Estrella Resources Limited (ASX: ESR) (Estrella or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has
commenced a series of investor visits to its high-grade manganese prospects located in Timor-Leste over
the next two weeks.
Commenting on the visits, Estrella Managing Director Chris Daws said:
“I am very pleased with the international interest in Estrella and what we are uncovering within our exploration
concessions in Timor-Leste in such a short time since we took possession of these assets in March 2024.
.
We have commenced site visits with interested parties to assist Estrella and its JV to develop what looks to
be turning into a fantastic manganese opportunity on the doorstep to South-East Asia.
I believe Timor-Leste can be a world player in the supply of sea-borne high-grade manganese and we are
doing everything we can possible to make this a reality.
I appreciate the continued great work of our teams in the field, the support of our Timor-Leste partners and
the government bodies charged with the development of an exploration and mining industry in Timor-Leste.”

The aim of the visits is to bolster the Company’s support to explore and hopefully develop these exciting
new opportunities as the in-country geological team continues to locate surficial manganese mineralisation.
