The market will start to look at Esr very differently, page-20

Cheers Pogues, My old mate!
Further!
Early indications suggest Estrella Resources may be sitting on some of the most manganese-rich dirt in the world by percentage.

I’ve been researching where ESR’s prospects fit globally by grade, and based on current data, their rock chip samples place them at the very top.

Timor-Leste samples have returned exceptionally high grades—63.4% and 57.5% Mn at Ira Miri, and 60.8% Mn at Lalena.

These results position Estrella among the global leaders in raw manganese content, but now comes the critical challenge: defining a marketable, large-scale ore body that can be commercially mined and monetized.

Here’s how these numbers stack up globally:

High-grade manganese rock chip and core results from around the world:

- Estrella Resources, Timor-Leste: 63.4%, 60.8%, and 57.5% Mn (rock chip)

- Doherty Project, NSW, Australia: up to 59.29% Mn (rock chip)

- Wandanya Project, WA, Australia: up to 54% Mn (rock chip)

- Brumby Creek, WA, Australia: up to 48.5% Mn (rock chip)

- Emily Project, Minnesota, USA: core samples averaging 44.5% Mn, some exceeding 50% Mn

Highest-grade mined manganese deposits:

- Tambao Deposit, Burkina Faso: 52–53% Mn

- Nchwaning Mine, South Africa: 42.5% Mn

- Mamatwan Mine, South Africa: 40% Mn

Estrella’s next step is clear: shift from discovery to definition.
