NEW TORO–STELLAR PARTNERSHIP BOOSTS PRIME
S.A. GAWLER CRATON URANIUM PROSPECT
Exploration of one of South Australia’s prime Gawler Craton uranium projects is to
be boosted under a proposed new joint venture announced today between Toro
Energy and Stellar Resources.
Uranium explorer, Toro Energy Limited (ASX code “TOE”), plans to spend more
than $3 million in a staged farm-in over the next four years on parts of the highly
prospective Warrior Project owned by listed base metals and gold explorer, Stellar
Resources Limited (ASX code “SRZ”).
The Stellar tenements, EL 3372 and EL 3369W – are to the immediate north and
south of the Toro Energy Warrior project tenement, EL 3040 – in which Toro
Energy is earning 75% of the uranium rights from Range River Gold Ltd.
The proposed joint venture provides Toro with access to a contiguous “whole of
Warrior uranium project” exploration corridor while Stellar retains a significant 30%
equity stake in any exploration success on its tenements, as it concentrates on its
key copper and gold projects.
Under a Memorandum of Understanding announced by Toro and Stellar today, both
companies are expected to formalise the Warrior joint venture within a month.
The acquisition is the first expansion move by Toro since it listed on the ASX in
March this year and coincides with the start this week by the Company on its first
major exploration work across its Warrior acreage.
Formal completion of the Joint Venture will allow the Stellar-owned acreage to be
included immediately in Toro’s newly launched Warrior exploration initiatives.
“Warrior has been called the most significant palaeochannel uranium occurrence
within SA’s Gawler Craton,” Toro’s Managing Director, Mr Greg Hall, said today.
“Previous drilling, including work by Stellar this year, Minotaur Exploration last year,
and PNC Exploration in the 1970s, has confirmed the widespread extent of uranium
within the Warrior palaeochannel,” Mr Hall said.

“We have reviewed all such data and believe it continues to show the uranium
potential of the tenements. Once the joint venture is formalised, we should be
readily able to add the Stellar acreage into this new work program.”
Stellar Chairman, Mr Tom Burrowes, said the proposed joint venture provided a
more rapid and higher level financial and exploration focus on the uranium potential
of EL 3372 and EL 3369W than under Stellar’s current project scheduling.
“We have exciting copper and gold projects maturing to critical stages elsewhere in
Australia and the Toro partnership allows our interest in Warrior to be significantly
advanced without loss of exposure to the project’s upside,” Mr Burrowes said.
“Subject to exploration success, any invigorated exploration drive at Warrior on a
sooner rather than later basis will also ensure maximum project potential for Stellar
and Toro for development and offtake opportunities.”
To generate additional exploration information from Warrior, Toro this week is
commencing a significant airborne EM survey on 400m spaced flight lines over the
Warrior palaeochannel as well as an infill drilling program over the lines previously
worked last year by Minotaur Exploration.
Warrior farm-in terms
Under the proposed joint venture terms, Toro will farm into Stellar’s EL 3372 and
EL 3369W tenements. The agreement includes:
• $150,000 up-front access payment
• $1.5 million exploration expenditure by Toro over 2 years to earn 51%
equity
• Toro can then elect to spend a further $1.75 million on exploration
expenditure over the following 2 years to increase its equity to 70%
• Stellar will retain a 30% equity after this $3.25 million spend.
