Why is tin solder important?
Tin solder preferred by electronics industry:
- Meets legal requirement for lead free solder
- Non-toxic in manufacturing environment
- Better performance than other low melting point alloys
- Allows more efficient use & smaller circuit boards
- Design costs make switching expensive
- Lower cost metal than silver


Where is tin mined?


Stellar well placed
- China became a net importer of tin in 2008
- China's imports of tin concentrate now rising much faster than tin metal
- Stellar well placed for fast growing Chinese market



Great location - multiple deposits

- 60% owned Heemskirk plus 100% owned St Dizier tin deposits
- Significant mining district
- Easy access to water & power
- Sealed road between both deposits
- Rail & road connect to Burnie port
- 18 km from Renison tin concentrator
- Yunnan Tin Group buying into area
- No serious project review for 20yrs



High Grade Resource
- Heemskirk Mineral Resource 4.4mt grading 1.1% tin 49kt of contained tin in 3 nearby deposits
- Queen Hill, 1.6Mt @1.2% tin as indicated resource
- All deposits open at depth
- Highest grade tin project with JORC resource

cut-off grade 0.6% tin
estimated on 3 March 2011 by Mining One Pty Ltd


Excellent exploration potential


13


- Traditional high-sulphide tin ore processing circuit proposed – comparable with Renison Bell circuit
- Tin present as cassiterite rather than more difficult to treat stannite
- Good liberation characteristics down to finer fraction
- Mineral characterization shows potential to produce 50% tin concentrate at 70% recovery
- Pre-concentration works well
