QUEEN HILL RESOURCE UP 41%, HEEMSKIRK TIN INVENTORY OVER 100kt

Severn Mineral Resource Update Due Next Quarter

Stellar Resources Limited ( ASX: SRZ ) (“ Stellar ” or “ the Company ”) is pleased to report an updated Mineral Resource Estimate ( MRE ) in accordance with the JORC Code (2012) for the Queen Hill Deposit, that forms part of the total Mineral Resource inventory at its flagship Heemskirk Tin Project in the tier-1 mining jurisdiction of western Tasmania.

Highlights

  • An updated MRE at Queen Hill (using a 0.40% lower cutoff) has estimated a:

  • 41% increase in Total Mineral Resource to 4.11Mt @ 0.85% Sn for 34,900t of contained tin.

  • o 46% increase in Indicated Resource to 2.26Mt @ 0.94% Sn for 21,190t of contained tin.

  • Total Mineral Resource increased to 9.5 Mt @ 0.93% Sn for 88,100t of contained tin for the Heemskirk Tin Project and is expected to grow with the addition of an updated MRE at the Severn deposit due next quarter.

  • With the increase in contained tin at Queen Hill, Stellar now has a Mineral Resource inventory base of over 100kt of contained tin across its Heemskirk Tin Project and nearby St Dizier satellite deposit.

  • The Heemskirk Tin Project continues to rank as the highest-grade undeveloped tin project in Australia and the third highest-grade globally of peer company projects .

  • The Company anticipates reporting an updated MRE for the Severn deposit and completion of the PFS in the June quarter 2026 . These timelines may change if drilling continues to deliver success with additional holes added to maximise the Resource size to be used in the PFS.

  • The updated MRE was completed by independent technical consultant Haren Consulting and incorporates an updated Queen Hill MRE completed utilising new drilling and using a broader mineralised envelope incorporating material down to a 0.1% Sn grade to allow longer range geological interpretation and incorporation of the impacts of ore sorting on studies being completed as part of the PFS.

Stellar Resources’ Managing Director, Simon Taylor, commented:

"Breaking the 100,000-tonne mark for contained tin across the Heemskirk Tin Project is a major milestone for Stellar Resources, and we are thrilled with the results from the Queen Hill Resource update. The project continues to demonstrate its outstanding high-grade characteristics, allowing us to optimise our Resource models to capitalise on the prevailing strength of global tin prices.

“With the Severn MRE update due next quarter, we are confident our total inventory will continue to expand in both total size and Indicated category tonnes. All of these factors are coming together to form a high-value Resource base for our upcoming Prefeasibility Study on track for completion in the first half of 2026."

Geology and Geological Interpretation

The Queen Hill and Severn deposits are hosted within the Proterozoic Crimson Creek Formation and Success Creek Group. The younger Crimson Creek Formation is comprised largely of basaltic volcaniclastics, with the underlying Success Creek Group including largely turbiditic shales, siltstones and sandstones, as well as basalts, and a sequence of Cryogenian siliciclastic, pyritic and dolomitic sediments. Underlying the Success Creek Group is the Oonah Formation, a regionally widespread sequence of rhythmically bedded turbidites, with some basaltic intrusions.

The Project area is cut by several structures, including a series of ESE striking, sub-vertical ones that may have controlled the overall mineralising system and acted as feeders to the mineralisation. These may also represent reactivated syn-depositional structures.

Also important are interpreted syn-mineralisation thrusts, coincident with key rheological contrast between units, and which localise mineralisation in dilation zones.

The overall mineralisation style is classified as a vein style and locally high temperature carbonate replacement tin deposit related to large-scale granitoid intrusive activity during the Devonian. However, different subsets of mineralisation styles are present, including structurally controlled vein hosted, and locally, high temperature replacement (generally of more dolomitic units). Tin mineralisation is hosted within sulphide and quartz-sulphide vein, semi-massive and massive sulphide zones, with the dominant tin mineral being the oxide, cassiterite, and main sulphides including pyrite and pyrrhotite. Galena (lead/silver) and accessory sphalerite (zinc) are found higher up in the system, with original mining in the 1880s being for lead and silver.

The system is marked by an extensive alteration halo, dominated by sericite, chlorite and carbonate, with the alteration mineralogy also strongly influenced by rock type. Closer to veins, structures and mineralised zones alteration gets more intense, with silicification, Fe-rich chlorite and iron carbonates, such as siderite, being common. Other alteration minerals include tourmaline, biotite, fluorite and topaz in higher temperature zones.

Both the Severn and Queen Hill deposits are north trending with moderate to steeply ESE dipping and NE plunging orientations. Queen Hill, which is located to the NW of Severn, is up-dip, and lower in the stratigraphy.

Severn has a strike length of over 500m, a thickness of 3-50m and down dip extent of over 700m. The deposit comprises of 3 sub-parallel main zones of mineralisation within a broader weakly and variably mineralised halo. The lowest, and largest zone generally sits at the contact between an underlying silicified sandstone (representing the upper part of the Success Creek Group) and the overlying Crimson Creek Formation. The contact is interpreted to provide a key structural and rheological control to fluid flow and mineralisation emplacement.

Queen Hill, which has the same overall orientation to Severn, has a strike length of over 450m, a thickness of 2-30m and down dip extent over 500m. The Queen Hill tin deposit comprises one main and a few subsidiary zones. The main zone is largely located at the contact between basalts and overlying turbiditic slumped sediments of the Slumped Black Shale, within the Success Creek Group. As for Severn, the contact and rheological contrast between the different rock types has focussed structures, controlling fluid flow and mineralisation, in a largely structurally controlled lode style of mineralisation.

Basis of Updated Mineral Resource Estimate

The updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) has been completed on the Queen Hill deposit by Independent Technical Consultant, Elizabeth Haren from Haren Consulting Pty. Ltd.

Drilling techniques

The Heemskirk Tin Project has been wholly delineated by diamond drilling over numerous drilling campaigns between the 1960s through to the present. Drill core has been predominantly of NQ and HQ size with minor BQ holes. A total of 256 holes have been completed for a total of over 77,000m with resource drilling ongoing.

Since the 2023 MRE at Heemskirk, 21 holes and wedges have been completed at Queen Hill for a total of 7,780m of diamond drilling, which form the basis for this Queen Hill MRE update.

A further 14 holes and wedges have been undertaken at Severn for 5,704m with drilling continuing. An updated MRE for Severn will be provided upon completion of the current drill program.

Sampling and sub-sampling techniques

Sampling was historically by filleting and more recently by half and quarter core being sampled via diamond saw. All sampling by Stellar Resources has been via diamond core cut half and quarter core. Sample intervals are predominantly 1m in length and routinely sampled to geological boundaries. Sample weights range from 1-4kg depending on the core size utilised.

Dry bulk density measurements are undertaken on each interval from representative core samples via Archimedes method.

Sample analysis methods

All tin results utilised within the resource estimate have been derived from XRF analysis which is considered a whole rock analysis.

From acquisition of the project in 2010 by Stellar Resources analysis has been undertaken by ALS Laboratories using a fused disc XRF technique. XRF is considered a total analysis technique providing the whole contained elemental content within the sample. XRF analysis for Sn, Fe and S is routinely undertaken.

In addition, a partial digest (Aqua regia) has been utilised to provide an estimate of Sn not contained as the tin oxide cassiterite.

Estimation methodology

Resource estimation has been undertaken utilising a mineralisation model incorporating material down to a 0.1% Sn grade to allow for modelling and incorporation of ore sorting and the impact of increased metal prices through the PFS study. There are cases where sub 0.1% Sn grades were included which occurred mainly in a thickened area of domain 310. In this area it appears the veins anastomose closely. In this case, a categorical estimate of two indicator grades at 0.1% Sn and 0.3% Sn was applied to create hard-boundary internal sub-domains. This ensured smearing of high-grade Sn into low grade and commensurate dilution of high-grade Sn by low grades was minimised.

Samples were flagged with the individual mineralisation domains, and sub-domains when present, and composited to 1m lengths honouring the domain boundaries. Statistical and geostatistical analysis were used to understand the characteristics of the mineralisation. Statistical analysis showed the populations in each domain to have approximately log-normal distribution shapes. Sn grades were not required to be topcut. Where outlier grades in ancillary elements were identified appropriate top-cuts were applied. Top-cuts were generally not severe with relatively few composites affected.

Continuity analysis was performed on individual domains where a robust variogram model was able to be interpreted. In other cases, domains were grouped by genetic, statistical and orientation characteristics to interpret robust variogram models. Poorly informed domains borrowed parameters from generally statistically and genetically similar domains or groups. The reduction in nominal vein Sn threshold to 0.1% from the previous estimates 0.4% improved the structure and robustness of the variogram models. The Sn variogram model was used for estimation of all other variables including density.

The models were constructed using a parent block size of 5mE by 10mN by 5mRL; with sub‐cells down to 0.50mE by 0.50mN by 0.50mRL. The models were rotated to 023°. The sub-cell size was selected to accurately represent the geometry and volumes of the mineralisation, geology and weathering domains. The parent cell size was selected based on the drill hole data spacing and its relationship to the complexity of mineralisation and continuity.

Ordinary Kriging was used to estimate grades and density in all domains, and sub-domains when present, using the parent block size. Estimation searches and number of samples used were determined by iterative testing and validation of the estimates. Dynamic anisotropy was utilised to allow the estimation to follow the geometry of the mineralisation. Hard boundary conditions were applied for grade estimation of total Sn, acid soluble Sn, Cu and Pb into each of the mineralised domains so that grade estimation for each domain used only the data that is contained within that domain. Semi-soft boundaries were used for the estimation of Zn and density as the boundaries were gradational.

Classification criteria

The Mineral Resource has been classified as Indicated and Inferred based on confidence in the geological model, continuity of mineralised zones, drilling density, confidence in the underlying database and bulk density information. The infill and extension drilling completed by Stellar has largely confirmed the previous interpretations allowing a significant improvement in the confidence of both geological and grade continuity. This has led to the upgrade of a significant amount of material from Inferred to Indicated Mineral Resources. Mineralisation with isolated and/or very few drill hole intercepts remain unclassified until increased confidence in their volume, orientation and grade tenor is established with further drilling.

Mining and metallurgical methods and parameters, material modifying factors considered to date and cut-off grades.

Planned extraction is by underground mining utilising a long hole open stopping method. Mining factors such as dilution and ore loss have not been applied to the reported MRE, though the selection of reported cut-off grade was based on a cut-off grade analysis that utilised appropriate modifying factors.

The parent block size is larger than the expected selectivity for extraction by underground mining, but valid for the level of Indicated and Inferred classifications.

No metallurgical assumptions have been built into the resource model.

Undertaking a cut-off grade analysis using current PFS mining inputs, metallurgical recoveries and current commodity prices and exchange rates of US$39,000/t Sn and AUD:USD exchange rate of $0.70, a 0.4% Sn cut-off was used to report across the Queen Hill deposit as a grade that has a reasonable prospect of eventual economic extraction.

Incorporation of the previously reported open pit St Dizier Resource (2.26Mt @ 0.61% Sn, 13.8kt Sn), would extend the total Heemskirk Tin project resource base to over 100kt of contained tin. Open pit mining of 0.4Mt of the St Dizier Indicated Mineral Resource was included in the 2019 Scoping Study Mining Schedule although it is not being included in the current Heemskirk PFS currently underway, due to the open pit nature of St Dizier, with further studies and drilling to be undertaken once mining at Heemskirk has commenced.

Figure 9: Grade tonnage curves for mineralisation for the combined Queen Hill and Severn deposits

Comparison with the previous 2023 MRE

The 2023 resource was reported at a cut-off grade of 0.6% Sn with a prevailing tin price of US$22,000 and AUD:USD exchange rate of 0.76. The 2026 Queen Hill resource has been reported at a cut-off grade of 0.4% reflecting changed tin commodity pricing having reached over US$50,000/t during 2026 and an AUD:USD exchange rate of around 0.70 along with inputs from the ongoing PFS.

Estimation using a lower 0.1% Sn grade cutoff for modelling, down from the previous 0.4% cutoff in 2023, has resulted in a slightly lower average resource grade. This has been countered by improved resource continuity and increased total contained tin at equivalent cut off grades.

If reported at a 0.6% cut off grade the 2026 Queen Hill resource update sees in the Indicated category a 32% increase in contained tonnes, 22% increase in contained Sn tonnes and a reduction of 0.09% Sn in grade. On a total Indicated and Inferred resource basis the 2026 Queen Hill update sees a 28% increase contained tonnes, 12% increase in contained Sn and a reduction in grade of 0.14% Sn.

For reporting of the 2026 resource, no change in model or incorporation of new drilling has been made to the 2023 MRE at Severn. Drilling is continuing and work is ongoing to complete an updated MRE for Severn due in the 2[nd] quarter 2026 to align it with that of Queen Hill. This work will be included into the ongoing PFS.

No update or change in reported cut-off grade for Montana has been made as no new work has been undertaken on Montana since 2012.

About Stellar Resources:

Stellar Resources ( ASX: SRZ ) is highly focused on developing its world class Heemskirk Tin Project located in the stable tier-1 mining friendly jurisdiction of Zeehan, Western Tasmania and aims to become a producer of 3,000 – 3,500tpa of payable tin, approximately 1% of global supply[#] . The Company has defined a substantial high-grade resource totalling 9.51 at 0.93% Sn, containing 88.10kt of tin (4.60Mt at 0.95% Sn, containing 43.71kt of tin classified as Indicated and 4.9Mt at 0.90% Sn, containing 44.4kt of tin classified as Inferred). This ranks the Heemskirk Project as the highest-grade undeveloped tin resource in Australia and third globally.

#Aiming to become a producer of 3,000 to 3,500 tpa of payable tin is an aspirational statement and SRZ does not have reasonable grounds to believe the statement can be achieved.

Prefeasibility activities underway are evaluating potential project optimisations that will enable a boost in tin output from the 2024 Scoping Study. These activities include resource and exploration drilling to increase confidence by upgrading and expanding resource classifications as well as ore sorting test work to increase ore feed head-grade and tin recoveries.

Stellar also holds the highly prospective North Scamander Project where initial drilling in September 2023, intersected a significant new high-grade silver, tin, zinc, lead and Indium polymetallic discovery.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1

Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data (criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections)

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
• Nature and Quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels,
random chips or specific specialized industry
standard measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as downhole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments
etc.).
• Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
• Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report.
• In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been
done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1m samples
from which 3kg was pulverized to produce 30g
charge for fire assay’). In other cases, more
explanation may be required, such as where
there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or sampling
types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.

The Zeehan Tin deposit has been delineated entirely by
diamond drilling. Numerous drilling campaigns were
completed between 1960 and 1992 by Placer, Gippsland,
Minops, CRAE and Aberfoyle. Post 2010, diamond drilling
was completed by Stellar with diamond core of nominally
NQ or HQ diameter.

Logged sulphide and siderite altered zones were selected
for geochemical analysis.

Approximately 1m samples of 2-3kg were taken from
diamond saw cut drill core whilst respecting geological
boundaries.
Drilling
Techniques
• Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, bangka, sonic
etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or
standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face
sampling bit or other type, where core is oriented
and if so by what method, etc.)

All drill sampling by standard wireline diamond drilling.
Drill sample
recovery
• Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.
• Measures taken to maximize sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples.
• Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias may
have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material

Core logging captured drilled recoveries and core loss.

Recoveries generally excellent (95-100%) through
mineralized sections.

No bias based on recovery has been identified.
Logging • Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a level
of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and metallurgical
studies.
• Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or costean, channel etc.)
photography.
• The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.

Geological logging has been carried out on all holes by
experienced geologists and technical staff.

Holes logged for lithology, weathering, alteration,
structural orientations, Geotech, RQD, magnetic
susceptibility and mineralisation verified with an Olympus
DPO 2000 pXRF.

Photographed dry and wet prior to cutting.

Logs loaded into excel spreadsheets and uploaded into an
SQL database.

Standard lithology codes used for all drillholes.

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Sub-
Sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.
• If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary
split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry
• For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.
• Quality control procedures adopted for all sub
sampling stages to maximize representivity of
samples.
• Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the insitu material collected,
including for instance results of field
duplicate/second half sampling.
• Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the
grain size of the material being sampled

Half core split by diamond saw over 0.3 – 1.0m sample
intervals while respecting geological contacts. Most
sample intervals are 1.0m.

Assay sample weights between 1 and 4kg are considered
appropriate with respect to any coarse tin that may be
present.

Half core has specific gravity undertaken using the
Archimedes method by the laboratory before it is coarse
crushed and then pulverized to 85% passing 75um.
Quality of
assay data
and
laboratory
tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness of
the assaying and laboratory procedures
used and whether the technique is
considered partial or total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments, etc., the
parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and
model, reading times, calibration factors
applied and their derivation etc.
• Nature of quality control procedures adopted
(e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external
laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels
of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have
been established.

Sn, Fe and S analyses were conducted at ALS Laboratories
using:

A fused disc XRF technique (ALS Method XRF15B). Fused
disc XRF is considered a total technique, as it extracts and
measures the whole of the element contained within the
sample.

Aqua regia acid digestion and multi element analysis using
Induced coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ALS Method
ICP41a) for Sn, Li, Ag, Ba, Ca, Cr, Ga, La, Mo, P, Sb, Th, U, Zn,
Al, Cu, Mg, Na, Pb, Sc, Ti, V, As, Bi, Co, Fe, K, Mn, Ni, Sr, Tl,
W. Where required, overlimit ore grade base metals
analysis is undertaken by Aqua regia acid digestion and
multi element analysis using Induced coupled plasma mass
spectrometry (ME-OG46). Where required, Pb that is
overlimit for OG46Pb analysis, is analysed by a fused disc
XRF technique (XRF15d).Certified reference material (CRM)
are inserted approximately every 20 samples using custom
made CRM material by OREAS with grades of ~ 0.3, 0.7 and
1.5% Sn Course blanks and fine blank OREAS 22e are also
inserted after mineralised zones.

Duplicate samples are requested approximately every 20
samples for the lab to repeat the sample.
Verification
of sampling
and assaying
• The verification of significant intersections by
either independent or alternative company
personnel
• The use of twinned holes.
• Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Significant intersections were reviewed by company
personnel.

Eight twinned holes have been included in previous drilling
program with six holes demonstrating moderate to high Sn
grade variability between 20% and 50%. Two holes
demonstrate extreme grade and or geological variability.

Data is collected by qualified geologists and experienced
field assistants and entered into excel spreadsheets. Data
is imported into and SQL database. Data is regularly
backed up and archival copies of the database stored on
the cloud and hard drives.

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Location of
data points
• Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate
drill holes (collar and downhole surveys) trenches,
mine workings and other locations used in
mineral resource estimation
• Specification of grid system used
• Quality and accuracy of topographic control.

Drill holes are sighted and initially recorded by hand held
GPS (+/- 5m accuracy), with final locations picked up by a
licensed surveyor on a 3 monthly basis. The holes reported
in this release are located by handheld (non-RTK) GPS

All Post 2010 drill collars surveyed by licensed surveyor
using differential GPS, including those included in this
announcement.

Pre 2010 drill collars surveyed by licensed surveyor with
the exception of 13 early drill holes located to within 1m
by local grid tape and compass for Queen Hill deposit.

Down hole surveys by downhole camera or Tropari. 2017
holes by Deviflex. For the 2021/2022 holes a digital
magnetic survey tool used up to hole ZQ146. From hole
Z1S43W onwards, a gyroscopic survey tools have been
used.

The Digital Terrain Model has been generated from lands
department 10m contours and adjusted with surveyed drill
collar and controlpoints.
Data Spacing
and
distribution
• Data spacing for reporting Exploration Results
• Whether data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of geological
and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation
procedure(s) and classifications applied.
• Whether sample compositing has been applied

Drill hole spacing for this phase of exploration drilling is
approximately 50m.

It is anticipated that this will be suitable for an Indicated
classification of resource, based on existing geo-statistics
but will need to be assessed by the CP undertaking the
estimation.
Orientation
of data in
relation to
geological
structure
• Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and the
extent to which this is known, considering the
deposit type.
• If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key mineralised
structures is considered to have introduced a
sampling bias, this should be assessed and
reported if material.

The majority of drill holes have been drilled local grid east
west sub-perpendicular to the steeply east dipping
mineralisation in the Severn and Queen Hill Deposits.

Drillhole ZQ181 intersected at approximately 65oto the
currently modelled dip of the ore body. Hence the (true)
downhole interval lengths are ~90% of the interval widths
in this announcement.

Drill hole orientation is not considered to have introduced
any material sampling bias.
Sample
Security
• The measures taken to ensure sample security.
Post 2010 chain of custody is managed by Stellar from the
drill site to ALS laboratories in Burnie.

All samples, bagged in pre-numbered calico bags and
delivered in labelled poly-weave bags.

Pre 2010 sample securityis not documented.
Audits or
Reviews
• The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.

No audits or reviews of sampling data and techniques have
been completed.

land tenure
status


Type, reference name/number, location and
ownership including agreements or material
issues with third parties such as joint ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties, native title
interests, historical sites, wilderness or national
park and environmental settings.

The security of tenure held at the time of
reporting along with known impediments to
obtaining a license to operate the area

ML2023P/M, RL5/1997 and EL13/2018 hosting the
Heemskirk Tin Project in Western Tasmania are 100%
owned by Stellar Resources Ltd.
Exploration
done by other
parties

Acknowledgement and appraisal of exploration
by other parties.

Early mining activity commenced in the 1880’s with the
production of Ag-Pb sulphides and Cu-Sn sulphides from
fissure loads.

Modern exploration commenced by Placer in the mid
1960’s with the Queen Hill deposit discovered by
Gippsland in 1971.

The Aberfoyle-Gippsland JV explored the tenements until
1992 with the delineation of the Queen Hill, Severn and
Montana deposits.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralization.

The Heemskirk Tin Deposits are granite related tin-
sulphide-siderite vein and replacement style deposits
hosted in the Oonah Formation and Crimson Creek
Formation sediments and volcanics. Numerous Pb-Zn-Ag
fissure lodes are associated with the periphery of the
mineralizing system. Mineralisation is essentially
stratabound controlled by northeast plunging fold
structures associated with northwest trending faults. Tin
is believed to be sourced from a granite intrusion located
over 1km from surface below the deposit.
Drill hole
information

A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results
including a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill holes:
-
easting and northing of the drill hole
collar
-
elevation or RL (Reduced Level - elevation
above sea level in metres) of the drill hole
collar
-
dip and azimuth of the hole
-
downhole length and interception depth
-
hole length

If the exclusion of this information is justified
on the basis that the information is not
Material and this exclusion does not detract
from the understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly explain why
this is the case
No new exploration results are reported in this release.
Data
aggregation
methods

In reporting of Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually material
and should be stated.

Exploration assay results are downhole length weighted
averages for Sn%, Cu%.

High grade intercepts may have been selected from some
longer low-grade length weighted downhole average
intercepts and presented as length-weighted average
inclusions.

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary

Where aggregate intercepts include short
lengths of high grade results and longer lengths
of low grade results, the procedure used for
aggregation should be stated and some
examples of such aggregations should be
shown in detail

The assumptions used for any reporting of
metal equivalent values should be clearly
stated.

No metal equivalents have been used.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths


These relationships are particularly important
in the reporting of Exploration Results.

If the geometry of the mineralization with
respect to the drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.

If it is not known and only the downhole
lengths are reported, there should be a clear
statement to this effect (e.g. down hole length,
true width not known)

Mineralisation generally dips steeply 70-80oto the east
with drill holes drilled ranging from 60-80oto the west.
Hence the (true) downhole interval lengths are typically
~60-80% of the intervals intersected.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales)
and tabulated intercepts should be included for
any significant discovery being reported. These
should include, but not be limited to a plan
view of drill collar locations and appropriate
sectional views.

No new exploration results are reported in this release.
Balanced
reporting

Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high
grades and/ or widths should be practiced to
avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results

No new exploration results are reported in this release.
Other
substantive
exploration
data

Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including (but not
limited to): geological observations; geophysical
survey result; geochemical survey results; bulk
samples – size and method of treatment;
metallurgical test results; bulk density,
groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or
contaminating substances.

Metallurgical test work completed by ALS/BRL laboratories
over a number of different campaigns on drill core
samples. Deposits have been zoned mineralogically and
metallurgically

Cassiterite is the dominant tin-bearing mineral occurring
as free grains and in complex mineral composites.

Grain sizes vary according to ore type, with Severn having
the coarsest and Upper Queen Hill having the finest.

Cassiterite liberation generally commences at a grind of
130 microns and is largely complete at 20 microns.

Bulk densities determined on mineralised intercepts using
the Archimedes method.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further work
(e.g. test for lateral extensions or depth
extensions or large scale step out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of
possible extensions, including the main
geological interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.

Prefeasibility level metallurgical and mining studies are
occurring in conjunction with the current drilling.

Environmental baseline studies are underway to support
the application of a Notice of Intent with the
Environmental Protection Authority of Tasmania.

The mineral deposits remain open down dip and down
plunge and will be explored as access becomes available
with mine development.

Section 3: Estimation and Reporting of Mineral Resources (Criteria listed in section 1, and where relevant in section 2, also apply to this section)

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Database
integrity

Measures taken to ensure that the data has not
been corrupted by, for example, transcription or
keying errors, between its initial collection and
its use for Mineral Resource estimation
purposes.

Data validation procedures used.

Drill hole data was provided as a Microsoft Access
database.

Historic data was validated by checking paper logs and
assay sheets.

Post 2010 data is received electronically and loaded into
database with various database checks.

The database is managed by Stellar with extracts provided
to Haren for Mineral Resource estimation.

Haren undertook basic checks of the data for potential
errors as a preliminary step to compiling the resource
estimate. No material flaws were identified with minor
adjustments relayed back into the database.
Site visits
Comment on any site visits undertaken by the
Competent Person and the outcome of those
site visits.

If no site visits have been undertaken indicate
why this is the case.

The Competent Person visited the Heemskirk site in
August 2025 during the drilling program.

The site visit allowed the Competent Person to observe
and verify the drilling, sampling, logging and core handling
procedures which were all considered excellent.

No issues were identified duringthe site visit.
Geological
interpretation

Confidence in (conversely, the uncertainty of)
the geological interpretation of the mineral
deposit.

Nature of the data used and of any assumptions
made.

The effect, if any, of alternative interpretations
on Mineral Resource estimation.

The use of geology in guiding and controlling
Mineral Resource estimation.

The factors affecting continuity both of grade
and geology.

There is good confidence in the global geological and
mineralisation models for both Queen Hill and Severn.
Infill drilling since the previous MRE has largely confirmed
the previous interpretations allowing a significant
improvement in the confidence of both geological and
grade continuity.

All drill hole data is diamond core

Alternative interpretations may have a minor effect at the
local scale. Where alternative interpretations are possible,
the classification has been applied to correctly indicate risk
and where the Competent Person considers the risk to be
very high the interpretations remain unclassified and not
reportable here.

Geology is key in guiding and controlling estimations.

The regional geological setting is the main influencer in
bothgrade andgeological continuity.
Dimensions
The extent and variability of the Mineral
Resource expressed as length (along strike or
otherwise), plan width, and depth below surface
to the upper and lower limits of the Mineral
Resource.

Severn deposit is a north trending moderate to steeply
east dipping and north plunging stratabound deposit.
Comprised of 3 main lenses of mineralisation in a broader
sulphide halo. Strike extending north over 500m, width 3-
50m and down dip extent over 700m. There are some
mineralised intersections below the 3 main zones which
have not been included in the MRE.

Queen Hill is a north trending moderate to steeply east
dipping and north plunging stratabound deposit.
Comprised of multiple mineralised structures in a broader
sulphide halo. Strike extending at 023° over ~850m, width
of the defined vein stack is ~150m near surface and ~300m
at depth. Down dip extent up to 600m in the larger veins.
Fracture and stratabound basemetal veining increases
towards the topof the deposit.

The process of validation, the checking process
used, the comparison of model data to drill hole
data, and use of reconciliation data if any
available.

All modelling and estimation work is carried out in three
dimensions via Datamine Studio software, Version
3.1.381.0. The implicit vein generation tool was used to
create vein wireframes. Where extrapolation beyond 5m
from data occurred, the estimates remain unclassified.

The previous Queen Hill estimate was used to compare the
update with the results similar in spatial location and
grade tenor however the lower nominal threshold for vein
definition means the reported grade is slightly lower than
previously. Where differences were noted, they were
confirmed to be areas of new information.

No assumptions were made regarding recovery of by-
products for estimation and reporting of the estimates.

Estimation of ancillary elements were made to assist mine
planning activities.

The models for the deposits were constructed using a
parent block size of 5mE by 10mN by 5mRL; with sub-cells
down to 0.50mE by 0.50mN by 0.50mRL. The average
sample spacing varies from closer than 20m by 20m across
and along the general strike (023°) to very wide spacing
>100m by 100m. Average spacing in Indicated areas is
~25m by 25m

No assumptions were made regarding potential SMU sizes.

Metal association analysis suggests moderate to good
correlation between Sn, Soluble Sn, S, Fe and SG.

The geological interpretation was used to control the
orientation of the vein general tool.

Drill hole data was composited on 1m intervals including
Total Sn Soluble Sn, Cu, Pb, Zn, S and SG. Top cutting was
based on various statistical means and iterated through
validation of estimate versions.

Block grades and density were validated by various
methods. Comparing the estimated and composite values
of each variable in each vein via:

Global means.

Histograms.

Trend plot by strike and down dip orientations.

Visual sections in various orientations and in 3D.

No reconciliation data is available.

or with natural moisture, and the method of
determination of the moisture content.

The tonnages are estimate on a dry tonnage basis.

Cut off grades have been determined from ongoing PFS
mining study recoveries, overall metallurgical recoveries,
estimated costs, prevailing mineral price (US$39,000) and
exchange rate estimations ($US/$A0.70).

A block cutoff of 0.4% Sn has been applied for the

Environmental
factors or
assumptions


Assumptions made regarding possible waste and
process residue disposal options. It is always
necessary as part of the process of determining
reasonable prospects for eventual economic
extraction
to
consider
the
potential
environmental impacts of the mining and
processing operation. While at this stage the
determination
of
potential
environmental
impacts, particularly for a greenfield project,
many not always be well advanced, the status of
early
consideration
of
these
potential
environmental impacts should be reported.
Where these aspects have not been considered
this should be reported with an explanation of
the environmental assumptions made.

Bulk density
Whether assumed or determined. If assumed,
the basis for the assumptions. If determined, the
method used, whether wet or dry, the frequency
of the measurements, the nature, size and
representativeness of the samples.

The bulk density for bulk material must have
been measured by methods that adequately
account for void spaces (vugs, porosity, etc.),
moisture and differences between rock and
alteration zones within the deposit.

Discuss assumptions for bulk density estimates
used in the evaluation process of the different
materials.

Bulk density has been determined from diamond drill core
sent for laboratory analysis. Of the 12,800 Sn analyses
within the database, 8010 have a density measurement
providing a good distribution through the mineralized
material.

Density was derived from either using a pycnometer or
the Archimedes weight in air or water method at the
analytical laboratory. laboratories. Where a pycnometer
was used it was operated on a pulp material. Where the
Archimedes method was used it was on selected core
taken from the sample bags submitted for analysis.

Density has been estimated into the parent cell size using
Ordinary Kriging with the same parameters as Sn. Semi-
soft boundaries have been used.

Classification
The basis of the classification of the Mineral
Resource into varying confidence categories.

The Mineral Resource has been classified as Indicated

Discussion of
relative
accuracy/confi
dence

Where appropriate a statement of the relative
accuracy and confidence level in the Mineral
Resource estimate using an approach or
procedure
deemed
appropriate
by
the
Competent Person.

The statement should specify whether it relates
to global or local estimates, and, if local state the
relevant tonnages, which should be relevant to
technical and economic evaluation.

These statements of relative accuracy and
confidence of the estimate should be compared
with production data, where available.

The geological model is robust at a global level between
sections and down dip of cross sections.

Broad drill spacing of inferred resources and short-range
variability reduce confidence in the estimate which is
reflected in the resource classification.

The effects of localised brittle faulting and grade variability
is likely to impact the geology model on a local level. Infill
drilling, face mapping and sampling will be necessary for
grade control during production.

Grade and geological variance is highlighted by twinned
holes and variogram models.

No production data is available for reconciliation.
