Focused on tin

- Rapidly advancing Heemskirk Tin near Zeehan, Tasmania – single commodity - single project focus
- Established mining region
- Good historical drilling data base
- Potential to discover blind deposits
- Mining and environmental scoping are positive
- Project target: production by early 2015
Simplifying Ownership Structure
- Historical JV – 60% Stellar, 40% Gippsland with Stellar as operator
- Stellar acquired Gippsland's 40% for 43.5 m Stellar shares and a royalty
- Simple share transaction with no changes to Stellar board or focus
- 100% ownership allows Stellar to control program through to production
- Ownership impediments to financing, feasibility and development removed
Tin prices recover strongly


Tin demand expected to rise to 362,000 tonnes in 2012 Supply shortfall for 5 of last 6 years LME stocks have declined to minimal level Strong price recovery to US$25,000/tonne since Dec 2011
Growth dominated by solder

Tin recycling is becoming more important, particularly in China, and nowrepresents 22% of global demand
Where is tin mined?

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

- Traditional high-sulphide tin ore processing circuit proposed – comparable with Renison Bell circuit
- Tin present as cassiterite rather than more difficult to treat stannite
- Pre-concentration works well
Mineral characterisation shows potential to produce 50% tin concentrate at 70% recovery
Test work is on-going
Scoping study greenlight

- Internal rate of return of 21% & 3.5yr payback advance project to pre-feasibility stage
- US$12,780/t cash cost positions project competitively on the industry cost curve
- Life of mine revenue of $673 million net of smelter charges
- 600,000 tpa throughput over 7.6 years provides economies of scale
- 3,900 tpa of tin in concentrate production ranks project as 2nd in Australia to Renison Bell
