Core offering

Stelar Metals is a junior, ASX-listed critical minerals exploration company that discovers and advances mineral deposits across Australia. Its portfolio spans the flagship Hill of Leaders Tungsten Project in the Northern Territory plus copper (Baratta), lithium (Trident), copper-cobalt (Midas) and zinc (Linda) projects in New South Wales and South Australia, covering more than 2,400 km² of granted exploration tenure. The company has no commercial production; its 'product' is exploration-stage mineral assets progressed through JV/earn-in and acquisition deals.

Product overview

Stelar Metals (ASX:SLB) is a critical minerals exploration company offering a portfolio of Australian mineral exploration projects rather than a unified software platform. The portfolio comprises the flagship Hill of Leaders Tungsten Project in the Northern Territory (the company's primary strategic focus on tungsten and associated copper), the Baratta Copper Project and the Trident Lithium Project as standalone tenement packages, plus two grouped suites: the NSW Critical Minerals Projects (the Midas Copper-Cobalt Project and the Perseus Project near Broken Hill) and the South Australia Critical Minerals Projects (Perseus, Linda Zinc, Torrens, Baratta, Gunson and Evelyn Dam). The Baratta Copper Project appears both as a top-level standalone offering and within the South Australia Critical Minerals Projects grouping; the Perseus Project appears within both the NSW and South Australia groupings. Each named project is an individual exploration licence or grouping of licences targeting discovery of critical minerals (tungsten, copper, lithium, cobalt, zinc) essential to the technology, battery and renewable energy markets.

Products and services

• Hill of Leaders Tungsten Project Flagship exploration project on EL33232 covering 445 km² in the Tennant Creek mining region of the Northern Territory, targeting tungsten (with associated copper) mineralisation in a swarm of quartz veins, alteration zones and greisen over 100m wide by at least 2km long within the Hill of Leaders Granite. It is the company's primary strategic focus.
• Baratta Copper Project Comprises two South Australian licences prospective for sediment-hosted copper mineralisation analogous to the Central African Copperbelt, hosting a 7 km corridor of copper mineralisation and geophysical targets that have been overlooked by previous explorers. Includes the historic Baratta Copper Mine (produced copper ore 1896–1904), with the mineralised horizon extending into adjacent EL 6803. Stelar's rock chip sampling has returned assays up to 28.7% Cu.
• Trident Lithium Project Lithium exploration project on EL 8736 covering 260 km² approximately 50 km north of Broken Hill, NSW, extending over the historic Euriowie Pegmatite Tin Field and upper sequences of Broken Hill stratigraphy. Rock chip sampling returned 2–8.7% Li2O at Triumph, Trident, Lady Don and Sceptre; inaugural RC drilling intersected 8m @ 1.16% Li2O including 4m @ 1.85% Li2O, with multiple large zoned LCT-pegmatites mapped (Sabre >4,000m strike, Carnival >2,500m, Trident >3,000m, Pilgrim >2,000m, Typhoom >1,600m).
• NSW Critical Minerals Projects Suite of NSW critical-minerals exploration projects including the Midas Copper-Cobalt Project (EL 8732 & 8904, 187 km² about 50 km north-east of Broken Hill, prospective for copper and cobalt with NSW drilling approvals in place to test three prospect areas) and the Perseus Project (EL 8778, 272 km² on the Mundi Mundi Plain about 30 km west of Broken Hill, prospective for Mutooroo-style copper-cobalt and Bimba-style copper-gold mineralisation associated with iron-oxide formations).
• South Australia Critical Minerals Projects Suite of South Australian critical-minerals exploration projects covering three prospective geological domains in the Gawler Craton, Stuart Shelf and Adelaide Fold Belt. Includes Linda Zinc (EL 6263, 190 km² in the Flinders Ranges, prospective for MVT and Beltana-Kipushi type zinc-lead and Zambian-style copper); Gunson (EL 6812 & EL 6824); Evelyn Dam (EL 5792, 134 km² about 50 km south of Woomera, prospective for Olympic Dam style IOCG); Torrens (EL 6572 & EL 6264, about 1,200 km² at the north end of Lake Torrens, ~40 km from Olympic Dam, prospective for IOCG and sediment-hosted copper); Baratta (EL 6803, in the Flinders Ranges, prospective for Zambian-style SHCD and Beltana-Kipushi type mineralisation); and the Perseus Project.
