Investment Highlights

Heemskirk Tin Project (West Coast Tasmania)

    1. Why Invest in Tin?
    • This year tin has soared to 10-year high prices as demand growth exceeds falling supply and stocks fall to record lows
    • Tin is rated as the No. 1 new technology metal
    1. The Heemskirk Tin resource (6.6Mt @ 1.1% Sn) is the highest grade undeveloped tin resource in Australia & 2nd highest globally
    1. Phase 1 drilling program about to commence targeting new areas of high-grade tin mineralisation:
    • 7 holes targeting depth extensions below key historic silver-lead mines with typical ore grades of 20 to 100 Oz/t silver
    • 2 holes targeting depth extensions of the Severn tin resource
    1. A Phase 2 drilling program is now under review including:
    • Indicated resource infill drilling program over key Heemskirk deposits
    • A deep hole targeting the main conduit of mineralising fluids
    1. Other project work streams / studies required to advance the project to PFS and BFS completion are also now under review
    1. With a scoping study completed in late 2019 confirming attractive economics, the Heemskirk Tin Project is well positioned to take advantage of this years booming tin market

NE Tasmania Gold Exploration

    1. NE Tasmania is a continuation of the Victorian Western Lachlan Fold Belt, which hosts the Fosterville Mine and other Tier 1 goldfields and has produced >80 MOz gold
    1. NE Tasmania hosts the Beaconsfield Mine (2.3 MOz), Mathinna and Lefroy Goldfields and hundreds of smaller gold mines and occurrences
    1. While Victoria is currently experiencing intense gold exploration activity, NE Tasmania has had very little modern gold exploration
    1. Stellar holds 12 first in time EL applications covering a large area of 2,534 km2 in NE Tas
    1. Stellar's ground is highly prospective for Vic-style orogenic gold and IRGS and has ~77 historic gold and ~25 tin occurrences
    1. First 10 EL's expected to be granted ~ June 2021

Heemskirk Tin Project

Why Invest in Tin?

In what the London Mining Journal is calling "the great tin squeeze" 1 and Money Week are calling "the next big bull market in metals?" 2 , since the beginning of 2021 tin has soared to 10-year high prices, not seen since the 2011 boom

  • Physical tin demand is growing strongly:
    • Covid and the rise of remote working has boosted demand for computers and other home electronics devices. As tin solder is the 'glue' connecting everything electronic, this has resulted in strongly growing demand for tin
    • Continued demand for tin in traditional uses including tinplate, chemicals, lead-acid batteries, alloys and other

Global tin supply is falling:

  • China is the world's largest miner of tin and smelter of tin metal and is also a net tin importer. Production cuts have occurred in many Chinese tin smelters this year due to tin ore shortages. China is stockpiling tin to meet its goal of self-sufficiency in semiconductors
  • Indonesia (world's 2 nd largest producer) - production has fallen due to a poor monsoon season, environmental controls and covid issues
  • Myanmar (world's 3 rd largest producer) - production has fallen due to the military coup and largely unreliable artisanal and small-scale mining
  • South America (world's 4 th largest producer) supply has had Covid issues
  • Many existing tin mines now have lower grade and diminishing resources
  • There has been limited exploration or investment in new tin projects
  • Many new projects are either in risky jurisdictions or are low grade

Strong tin demand growth has exceed falling tin supply and is creating an extremely tight market with LME tin stocks falling to near record lows and tin prices rising to 10-year highs

Tin – The Number 1 New Technology Metal

  • Tin ranked as the No. 1 metal best placed to benefit from new technology
  • ~50% of all tin is used as solder in electronics. Solder is the 'glue' that connects everything electronic
  • Our clean, new technology future will be driven by robotics, computing, EV's, energy storage and renewables – these all use more electronics and semiconductors which all need more tin
  • Growing research showing tin may be a more effective anode material in Li -ion batteries

Heemskirk Tin Project – An Enviable Location

West Coast Tasmania – Australia's Largest and Most Productive Tin Field

  • Stellar owned (100%) tin properties:
    • Heemskirk Project (Queen Hill, Severn, Montana and Oonah deposits)
    • Razorback and St Dizier Satellite deposits
    • Large Exploration Licence package
  • 5 major underground metal mines, 3 currently operating, within 30km – significant sunk capital in associated infrastructure
  • Port of Burnie, 150km to the north, services all west coast mines and will provide access to world markets
  • Renewable power and water nearby
  • Competitive market for services, mining & processing inputs and labor

Heemskirk Tin – The Best Portfolio of Tin Assets in Australia

  • Secure Tenure: ML's over Heemskirk Tin and St Dizier satellite deposit

2021 Drilling Program – Phase 1 5,6

  • Phase 1 drilling program (~ 9 diamond holes, ~ 4 ,900m) aimed at identifying new areas of high -grade tin mineralisation near the defined Heemskirk tin deposits / resources . The program includes :
    • a) 7 holes targeting depth extensions below key historic silver -lead mines
    • b) 2 holes targeting depth extensions of the Severn tin resource
  • Program currently out to tender with drilling commencement requested in May (subject to rig availability) . Drilling permits expected by end -April
  • $235 ,000 in Tasmanian Government Exploration Drilling Grant Initiative (EDGI) co -funding grants have been applied for over the Phase 1 holes

(a) Historic Silver -Lead Mines - Depth Extension Drilling

  • ~ 7 holes for a total of ~ 3 ,000 m planned
  • Highly mineralised Zeehan mineral field contains many historically significant high -grade silver -lead mines which lead to the development of a major town and smelters at Zeehan in the late 1800's / early 1900's
  • Drilling below 4 of the largest historic silver -lead mines (Montana No . 1 , Zeehan Western, Oonah & Zeehan Queen No . 4 ) which typically had :
    • Ore grades of 20 Oz/t Silver to 100 Oz/t Silver
    • Mining widths of a few cm up to 2.7m (fissure veins)
    • Mining lengths up to 300m
    • Mining depths of 70m to 300m

2021 Drilling Program – Phase 1 5,6

(a) Historic Silver-Lead Mines - Depth Extension Drilling (continued)

  • Silver-Lead lodes typically transition into tin (with pyrite) lodes at depth
  • Drilling targets depths below the historically mined silver-lead lodes where transition to tin mineralisation is expected although there is also potential to intersect deeper high-grade silver-lead-zinc fissure lodes
  • No drilling ever done below these mines

Phase 1 Drilling Program Summary

Target No.Holes Approx.HoleLength(m) HistoricSilverProduction(MOz) Description
Oonah Mine 2 400 2 Large historic Ag-Pb mine, worked to 120m with Inferredresource based on historic drilling below (0.59 Mt at 0.9%Sn, 0,8% Cu, 0.1% Pb, 0.1% Zn). Remains open at depth
Montana No. 1Mine 2 500-600 7 The largest Ag-Pb mine in Zeehan Field. Worked to 200mdepth on 6 lodes
ZeehanWestern Mine 2 400 5 One of largest Ag-Pb mines in Zeehan Field. Worked to300m depth
Zeehan QueenNo. 4 Mine 1 300 2 Large historic mine, worked to 70m where lode hadtransitioned to pyrite and never assayed for tin
SevernResource Extn. 2 700 None Targeting ~100m below currently defined Severn tinresource at ~600m depth
Total 9 4900

2021 Drilling Program – Phase 1 6

(b) Severn Resource Depth Extension Drilling

  • Two ~700 m holes with provision for wedging & daughter holes planned (total of ~ 1 ,900m)
  • Severn is the largest of the Heemskirk Tin Project deposits and has been drilled only to ~500 m depth
  • The 2 holes planned target extension of the Severn deposit ~100 m below the current resource limit at a depth of ~600 m
  • Severn remains open at depth where it is hoped that mineralisation will continue and increase in grade towards the underlying granite contact, predicted to be > 1 ,000 m below the surface from geophysical surveys

Heemskirk Could Become the Next Renison

  • ✓ Renison, Australia's oldest, largest & highest-grade tin mine is located 18km to the NE of Heemskirk
  • ✓ Heemskirk and Renison share the same ore genesis and geology
  • ✓ Heemskirk deposits drilled to a depth of 500m – all deposits open at depth to granite source rocks interpreted at <1km from surface
  • ✓ Renison started in 1968 with a 4.0Mt reserve and 5-year mine life and has since increased the mine life to 50 years with at least another 15 years to go via successful underground exploration
  • ✓ The Heemskirk deposits currently have a total resource of 6.6Mt, just 20% of the tin found at Renison to date

Phase 2 Drilling and Advancement to PFS/BFS Completion 1 6

With the highest grade undeveloped tin resource in Australia & second highest globally, and a scoping study completed in late 2019 confirming attractive economics, the Heemskirk Tin Project is well positioned to take advantage of increasing tin demand and global supply shortages causing tin prices to soar in 2021

Phase 2 Drilling Program

  • A Phase 2 diamond drilling program is currently under review by Stellar including:
    • a) Severn and Queen Hill Indicated Resource Infill Program
      • Severn and Queen Hill are the two largest Heemskirk Tin Project deposits with a combined total Mineral Resource of 5.33Mt @ 1.0% Sn, of which 40% is Indicated & 60% Inferred 4
      • Infill drilling to upgrade a significant part of the Severn and Queen Hill Inferred Resource to an Indicated Resource in order to support a PFS / BFS for the project

b) 1 Deep hole

  • A deep hole is being considered to target the main conduit of mineralising fluids into the Severn and Queen Hill deposits from the underlying interpreted granite
  • Quotes for Phase 2 drilling have been requested as part of the Phase 1 drilling tender enquiry
  • Phase 2 drilling may require revision to include new areas of high-grade tin mineralisation identified in Phase 1

Advancement of Heemskirk Tin Project to PFS/BFS Completion

  • Other project work streams and studies required to advance the Heemskirk Tin Project to PFS and BFS completion are also now under review by Stellar
  • Many of the project work streams and studies have already been completed to a PFS level
  • Work towards completion of the DPEMP is well progressed with environmental assessment program agreed and stage 1 surveys completed
  • The project has secure Mining Leases granted over mine site, tailings pipeline route and tailings dam site

Heemskirk Tin Project - 2019 Scoping Study 7

  • ~350,000tpa underground mine, on site processing plant, tailings storage and surface infrastructure
  • Tin concentrate trucked to Port of Burnie (150km via sealed road) for export to Asian smelters
  • Tailings pumped to tailings storage facility via 6.7km slurry pipeline
  • Underground mining of Queen Hill and then Severn deposits for first 10 years
  • Open pit mining of St Dizier satellite deposit and trucking to Heemskirk processing plant included in year 11
  • Scoping study mine plan contains 58% Indicated Resource and 42% Inferred Resource over LOM. First 4 years are based on mining 100% Indicated Resource

• Sensitivity analysis highlights project robustness:

Cautionary Statement - The Heemskirk Tin Project Scoping Study has been undertaken for the purpose of ascertaining whether a business case can be made to proceed to more definitive studies on the viability of the Heemskirk Tin Project. It is a preliminary technical and economic study of potential project viability based on low level technical and economic assessments that are not sufficient to support the estimation of ore reserves. Further exploration and evaluation work and appropriate studies are required before Stellar will be in a position to estimate any ore reserves or to provide any assurance of an economic development case
