en.Wedoany.com Reported - Stelar Metals has completed the first phase of field work at the Hill of Leaders tungsten project, located in Australia's Northern Territory.

The company collected 18 rock chips and grab samples from the tungsten mining area, which have been sent to a laboratory for analysis, with initial results expected in late June 2026.

Stelar confirmed that tungsten mineralization primarily occurs in the form of wolframite and scheelite, hosted within quartz veins and greisen alteration systems.

The mineralization consists of multiple sub-parallel and stacked quartz veins, distributed within a mineralized corridor up to 100 meters wide and over 2 kilometers long.

Executive Chairman Stephen Biggins stated that these mineralizations were discovered in outcrops and shallow historical mine workings, representing the results of the company's first field campaign at Hill of Leaders.

Accordingly, the first phase reverse circulation drilling program is scheduled to commence in July 2026, targeting approximately 3,000 meters across three sections. This will be followed by the first phase diamond drilling in the third quarter of 2026, covering 1,000 meters, and the second phase reverse circulation, diamond, and resource drilling in the fourth quarter of 2026 and beyond.

Biggins also revealed that the second phase of mapping and sampling programs is about to begin.

He stated that shareholders should expect the first tungsten assay results from the new project later this month, followed by the start of the reverse circulation drilling program in July.

The Hill of Leaders tungsten project is located in the Tennant Creek mining district of the Northern Territory, covering an area of 445 square kilometers.

Previous rock chip sampling at the project yielded surface grades including 6.10% tungsten, 2.10% tungsten, and 1.45% tungsten.

Stelar Metals is a junior exploration company focused on the discovery and production of critical minerals.
