(TSX‐V: SPX) ("Stellar" or the "Company") reports:
Trading Halt
Trading in the shares of Stellar was halted at the opening of the market on January 9, 2019 at the request of the
Company pending acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX‐V”) of a Fundamental Acquisition.
On January 7, 2017 stellar announced that had optioned up to a 100% interest in Birimian Geology Exploration
SARL (“BGE”), a Côte d’Ivoire company, which holds two d gold e xploration permits (pending) in Côte d’Ivoire.
Because this acquisition will be the only asset in Stellar (Ste llar sold its Balandougou Gold Project in October
2019) this Côte d’Ivoire acquisition, by definition, constitute s a Fundamental Acquisition as defined by Listings
Policy 5.3 and a halt in trading is mandated under that Policy.
Stellar has made its initial filing as required by Listings Policy 5.3 and will proceed as quickly as possible to
complete and file the documentation that will be required by the TSX‐V pursuant to Listings Policy 5.3.
The stock will resume trading only after required documentation is filed and the TSX‐V has approved the
acquisition.
