Source: public resource and reserve statements Producers are underground mines that are comparable with Heemskirk No tonnage and grade information available for underground mines in China and Bolivia or surface mines in Indonesia
grade tonnage curve – it has potential to increase grade and tonnes
Rafael and Renison facing declining grade as are other producers
in higher risk jurisdictions
face higher infrastructure and service costs compared with Heemskirk
32
Investment in the best tin project in Australia – highest grade undeveloped tin project listed on the Australian Stock Exchange Low cost investment – market capitalization undervalues Stellar’s tin assets Significant exploration potential – upside is a 3x increase in the resource base Opportunity to invest in the only Australian tin asset that has the potential to replace Rension Tin Tin is emerging as an energy metal – second generation battery raw material demand to drive opportunities for tin Tin supply growth is constrained by limited access to capital which will underpin higher prices

When used is this report, words such as “could”, “plan”, “estimate”, “expert”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “potential”, “should”, and similar expressions are forward-looking statements. In addition, summaries of Exploration Results and estimates of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves could also be forward-looking statements. Although Stellar Resources Limited believes that its expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements involve risks and uncertainties and no assurance can be given that actual results will be consistent with these forward–looking statements.
