Stellar Resources continues to intersect broad zones of tin mineralization at the Heemskirk Tin Project with the company close to half way through 10,000 meter diamond drilling program which will run through to April 2013.

The latest highlights include:
1. ZS113W: 31 meters at 1.05% tin from 266 meters including 7 meters at 1.78% tin;
2. ZS115: 16 meters at 0.62% tin, 100 meters down plunge from ZS113;
3. ZQ117: 6 meters at 0.42% tin, 728 gram per tonne silver, 17.49% lead and 2.59% zinc from 105 meters and
4. ZQ117: 3 meters at 0.56% tin from 396 meters a deeper extension of the Queen Hill lode.

What is so important with these intersections is that they show negligible levels of acid soluble tin indicating that 98% or more of tin mineralization is in the form of cassiterite, the most readily recoverable tin mineral.

Mr Peter Blight CEO of Stellar Resources said that “These are pleasing results. ZS113W confirms the wide high grade intersection in the parent hole ZS113 and hole ZS115 demonstrates that this wide zone continues at least 100 meters down plunge from ZS113 upgrading the tonnage potential for Severn. The intersection of ore grade tin mineralization at 396 meters in ZQ117 also confirms the untested potential of the Queen Hill deposit at depth. ZQ117 intersected high grade silver and base metals updip from Severn and within 100 meters of the surface."

Mr Blight said that historical mining in the Zeehan district was directed at these vein deposits which are high grade but often discontinuous and narrow. Where they are within close proximity of ore grade tin mineralization, as appears to be the case at Severn they could be viable secondary mining targets.
