NEXT GROWTH PHASE? T I N D E M A N D
• Tin demand characterised by long periods of above trend Long-periods of strong growth:
growth driven by new uses
• Emergence of tin in lead acid batteries one example of a new use that could gain more traction
- Current growth pause is mature (10 years)
- Potential for a cyclical recovery in 2018?

- QH tin deposit discovered early 1960s by Gippsland Ltd
- Aberfoyle jv with Gippsland in 1971 discovered Montana and Severn deposits
- Tin deposits located within Tasmania's most productive mineral field
- Renison, Australia's oldest and largest tin mine is located 18km away to the NE of the Heemskirk project
- Stellar listed on ASX in 2005
- Stellar acquired Aberfoyle's 60% interest for $1.2m in 2008
- Remaining 40% interest acquired from Gippsland Ltd in 2012 for $3.5m
- A$11m spent to date on drilling, geology, metallurgy, environment, mining and processing studies

JORC 2012 CONFIRMS RESOURCE QUALITY M I N E R A L R E S O U R C E E S T I M A T E R E V I E W E D I N 2 0 1 6
- 6.35mt @ 1.13% Sn or 72,000t of contained Sn
- 97% of contained Sn is in the form of cassiterite the most readily recoverable Sn mineral
- 64% of Indicated Resource in Lower Queen Hill first deposit in development queue
- LQH Indicated Resource of 0.82mt @ 1.42% Sn is particularly high grade
- All Sn deposits at Zeehan are open at depth and have significant exploration potential
- Next step is infill drilling

• Heemskirk is well placed on the grade tonnage curve – potential to increase grade and tonnes
- Existing underground producers San Rafael and Renison facing declining grade as are other producers
- Many competitors either lower grade or in higher risk jurisdictions
- Competitors with remote projects face higher infrastructure and service costs compared with Heemskirk
SIGNIFICANT PROJECT MILESTONE THAT INCREASES TENURE AND SECURITY OVER THE RIGHT TO MINE TIN M I N I N G L E A S E G R A N T E D
- ML 2023P/M granted to wholly owned subsidiary Columbus Metals Limited
- Term is 12 years to 1st January 2029
- Provides right to carry out mining operations in the lease area in accordance with the Mineral Resources Development Act 1995
- Right to mine tin and all other metallic minerals
- All conditions of the ML can be met through the existing schedule of activities planned by Stellar
- No minimum expenditure commitments
- Tailings pipeline ML 2040P/M under application

INITIAL FOCUS ON LOWER QUEEN HILL
ZQ133 – 6.0m @ 0.8% tin
- ZQ134 2.0m @ 1.3% tin within 6.0m of 0.6% tin
- Confirmation of geological model cassiterite tin associated with pyrite/siderite/quartz alteration in a fault zone between black shales and volcanics
- Base metal zonation above tin mineralisation means high in system
- Infill drill holes also providing sample for further metallurgical testing


GOOD INITIAL RESULTS FROM SEVERN
- ZS132 intersected 14m @ 1.4% tin from 333m to 347m
- Drill direction at right angles to historical drilling to test vein orientation
- High-grade veins parallel and at high angle to the deposit strike
- Boundary position of deposit confirmed adding confidence to the geological model
- Cassiterite occurs in veins and as void infill

- Australia's oldest and largest Sn mine is located 18km away to the NE of the Heemskirk Sn project
- Same geology and structural setting for Heemsksirk and Renison
- Renison started with a 5 year mine life in 1965 producing 5ktpa Sn – i.e. an ore reserve of 25kt
- Renison has now produced over 250kt Sn in the 50 years since it started and has 166kt Sn in resources
- New ore is being discovered at Renison today between the north and south deposits
- The Heemskirk deposits are shown superimposed on the Renison long section and at 72kt Sn represent just 20% of the Sn found at Renison
