Scoping Study Parameters
The Scoping Study referred to in this announcement 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 the potential viability of project and is 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.
The Scoping Study referred to in this announcement has been undertaken to determine the potential viability of the Heemskirk Project comprising a tin mine and processing plant constructed in Tasmania, Australia, and to reach a decision to proceed with more definitive studies. The Study for the Project has been prepared to an intended accuracy level of ± 35%. The results should not be considered a profit forecast or production forecast.
The Scoping Study is a preliminary technical and economic study of the potential viability of the Project. In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, the Company advises it is based on low-level technical and economic assessments that are not sufficient to support the estimation of Ore Reserves. Further evaluation work including infill drilling and appropriate studies are required before Stellar will be able to estimate any Ore Reserves or to provide any assurance of an economic development case.
Approximately 97% of the total production targets are in the Indicated Mineral Resource category with 3% in the Inferred Mineral Resource category. 97% of the production target in the first 12 years is in the Indicated Mineral Resource category. The Company has concluded that it has reasonable grounds for disclosing a production target which includes an amount of Inferred Mineral Resource. However, there is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work (including infill drilling) on the Heemskirk Project will result in the determination of additional Indicated Mineral Resources or that the production target itself will be realized.
The Scoping Study is based on the material assumptions outlined elsewhere in this announcement. These include assumptions about the availability of funding. While Stellar considers all the material assumptions to be based on reasonable grounds, there is no certainty that they will prove to be correct or that the range of outcomes indicated by the Scoping Study will be achieved.
To achieve the range outcomes indicated in the Scoping Study, additional funding will likely be required. Investors should note that there is no certainty that Stellar will be able to raise funding when needed. It is also possible that such funding may only be available on terms that dilute or otherwise affect the value of Stellar’s existing shares. It is also possible that Stellar could pursue other ‘value realisation’ strategies such as sale, partial sale, or joint venture of the Project. If it does, this could materially reduce Stellar’s proportionate ownership of the Project.
The Company has concluded it has a reasonable basis for providing the forward-looking statements included in this announcement and believes that it has a reasonable basis to expect it will be able to fund the development of the Project. Given the uncertainties involved, investors should not make any investment decisions based solely on the results of the Scoping Study.

Tin Use

Essential to everyday life
- ✶ Tin ranked as the No.1 metal best placed to benefit from new technology.
Source: MIT; Rio Tinto, 2018; ITA
-
✶ Currently ~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 require more tin.
-
✶ Tin demand from the green sector could more than double by 2030, topping 70,000/t per annum equivalent to a fifth of current consumption.

1,2 Cautionary Statement
In the peer resources disclosed in table above:
Footnoted items 1 were reported by the relevant companies under the Canadian NI 43-101 and are a qualifying foreign estimate of mineralisation.
Footnoted items 2
-
the data are not reported in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (referred to as the “JORC Code (2012)”);
-
a Competent Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates or foreign estimates as Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves in accordance with the JORC Code (2012); and
-
it is uncertain that following evaluation if the historical estimates or foreign estimates will be able to be reported as Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves in accordance with the JORC Code (2012).
Mr Andrew Boyd (BSc), a Competent Person, who is an Executive Director of Stellar Resources, and a member of the Australasian Institute of Geologists, has considered the information for the foreign estimates of mineralisation for the peer resources disclosed in the table above and considers that the information disclosed is an accurate representation of the available data for the peer resource. Mr Boyd consents to the inclusion in this Study of the matters based on this information in the form and context which it appears, with relevant links provided for each resource embedded as a hyperlink.
