Estrella Resources Limited (ASX: ESR) (Estrella or Company) is pleased to provide its Activities Report
for the quarter ended 31 December 2018.
WORK SUMMARY
The focus of fieldwork during the quarter was the Carr Boyd Layered Complex (CBLC), and the
Spargoville Nickel Project.
At Carr Boyd, Phase III ground HPEM surveying over the northern CBLC and the Fosters Hill area was
completed.
At Spargoville, drilling was completed on two high priority drill targets. One was sampling the highgrade mineralisation beneath the 5A open pit for metallurgical testwork and economic evaluations. The
other was an EM target located between the 5A and 5B mines. Both objectives were successfully
completed.
GROUND HPEM SURVEYING AT CARR BOYD
Phase II and Phase III moving loop HPEM surveys extending north from the Phase I survey were
completed during the quarter, screening the interpreted basal contact position and immediate footwall
sequence to over 4km north of the Carr Boyd Mine.
There are several historic high priority exploration targets and prospects in this area based on surface
geochemistry, downhole geochemistry, aero-magnetics, ground gravity, and interpreted geology
datasets. HPEM has now defined two significant conductors indicative of the presence of welldeveloped sulphides associated with two of the exploration targets, Target A and Target 5.
The Fosters Hill survey was also completed as part of the Phase II program.
Figure 1. Geological map of the CBLC with outlines of Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III HPEM. Also shown are all ranked
exploration targets (yellow dots) and advanced prospect locations (red dots).
TARGET 5
The first known report of this target appears in an internal company report written for Titan Resources
in 2004. It is described again in an internal company report written for Yilgarn Mining in 2008.
The target is defined by a 450m long zone of highly anomalous nickel and copper mineralisation in
drilling, located approximately 100m south of the newly defined EM conductor. The mineralisation and
EM conductor appear to be located on or very close to the interpreted basal contact position of the
CBLC. Historic drilling does not appear to have tested the conductor defined by the recently completed
Phase II HPEM.
Figure 2. Geological map showing the location of the T5 EM conductor, The T5 geochemical halo and nickel sulphide
location, drillhole collar locations, and distance to the Carr Boyd Mine.
The EM conductor is discrete and moderately to highly conductive. The modelled conductance is 3000
– 5000S, making this a very high priority drill target.
Historic drilling returned many anomalous results over a 450m strike length of the interpreted basal
contact at Target 5. The best of which was 3.35m at 0.79% Ni and 0.35% Cu, including 0.61m at
2.12% Ni and 0.56% Cu from 100.89m in GD124.* This occurs in a zone of disseminated and matrix
sulphide on the interpreted basal contact of the CBLC. This is very positive support for the EM
conductor located approximately 300m along strike to the north.

*Refer to ESR announcement “EM Confirms Two High Priority Targets at Carr Boyd” 26 November 2018
TARGET A
This is a conceptual satellite style target located on an interpreted fault outside of the CBLC, in the
footwall sequence. The target area also appears in the Titan and Yilgarn Mining reports, although the
newly defined EM conductor is located approximately 200m further west, on a different magnetic feature.
A diamond drillhole spudded by Defiance Mining in 1997, DD97CB043 appears to target the conductor
position, suggesting it was detected by a SiroTEM survey completed at that time. Interrogation of the
available datasets suggests the hole did not intersect the conductor, although more investigation is
required to confirm this.
The aim is to locate the hole collar in the field and have it picked up by a licensed surveyor. If the hole
can be re-entered and gyro surveyed that will also be completed. As geological logs are not available
for the hole, the core will be re logged and physical property tests carried out on it to determine the best
course of action for the EM target (if historic core can be located).
ABOUT THE PROJECT AND THE CBLC
The CBLC is a 75km2 layered mafic igneous complex, which hosts several occurrences of nickel and
copper sulphides. The most significant occurrence discovered to date is at the Carr Boyd Rocks mine,
where mineralisation is hosted by bronzitite breccias (pyroxenites) emplaced within the gabbroic
sequence of the Complex. The CBLC is in a Tier 1 jurisdiction approximately 80km north north-east of
Kalgoorlie Western Australia. An all-weather haul road accessible by Estrella under a granted
miscellaneous license connects the Project to the Goldfields Highway via Scotia.
A “Voisey Bay” style model has not been adequately explored within the CBLC. This represents a
compelling exploration target opportunity which the Company will continue to aggressively pursue.
SPARGOVILLE 5A TARGET
Recent drilling has exceeded the Company expectations at 5A. Assay results returned from the
Company’s maiden drilling program have been consistently higher than historic drilling. The presence
of elevated platinum group and cobalt mineralisation in the results is also a very encouraging
development for the project.
Figure 5. Cross Section section of Spargoville 5A showing the drill hole trace for RC hole KWC0002. Note historic drilling
has been left off the cross section for clarity.+
Bulk samples have been collected from the drill spoils to conduct metallurgical test work and delivered
to a laboratory in Perth, WA. There have been significant advances in metallurgical technology and
the Company is excited by the significant platinum group element grades, and the high cobalt price have
the potential to significantly enhance the economics of the project.
Recent interrogation of historic geophysical datasets has revealed the presence of several high priority
EM targets, which will be targeted by future drilling. Updates on these geophysical targets will be
provided once the interrogation process is completed.

M15/96-C1 TARGET
An EM survey completed by Consolidated Minerals in 2010 on neighbouring tenement M15/96 identified
this EM conductor, which was located close the eastern boundary of M15/395. KWC0003 targeted this
conductor, which was found to be caused by a sulphidic black shale horizon in ultramafics and no follow
up work will be required.
There are several historic EM targets within the Spargoville Project tenure which the Company is
currently interrogating and further updates will be provided once this is completed.

+Refer to ESR announcement “Spectacular Maiden Drill Results Spargoville” 06 December 2018
MUNDA PROJECT
With the gold price rising above A$1800 per oz the Munda gold resource is becoming a potentially
valuable asset for the Company. Efforts are currently underway to assess options to realise this
increasing value for the benefit of shareholders.
Figure 10. Cross section of Munda showing some of the thicker higher grade gold intercepts and interpreted gold
shoots.x
xRefer to ESR announcement “ESR to Acquire Munda Gold and Spargoville Nickel Projects” 04 September 2017
The Company plans to test a new “plunging shoot” structural interpretation to the high-grade gold
mineralisation. The additional drilling and assay information obtained from this work will be used to
update the current JORC2012 Mineral Resource of 511,000t @ 2.82g/t Au for 46,337 ounces Au. x
