NE Tasmania Exploration Licences Granted
Stellar Resources Limited (ASX: SRZ, "Stellar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has recently been granted 8 Exploration Licences over an area of 1,899 km2 in North East Tasmania which is highly prospective for Victorian-style Orogenic Gold, Intrusive Related Gold Systems (IRGS) and additionally contains historical tin occurrences.
Highlights:
- 8 Exploration Licences (EL's) over a total area of 1,899 km2 granted to Stellar's wholly owned subsidiary, Tarcoola Iron Pty Ltd.
- The granted EL's, and Stellar's remaining 4 EL applications in NE Tasmania are highly prospective for Victorian-style Orogenic Gold and for Intrusive Related Gold Systems (IRGS).
- There are 51 recorded gold occurrences and 22 recorded tin occurrences on the granted EL's and a further 26 recorded gold occurrences and 3 recorded tin occurrences on Stellar's remaining 4 EL applications in NE Tasmania.
- A number of desktop orogenic and IRGS gold exploration targets have been identified by Stellar's technical team using full GIS targeting capability including: reprocessed aeromagnetic, radiometric and gravity data, geological mapping, recorded gold and tin occurrences, historic drilling and geochemical data. A number of tin targets have also been identified.
- Stellar's Tasmanian geological team is currently being expanded and the Company expects to commence fieldwork on the granted EL's during CY2021 Q4 including site reconnaissance visits, rock chip and soil geochemistry sampling over identified desktop targets.
- The granted EL's were included in 10 EL applications lodged by Stellar in September 2020. Processing of the remaining two September 2020 EL applications over the Beaconsfield South and Scamander areas (combined area of 384 km2 ) is nearing completion and the Company expects these 2 licences to be granted during September 2021.
- Two further EL applications were lodged by Stellar in March 2021 covering a combined area of 240km2in the South Scamander, Pyengana and Quakers Ranges areas. The company expects these 2 further EL's to be granted by around the end of January 2022.
Executive Director Gary Fietz commented; "We are delighted to have recently been granted the first 8 of our 12 EL's applied for in NE Tasmania and are now looking forward to commencing fieldwork. We now have plenty to get on with exploring on the large area granted while processing of the remaining 4 applications is completed. The ground is highly prospective for Victorian-style gold and IRGS gold exploration targets in relatively under-explored NE Tasmania within the continuation of the Victorian Western Lachlan Fold Belt.
Stellar will continue to advance its flagship Heemskirk Tin project, where drilling is currently underway, as its top priority whilst commencing exploration for gold and tin on the recently granted EL's in NE Tasmania".

NE Tasmania – A continuation of the Victorian Western Lachlan Fold Belt 1
Gold deposits in North East Tasmania lie within a continuation of the Western Lachlan Fold Belt in Victoria – one of the world's largest orogenic gold provinces (see Figure 1).
The Western Lachlan Fold Belt in Victoria hosts the >3 MOz Fosterville Mine, Bendigo and other Tier 1 goldfields and has produced >80 MOz gold.
NE Tasmania hosts the Beaconsfield Mine (2.3 MOz), New Golden Gate Mine (0.3 MOz) and Lefroy Goldfield (0.2MOz), along with hundreds of smaller historic gold mines and occurrences.
While Victoria is currently experiencing intense gold exploration activity, NE Tasmania has had very little modern gold exploration undertaken.

Figure 1 - Continuation of Western Lachlan Fold Belt from Victoria into NE Tasmania 1
Gold deposits in NE Tasmania share the same geological setting as their Victorian counterparts (see Figure 2):
- Ordovician turbiditic meta-sediments (Mathinna Super-Group).
- Ordovician to Devonian deformation and metamorphism (Western Lachlan Orogen).
- Associated with nearby Devonian granitoid intrusives.
- Gold commonly in quartz veins occupying dilational zones along large- scale faults related to folding and deformation during the Lachlan Orogen.
- Predominantly NW oriented lodes controlled by regional structures and rheological contrasts between sedimentary units.
- Intrusion Related Gold System (IRSG) deposits also occur in NE Tasmania.

Stellar's North East Tasmania Exploration Licenses
8 Exploration Licences (EL's) over a total area of 1,899 km2 in NE Tasmania have recently been granted to Stellar's wholly owned subsidiary, Tarcoola Iron Pty Ltd.
The 8 recently granted EL 's were included in 10 EL applications lodged by Stellar in September 2020. Processing of the remaining two September 2020 EL applications over the Beaconsfield South and Scamander areas is nearing completion and the Company now expects these 2 licences covering a combined

area of 384 km2 to be granted during September 2021. A number of objections have been received from landowners with small to medium sized properties over the Beaconsfield South EL10/2020, and to a lesser extent over the Scamander EL19/2020 application area's which are yet to be granted. The Company intends to relinquish its application over these objection areas which is not expected to have a material effect on the gold targets identified over the Beaconsfield South and Scamander EL's.
Two further EL applications were lodged by Stellar in March 2021 covering a combined area of 240km2in the South Scamander, Pyengana and Quakers Ranges areas. The company expects these 2 further EL's to be granted by around the end of January 2022.

The 8 recently granted EL's, and Stellar's remaining 4 EL applications in NE Tasmania are highly prospective for Victorian-style Orogenic Gold and for Intrusive Related Gold Systems (IRGS). There are 51 recorded gold occurrences and 22 recorded tin occurrences on the 8 recently granted EL's and a further 26 recorded gold occurrences and 3 recorded tin occurrences on Stellar's remaining 4 EL applications in NE Tasmania. (see Figure 3 and Table 1). 1 2
A number of desktop orogenic and IRGS gold exploration targets have been identified by Stellar's technical team using full GIS targeting capability including: reprocessed aeromagnetic, radiometric and gravity data, geological mapping, recorded gold and tin occurrences, historic drilling and geochemical data. A number of tin targets have also been identified. 2
