Adelaide, Australia, May 20, 2026 - (ABN Newswire) - Stelar Metals Limited (ASX:SLB) have provided a presentation on the recent Hill of Leaders Tungsten Project acquisition.
Project Overview
The Hill of Leaders Tungsten Project is located on exploration licence EL33232 covering a large 445km2 prospective area in the world-class Tennant Creek mining region of the Northern Territory. The project is well serviced by infrastructure, located approximately 50km from the Stuart Highway and rail connecting the project to Darwin and Darwin Port.
The project sits within the Tennant Creek Inlier, a highly mineralised terrane that hosts several significant copper-gold deposits, with the area also hosting nearby comparable tungsten deposits including Hatches Creek (held by Tungsten Mining NL, ASX:TGN).
Stephen Biggins, Executive Chair, commented:
"Tungsten is one of the most strategically important critical minerals in the world right now, with prices surging nearly 900% in twelve months as Western governments move to de-couple from Chinese supply chains.
Hill of Leaders has genuine discovery potential of scale and we are moving quickly to advance it."
