approximately $3.9 million and Regal Funds Management $3.0 million ("Cornerstone Investors"). The Cornerstone Investors will be substantial shareholders at the completion of Tranche One of the Placement.
Stellar's Executive Chairman Mr Simon Taylor commented:
"This Placement is a fantastic achievement for Stellar, giving the Company an enviable cash position of over $14 million. I would like to thank both the Paradice Fund and Regal Funds Management for their commitments to the Placement and welcome them to the register as substantial holders in Stellar.
"The funds raised will be critical to advancing our world class Heemskirk Tin Project through to development, as we look to accelerate drilling programs to aid our Scoping Study and Pre-Feasibility Study later this year. Tin has seen a major resurgence since the start of the 2024 following supply issues from Myanmar, Indonesia and the DRC, which when coupled with increasing demand has seen the Tin Price push to over $US34,000 per tonne. Our Heemskirk Project is well positioned to diversify the supply chains and fill the looming tin deficit."

The Company has defined a substantial highgrade resource totalling 7.48Mt at 1.04% Sn, containing 77.87kt of tin. This ranks the Heemskirk Project as the highest-grade undeveloped tin resource in Australia and third globally.
The focus for the Company going forward will be to complete exploration and resource drilling at the Heemskirk Project to further grow the resource and improve the confidence by defining more tonnes in the indicated and measured category.
