Stellar Resources Review of operations 31 December 2017

==> picture [59 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Six months to December 2017

Stellar’s portfolio of tin assets (see Figure 1) is well positioned on the west coast of Tasmania in close proximity to the world class Renison tin mine and other long-life mines at Rosebery and Queenstown. The established mining district provides ready access to infrastructure, power, water, mining services and a mining community.

Strategy

Stellar’s strategy is to advance its flagship Heemskirk Tin Project through to production. During the period, the focus at Heemskirk was on drilling, mining approvals and environmental monitoring in support of feasibility work.

Investment in the west coast mining sector is increasing with the introduction of ore sorting for the first time at Renison tin and sale of the idled Avebury nickel mine (6km from Zeehan) to Dundas Mining. These developments present opportunities for Stellar to investigate additional processing options for Heemskirk Tin.

Stellar continues to look for opportunities to enhance its asset portfolio in tin and other battery metals. In January 2018, the Mount Razorback EL, located within 10km of Zeehan and with known tin occurrences was added to the portfolio (see Figure 1).

Tin Market Outlook

The London Metal Exchange tin price has tracked sideways at US$20,000/t for the six months to December 2017 (see Figure 2). Demand for tin improved during the period, however, a recovery in production from Indonesia and China and continued high exports of concentrate from Myanmar placed a ceiling on price. In January, the tin price performed strongly breaking above US$22,000/t. The sustainability of this optimism will depend on whether it is supported by fundamentals.

Figure 2: London Metal Exchange Tin Spot Price Versus LME and SHFE Stock Levels

==> picture [382 x 251] intentionally omitted <==

The case for improved fundamentals can be summarised as follows:

  • The macro environment for metals has improved with upgrades to global economic growth

  • LME and Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) tin stocks have declined to historic lows

  • Tin production from Chinese smelters continues to be disrupted to meet emission targets

  • Indonesian export growth in 2018 should be modest after a 23% rise in 2017

  • Exports of tin from Myanmar may decline if there is no further increase in concentrate grade

Longer term, growth in the battery sector has positive implications for tin use particularly in tin-silicon alloys for lithium-ion batteries. The sector currently uses tin as solder and in a range of alloys in lead-acid batteries.

The International Tin Association (ITA) views US$25,000/t as an incentive tin price for new projects.

Drilling Outcomes – Heemskirk Tin

During the December half year, Stellar continued a diamond drilling program that commenced in April 2017 and focused on the two largest deposits Lower Queen Hill (LQH) and Severn. The purpose of the program was to reduce drill hole spacing, better define both deposits, test geological structure and provide sample for metallurgical testing.

Over the total program 3,379m were drilled with 984m at LQH and 2,396m at Severn. Poor ground conditions, slow drilling rates and reduced rig availability resulted in a lower number of metres and holes than planned. While the reduction in drill spacing was only partly achieved, the program did deliver strong assay results and contributed greatly to the Company’s understanding of the deposits.

LQH drilling confirmed the geological model and infilled the upper part of the deposit. Notable intersections included:

ZQ133 – 6m @ 0.84% tin from 209m including 3m @ 0.96% tin from 212m

ZQ134 – 7m @ 0.61% tin from 219m including 2m @ 1.32% tin from 219m

Severn drilling improved the geological model by providing intersections in multiple orientations and by highlighting the importance of geological structure and the intensity of alteration on grade. It also confirmed the presence of high grade tin in the upper part of Severn. The best intersections included:

ZS132 – 14m @ 1.35% tin from 333m including 1m @ 4.99% tin from 336m

ZS 139 – 3m @ 1.62% tin from 263m and 1m @ 12.60% tin from 285m (see Figure 3)

Exploration

In January 2018, Stellar added Mt Razorback (EL 11/2017) to its portfolio of exploration assets. The property is located within easy trucking distance of Zeehan (10km to east) and is well serviced by existing roads (see Figure 4). It also includes the historical Razorback and Grand Prize tin mines and the Razorback tailings dam. Between 1975 and 1978, 153t of tin in concentrate valued at A$4m was produced from the Razorback open pit.

The Mt Razorback EL provides an opportunity for Stellar to investigate the potential for the recovery of cassiterite tin from tailings. In addition, a review of historical drilling below the Razorback pit is underway to identify drill targets and to determine the potential for additional resources. The Razorback mine is located on a 3km fault structure that also represents an excellent exploration target for additional Razorback style mineralisation.

Stellar Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2017

==> picture [59 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Note 1. Significant accounting policies

These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2017 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

These general purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017 and any public announcements made by the company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except for the policies stated below.

Reporting Entity

Stellar Resources Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the half-year ended 31 December 2017 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Consolidated Entity”).

Statement of Compliance

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. The half-year financial report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and shall be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report.

Basis of Preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Company’s 2017 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2017, except for the impact of the of the Standards and Interpretations described below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Amendments to AASBs and the new Interpretation that are mandatorily effective for the current reporting period

The Consolidated Entity has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current half-year.

All new accounting standards required, were adopted and they did not have a material impact.

The adoption of all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in any changes to the consolidated entity’s accounting policies and has no effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior half-years.

Stellar Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2017

==> picture [59 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Going concern

Stellar Resources Limited’s consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

During the half-year ended 31 December 2017, the consolidated entity recognised a loss of $471,515, had net cash outflows from operating activities of $328,279, payments for exploration activities of $915,639 and had an accumulated loss of $19,708,686 as at 31 December 2017. The continuation of the consolidated entity as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash from operating and financing activities and manage the level of exploration and other expenditure within available cash resources. The Directors consider that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate for the following reasons:

As at 31 December 2017, the consolidated entity had cash assets of $1,679,212, net working capital of $1,723,643, including investments in UraniumSA Limited of $38,882, Samphire Uranium Limited of $54,774 and Renascor Resources Limited of $49,500 which can be liquidated if and when required.

The most recently prepared cash flow forecast prepared by management and reviewed by the Directors indicates that the consolidated entity will hold sufficient cash reserves to continue its current exploration programmes and other working capital requirements beyond twelve months from issuing these financial statements. The cash flow forecast takes into account the consolidated entity’s implementation of cost reviews which includes exploration activity and overhead expenditure, as well as raising new equity capital in order for the consolidated entity to meet its planned exploration expenditure.

Note 2. Segment information

The consolidated entity operates in the Australian mineral exploration sector where it is actively pursuing opportunities for a number of mineral targets through various tenements all of which are currently at exploration stage and require further funding to proceed to revenue generation stages. As such the consolidated entity is required to prioritise its funding allocation and does so based on the assessment of the market sentiment and the potential of finding a viable mineral resource. Each exploration licence may be identified as a separate business activity that has revenue earning potential. However, licences of the same mineral exploration targets have been aggregated into the same segment based on similar economic characteristics. Various corporate and investing activities have been allocated to a corporate operating segment of the consolidated entity.

Information reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on the types of resources held.

The following is an analysis of the consolidated entity’s revenue and results from operations by reportable segment.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report to the members of Stellar Resources Limited

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Stellar Resources Limited, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017, and the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the end of the half-year or from time to time during the halfyear as set out on pages 9 to 18.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Stellar Resources Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Auditor’s Independence Declaration

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Stellar Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation. Member of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Stellar Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
