Estrella Resources Limited (ASX: ESR) (Estrella or the Company) is
pleased to provide its Activities Report for the quarter ended 31
December 2020.
The focus of work during the quarter was the Company’s exploration
program at the Carr Boyd Igneous Complex (CBIC), specifically
diamond drilling, geophysical surveying and geological interpretation
of the T5 nickel-copper-PGE discovery. The Carr Boyd infrastructure
was upgraded to facilitate a long-term exploration push. An exploration
work plan at Spargoville 5A, west of Kambalda, is also being
formulated.

Figure 1: High grade nickel sulphides showing cumulate magmatic sulphide textures
within the main massive-matrix sulphide zone. The mineralisation comprises breccia
clasts within the pyrrhotite-pentlandite-chalcopyrite sulphides, interstitial
sulphide/crystal intergrowth at the margins and chalcopyrite segregation within the
crystallised host pyroxenite. Coarse blebs of matrix sulphide are observed between
the crystallising host rock. (CBDD0030 - 436.7m-441.1m shown). This zone is
interpreted as one of several feeder zones within the CBIC.
Commenting on the December Quarter activities, Estrella Managing Director Chris Daws said:
“It has been defining period of exploration at the T5 nickel-copper discovery at Carr Boyd where
we returned a significant drill intersection of primary, massive Ni-Cu-PGE bearing sulphides. For
the quarter, we completed over 5,800 metres of diamond core drilling and have built up a good
understanding of the immediate geological environment surrounding T5 with a number of
significant nickel sulphide intersections returned. Our plan is to keep following the
mineralisation to its ultimate source.
“We initiated site works upgrading the Carr Boyd Access Road and Exploration Camp along with
the installation of a Site Office. These infrastructure upgrades are fundamental as we accelerate
our exploration efforts at the project.
“In addition, we continue to be supported by our shareholders via the exercise of options with
over $4M raised during the quarter, giving the Company a strong foundation from which to
accelerate our exploration efforts towards a potential world class discovery!”
CARR BOYD NICKEL PROJECT (100%)
The 75km2 Carr Boyd Igneous Complex (CBIC), hosts several occurrences of nickel and copper
sulphides and is the Company’s flagship asset. The two most significant occurrences discovered to
date are at the Carr Boyd Rocks Nickel-Copper Mine (WMC circa 1968), and now the T5 Discovery
made by Estrella 1.1km to the northwest in 2019. The CBIC was emplaced within the Archaean
Morelands Formation, a basalt-sedimentary dominated sequence containing numerous sulphide-rich
shales which in turn have been tapped by multiple ultramafic intrusions forming the base of the igneous
complex. Several other Ni-Cu occurrences within the complex are yet to be tested by the Company.
Estrella has been actively exploring the Carr Boyd Nickel Project (CBNP) since October 2017 and in
2019 the Company discovered new, primary Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide mineralisation at its T5 Prospect (see
ESR ASX releases on 28 May 2019 “Nickel Copper Discovery at Carr Boyd Rocks” and 8 July 2019
“Assay Results Confirm New Sulphide Nickel Discovery Zone at Carr Boyd Rocks”).

During the December Quarter the Company informed the market that a significant drill intersection of
primary, massive Ni-Cu-PGE bearing sulphides had been returned from CBDD030 (Figures 3 & 4) which
was drilled 300m south of the original T5 discovery zone (see ASX Announcement released 8th October
2020, “Significant Massive Nickel Sulphide Discovery at Carr Boyd”).
Drilling
The T5 zone was originally identified in 2019 following RC drilling of a HP FLTEM anomaly. Laboratory
analysis of the core from CBDD030 subsequently returned a downhole interval of 13.9m @ 1.06% Ni,
0.38% Cu, 1.56g/t Ag and 0.44g/t Pt+Pd from 431.6m. This included a high-grade core zone which
assayed 3.7m @ 2.85% Ni, 0.65% Cu, 0.13% Co, 2.58g/t Ag & 0.75g/t Au+Pt+Pd. (see ASX
Announcement released 4th November 2020, “Assays Confirm Significant High-Grade Magmatic Nickel
Sulphide Discovery”). The intervals quoted are downhole lengths, true thicknesses are not yet known.
Interpretation of the geology and textures within the core led the Company to believethe T5 Discovery
represents the primary accumulation of Ni-Cu-PGE rich sulphides within and at the basal contact of a
more extensive north-south oriented, pyroxenitic feeder-zone. The mineralisation is distinctively different
to the Ni-Cu gabbro breccia mineralisation mined at the Carr Boyd Nickel Mine which the Company
believes is slightly younger, yet related to the T5 Mineralisation. Work on that front continues.
Figure 3: Ni-Cu bearing massive sulphide zone in
diamond drill hole CBDD0030 (436.7m-437.6m).
Figure 4: Close-up of sulphides from CBDD0030
The sulphide zone in CBDD030 forms unique magmatic nickel sulphide textures comprising pyrrhotite,
pentlandite and chalcopyrite (Figure 5). Further study of the whole pyroxenite intersection showed
accumulation and brecciation textures consistent with an east-facing younging direction and confirms
the sulphides are accumulating on the Western Basal Contact.

interstitial sulphide/crystal intergrowth at the margin, and chalcopyrite segregation within the crystallised host
pyroxenite.
The Company has completed 12 diamond holes since the commencement of drilling (Table 2) for a total
of 5,809.6m at the end of the December 2020 quarter with CBDD031 of the planned deep drill program
in progress at the end of the quarter.

Downhole Geophysics (DHTEM)
Down-Hole Transient Electro-Magnetic (DHTEM) surveying was completed on diamond core hole
CBD0030 and a significant anomaly was announced to the market on 20th October 2020 (see ASX
Announcement entitled “Large Conductive Body Defined Surrounding Nickel Sulphides”).
DHTEM surveying was completed using two alternate coupling loop configurations and was modelled
by Southern Geoscience Consultants. The DHTEM data defined a clear massive sulphide
signature/conductor associated with the nickel mineralisation which is unconstrained at depth and may
be open in all directions. The survey used moderate base frequency readings, providing a moderate to
high conductance estimate of up to 11,000 Siemens, which will potentially increase further with lower
base frequency readings. Southern Geoscience have recommended using these lower base
frequencies for upcoming surveys to test further for high conductance targets out beyond the zone of
known mineralisation.
Conditions for the survey were excellent with no overburden or stratigraphic geological units to cause
false anomalies/interference (i.e. black shales/graphite etc.) therefore the DHTEM is seeing only the
sulphide mineralisation. Multiple model scenarios were run using varied channel timeframes, producing
two plates with an overall geometry of ~75-850 dip to the E/ESE (Figure 6). The hole intersected close
to the centroid of the modelled conductor plates which have moderate to high conductance levels
(6,000-11,000 SI). The late channel model has the best fit and is deemed locally robust. The DHTEM
anomalism remains open at depth and deeper DHTEM coverage is required in upcoming diamond
holes. In addition, extensional sulphide mineralisation could also be present if structure/contact
complexity has electrically disconnected sulphide pods/bodies in the immediate vicinity of the known
mineralisation.
Figure 6: DHTEM modelling of the T5 Conductor based on results from CBDD030
This is a significant breakthrough in the development of the T5 Prospect that was initially investigated
in mid-2019 through drill testing of a High-Powered Fixed Loop TEM survey target located to the north
of the historical intersections.
Figure 7 shows a cross-section 300m to the north of CBDD030 where DHTEM surveying of the basal
contact was due to take place at the end of the quarter.

length of 400m.
Upgrade of Carr Boyd Infrastructure
In addition to exploration, site works upgrading the Carr Boyd access road and exploration camp were
initiated along with the installation of a site office. These upgrades were necessary to sustain and expand
the current exploration efforts ready for the longer term. Environmental works were also conducted to
clean up from decades of past exploration and mining by other companies. Some pictures of the
significant upgrades to project infrastructure are included below.
Figures 8: From Top-Left: Estrella MD Chris Daws “Strapped In” attaching a new sign to the Site Office; Exploration Camp at night;
Construction of leach drains; Final bore installation down the old Carr Boyd Shaft; Estrella’s first fuel delivery
Camp works included the construction of 16 en-suited rooms, kitchen, dry-mess, shower block and
laundry, leach drains and power and potable water infrastructure. Other site works included a permanent
bore to service the site (may be combined with an RO plant to service the camp), a fuel dispensing system,
core yard upgrade, site office and access road upgrade.
Estrella would like to thank all the local North Eastern Goldfields businesses and contractors for their
dedication to the project especially over the Christmas and New Year, the Company look forward to
working with you further as the project progresses in 2021.
SPARGOVILLE NICKEL PROJECT (100%)
During the December quarter the Company has continued to work up a development strategy for the
high-grade nickel resource at the Spargoville 5A nickel project. The strategy involves the development
of a small open cut mine at the 5A to access the high-grade nickel oxide and transitional nickel ore for
transportation to a near-by treatment facility. The Company is currently planning to explore the
metallurgical characteristics more closely by obtaining a 3,000-tonne exploration sample from within the
5A resource. Permitting is being sought so this work can commence upon a suitable contract being
entered into for the removal and transportation of the exploration sample.
