EXPLORATION
TASMANIA (Stellar 100%)
Alpine Copper
Drilling continues to encounter a significant copper mineralised zone at the Alpine Copper prospect on the west coast of Tasmania. Two additional diamond drill holes were completed during the quarter and the results were reported on 17 January 2007.

| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -- | -- | -- |
During 2006 Alpine was tested with eight diamond drill holes. Copper mineralisation was intersected in six of these holes over substantial widths and commencing at relatively shallow depths. The copper mineralisation has so far been demonstrated over more than 200m both in a north-south and an eastwesterly direction. Significantly, the average width of mineralisation appears to be in excess of 50m. Importantly, holes AP11 and AP12A have extended the copper-bearing zone substantially to the north and to the edge of (or beyond) the higher magnetic zone while AP12A returned a very wide, lower grade intersection.
Holes AP11 and AP12A contain copper in an area of near zero magnetic susceptibility where the copper mineralisation appears to be in a different host rock – and containing some intense silicification. Geological interpretation at Alpine is proving more complex and these latest holes demonstrate that the copper mineralisation is not as restricted to the magnetic rocks as was previously thought. Whilst the large magnetic anomaly has biased recent interpretation, the two new recent mineralised holes require the model to be reviewed. Alpine continues to be rated highly.
Assay results for gold are awaited from both holes. Preliminary metallurgical testwork is planned.
The geometry and tenor of the Alpine copper mineralised zone will be further defined once drilling resumes - scheduled for mid February.

Alpine Prospect - Magnetics
Corinna - new licence
Stellar has applied for exploration tenure over a substantial tract of ground north and north-west of Alpine, where regional magnetic images show trends/structures of interest. Geochemical surveys carried out by previous explorers support the copper prospectivity of this area.

Tin Targets
At the Devises area in the south-east corner of the Heemskirk licence, a diamond drill hole was commenced in January to test a magnetic anomaly located on the margin of the Heemskirk Granite and adjacent to the Avebury nickel mining lease. The hole is currently near 100m and appears to be in a magnetite bearing skarn showing intense hydrothermal alteration, with some visible sulphides.
At East Granville, magnetic targets along strike of the open pit tin mine (subject of a recent ASX listing) are being reviewed for drilling, which may occur after the acquisition of detailed aeromagnetic coverage. Two of these targets have already been permitted. At St Dizier, drill holes have also been permitted.
The Gourlays Creek project area is characterised by a large magnetic signature supported by prior GeoPeko drilling which intersected anomalous tin. Acquisition of more detailed aeromagnetic data is planned over this and other north Heemskirk areas. Drill holes have been designed based on a preexisting UTEM (ground EM) survey and permits obtained.
Dundas - Nickel
In November 2006, terms were agreed with Discovery Nickel Limited to purchase its Dundas nickel project, held on EL 21/2004, situated some 7km east of Zeehan in Western Tasmania.
The Dundas exploration licence comprises an area of $12km^2$ . It covers a discrete and high intensity magnetic anomaly, with strong similarities to the magnetic feature associated with the nickel mineralisation at the Avebury nickel deposit, which lies some 15km west of the Dundas EL.
Discovery Nickel will receive 300,000 Stellar shares and will be granted a 2% net smelter return royalty over any production sourced from the Dundas EL, in consideration for the purchase.
Previous exploration in the area has not targeted nickel and the acquisition of this project represents an excellent opportunity for Stellar to expand its already vigorous exploration activities in Tasmania.
The magnetic anomaly in the Dundas EL coincides with a large body of serpentinite in an area of more classic Ag, Pb, Zn vein-style deposits and tin mineralisation related to fluids from an underlying Devonian granite. This area is considered to bear strong similarities to the Zeehan mineral field adjacent to the Avebury deposit. At Avebury, nickel mineralisation is related to hydrothermal fluids interacting with mafic/ultramafic rocks close to Devonian granitoids and accumulating nickel at boundaries between the serpentinised ultramatics and overlying stratigraphy.
Following completion of the formal sale and purchase agreement Stellar expects to proceed to define targets for drill testing during the March quarter 2007, subject to permits and rig availability.

Location of the Dundas EL
Ramsay
Work was confined to drilling at the Arthur Dam base metals prospect located some 10km west of Waratah. Arthur Dam is favorably located geologically being within 5km of three important historic mines – Mt Bischoff (tin), Cleveland (tin, copper) and Magnet (silver, lead, zinc).
Hole AD07 was drilled from the Arthur Dam car park to test the historic copper intersections and to test for a possible strike extension of outcropping ultramafic rock. Weak veining with low copper values were encountered at intervals between 210m to 300m. Although no ultramafic rock was encountered in this hole, the down dip extension to mineralisation was confirmed.
Mapping is continuing on potential nickel targets adjacent to the Meredith granite.
NEW SOUTH WALES
Goldfinger (Stellar 51%; option to 60%)
Systematic coverage of the entire strike length of the Goldfinger gravity target and the southern Galena Hill prospect area with the deep penetrating "MIMDAS" Induced Polarisation technique was completed. The survey, funded by BHP Billiton, has identified a strongly chargeable and conductive zone coincident with the western half of the Goldfinger trend, untested by existing drilling. A rig has been booked to drill two holes to 350m and 500m depth through the strongest response section on section 545000E.
Drilling is scheduled to commence in February.

Copper Blow (Stellar 51%; option to $60%$ )
Assessment of RC drilling results indicates little potential for significant near surface oxide copper mineralisation within the drilled area and no further work is currently planned.
Panama Hat (Stellar 100%)
Panama EL 6556 is located immediately to the east of the Goldfinger and Copper Blow prospect areas. A gravity survey completed in 2006 has defined a number of significant positive gravity features including a major anomaly (4mGals) immediately west of the historic Panama gold workings. Although it is considered likely that these anomalies are hosted within Broken Hill metasediments, regional geology of the Panama licence area is poorly understood. RAB drilling coverage of these target gravity features is planned for this quarter.
SOUTH AUSTRALIA
Robins Rise (Stellar 100%)
In early October 2006, Stellar concluded an exploration farm-out agreement with Australian explorer Red Metal Limited and Phelps Dodge Australasia, Inc., together known as "the Alliance".
The agreement with the Alliance covers some 1,700km2 of ELs 3336 and 3436 and is located 100km northwest of the Prominent Hill copper-gold deposit within the Gawler Craton.
As operators of the Joint Venture, Red Metal reported:
"A regionally extensive gravity survey and five drill holes targeting Olympic Dam style copper-golduranium mineralisation were completed during the auarter. Weak copper sulphide mineralisation associated with magnetite was intersected on one target.
Processing of the expanded gravity survey data highlighted several anomalies which are considered prospective for copper-gold mineralisation.
The work program for 2007 covers the following activities: Native title access clearances over proposed follow-up targets, followed by drill testing of targets when a suitable drilling rig becomes available."
Coober Pedy Ridge
Two ELAs, totalling some 1,500km2, are now proceeding to grant. These are located in the Coober Pedy Ridge magnetic province immediately north of the Robins Rise IOCGU project area.
Pernatty (Stellar 100%)
The Pernatty EL 3583 is located to the west and south of the historic Mt Gunson copper mining area. The Carapateena IOCG prospect, held by RMG Services Pty Ltd/Teck Cominco Limited, occurs some 30km -40km to the east.
Detailed gravity surveys, to confirm anomalies and to cover remaining portions of the licence areas, were completed during the quarter. Two priority residual gravity targets have been delineated in close proximity to local aeromagnetic features, consistent with the Carrapateena model.
Cowell Joint Venture (Stellar able to earn 75%)
Review of existing data for the Cowell Joint Venture area, Eyre Peninsula, has confirmed the high prospectivity of the project area for IOCGU style mineralisation, under relatively shallow cover (100m). In the "Glensea" prospect area, the existing 3 holes completed by Avoca Resources have returned highly encouraging levels of copper, rare earth and uranium mineralisation, and an evaluation drilling program within this region is being scoped.

Tarcoola Basin Zinc (Stellar 100%)
The "PACE" subsidised drilling program to test for Proterozoic sediment hosted base metal mineralisation in the vicinity of the Ella zinc prospect commenced during the quarter. Unfortunately, the rig proved unable to complete the proposed program. A more suitable rig will be sourced to carry out the drill program, possibly in the June quarter.
URANIUM
Warrior Uranium (Stellar 100%; Toro able to earn 70%)
Toro Energy Limited has advised that Native Title and PIRSA requirements to commence drill testing of the Warrior channel in ELs 3372 and 3369W are nearing completion, and a drill program is scheduled to commence in this quarter.
Toro may spend more than $3 million in a staged farm-in over the next four years on parts of the highly prospective Warrior Project.

Kingoonya Palaeochannel (Stellar 100%; UraniumSA able to earn 70%)
UraniumSA Limited has advised that an extensive airborne EM survey is scheduled for February 2007. Results from this program will define reconnaissance drilling traverse positions to be scheduled mid-year.
Tarcoola Region, Iron Ore (Stellar 100%)
Review of the economic aspects of the Coolybring/Wilgena Hill magnetite occurrences by "Hematite Consultants Pty Ltd" recommended further test work on core samples of magnetite material from the Coolybring area, to check on product quality with finer grind sizes. Samples have been submitted to Amdel Laboratories in Adelaide for this assessment. Subject to this report, Stellar will review the merits of any further on ground activity.
Tarcoola Gold (Stellar 100%)
A comprehensive review of known gold occurrences within Stellar's Tarcoola licence areas recommended the further evaluation of the "Sunshine" prospect, in particular for Archean-hosted gold mineralisation comparable to Dominion Mining Limited's "Challenger" mine, approximately 120km to the west. Previous drilling at Sunshine returned significant intervals of low to moderate grade gold mineralisation (e.g. RCSUN012, 18-38 (20m) at 0.41g/t Au, RCSUN014 56-66 (10m) at 1.44g/t Au). An initial geochemical survey comprising 220 calcrete samples was completed in the Sunshine prospect area and samples submitted for assay. Further sampling is planned for early 2007.
Uno (Stellar option discontinued)
Following an in-house review of the relative merit of this project, this option was lapsed.
VICTORIA
North Bendigo JV (Stellar 50%)
Some of the basement samples which were recovered from previous drilling into weathered basement rocks were submitted to a laboratory for follow-up bottle roll analysis, prior to targeting further aircore drilling. Anomalous gold was noticed in several intercepts at a cover depth of some 60m.
OUTLOOK
Stellar Resources continues to actively explore its portfolio of commodity targets.
In the March 2007 quarter, exploration activity is scheduled for the following areas:
- Alpine, Tasmania drilling to resume February 2007;
- Devises, Tasmania drilling on nickel/tin target;
