Silver Star Resources brings together the Twin Hills, Mount Gunyan and Silver Spur mines, along with the associated mining leases and exploration permits, across approximately 73,639 hectares in Queensland, Australia.
Located near Texas on the Queensland–New South Wales border, the project combines a proven mining history with established infrastructure, defined silver resources, reprocessing potential, and broader district-scale exploration upside.
Silver Star Resources is centred on a large and highly prospective mineral district near Texas, Queensland. The project incorporates historical mining centres, existing mining leases, and extensive exploration ground across a strategically assembled land package in one of Australia’s established mining jurisdictions.
This is not a greenfield concept. Silver Star Resources combines historical production, existing site infrastructure, defined mineral resources, and district-scale exploration potential, creating multiple pathways for future development and value growth.
Silver Star Resources is built around a historical mining district with a proven operating history. Previous mining activity, established infrastructure, and past capital investment provide a strong foundation for future redevelopment and help distinguish the project from early-stage exploration ventures.
The project spans approximately 736.4km² / 73,639 hectares, covering a substantial footprint across the Texas district. This extensive landholding provides exposure to multiple deposits, near-resource extensions, and broader regional exploration opportunities.
Silver Star Resources has a current JORC silver equivalent resource of 26.55 million ounces, with ongoing work directed toward growing the resource base through refined geological interpretation and additional drilling.
The project includes approximately 2.5 million tonnes of historical tailings and stockpiles, containing an estimated 6.35 million ounces of AgEq in above-ground resource and representing an additional development pathway. Because these materials are already accessible on site, they may provide an opportunity for value recovery and early cashflow generation without the need for additional mining, while supporting broader project advancement.
In addition to silver, the district hosts exploration potential for antimony, copper, gold, lead and zinc, supported by historical mining, geological data, and newly identified targets across the broader project area.
Silver Star Resources mining leases and exploration permits are strategically located near Texas, Queensland, along the Queensland–New South Wales border. The site benefits from practical access to regional infrastructure and services, situated approximately four hours from Brisbane and around nine hours from Sydney CBD.
This location supports project accessibility while placing Silver Star Resources within a well-known and highly prospective mineral region.

Mining Leases and Exploration Permits
With further geological work underway and updated district-scale interpretation being developed, the project offers clear potential for additional resource growth.
The broader district is not limited to a single deposit. Silver Star Resources consolidated landholding incorporates multiple known mineralised zones, near-resource opportunities, and underexplored targets that may contribute to future expansion.
A key part of the Silver Star Resources opportunity is the presence of approximately 2.5 million tonnes of historical tailings and stockpiles already located on site. These materials represent a potential opportunity for future reprocessing and recovery.
Previous processing achieved less than 50% silver recovery, with the potential for materially improved outcomes through upgraded processing methods. Improved recovery rates are expected to be achieved with the support of specialised commissioning and processing companies that bring decades of experience in optimising similar material streams, allowing this legacy material to form part of a broader redevelopment strategy.
Silver Star Resources controls a large polymetallic system with known mineralisation across silver, lead, zinc, copper, gold and antimony. Ongoing geological work and updated deposit models are helping define new drill targets and possible extensions to known mineralisation across the district.
With multiple targets still untested, Silver Star Resources offers meaningful upside beyond its current defined resource base.
Silver Star Resources is founded on a district with a long and established mining legacy. The site has seen production, exploration, development, and infrastructure investment over decades, followed by continued interest in exploration and redevelopment through changing market cycles, culminating in its acquisition by Silver Star Resources in December 2024.
