## Minestarters Atlas summary

Stelar Metals Limited reported a reduced net loss for the year ended June 30, 2026, and strengthened its financial position with a successful $2.628 million capital raise. The company entered into a binding earn-in agreement for the Hill of Leaders Tungsten Project in the Northern Territory, where initial surface sampling returned exceptional high-grade tungsten assays up to 15.69% WO₃, significantly enhancing the project's exploration potential. An upcoming maiden RC drilling program is planned to test the depth and continuity of this promising tungsten system.

Reasoning: The company reported a reduced net loss and strengthened its financial position with a successful capital raise. A new earn-in agreement for the Hill of Leaders Tungsten Project, supported by exceptional high-grade surface sample results, significantly enhances future exploration potential, despite an impairment charge on another project.

- Positive factor: new\_project\_acquisition

## Classification and evidence

**Agreement Signed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: No canonical definition is currently available.

Why it applies: The company signed a binding earn-in agreement for the Hill of Leaders Tungsten Project.

Evidence · text

> On 12 May 2026, Stelar Metals signed a binding earn-in agreement with F&amp;H Brothers Metals Pty Ltd over the Hill of Leaders Tungsten Project

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm.

Why it applies: The rock chip sample HOLA039 returned an exceptionally high-grade of 15.69% WO3, which is well above typical economic cut-off grades for tungsten deposits.

Evidence · text

> 15.69% WO₃ \(12.45% W\) - HOLA039

**High Grade**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: No canonical definition is currently available.

Why it applies: Several rock chip samples returned high grades of tungsten, with approximately one in four samples collected exceeding 1% WO3.

Evidence · text

> 7.76% WO₃ \(6.16% W\) - HOLA036

**High Grade**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: No canonical definition is currently available.

Why it applies: Several rock chip samples returned high grades of tungsten, with approximately one in four samples collected exceeding 1% WO3.

Evidence · text

> 4.96% WO₃ \(3.94% W\) - HOLA006

**High Grade**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: No canonical definition is currently available.

Why it applies: Several rock chip samples returned high grades of tungsten, with approximately one in four samples collected exceeding 1% WO3.

Evidence · text

> 4.45% WO₃ \(3.53% W\) - HOLA031

**Capital Raise Completed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: No canonical definition is currently available.

Why it applies: The company successfully completed a placement to raise approximately $2.628 million.

Evidence · text

> The Placement was undertaken under a single tranche using the Company’s existing available capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and was completed on 12 August 2026.

**Deleterious Elements Present**

Polarity: negative

Story-specific tag

Definition: Penalty elements \(arsenic, antimony, etc.\) or refractory concerns noted in the release.

Why it applies: Molybdenum is consistently associated with tungsten mineralisation, which can be a penalty element in some concentrates.

Evidence · text

> Assay results also indicated that molybdenum is consistently associated with tungsten mineralisation, returning an average assay of 0.026% Mo across the 18 samples, with a maximum value of 0.058% Mo

**Stale Data Re-release**

Polarity: negative

Story-specific tag

Definition: Historical results re-announced with no new assays or reinterpretation — low genuine novelty.

Why it applies: The document mentions historical aircore drilling results without indicating new assays or reinterpretation.

Evidence · text

> Historical workings at Hill of Leaders identified high-grade intersections from shallow aircore drilling

**Project Impairment**

Polarity: negative

Story-specific tag

Definition: No canonical definition is currently available.

Why it applies: The Evelyn Dam Project was fully impaired due to the target being considered too deep for the company to drill.

Evidence · text

> Stelar has fully impaired the carrying value of the Evelyn Dam Project

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
