COMPANY PROJECTS
Strike Resources Limited (ASX:SRK) is an ASX listed resource company which is developing the Paulsens
East Iron Ore Mine in Western Australia – Strike has exported 66,618 tonnes of ~62% Fe Lump DSO (mined
from surface detrital material) from Utah Point (Port Hedland) and is developing a ~1.8Mtpa export solution
out of the Port of Ashburton (Onslow). Strike also owns the high grade Apurimac Iron Ore Project in Peru
where it has exported “Apurimac Premium Lump” DSO product of ~65% Fe. Strike has a 31.41M (30.49%)
shareholding in Lithium Energy Limited (ASX:LEL), which was spun-out of Strike under an IPO in May 2021.
Lithium Energy is developing battery minerals related assets - the Solaroz Lithium Brine Project in Argentina
and the Burke and Corella Graphite Projects in Queensland.
Paulsens East Iron Ore Project (Pilbara, Western Australia)
(Strike – 100%)
The Paulsens East Iron Ore Project (Paulsens East or Project) is located ~235km by road east of Onslow
(and the Port of Ashburton) and ~650km by road south of Port Hedland in the Pilbara, Western Australia (refer
Figure 1).

Strike completed a maiden shipment of 66,618 tonnes of iron ore from Paulsens East in September 2022,
which involved the mining of surface detrital material to produce Paulsens East Lump direct shipping iron ore
(DSO), which was exported to China from the Utah Point Multi-User Bulk Handling Facility (Utah Point) at
Port Hedland. The specifications of this first shipment of Paulsens East Lump DSO are in Table 1.

Strike is now undertaking Stage 2 Development of Paulsens East, which will involve conventional open pit
mining of the Paulsens East hematite ridge, ramping up to an annualised production rate of up to ~1.8 Mtpa,
with road train haulage to and export (via transhipment operations) through the Port of Ashburton near
Onslow.
Consortium for Development of Iron Ore Export Facility at Port of Ashburton
Strike, CZR Resources Ltd (ASX:CZR) and transhipment services provider CSL Australia Pty Ltd have
entered into a binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the formation of a Port of Ashburton
Consortium (PAC) to work with relevant authorities to secure approvals for the development of a 5 Mtpa
capacity multi-user bulk loading facility for the export of iron ore from the Port of Ashburton, Onslow (the Port
of Ashburton Export Facility or Facility). 1
Strike, as an existing producer of iron ore from its Paulsens East Iron Ore Project, and CZR, as a future iron
ore producer from the development of its Robe Mesa Iron Ore and Ashburton Magnetite Projects, propose to
utilise the Port of Ashburton Export Facility for the export of iron ore from their existing and proposed iron
mines respectively.

COMPANY PROJECTS
The Facility’s close proximity to their current and proposed mining operations has the potential to significantly
lower trucking costs compared to exporting through Utah Point in Port Hedland. In the case of Strike and its
Paulsens East Iron Ore Mine, this involves a trucking distance of ~235km to the Port of Ashburton versus
~650km to Utah Point in Port Hedland (refer Figure 1), significantly reducing trucking costs from mine to port.
Both parties believe that combining their export operations through the Port of Ashburton Export Facility
provides considerable economies of scale and cost reductions in shipping and transport costs.
CSL Australia is a division of the CSL Group Inc., which is the world’s largest owner and operator of self-
unloading vessels. CSL Australia currently provides transhipment services for the export of iron ore from
Cape Preston in Western Australia and Whyalla in South Australia. CSL has considerable experience in the
loading and transportation of bulk materials including iron ore and has agreed to join the PAC as a part-owner
of the Port of Ashburton Export Facility and to provide transhipment services to Strike and CZR.
Figure 3: Quay at Port of Ashburton, Onslow
Strike’s participation and ownership interest is 25% (CZR – 50% and CSL – 25%). Strike will have a one-
third share of the (proposed (minimum) 5 Mtpa) export capacity from the Port of Ashburton Export Facility.

The PAC has incorporated Ashburton Export Facility Pty Ltd (AEFPL) as the proposed operating company
with shareholdings reflecting each member’s interest in the PAC (as above).

The PAC members are working with relevant authorities to develop and finalise:
•
•
designs for an integrated iron ore export facility at the Port of Ashburton, including road train unloading,
storage shed, transhipment vessel (TSV) loader and ancillary fixed and mobile infrastructure; and
the operating parameters and terms of a TSV to be provided by CSL from its existing shipping fleet
capable of discharging a minimum annualised capacity of 5 Mtpa of iron ore into cape-size ocean-
going vessels (OGV) at an offshore transhipment anchorage point off the Port of Ashburton.
The Pilbara Ports Authority (PPA) has agreed for the PAC/AEFPL to submit a Development Application for
the Port of Ashburton Export Facility (DA). This consent represents a significant development for the PAC.
The DA is expected to be lodged with PPA shortly. The DA, if approved, will, amongst other things, be subject
to compliance with PPA requirements and gaining broader stakeholder support. With the Port of Ashburton
Export Facility concept now supported by PPA, the PAC can continue its engagement with local stakeholders
with a clear operating strategy, execution plan and timeline to proposed production.
The concept design for the Facility utilises the existing ‘common user’ East Port Precinct (EPP) within the
Port of Ashburton and proposes a multi-user facility with landside infrastructure for haulage and truck
unloading, material storage and TSV ship loading with a design capacity of up to 5 Mtpa. The marine side of
the PAC’s proposal includes a 12kt TSV with the ability to self-load into cape-size OGV’s, providing
economies of scale on freight costs.
As shown in Figure 5, the proposed Facility infrastructure has been positioned on the East Quay and occupies
a limited footprint to ensure that the other port functions are not inhibited. The Facility will consist of three
main operational areas:
•
•
•
Haulage and truck unloading,
Material storage and ship loading, and
Offshore marine operations including transhipment and OGV loading.
The Facility will initially focus on exporting DSO lump and fines from Strike and CZR as PAC ‘foundation
exporters,’ with potential for smaller in-fill third-party offtakes to cover gaps in production or opportunities.
The Facility will also be developed to be potentially compatible with a range of bulk mineral products to ensure
that access covers a broad range of other operations and benefits multiple miners.
The PAC is also finalising the commercial parameters of proposed landside and offshore transhipment
operations. Upon the grant of relevant approvals, the PAC members will negotiate necessary agreements
for the construction and operation of the Port of Ashburton Export Facility and for CSL to provide transhipment
services for the export of iron ore from such facility.
The material terms of the MOU (dated 14 December 2022) between Paulsens East Iron Ore Pty Ltd (the
Paulsens East operating subsidiary of Strike), CZR and CSL are as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
The parties will work together to secure necessary approvals for the construction and operation of the
Port of Ashburton Export Facility.
The parties agree to share the costs and expenses of the approvals process in proportion to their
participating interest in the PAC.
CSL will undertake a feasibility study on the landside transhipment and marine operations and will
have a first right of refusal to provide transhipment services from the Port of Ashburton Export Facility.
The participation interest and cost contribution of each party in the PAC and future ownership of the
Port of Ashburton Export Facility is as follows: CZR – 50%, CSL – 25% and Strike – 25% (adjusted
proportionately if a party does not wish to proceed with a definitive agreement).
Each of CZR and SRK will have access to export capacity at the Port of Ashburton Export Facility in
the following proportions: CZR – 66.67% and Strike – 33.33% (subject to a mechanism for allocating
unused capacity, including to third parties).

Development Options for Paulsens East
The WA Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) has (January 2023) granted a second
Works Approval under the Environmental Protection Act 1986 for offshore marine operations, principally
related to the Category 58 bulk loading of up to 1.8 Mtpa (10,000 tonnes per day) of iron ore from a TSV to
OGV’s in a designated offshore anchorage area ~14 nautical miles from the Port of Ashburton.2
Strike received an earlier (landside) Works Approval from DWER in July 2022 to undertake Category 58 bulk
loading and unloading of up to 1.8 Mtpa (10,000 tonnes per day) of iron ore from the Port of Ashburton.3

The securing of these key regulatory Works Approvals in respect of the Port of Ashburton completes all
DWER approvals required for the commencement of export operations from the Port of Ashburton and are
important steps in the Stage 2 development plans of Strike.
The current Works Approvals received allow Strike to commence its Stage 2 Development plans for Paulsens
East as a stand-alone operation or serve as a base for the Port of Ashburton Consortium to build upon the
current approvals received by Strike to expand proposed operations up to 5 Mtpa with separate Works
Approvals being obtained by AEFPL using the Strike Works Approvals as a precedent for proposed expanded
operations.
As such, Strike retains the option to develop its own 1.8 Mtpa iron ore export operation at the Port of
Ashburton.
Strike was also focused on the following key activities related to Paulsens East mining operations:
•
•
•
•
Optimisation works around pit shells, mine design, extraction sequencing, and early shipping
forecasts aligned with the PAC’s Port of Ashburton Export Facility proposed operations;
Scoping and development of geotechnical work packs and additional risk assessments related to
early stage mining and pioneering;
Ongoing contractor engagement and production optimisation workshops; and
Statutory compliance activities, including monitoring and reporting activities, site maintenance
works and stakeholder engagement.

Strike notes that:
•
•
The Offtake Agreement9 (pursuant to which the first shipment of 35,000 tonnes to China was
undertaken) is on a CFR basis (where Strike bears the cost of shipment). As such, subsequent
shipments to China will be subject to negotiation of an acceptable price with the offtake counterparty
and securing a ship charter on terms acceptable to Strike.
The second shipment (of 15,000 tonnes to a South American steel mill) was made on an FOB basis
(where the buyer is responsible for the shipment cost) with a competitive market price calculated by
reference to the high grade nature of the Apurimac Lump DSO ore. This shipment was successfully
used by the buyer as an industrial trial for their steel manufacturing facility.
Strike is investigating further shipments from Peru, subject to satisfaction with a number of matters including
negotiation of an acceptable price (referenced to the benchmark iron ore price) and Strike securing sufficient
working capital to fund production to this end.
JORC Mineral Resource
A JORC (2012) Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource has been defined at the main Opaban 1 and Opaban
3 concessions of 269Mt of iron ore at 57.3% Fe (142 Mt Indicated Resource at 57.8% Fe and 127 Mt Inferred
Resource at 56.7% Fe)10.
The Opaban 3 Mineral Resource has been diminished by production and sales of 50,095 tonnes of lump iron ore
grading 65.78% Fe, 2.42% SiO2, 0.72% Al2O3, 0.057% P and 0.09% S.
In addition to the current JORC resource, there is significant exploration potential given the deposits are open at
depth and along strike with extensive undrilled gravity and magnetic anomalies.
Feasibility Studies
Strike completed a Pre-Feasibility Study on the Apurimac Project in 200811 (subsequently updated in 201012), which
indicated the clear potential for development of a world class iron ore project, with competitive capital costs and
very low operating costs:
•
•
The 2008 Pre-Feasibility Study undertaken by Snowden Mining Industry Consultants and SKM utilised a
proposed slurry pipeline configuration as the preferred transport solution (under the study). For further
details, refer to Strike’s ASX Announcement dated 23 July 2008: Prefeasibility Results Confirm World Class
Prospects in Peru;
Further infrastructure studies were undertaken by Ausenco Sandwell and SRK Consulting in 2010 with the
purpose to further compare the economics of a slurry pipeline versus railway infrastructure solutions at
various production levels. For further details, refer to Strike’s ASX Announcement dated 23 November 2010:
Apurimac Project Update and Strike’s December 2010 Quarterly Report.
In 2021, Ausenco completed a (high level) review of the 2008 and 2010 studies and gap and trade-off analyses to
identify opportunities to reduce project capex and increase project execution security, taking into account current
cost estimates, technology advancements (since 2010) and current/expected market conditions.

Capitalised Mine development expenditure pertains to the Paulsens East Iron Ore Project and represents the
costs incurred in preparing the project for production, including plant and equipment and operating costs
incurred before production commences. Upon the commencement of production, these capitalised Mine
development costs are transferred to Mining properties (under property, plant and equipment) and will be
subject to amortisation. The reclassification to Mining properties will be considered after Strike has secured
project finance and made an investment decision to commence Stage 2 Production (involving the mining of
the Paulsens East hematite ridge for export at the rate of up to approximately 1.8 million tonnes per annum).

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Paulsens East Iron Ore Project (Pilbara, Western Australia)
(Strike – 100%)
The Paulsens East Iron Ore Project (Paulsens East) is located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia,
~235km by road east of Onslow (and the Port of Ashburton) and ~600km by road south of Port Hedland.
In September 2022, Strike completed a maiden shipment of 66,618 tonnes of iron ore from Paulsens East,
which involved the mining of surface detrital material to produce Paulsens East Lump direct shipping iron ore
(DSO) (grading 62% Fe), which was exported to China from the Utah Point Multi-User Bulk Handling Facility
(Utah Point) at Port Hedland. Whilst the successful shipment of its first shipment of iron ore from Paulsens
East is a significant milestone for the Company, Strike has determined to pause on further shipments from
Utah Point given market conditions, together with rising input costs, adversely impacting operating margins.15
Strike is advancing the development of an export solution through the Port of Ashburton (located ~235km
from Paulsens East, versus ~650km to Port Hedland), which has the potential to significantly improve the
commercial economics at Paulsens East and thus will play an important part in the decision to restart
operations at Paulsens East.
In December 2022, Strike, iron ore developer CZR Resources Ltd (ASX:CZR) and transhipment services
provider CSL Australia Pty Ltd, entered into a binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the formation
of a Port of Ashburton Consortium (PAC) to work with relevant authorities to secure approvals for the
development of a ~5 Mtpa capacity multi-user bulk loading facility for the export of iron ore from the Port of
Ashburton, Onslow (the Port of Ashburton Export Facility).16 Strike’s participation and ownership interest
is 25% (CZR – 50% and CSL – 25%). Strike will have a one-third share of the export capacity from the Port
of Ashburton Export Facility.
The PAC members are working with relevant authorities to develop and finalise:
•
•
designs for an integrated iron ore export facility at the Port of Ashburton, including road train unloading,
storage shed, transhipment vessel (TSV) loader and ancillary fixed and mobile infrastructure; and
the operating parameters and terms of a TSV to be provided by CSL from its existing shipping fleet
capable of discharging a minimum annualised capacity of ~5 Mtpa of iron ore into cape size ocean-
going vessels at an offshore transhipment anchorage point off the Port of Ashburton,
as part of the process to secure required approvals for the establishment of infrastructure at the Port of
Ashburton Export Facility. The PAC is also assessing the commercial parameters of proposed landside and
offshore transhipment operations.
The WA Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) has (in January 2023) granted a
second Works Approval under the Environmental Protection Act 1986 for offshore marine operations,
principally related to the Category 58 bulk loading of up to 1.8 Mtpa (10,000 tonnes per day) of iron ore from
a Transhipment Vessel to Ocean Going Vessels in a designated offshore anchorage area ~14 nautical miles
from the Port of Ashburton in Onslow.17 Strike received an earlier (landside) Works Approval from DWER in
July 2022 to undertake Category 58 bulk loading and unloading of up to 1.8 Mtpa (10,000 tonnes per day) of
iron ore from the Port of Ashburton.18 The securing of these key regulatory Works Approvals in respect of
the Port of Ashburton now complete all DWER approvals required for the commencement of export operations
from the Port of Ashburton and are important steps in the Stage 2 development plans of Strike, which involve
the export of up to 1.8 Mtpa of iron ore from its Paulsens East Iron Ore Project.
The current Works Approvals received allow Strike to commence its Stage 2 Development plans for Paulsens
East as a standalone operation or serve as a base for the Port of Ashburton Consortium to build upon the
current approvals received by Strike to expand proposed operations of up to ~5 Mtpa with separate Works
Approvals being obtained by the PAC using the Strike Works Approvals as a precedent for proposed
expanded operations. As such, Strike retains the option to develop its own 1.8 Mtpa iron ore export operation
at the Port of Ashburton.

Apurimac Iron Ore Project (Peru)
(Strike – 100%)
The Apurimac Iron Ore Project in Peru is recognised as one of the highest grade, large scale magnetite
projects in the world with the potential to support the establishment of a significant iron ore operation.22
Strike has completed two shipments (to Chinese and South American Steel Mills) of high-grade (+65% Fe)
Apurimac Premium Lump DSO in calendar 2021.23
Strike notes that:
•
•
The Offtake Agreement24 (pursuant to which the first shipment of 35,000 tonnes to China was
undertaken) is on a CFR basis (where Strike bears the cost of shipment). As such, subsequent
shipments to China will be subject to negotiation of an acceptable price with the offtake counterparty
and securing a ship charter on terms acceptable to Strike.
The second shipment (of 15,000 tonnes to a South American steel mill) was made on an FOB basis
(where the buyer is responsible for the shipment cost) with a competitive market price calculated by
reference to the high grade nature of the Apurimac Lump DSO ore This shipment was successfully
used by the buyer as an industrial trial for their steel manufacturing facility.
Strike is investigating further shipments from Peru, subject to satisfaction with a number of matters including
negotiation of an acceptable price (referenced to the benchmark iron ore price) and Strike securing sufficient
working capital to fund production to this end.

MATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS
Strike’s exploration and development operations will be subject to the normal risks of mineral exploration and
development, and any revenues will be subject to factors beyond Strike’s control. The material business risks
that may affect Strike are summarised below:
Exploration Risk: Strike’s resource projects are at various stages of exploration, evaluation and
development. There is no assurance that future exploration will result in the discovery of an economic
resource or reserve or that it can be economically exploited. Future exploration activities may be affected by
a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns
or adverse weather conditions, unanticipated operational and
in
commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated
metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs/recovery rates, industrial and environmental
accidents, industrial disputes, unexpected shortages and increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts,
plant, equipment and personnel, local communities/indigenous and existing land/lease holder stakeholder
engagements, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of Strike.
Exploration and evaluation costs are based on certain assumptions in relation to the nature, method and
timing of these activities, which are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may
materially differ. Cost estimates and the underlying assumptions may not be realised in practice, which may
materially and adversely affect Strike’s financial performance and or position.
technical difficulties, difficulties
Resource Estimation Risk: Resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge,
experience and industry practice. These estimates were appropriate when made but may change significantly
when new information becomes available. Resource estimates which depend on interpretations may require
adjustment. Adjustments to resource estimates could affect Strike‘s future plans and ultimately its financial
performance. Mineral and commodity price fluctuations, as well as increased production costs or reduced
throughput and/or recovery rates, may render resources containing relatively lower grades uneconomic and
may materially affect resource estimations.
Feasibility and Development Risks: There is risk associated with the successful commercial exploitation
of resource discoveries. Such exploitation would involve securing necessary approvals from relevant
authorities that may require conditions to be satisfied and/or the exercise of discretions by such authorities.
It may or may not be possible for such conditions to be satisfied or in a timely manner. Advancing exploitation
may involve the participation of other parties/stakeholders whose interests and objectives may differ from
Strike’s. There is a complex, multidisciplinary process involved to evaluate and assess development
pathways and undertake
support a development proposal.
Evaluations/assessments and studies and associated technical works may not achieve the results expected.
Even if supported by a positive feasibility study, a project may not be successfully developed for a range of
technical, commercial and or financial reasons.
feasibility-related
studies
to
Commodity Pricing Risk: The commercial prospects of Strike (in relation to the development of its current
iron ore projects) is dependent principally upon the demand for iron ore and steel products, in particular in
China, which is the predominant export market for junior iron ore producers.
Key Personnel: In formulating its exploration and evaluation programmes, feasibility-related studies and
development strategies, Strike relies on the experience and expertise of its directors, senior executives and
other senior management. There is a risk that key personnel may leave their employment, which may
adversely affect the business, at least in the short term. Recruiting and retaining qualified, skilled and
experienced key personnel in the minerals/commodities sectors and geography in which Strike operates may
also be challenging in a strong and competitive resources sector.

30 JUNE 2023
STRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED
A.B.N. 94 088 488 724
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Future Funding: Strike’s ongoing exploration, evaluation and development activities will require substantial
further funding in the future. Any additional equity capital may be dilutive to shareholders and may be
undertaken at lower issue prices than the current market price. Debt financing, if available, may involve
restrictive covenants which limit Strike’s operations and business strategy. There is no assurance that
appropriate funding, if and when needed, will be available on terms satisfactory to Strike or at all. The inability
to obtain funding will adversely affect Strike and may result in some or all of its projects not proceeding or
their scale and/or scope being altered or defaults in licences or permits or agreements occurring, which, if not
remedied, could result in forfeiture of its tenements.
Foreign Jurisdiction: Strike holds its interest in the Apurimac Project in Peru through its 100%
shareholdings in Peruvian registered companies. The overseas companies are subject to risks normally
associated with the conduct of business in foreign countries. Risks pertaining to Peru may include, among
other things, political risk, economic environments, disruptions to logistics, access to infrastructure and
services (water, power and gas), labour disputes, corruption, civil disturbances and crime, changes in law or
policies, opposition to mining from environmental or other non-governmental organisations or changes in
political attitudes towards mining activities.
Foreign Exchange Risk: The expenditure of Strike is and will be in Australian, United States and Peruvian
currencies, exposing the Company to fluctuations and volatility of the rates of exchange between the
Australian dollar, United States dollar and Peruvian Soles as determined in international markets. Strike does
not currently undertake any hedging of foreign currency items, however as operations develop and expand,
more sophisticated foreign exchange risk management strategies may be adopted.
Access Risk: There may be areas of Strike’s projects over which indigenous rights exist or are claimed by
indigenous owners. Similarly, Strike’s tenements may encroach on existing land or lease holders. As such,
Strike’s ability to gain access to the tenements or to progress from the exploration phase to the development
and mining phases of operations, may require reaching agreement with these stakeholders to facilitate access
and development, which is not assured, on terms satisfactory to Strike, or at all. Negotiations with
stakeholders may also result in a delay with the development of Strike’s projects.
Regulatory Risk: Strike‘s operations are subject to various Federal, State/Provincial and local laws and
regulations, including those relating to exploration, development and mining permit and licence requirements,
industrial relations, environment, land use, royalties, water, native title/indigenous and Aboriginal cultural
heritage, mine safety and occupational work, health and safety. Approvals, licences and permits required to
comply with such rules may be subject to the discretion of the applicable government officials/authorities. No
assurance can be given that Strike will be successful in maintaining such authorisations in full force and effect
without modification or revocation. To the extent such approvals are required and not retained or obtained in
a timely manner or at all, Strike may be curtailed or prohibited from continuing or proceeding with exploration
and production. Strike’s business and results of operations could be adversely affected if applications lodged
for relevant licences are not granted. Mineral tenements are also subject to periodic renewal, which may be
subject to the discretion of the relevant government official/authority or renewal conditions (such as increased
expenditure and work commitments and/or compulsory relinquishment of tenement areas). The imposition
of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial
position and/or performance of Strike.
Environmental Risk: The operations and activities of Strike are subject to environmental laws and
regulations. Strike is unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations which may
be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws or regulations would materially increase Strike’s
cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area. However, there can be no assurances that new
environmental laws, regulations or stricter enforcement policies, once implemented, will not oblige Strike to
incur significant expenses and undertake significant investments which could have a material adverse effect
on Strike’s business, financial condition and performance.
Climate Change Risk: The operations and activities of Strike may be subject to local or international
compliance regulations related to climate change mitigation efforts, specific taxation or penalties for carbon
emissions or environmental damage, and other possible restraints on industry that may further impact Strike
and its profitability. Climate change may also cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be
predicted by Strike, including events such as increased severity of weather patterns, incidence of extreme
weather events and longer-term physical risks such as shifting climate pattern.
Pandemic and other Public Health Risks: Future health pandemics (such as COVID-19) and other possible
outbreaks of viruses/disease may have a significant adverse effect on Strike’s business. The spread of such
diseases amongst management, employees, contractors, suppliers and logistic networks, as well as any
health related government imposed quarantine and isolation requirements, may reduce the ability to operate
and have detrimental financial implications. More broadly, Strike may also be affected by the macroeconomic
effects and likely ensuing financial volatility in the economies where the Company operates.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
There have been no significant changes in the state of affairs of Strike, save as otherwise disclosed in this
Directors’ Report or the financial statements and notes thereto.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Strike will continue to (subject to, amongst other matters, market conditions, Strike’s financial position and
commitments and the relative prospects of Strike’s resource projects):
•
•
advance the development of the Paulsens East Iron Ore Project in Western Australia; and
advance the investigation of potential value-adding strategies in relation to the development of the
Apurimac Iron Ore Project in Peru.
The likely outcomes of these activities depend on a range of technical and economic factors (including
underlying commodity prices) and also industry, geographic and other strategy specific issues (including the
impacts of health pandemics). In the opinion of the Directors, it is not possible or appropriate to make a
prediction on the results of these activities, the future course of markets or the forecast of the likely results of
Strike’s activities.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
Strike holds mineral tenements/concession licences issued by the relevant mining and environmental
protection authorities of the various countries in which it operates (from time to time). In the course of its
mineral exploration, evaluation and development activities, Strike adheres to licence conditions and
environmental regulations imposed upon it by various authorities (as applicable). Strike has complied with all
licence conditions and environmental requirements (as applicable) during the financial year and up to the
date of this report. There have been no known material breaches of Strike’s licence conditions and
environmental regulations during the financial year and up to the date of this report.

Remuneration Policy
The Board (with guidance from the Remuneration and Nomination Committee) determines the
remuneration structure of all Key Management Personnel having regard to Strike’s strategic objectives,
scale and scope of operations and other relevant factors, including experience and qualifications,
length of service, market practice (including available data concerning remuneration paid by other listed
companies in particular companies of comparable size and nature within the resources sector in which
Strike operates), the duties and accountability of Key Management Personnel and the objective of
maintaining a balanced Board which has appropriate expertise and experience, at a reasonable cost
to the Company.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee: A purpose of the Committee is to assist the
Managing Director and the Board to adopt and implement a remuneration system that is required to
attract, retain and motivate the personnel who will enable the Company to achieve long-term success.
In carrying out this ‘remuneration function’, the Committee’s key responsibilities are to:
•
•
•
make recommendations to the Board on the specific benefits to be provided to the Managing
Director within the policy
conduct an annual review of Non-Executive Directors’ fees and determining whether the limit
on the Non-Executive Directors’ fee pool remains appropriate, and
assist the Managing Director to determine the remuneration (including equity-based
remuneration) of ‘Senior Management’ (being executive direct reports to the Managing Director
and other senior employees) and advise on those determinations.

Company’s website: www.strikeresources.com.au/corporate/corporate-governance/.

quantum and to be divided as the Board determines appropriate.

business of the Company; and
In respect of Non-Executive Directors, payment for the performance of extra services or the
making of special exertions for the benefit of the Company (at the request of and with the
concurrence of the Board).
Short-Term Benefits: Relevant Key Management Personnel have an opportunity to earn annual
short-term incentive (STI) cash amounts if predefined key performance indicators (KPI’s) are achieved.
The STI/KPI’s are reviewed annually (where applicable). The Board has, during the financial year,
resolved to pay STI related benefits to the Managing Director and Executive Directors, based on STI
KPI’s set in the previous financial year - refer ‘Details of Remuneration of Key Management Personnel’
in Section (4) below. No STI benefits have been set for Key Management Personnel during the
financial year.
Long-Term Benefits: The Company does not have any long-term incentive (LTI) cash bonus schemes
(or equivalent) in place for Key Management Personnel. The Company reserves the right to implement
LTI remuneration measures for Key Management Personnel if appropriate in the future.
Equity-Based Benefits: There were no equity-based benefits granted to Key Management Personnel
during the financial year. The Company has previously (on 4 December 2020, after receipt of
shareholder approval at the Company’s AGM) granted a total of 12,000,000 unlisted Directors’ Options
(each with an exercise price of $0.185, an expiry date of 3 December 2023 and subject to vesting
conditions in tranches based on the attainment of defined milestones) to the Directors as part of their
remuneration.32 There were no shares issued as a result of the exercise of options issued to Key
Management Personnel during the financial year. The Company may propose the issue of securities
to Key Management Personnel in the future (as an equity-based incentive benefit), which will be put to
shareholders for approval at that time (as required under the ASX Listing Rules and/or Corporations
Act 2001 (Cth), as applicable).

REMUNERATION REPORT
Securities Incentive Plan: The Company adopted a Securities Incentive Plan (the Plan or SIP),
which was approved by shareholders at the Company’s AGM held on 4 December 2020. The purpose
of the Plan is to:
(a)
(b)
(c)
assist in the reward, retention, and motivation of ‘Eligible Participants’ (which includes
employees, Executive and Non-Executive Directors and contractors – not limited to Key
Management Personnel);
link the reward of Eligible Participants to shareholder value creation; and
align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Company by providing an
opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of
securities (which includes a share, a right to a share, an option over an issued or unissued
security and a convertible security).
Under the Plan, the Board may offer to eligible persons the opportunity to subscribe for such number
of securities in the Company on such terms and conditions as the Board may decide and otherwise
pursuant to the rules of the Plan. The maximum number of securities issued under the Plan is limited
to 5% of Strike’s issued share capital. A summary of the Plan is in Annexure A to the Notice of Annual
General Meeting and Explanatory Statement dated 20 October 2020 and released on ASX on 4
November 2020.
The Company has granted a total of 3,100,000 unlisted SIP Options (each with an exercise price of
$0.185, an expiry date of 14 February 2025 and subject to vesting conditions in tranches based on
the attainment of defined milestones) to personnel (not Key Management Personnel) as part of their
remuneration, during the previous financial year.33
Post-Employment Benefits: The Company does not presently provide retirement benefits to Key
Management Personnel other than compulsory superannuation contributions. The Company notes
that shareholder approval is required where a Company proposes to make a “termination payment”
(for example, a payment in lieu of notice, a payment for a post-employment restraint and payments
made as a result of the automatic or accelerated vesting of share based payments) in excess of one
year’s “base salary” (defined as the average base salary over the previous 3 years) to a director or any
person who holds a managerial or executive office.
Performance-Related Benefits and Financial Performance of Company: Save for any applicable
STI(s), LTI(s) or equity-based benefits that may be provided to Key Management Personnel, the
remuneration of Key Management Personnel is fixed, is not dependent on the satisfaction of a
performance condition and is unrelated to the Company’s performance.
In considering the Company's performance and its effects on shareholder wealth, Directors have had
regard to the data set out below for the latest financial year and the previous four financial years.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the financial year ended 30 June 2023
Reporting Basis and Financial Statement Presentation
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern and
accrual basis and is based on historical costs modified by the
revaluation of financial assets and financial liabilities for which
the fair value basis of accounting has been applied. The
Directors are not aware of any material uncertainties related to
events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the
Consolidated Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Directors have a reasonable belief that the going concern
assumption for the Consolidated Entity is appropriate based
on, inter alia, the following matters: (a) the current cash
position of the Consolidated Entity relative to its fixed and
discretionary expenditure commitments; (b) the ability of the
Directors to suspend or reduce personnel, corporate and
administration expenses to conserve the Consolidated Entity’s
cash; (c) the underlying prospects and liquidity of
the
Consolidated Entity’s significant (31.41 million) shareholding in
Lithium Energy Limited (ASX:LEL), which may be sold to
realise cash; (d) the discretionary nature of the Consolidated
Entity’s expenditure commitments vis a vis its resource
projects

to maintaining
tenements/concessions in good standing if the Consolidated
Entity wishes to retain the same); (e) the contingent nature of
the Consolidated Entity’s contingent liabilities; and (f) the
ability of the Consolidated Entity to undertake a capital raising.
(subject
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of
these financial statements have been consistently applied to
all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
1.3
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets
and liabilities of the Company as at 30 June 2023 and the
results of its subsidiaries for the year then ended. The
Company and its subsidiaries are referred to in this financial
report as Strike or the Consolidated Entity.
All inter-company balances and transactions between entities
in the Consolidated Entity, including any unrealised profits or
losses, have been eliminated on consolidation.
1.4
Comparative Figures
Where required by the Accounting Standards, comparative
figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in
presentation for the current financial period.
1.5
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the
amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is

circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of
acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.
Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown
inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the Statement
of Cash Flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component
of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as
operating cash flows.
1.6
Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the Consolidated Entity reviews the
carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to
determine whether there is any indication that those assets
have been impaired.
If such an indication exists, the
recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the
asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is
compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the
asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed
to the profit or loss. Impairment testing is performed annually
for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. Where
it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an
individual asset,
the
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the
asset belongs

1.7
Leases
the
lease commencement,
At
the Consolidated Entity
recognises a right-of-use asset and associated lease liability
for the lease term. The lease term includes extension periods
where the Consolidated Entity believes it is reasonably certain
that the option will be exercised.
The right-of-use asset is measured using the cost model where
cost on initial recognition comprises of the lease liability, initial
direct costs, prepaid lease payments, estimated cost of
removal and restoration less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the lease term on a
straight-line basis and assessed for impairment in accordance
with the impairment of assets accounting policy.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of
the remaining lease payments at the commencement of the
lease. The discount rate is the rate implicit in the lease,
however where this cannot be readily determined then the
Consolidated Entity’s incremental borrowing rate is used.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the lease liability is measured
at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The
lease liability is remeasured whether there is a lease
modification, change in estimate of the lease term or index
upon which the lease payments are based (e.g. CPI) or a
change in the Consolidated Entity’s assessment of lease term.
Where the lease liability is remeasured, the right-of-use asset
is adjusted to reflect the remeasurement or is recorded in profit
or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been
reduced to zero.
Exceptions to lease accounting
The Consolidated Entity has elected to apply the exceptions to
lease accounting for both short-term leases (i.e. leases with a
term of less than or equal to 12 months) and leases of
low-value assets. The Consolidated Entity recognises the
payments associated with these leases as an expense on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
1.8
New, revised or amending Accounting Standards
and Interpretations adopted
The Consolidated Entity has adopted all of the new, revised or
amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by
the AASB that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or
Interpretations that are not mandatory have not been early
adopted. These are not expected to have a material impact on
the Consolidated Entity’s financial statements.

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Consolidated
Entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met
before revenue is recognised:
(i) Revenue from contracts of sale with customers
Each iron ore shipment is governed by a sales contract with a customer. The performance obligation under
the sale contract is the delivery of iron ore. Revenue from iron ore sales is recognised when control of the
iron ore passes to the customer, which generally occurs at a point in time when the iron ore is physically
loaded on to a ship for export. This is the point where title in the iron ore passes to the customer, together
with significant risks and rewards of ownership. The amount of revenue recognised reflects the sale
consideration which the Consolidated Entity expects it is entitled to, in exchange for the iron ore sold. Sale
consideration may be recognised based on proceeds received under a provisional invoice (issued after the
date of shipment) with a subsequent further receipt/refund payment under a final invoice (issued after the iron
ore has been delivered to the customer at the discharge port).
(ii) Sale of financial assets and other goods and assets
Revenue from the sale of financial assets, and other goods/assets is recognised when the Consolidated
Entity has passed control of the financial assets and other goods/assets to the buyer.
(iii) Interest revenue
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the
financial assets.
(iv) Dividend revenue
Dividend revenue is recognised when the right
Consolidated Entity brings dividend revenue to account on the applicable ex-dividend entitlement date.
to receive a dividend has been established. The
(v) Other revenues
Other revenues are recognised on an accruals basis.

Accounting policy
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the
dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions
and from the translation at the year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income,
except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or
are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation. Foreign exchange gains or losses that relate to
borrowings are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income
within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Consolidated Statement of
Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income on a net basis within other income or operating expenses.

Critical accounting judgement and estimate
Deferred tax assets have not been recognised as, in the Directors' opinion, it is not probable that future taxable
profit will be available against which the Consolidated Entity can utilise the benefits. The utilisation of revenue and
capital tax losses are subject to compliance with taxation legislation.
Accounting policy
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based
on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities
attributable to temporary differences and for unused tax losses. The current income tax charge is calculated on the
basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the
Company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates
to
positions taken in tax returns with respect
interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax
authorities.
to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However,
deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is
also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a
business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by
the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or
the deferred income tax liability is settled.

TAX (continued)
Accounting policy (continued)
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is
probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases
of investments in foreign operations where the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the
temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets
and liabilities, and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax
liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net
basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in
Other Comprehensive Income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in Other Comprehensive
Income or directly in equity, respectively.

Market risk is the risk that the fair value and/or future cash flows from a financial instrument or asset will
fluctuate as a result of changes in market factors. Market risk comprises of foreign exchange risk from
fluctuations in foreign currencies and interest rate risk from fluctuations in market interest rates.
(i) Commodity price risk
The Consolidated Entity is exposed to commodity price risk whereby fluctuations in the prices of
commodities (i.e. iron ore), driven by market factors, can affect its financial performance. Volatile
fluctuations in commodity prices creates significant business challenges that affects credit availability,
production costs and product pricing. This price volatility creates an imperative for the Consolidated
Entity to manage the impact of commodity price fluctuations across its value chain to effectively manage
its financial performance and profitability.
(ii) Foreign exchange risk
The Consolidated Entity operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from
various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar and Peruvian Nuevo Soles. Foreign
exchange risk arises from future commercial
transactions and recognised assets and liabilities
the Consolidated Entity's functional currency. The risk is
denominated in a currency that
measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting. The Consolidated Entity has a policy of
generally not hedging foreign exchange risk and therefore has not entered into any hedging against
movements in foreign currencies against the Australian dollar, including forward exchange contracts, as
at the reporting date and is currently fully exposed to foreign exchange risk. The Consolidated Entity's
exposure to foreign exchange risk expressed in US dollars at the reporting date are as follows:

Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial
instrument will fluctuate due to changes in
market interest rates. The Consolidated Entity's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates
relate primarily to investments held in interest bearing instruments. The weighted average interest rate
of the cash at bank for the year for the table below is 0.4% (2022: 0.1%).
The table (below) illustrates the sensitivity of profit and equity to a reasonably possible change in
interest rates based on observation of current market conditions. The calculations are based on a
change in the average market interest rate and the financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in
interest rates.

(b)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Consolidated Entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated
with financial liabilities. The Consolidated Entity has a loan with a third party (refer to Note 12) which has a
maturity obligation of more than 12 months. The Consolidated Entity's non-cash assets can be realised to
meet trade and other payables arising in the normal course of business. The financial liabilities disclosed in
the table above have a maturity obligation of not more than 30 days.
(c) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty under a financial instrument will default (in whole or in part) on
its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Consolidated Entity. Credit risk arises from cash
and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions, including outstanding receivables
and committed transactions. Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by management carrying
out all market transactions through recognised and creditworthy brokers and the monitoring of receivable
balances. The Consolidated Entity's business activities do not necessitate the requirement for collateral as a
means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.
The credit quality of the financial assets are neither past due nor impaired and can be assessed by reference
to external credit ratings or to historical information about counterparty default rates. The maximum exposure
to credit risk at reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets as summarised below:

AASB 13 (Fair Value Measurement) requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair
value measurement hierarchy:
(i)
(ii)
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and

There have been no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the financial year.
(a) Valuation techniques
The fair value of the listed securities traded in active markets is based on closing bid prices at the end of the
reporting period. These investments are included in Level 1.
The fair value of any assets that are not traded in an active market are determined using certain valuation
techniques. The valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available, or
independent valuation and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs
required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2. If one or more of
the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.

The Consolidated Entity’s exposure to credit and interest rate risks is discussed in Note 8.
Accounting policy
AASB 9 (Financial Instruments) requires the expected credit loss (ECL) impairment model that requires the
Consolidated Entity to adopt an ECL position across the Consolidated Entity’s financial assets. The Consolidated
Entity’s receivables balance comprises deposits, GST refunds from the Australian Tax Office.
At each reporting date, the Consolidated Entity reviews the carrying value of its financial assets based on the ECL
model under AASB 9, which proposes three approaches in assessing impairment:
(i)
(ii)
the simplified approach (which will be applied to most trade receivables) which requires the recognition of
lifetime ECLs by considering forward-looking assumptions and information regarding expected future
conditions affecting historical customer default rates;
the general approach (which will be applied to most loans and debt securities) whereby ECL is recognised in
two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial
recognition, the Consolidated Entity will provide for credit losses that result from default events that are
possible within the next 12 months. For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant
increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance will arise for credit losses expected over the
remaining life of exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default; and
(iii)
For purchased or originated credit-impaired receivables, the fair value at initial recognition already takes into
account lifetime expected losses. At each reporting date, the Consolidated Entity updates its estimated cash
flows and adjusts the loss allowance accordingly.
The loss allowances for financial assets are based on the assumptions about risk of default and expected loss
rates. The Consolidated Entity uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the
impairment calculation, based on the Consolidated Entity’s past history, existing market conditions as well as
forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. The Consolidated Entity has not recognised any
additional impairment to its current receivables or non-current receivables as a result of the application of AASB 9.
This is due to the fact that the Consolidated Entity does not consider that there are any further ECL to the current
carrying values of its current receivables or its non-current receivables.

Capitalised Mine development expenditure pertains to the Paulsens East Iron Ore Project (located in Western
Australia), where the Consolidated Entity has completed a feasibility study, secured project
finance and
undertaken Stage 1 Production (involving the mining of surface detritals materials and the export of a maiden
(66,618 tonne) shipment of Paulsens East Lump direct shipping iron ore (DSO) from Utah Point (Port Hedland) in
September 2022). Mine development represents the costs incurred in preparing mines for production and
includes plant and equipment under construction and operating costs incurred before production commences. Pre-
production revenues are offset against capitalised pre-production costs. Once production commences, these
capitalised Mine development costs are transferred to Mining properties (under property, plant and equipment),
and are amortised using the units of production method. The reclassification to Mining properties will be
considered after the Consolidated Entity has secured project
finance and made an investment decision to
commence Stage 2 Production (involving the mining of the Paulsens East hematite ridge for export at the rate of
up to approximately 1.8 million tonnes per annum).
Accounting policy
Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is initially capitalised in respect of each identifiable area of
interest where the Consolidated Entity has right of tenure. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that
they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area
have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically-
recoverable reserves. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in
the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.
Under AASB 6 (Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources), if facts and circumstances suggest that the
carrying amount of any recognised exploration and evaluation assets may be impaired, the Consolidated Entity
must perform impairment tests on those assets and measure any impairment in accordance with AASB 136
(Impairment of Assets). Any impairment loss is to be recognised as an expense. A regular review is undertaken of
each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area
of interest.
Reclassification to Mine development
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest
are demonstrable and a management decision to invest further has been made, exploration and evaluation assets
attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mining property under
development (Mine development).
Mine development
Mine development represents the costs incurred in preparing mines for production and includes plant and
equipment under construction and operating costs incurred before production commences. Pre-production
revenues are offset against capitalised pre-production costs.

Future Reclassification to Mining property and Units of production method of amortisation
Once production commences,
these costs are transferred to mining properties (under property, plant and
equipment), and are amortised using the units of production method. As the useful life of a mining property asset
is directly linked to the extraction of ore from the mine, the amortisation charges are proportional to the depletion
of the estimated economically recoverable resource pertaining to the mine. The unit of account used in the
calculation is tonnes of ore. The mining property is written-off if the mine is abandoned.

Accounting policy (continued)
Short-term obligations
Provision is made for the Consolidated Entity’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by
employees to the Balance Date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been
measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee
benefits payable later than one year from the Balance Date have been measured at the present value of the
estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Employer superannuation contributions are made
by the Consolidated Entity in accordance with statutory obligations and are charged as an expense when incurred.
Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The liability for long-service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the
present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the
Balance Date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee
departures and periods of service.

16. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (continued)
Accounting policy
Shared-based compensation benefits provided to personnel are accounted in accordance with AASB 2 (Share-
based Payment).
The fair value of options granted are recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase
in equity. The total amount expensed are determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, which
takes into account market performance conditions, and the impact of non-vesting conditions (if any) but excludes
the impact of any service or non-market performance vesting conditions (if any).
Non-market vesting conditions (if any) are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected
to vest. Total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified
vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each reporting period, the Consolidated Entity will revise its
the number of options that are expected to vest based on applicable non-marketing vesting
estimates of
conditions. The Consolidated Entity will also recognise the impact of any revisions to the original estimates in profit
or loss with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
17. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company's objectives when managing its capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern,
so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain a
capital structure balancing the interests of all shareholders.
The Board will consider capital management initiatives as is appropriate and in the best interests of the Company
and shareholders from time to time, including undertaking capital raisings, share buy-backs, capital reductions and
selling assets to reduce debt.

Accounting policy
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Consolidated Entity has control. The
Consolidated Entity controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its
involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the
entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control
is transferred to the group. They are
deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Consolidated Entity.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions in the Consolidated Entity are
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of
the assets transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure
consistency with the policies adopted by the Consolidated Entity.

Accounting policy
Associates are all entities over which the Consolidated Entity has presumed significant influence but not control or
joint control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between approximately 20% and 50% of the voting rights.
Investments in Associates in the consolidated financial statements are accounted for using the equity method of
accounting. On initial recognition investments in associates are recognised at cost; for investments which were
classified as fair value through profit or loss, any gains or losses previously recognised are reversed through profit
or loss. Under the equity method, the Consolidated Entity’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of
Associates are recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised
in Other Comprehensive Income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying
amount of the investment in the Associate entity.
A share of an Associate entity's net gain increases the investment (and a share of net loss decreases the
investment) and dividend income received from an Associate entity decreases the investment. When the
Consolidated Entity’s share of losses in an Associate equals or exceeds its interest in the Associate, including any
other unsecured long-term receivables, the Consolidated Entity does not recognise further losses, unless it has
incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the Associate.
Where applicable, unrealised gains on transactions between the Consolidated Entity and its Associates are
eliminated to the extent of the Consolidated Entity’s interest in the Associates. Unrealised losses are also
eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. The accounting
policies of Associates are aligned to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Consolidated Entity,
where practicable.

CONTINGENCIES
(a)
Directors' Deeds
The Company has entered into Access, Indemnity and Insurance Deeds with the Directors which,
inter alia, indemnify them against liability incurred in discharging their duties as officers. As at the
reporting date, no claims have been made under any such indemnities and, accordingly, it is not
possible to quantify the potential financial obligation of the Consolidated Entity under these
indemnities.
(b)
Paulsens East Tenement - Royalty
The Consolidated Entity has a liability to pay Orion Equities Limited (ASX:OEQ) a royalty of 2% of
gross revenues (exclusive of GST) from any commercial exploitation of any minerals from the
Paulsens East Iron Ore Project tenements (which includes Mining Lease M47/1583) in Western
Australia. This royalty entitlement stems from the Consolidated Entity’s acquisition of a portfolio of
tenements (including the Paulsens East tenements) from Orion in September 2005.
(c)
Government Royalties
The Consolidated Entity is liable to pay royalties to Government on production obtained from its
mineral tenements/concessions.
(d)
Native Title Mining Agreement
On 14 August 2020, the Consolidated Entity entered into a Native Title Mining Agreement (Native
Title Agreement) with the PKKP Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC (PKKPAC). The PKKPAC holds
native title on trust for the benefit of the Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura People (PKKP), the
traditional owners of the land on which the Consolidated Entity’s Paulsens East Iron Ore Project is
located in the West Pilbara region of Western Australia. The Native Title Agreement provides an
agreed framework for Strike to undertake its mining activities (that minimises the impact on Aboriginal
Cultural Heritage with safeguards for the care and protection of the lands and rights of the PKKP)
and includes a package of financial and business development related benefits for the PKKP,
including upfront and milestone payments, a production payment based on the value of iron ore sales,
an annual training and development allowance and opportunities for PKKP members to contract for
the provision of certain support operations related to the Paulsens East Iron Ore Project.
(e)
Deferred Payments from Settlement Agreement Relating to Apurimac Ferrum SAC
Pursuant to a settlement agreement dated 30 December 2012 whereby the Consolidated Entity
acquired the (50%) balance of equity interest in Apurimac Ferrum SAC (AF) (the holder of the
Apurimac and Cusco Projects) from D&C Pesca SAC, the Consolidated Entity has a series of
deferred payment obligations as outlined below.
The Consolidated Entity has payment obligations if certain milestones are achieved as follows:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
Resource Milestone Payment: US$2 million on the delineation of at least 500 Mt of JORC
Mineral Resources at an average grade of at least 55% Fe with at least 275 Mt of contained
iron having an average grade of at least 52.5% Fe, on the Apurimac Project mineral
concessions.
Approvals Milestone Payment: Up to US$3 million on AF receiving all formal government
environmental and community approvals for the construction and operation of an iron ore mine
and required infrastructure with a design capacity of at least 10Mtpa of iron ore product,
relating to the Apurimac Project mineral concessions.
Construction Milestone Payment: Up to US$5 million on formal approval of the AF Board
to commence construction of an iron ore project or the commencement of bulk earthworks for
an iron ore mine or processing plant, in either case with a design capacity of at least 10Mtpa
of iron ore product, relating to the Apurimac Project mineral concessions.

Deferred Payments from Settlement Agreement Relating to Apurimac Ferrum SAC
(continued)
The Consolidated Entity has royalty payment obligations as follows:
(i)
(ii)
1.5% of the net profits from sales of iron ore mined and iron ore products produced from the
Apurimac Project mineral concessions.
2% of the proceeds of sales of other metals (on a net smelter return basis) mined from the
Apurimac Project mineral concessions.
Due to the inherent uncertainty surrounding the achievement and timing of the above
milestones/royalty triggers, the Consolidated Entity regards these future payment obligations as
contingencies.
For further background details, refer also to Strike’s ASX Announcement dated 31 December 2012:
Strike Moves to 100% Ownership of AF.
(f)
Legal Disputes Over Peru Mineral Concessions
The Consolidated Entity has successfully defended against a number of legal actions and claims
made by several Peruvian parties (that have had a contractual relationship with AF) relating to the
Consolidated Entity’s mineral concessions in Peru. Whilst there still remain some outstanding claims
and appeals, the Consolidated Entity believes that they will all eventually be dismissed, consistent
with previous decisions by the relevant Peruvian authorities.

changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended on that date and
notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’
declaration.
In our opinion the financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2023 and of its financial
performance for the year ended on that date; and
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under these
standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
section of this report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and
Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence
Standards) (the “Code”) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given
to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this
auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our
audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit
of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate
opinion on these matters.
We have determined the following key audit matters to communicate in our report:
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
STRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED (continued)
Key Audit Matter – Capitalised Mine
Development
How our Audit Addressed the Key Audit Matter
As disclosed in Note 11 to the financial
statements, the Group’s has capitalised mine
development expenditure of $15,688,267.
Our procedures
in assessing mine development
expenditure included but were not limited to the
following:
The recognition and recoverability of mine
development was considered a key audit matter
due to the following:
•
•
the carrying value represents a significant
asset to the Group; and
significant management judgement is
involved in determining whether
impairment indicators exist.
• We reviewed the ownership rights to the
tenements, against which the expenditure is
capitalised, their expiry dates and if required
commitments were met;
• We assessed the reasonableness of capitalising
mine development expenditure in accordance
with Australian Accounting Standards;
• We tested a sample of mine development
expenditure items to supporting documentation
to ensure they were bona fide payments;
• We assessed
the
management’s assessment for the existence of
impairment indicators; and
reasonableness of
the
• We reviewed the appropriateness of the related
disclosures in Note 11.
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2023, but does not include the financial
report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express
any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and,
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or
our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If based on the work we have performed we conclude there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
STRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED (continued)
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true
and fair view in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for
such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial
report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or cease operations,
or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if individually or in
the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing
and Assurance Standards Board website at: www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx.
We communicate with the directors regarding, amongst other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify
during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.
We describe those matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about
the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be
communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected
to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communications.

Responsibilities
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration

Compliance Notes
• The Mineral Resources estimate and Ore Reserves estimate in respect of the Paulsens East Iron Ore Project (above)
have not changed since reported in last year’s (2022) Annual Report.
• The Mineral Resources estimate in respect of the Apurimac Iron Ore Project (above) have not changed since reported
in last year’s (2022) Annual Report. The Company notes that production at the Opaban 3 concession was undertaken
during calendar 2021 with two shipments totalling ~50,000 tonne shipment of Lump direct-shipping iron ore (DSO)
completed in August and October 2021.
• The Mineral Resources estimates in this Annual Mineral Resources Statement are based on, and fairly represents,
information and supporting documentation prepared by a Competent Person (recognised under the JORC Code (2012
Edition)).
• The Annual Mineral Resources Statement as a whole (in respect of each of the Apurimac Iron Ore Project and
Paulsens East Iron Ore Project) has been approved by the Competent Persons named in the JORC Code Competent
Persons’ Statements section of this Annual Report (at page 65) where further information concerning their
qualifications and professional memberships are also disclosed.
• Due to the nature, stage and size of the Company’s existing operations, Strike believes there would be no efficiencies
gained by establishing a separate Mineral Reserves/Resources Committee responsible for reviewing and monitoring
the Company’s processes for estimating Mineral Reserves/Resources. The Board as a whole has responsibility in this
regard (with assistance from external advisers as appropriate) including ensuring that appropriate internal controls are
applied to such calculations.
• The Company ensures that any Mineral Reserve/Resource estimations are prepared by Competent Persons and
where appropriate, reviewed independently and verified (including estimation methodology, sampling, analytical and
test data).
• The Company will report any future Mineral Reserves/Resources estimates in accordance with the 2012 Edition of the
‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’ (the JORC Code (2012
Edition)), or any updated version of the same that may be applicable at the time of the relevant Mineral
Reserve/Resource estimation.
