Estrella’s Werumata Assays Support Ambition for 500Mt Low-Impurity Limestone Resource

Estrella Resources Limited ( (AU:ESR) ) just unveiled an update.

Estrella Resources has reported initial assay results from its maiden drilling campaign at the Werumata limestone project in Timor-Leste, covering about a quarter of samples collected in 2025. Drilling across two large limestone plateaus has intersected Baucau Limestone up to 55 metres averaging 84% calcium carbonate and Batu Putih chalk up to 53 metres averaging 80% calcium carbonate, both with low magnesium and moderate silica levels.

The broad, low-impurity intersections support Estrella’s goal of defining a JORC-compliant inferred mineral resource of at least 500 million tonnes of limestone from the interpreted calcite deposit. Management highlights that the low magnesium content should enable a wider range of higher-value uses, including as a neutralising agent for nearby mining operations, potentially improving environmental outcomes and project economics while strengthening the company’s growth prospects in the region.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:ESR) stock is a Hold with a A$0.03 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Estrella Resources Limited stock, see the AU:ESR Stock Forecast page.
