02 Overview & Strategy • All Star has a portfolio of two projects in Queensland, Australia, covering 1,226 square kilometres, prospective for copper, phosphate, and uranium. • It owns 53% of Blue Doe Gold Plc, a company with three projects in Queensland, prospective for gold, silver, and copper. • All Star’s strategy is to have a number of producing mines in Queensland, to enable it to strengthen its balance sheet year-on-year and asset portfolio. • All Star’s near-term goal is envisaged to commence production at The Big One, a copper deposit in North-Western Queensland, in the vicinity of a number of producing base metal mines (e.g. Glencore’s Mount Isa Mines, CST Group’s Lady Annie Copper Mine • Additionally the Company is in discussions with owners of additional high grade copper deposits in the Mount Isa region with a view to further acquisitions and bringing additional mines into production over the next 3-12 months.
03 The Big One - Location • The Big One - copper deposit in North-Western Queensland covering 320 acres. • Located in an abundant region for base metal mineralization, being c.100 km’s North-West of Glencore’s Mount Isa Mines and c.20kms South-East of CST Group’s Lady Annie Copper Mine, as well as numerous other base mines and deposits.
04 Copper Mines & Deposits In Mount Isa Region • Australia's main copper mining centres are in the Mount Isa/Cloncurry region of Queensland and at Olympic Dam in South Australia. - Notable mines and deposits in the vicinity of The Big One include: • Mount Isa Mines - Past production and reserves indicate a total resource of around 225 Mt @ 3.3% Cu. • Ernest Henry - The total reserve + resource prior to the commencement of mining in 1998 was 166 Mt @ 1.1% Cu, and 0.54 g/t Au. • Lady Annie - A total known resource of 65.2 Mt @ 0.71% Cu • Rockland Copper Project - 30.94 Mt of measured and indicated resources @ 1.24% Cu (August 2010)
05 The Big One - Geology • Situated on a North-East striking fault structure that lies subparallel and c.11 km’s from the Mount Gordon Fault Zone. • The Mount Gordon Fault Zone contains numerous examples of fault-related copper mineralization. • The outcropping mineralization at The Big One is predominantly copper lode within QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture. vesicular basalt of a fault gouge. • The dominant copper mineralization is malachite, whilst chalcocite and azurite are also present. • It is known the copper mineralization continues beyond a depth of 40 meters -with the deepest hole intersecting copper mineralization at 75 meters.
06 The Big One - Known Resource • Historic drilling of 29 holes to an average depth of 18 metres below surface has determined that 79,346 tonnes of copper bearing ore is in-situ, of which 51,377 tonnes is “indicated”, and 27,969 tonnes is “inferred” . • Based on a conservative copper grade of 2.2% - being the average grade from the drilling program - at least 1,298 tonnes of ore is in place (non-JORC). QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture. • At a copper price of $7,000/tonne = $9million. • Drilling did not target the higher grade portions of the lode at the Eastern end of the deposit, nor did it include the basalt structure 100 metres north. • If a copper grade of 4% were achieved - in line with production in 1997 via rough selection of ore - the copper content would be 2,360 tonnes, which at $7,000/tonne = $16.52 million. •
07 The Big One - Potential Expansion • How deep might mineralization continue to? Mount Gordon and Lady Annie are two of the closest operating mines in proximity of The Big One. • The Mount Gordon Copper Mine (c.40 km’s North- QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture. East), owned by ASX-listed Aditya Birla Minerals, was originally worked as a small open cut operation in 1927. Today it is a major underground copper mine. • In 2013 a scoping study undertaken for Aditya Birla confirmed mineralization extends to a depth of 1.5 km’s (Mammoth Deeps) and 0.8 km’s (Esperanza South) • At the opencast Lady Annie Copper Mine (20 km’s North-East), owned by CST Mining, a technical report QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture. undertaken by Snowden (2010) has confirmed the copper mineralization continues to depths of between 60 - 100 metres below surface.
08 Plain Creek Overview • The Plain Creek project is made up of two EPM’s covering 81 sub- blocks over a total of 261 square kilometres, and two EPMA’s covering 200 sub-blocks over a total of 644 square kilometres. • The project area is situated in the northern part of the Drummond Basin, and is prospective for phosphate mineralization within the siltstone units, and phosphate hosted uranium. • The Drummond Basin is a major intracratonic feature in which volcanically derived material accumulated. Units of interest were deposited during Early Carboniferous volcanogenic and sedimentary phase; Natal Formation, Bulliwallah Formation, Star of Hope Formation. • Within the Plain Creek area, the Bulliwallah Formation and overlying Natal Formation are folded about the South-East plunging Bulliwallah Syncline. To the West, folded over the Blowhard Syncline and Hopkins Anticline. QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture.
