ANNUAL REPORT 2015
CHAIRMAN’S LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholders,
I am presenting to you the Annual Report for Firestrike Resources Limited after what has been another testing year for the Company.
Since 2013, Firestrike Resources Limited has had to endure prolonged financial turbulence in the capital markets which continues even today. The effects of this have unfortunately had a significant impact upon both the share price and the Company’s ability to grow.
Despite this, the Directors continue to remain both positive and active. In late 2013 the Company secured a copper project for a very low entry cost and under the right market conditions consider the project may be able to offer a possible path towards developing resources. The project located near Moab, Utah in the USA is close to infrastructure and easily accessible by road on the margin of a broad valley known as Copper Ridge.
This project is without ongoing commitments other than statutory requirements and is 100% owned and operated by the Company. Owning the project outright offers flexibility and freedom in decision making for exploration activities going forward. Currently, we are evaluating all the exploration data generated over the past 6 months so as to give an exploration strategy and assessment of associated funding requirements going forward.
It is important to realise that many junior resources companies, including Firestrike Resources, still operate in a depressed capital environment and as a market sector, remains largely undercapitalised. In response to this the Directors have further reduced administration expenditure by minimising salaries and other non-essential obligations whilst looking at new opportunities to secure continued funding along with ways to advance the existing copper project. These opportunities will be carefully evaluated to ensure they respect the long term support demonstrated by existing shareholders over the past 12 months. It is anticipated that such opportunities will be assessed not only for their ability to provide funding for the company but their ability to seek growth and expansion.
It is on behalf of your Directors I would like to sincerely thank all shareholders that have supported us through this difficult financial time and hope you will continue to support us as we look to continue to guide the company forward into 2015 and beyond.
I present to you the report on the Company and its controlled entity for the financial year ended 30 June 2015.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Back in 2013, Firestrike acquired a 100% interest in an advanced copper exploration property in Moab, Utah USA. Since the acquisition the Company has completed several phases of surface sampling culminating in shallow diamond core drilling in late June 2014. During the latter part of 2014 to 2015, the Company has continued to consolidate its knowledge with ongoing review of all the technical data from the exploration work on the Moab Copper project (“Copper Ridge”). This work continues as exploration plans are developed with the intention of seeking to quantify and qualify the nature and extent of the copper mineralisation identified. Any future plans however will require substantial drilling which will require a major fund raising by the Company.
The Company has also surrendered its two exploration licence applications covering part of the Scorpion and Salvation Faults in the Nabberu Basin, Western Australia. As a consequence of reduced funding, a strategic decision was made to remain focused on the core project in the USA and further minimise expenditure. This has been further enhanced with the relinquishment of the other exploration areas in North West Australia.
Copper Ridge Project – Utah USA.
(100% Firestrike Resources Limited)
Copper Ridge has:
-
Significant visible copper mineralisation at surface at a number of the already identified prospect locations in an area over 7 kilometres by 1 kilometre.
-
Proven readily leachable copper species with associated high grade silver and lead.
-
Numerous historical small scale copper mines on the property and adjacent to the project area indicating high grade material is present.
-
A successful producing copper mine (80 miles to the southeast) in similar rocks and of similar tenor of grade.
Broad zones of copper at surface were initially identified and reported by the Company during 2013 to 2014, with a summary for the previous reports as:
-
26m @ 1.10% copper (including 2m @1.91%, 2m @ 1.08%, 2m @ 1.37%, 2m @ 3.5%, 2m @ 1.34%)
-
5.5m @ 0.58% copper (including 0.5m @ 2.34%)
-
3m @ 0.96% copper
-
4m @ 0.59% copper (including 1m @ 1.79%)
-
3m @ 0.42% copper
-
11m @ 0.37% copper
-
16m @ 0.38% copper
-
42m @ 0.36% copper
-
24m @ 0.14% copper
-
16m @ 0.25% copper

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
A follow up sampling programme reported in late 2013 reporting included assaying a further 135 samples with summary results as follows:
-
15 exceeded 1% copper
-
115 were above 0.1% copper
-
0.67% copper average grade across all samples above a 0.1% cut off grade.
A second phase of exploration work in February 2014 focused on areas between the already identified prospects of the Harrison, Xaz and Mealey.
Of the numerous outcrop sites visited where mineralisation was identified 83 sites were sampled and 55 of these returned copper greater than 0.1% copper with 33 greater than 0.5% copper. The maximum result was 17.01% copper as a single grab sample with a median of all copper samples of 0.54% copper, and an average of 0.76% copper (excluding the very high copper grab sample above).
Previously reported preliminary metallurgical investigations and acid digestion analytical work confirmed that the copper is very readily soluble which has positive implications for any potential heap leach processing.
In late May 2014, shallow core drilling using a light weight man portable rig commenced on the three main prospects; Harrison, Xaz and Mealey. The drilling was to test copper below surface and on 26 June 2014 the company announced first results in “Extensive copper below surface at Copper Ridge”.
The drilling concluded in late June 2014 and a detailed report of the results was released on 8 September 2014. All drilling intervals are reported in feet as the drilling equipment measurements are in feet. For conversion to metric, 1 foot equals 0.3014 metres.
A summary of results include:
Harrison:
-
5 feet @ 0.46% copper including 1 foot @ 0.84% copper
-
• 12 feet @ 0.56% copper including 3 feet @ 0.76% copper • 4 feet @ 0.51% copper 4 feet @17 g/t silver • 4.5 feet @ 0.68% copper • 21.5 feet @ 28 g/t silver incl. 3 feet @65 g/t silver
-
9 feet @ 23 g/t silver incl. 2 feet @56 g/t silver
-
9.5 feet @ 15 g/t silver incl. 1 foot @31 g/t silver
Xaz:
-
10.5 feet @ 0.28% copper incl. 1 foot @ 0.67% copper
-
• 1 foot @ 0.54% copper • 2 feet @ 0.51% copper • 16 feet @ 97.5 g/t silver incl. 6 feet @ 297 g/t silver • 1 foot @ 0.46% copper and 13 feet @ 13 g/t silver • 1 foot @ 0.78% copper, 104 g/t silver • 12 feet @ 22.7 g/t silver

-
5 feet @ 16 g/t silver
-
• 16 feet @ 16 g/t silver
Mealey:
- 30 feet @ 0.55% copper incl. 8 feet @ 1.09% copper
Of the 18 holes drilled and assayed 9 have confirmed the presence of copper in assays from surface to an average depth of 20 feet. 10 holes have terminated in copper mineralisation.
The weighted average copper at the Harrison is 0.40% copper and at Xaz 0.30% which is consistent with this style of mineralisation. Of the total feet assayed 26% has returned copper mineralisation.

JORC TABLE 1
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
| Criteria | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Sampling techniques | The samples are collected as half core from a nominal size core diameter of 42mm. Core has been cut on a narrow diamond bladed saw with sampling intervals as three feet on average though variation down to 1 foot where geological conditions dictate a reduced sampling interval. Occasionally over 3 feet has been sampled in a single sample where geological or drill sample conditions determine this is more appropriate or efficient. |
| Drilling techniques | A light weight man portable rig has been used. Rods are in feet lengths of nominally 4 foot per rod. A single 4 foot core barrel is affixed to the rod string to enable core to be captured and lifted to surface. Each run of core required all rods to be tripped from the hole. |
| Drill sample recovery | Drill recoveries are recorded as sampling and logging progresses. To date core recoveries overall is averaging approx. 80 % with the lowest core loss recorded for a hole of 54 %. Clays and fractured broken ground is contributing to the core losses. |
| Logging | Brief descriptions of the core has been completed with visual observations on the presence of copper and other metalliferous minerals where recognized. Core has been photographed as wet whole and half cores. Detailed logging will be completed once all assays are received and can be related back to the remaining core currently held in storage. |
| Sub sampling techniques and sample preparation |
The upper half of core as it sits in the core tray has been sampled and samples wherever possible taken as a maximum of 3 feet and a minimum of 1 foot where geological variation requires. Samples have been sent for analysis where copper has been visually seen in the core. Some holes were not sampled where no visible copper seen as were some intervals. These holes are noted on the tables accompanying this release. |
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
Discrepancies in depth may occur where there is core loss and this may affect the determination of widths of mineralisation and the associated grade. Given the reconnaissance nature to the programme and that the data is not to be used directly in the determination of any JORC resources, it is considered that the grade and intervals will approximate the actual with sufficient confidence relative to the exploration conducted. Assaying is through ALS laboratory services in USA with sample preparation in Nevada and split samples sent to Vancouver for final determination. |
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
Duplicate assays have been taken as quarter core every 30 samples and an umpire check sample every 100 samples also as quarter core to be sent to an Australian based laboratory in due course. |
| Location of data points | All samples sites have been located using a hand held DGPS unit and cross checked onto aerial |
PAGE 13
FIRESTRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
| photographs where relevant. The GPS recorded locations used the WGS 84 datum Zone 12 North. | |
|---|---|
| Data spacing and distribution |
The data is not expected to be incorporated into any Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve estimation and is primarily an initial exploration reconnaissance geochemical sampling programme. As such the determination of data spacing and distribution is not relevant at this time |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Wherever possible holes have been drilled vertically, however no down hole surveys were possible with the current on site equipment and as such the accuracy of the mineralised width and location is affected by this. Given the reconnaissance nature of the drilling, however this is not seen as a major impact upon the results of the current drilling programme. |
| Sample security | All samples were collected in calico sample bags with sample number tickets included in each bag and the same identification externally on the bag. Bags were then checked against field manifests and loaded into plastic buckets with tape sealed lids for transportation to SGS sample preparation in Ely, Nevada. Given the initial phase of exploration combined with the limited number of field staff involved, the security over sample dispatch is considered adequate for these samples at this time. |
| Audits or reviews | No audits or reviews have yet been conducted on the exploration data presented in this release. |
Section 2 Reporting of Exploration results
| Criteria | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Mineral tenements and land tenure status |
All claims are current and 100% owned by Firestrike Resources (or its wholly owned US subsidiary). There are no outstanding issues regarding access or ownership. Claim numbers are: From CR#001 to CR#184 inclusive and within Grand County, Utah USA. They are unpatented claims on Federal Land. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
Historical drill holes exist at the Mealey and Harrison prospects as well as numerous mine shafts, adits and surface workings. No further technical information has yet been found to verify and validate the previous work done other than Geological Survey reports from the State of Utah. |
| Geology | The mineralisation is seen as predominantly disseminated copper (as malachite and azurite) with lesser lead, zinc, cobalt and silver in sandstones as a result of fluid flow along major structures on the limb of a collapsed salt dome anticline within the Paradox Basin , Utah USA. This is a recognised style of mineralisation and one that is common to the Moab district of Utah, USA. |
| Drill hole Information | Drill hole collars are recorded with DGPS and hole depths measured via the drill rods down hole. No orientation of the hole or the core is achievable with the type of drill rig employed. |
| Data aggregation methods | Aggregation of assays has been completed in this release in the results table. The aggregation is based upon reporting any interval of copper, lead or zinc over 0.1% and silver over 5g/t. Internal dilution within the aggregated sample of not more than one sample assay below the cut off may be included if present |
PAGE 14
FIRESTRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
| Relationship between mineralisation width and intercept lengths |
The mineralisation is strata bound and wherever possible vertical drilling has been close to normal to the stratigraphy is considered to approximate the true width, however without down hole surveys and core orientation the widths remain approximate until further drilling can confirm the true widths |
|---|---|
| Diagrams | Attached to the release are prospect detail maps showing the drill hole locations and a normalised visual representation of the copper distribution with the contours displaying distribution in terms of the percent copper x interval thickness in feet. Datum is WGS83 zone 12 North. |
| Balanced reporting | A 0.1% copper has been applied to the reporting of assays. Any reference to “high grade” is copper assays above 1.0% copper, 1% lead or 1% zinc as well as greater than 30g/t silver. To reduce the impact of assay costs the sampling regime has been modified to only include those zones where mineralisation has been seen. Material between the holes will be sampled and assayed at a later date. “Anomalous” results refer to elevated assays above background but below the cut-off grade of 0.1% copper, lead or zinc and 5g/t silver. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
The intention of the drilling is to test for the presence of copper from surface where exposure is limited. This is especially for areas where copper float has been seen at the base of cliffs in the project area, but scaling the cliffs has proved to be beyond the reach of field exploration. The drill rig is capable of testing down to 75 feet, however ground conditions are limiting the penetration at this stage to less than 30 feet. |
| Further work | Given the poor ground conditions encountered, a larger drilling rig will be employed to test at depth the areas identified as mineralised from this drilling campaign. The current programme will also allow better targeting of drill holes, minimizing costs and limiting environmental impacts. |

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
The Company is committed to implementing the highest standards of corporate governance. In determining what those high standards should involve the Company has considered the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Recommendations, 3rd Edition. In line with the above, the Board has set out the way forward for the Company in its implementation of its Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Recommendations. The approach taken by the board was to set a blueprint for the Company to follow as it introduces elements of the governance process. Due to the current size of the Company and the scale of its operations it is neither practical nor economic for the adoption of all of the recommendations approved via the board charter. Where the Company has not adhered to the recommendations it has stated that fact in this Corporate Governance Statement however has set out a mandate for future compliance when the size of the Company and the scale of its operations warrants the introduction of those recommendations. Date of last review and Board approval: 21 September 2015.
As the Board currently does not have a Managing Director, all reference to a Managing Director will be assumed by the Non Executive Director/Company Secretary.

An Independent Director: 1. is a Non-Executive Director and; 2. is not a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the Company; 3. within the last three years has not been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another group member, or been a Director after ceasing to hold any such employment; 4. within the last three years has not been a principal of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to the Company or another group member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided; 5. is not a material supplier or customer of the Company or another group member, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer; 6. has no material contractual relationship with the Company or other group member other than as a Director of the Company; 7. has not served on the Board for a period which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the Director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Company; and 8. is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the Director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Company. Materiality for the purposes of points 1 to 8 above is determined on the basis of both quantitative and qualitative aspects with regard to the independence of Directors. An amount over 5% of the Company’s expenditure or 25% of theparticular Director’s annualgross income is |

| considered to be material. A period of more than six years as a Director would be considered material when assessing independence. Paul Lloyd (appointed 10 March 2011) is a Non-Executive Director and Company Secretary of the Company and does not meet the Company’s criteria for independence. His experience and knowledge of the Company makes his contribution to the Board such that it is appropriate for him to remain on the Board and in his position as a Non-Executive Director. Roger Steinepreis (appointed 10 March 2011) is a Non-Executive Director and Chairman of the Company and a substantial shareholder and therefore does not meet the Company’s criteria for independence. His experience and knowledge of the Company makes his contribution to the Board such that it is appropriate for him to remain on the Board and in his position as a Non-Executive Director and Chairman. David Holden (appointed 10 March 2011) is a Non-Executive Director of the Company and does not meet the Company’s criteria for independence as he is a former Managing Director and has a substantial shareholding. His experience and knowledge of the Company makes his contribution to the Board such that it is appropriate for him to remain on the Board and in his position as a Non-Executive Director. |

No | Risk Management Policy Website |
The Board has not established a separate Risk Committee, and therefore it is not structured in accordance with Recommendation 7.1. Given the current size and composition of the Board, the Board believes that there would be no efficiencies gained by establishing a separate Risk Committee. Accordingly, the Board performs the role of Risk Committee. Items that are usually required to be discussed by a Risk Committee are discussed at a separate meeting when required. When the Board convenes as the Risk Committee it carries out those functions which are delegated to it in the Company’s Risk Committee Charter. The Board deals with any conflicts of interest that may occur when convening in the capacity of the Risk Committee by ensuring that the Director with conflicting interests is not party to the relevant discussions. The Board as a whole did not meet as the Risk Committee during the year. Risk identification and risk management discussions occurred at several Board meetings throughout the year. To assist the Board to fulfil its function as the Risk Committee, the Company has adopted a Risk Management Policy. |

The Board monitors risk through various arrangements including: • regular Board meetings; • share price monitoring; • market monitoring; and • regular review of financial position and operations. The Company has developed a Risk Register in order to assist with the risk management of the Company. The Company’s Risk Management Policy is considered a sound strategy for addressing and managing risk. During the year, management regularly reported to the Board on the following categories of risks affecting the Company as part of the Company’s systems and processes for managing material business risks: operational, financial reporting, sovereignty and market-related risks. |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These general purpose financial statements comprise the financial report and notes of Firestrike Resources Limited, a listed Australian company incorporated and domiciled in Western Australia. The Company was listed on the ASX on 26 July 2011.
Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting (AIFRS), Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the Australian Accounting Standards Board has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The financial report was authorised for issue on 22 September 2015.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
Going Concern
The Consolidated Group has incurred a net loss after tax of $683,665 for the year ended 30 June 2015 (after booking an impairment expense of $369,588 in relation to exploration expenditure). The Consolidated Group experienced cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $430,970 for the year and at balance date had cash assets of $719,359 and net current assets of $709,760.
The ability of the Consolidated Group to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon the management of expenditure and the raising of sufficient additional capital to fund exploration expenditure, other principal activities and working capital. The directors believe that the Consolidated Group will be able to manage its expenditure in the 12 months from the date this financial report is signed, or if required, will be successful in raising sufficient capital in that period such that the Consolidated Group will continue to be a going concern.
a. Income Tax
The income tax expense/(benefit) for the year comprises current income tax expense/(benefit) and deferred tax expense/(benefit).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities/(assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to/(recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the period as well unused tax losses.
PAGE 47
FIRESTRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Current and deferred income tax expense/(benefit) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial report. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
b. Financial Instruments
Recognition and Initial Measurement
Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the Consolidated Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention.
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

Classification and Subsequent Measurement
i. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading for the purpose of short term profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
ii. Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
iii. Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Consolidated Group’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
iv. Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as such or that are not classified in any of the other categories. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.
v. Financial Liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
c. Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the Directors review the carrying values of the Consolidated Group’s 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 statement of comprehensive income.
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 Directors estimate the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

FIRESTRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
d. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Consolidated Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.
e. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 12 months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.
f. Revenue and Other Income
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. Any consideration deferred is treated as the provision of finance and is discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those goods.
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent in the instrument. Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
g. Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the Consolidated Group during the reporting period, which remains unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amount being normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.
h. 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 not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these 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 statement of financial position 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.

i. Comparative Figures
Where required by Accounting standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in the presentation for the current financial year.
j. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Consolidated Group.
Key Estimates — Impairment
The Directors assess impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Consolidated Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.
Key Estimates – Income tax
Balances disclosed in the financial report and the notes thereto related to taxation are based on the best estimates of Directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the Consolidated Group as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the Directors’ understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that Directors’ best estimate, pending an assessment by the Australian Taxation Office.
Key Judgement – Environmental issues
Balances disclosed in the financial report and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted environmental legislation, and the Directors’ understanding thereof. At the current stage of the Consolidated Group’s development and its current environmental impact the Directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate.
k. Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of Firestrike Resources Limited.
l. Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any allowance for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within periods ranging from 15 days to 30 days.
PAGE 51
FIRESTRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
l. Trade and other receivables (continued)
Impairment of trade receivables is continually reviewed and those that are considered to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account is used when there is objective evidence that the Consolidated Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms. Factors considered by the Consolidated Group in making this determination include known significant financial difficulties of the debtor, review of financial information and significant delinquency in making contractual payments to the Consolidated Group. The impairment allowance is set equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the receivable and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Where receivables are short-term discounting is not applied in determining the allowance.
The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.
m. Employee leave benefits
Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the balance date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.
Long service leave
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 period of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the balance date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
n. Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a new business are not included in the cost of acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
o. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit/loss attributable to members of the Company, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit/loss attributable to members of the Company, adjusted for:
-
costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;
-
the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been
-
recognised as expenses;
-
and other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the
-
dilution of potential ordinary shares;
-
divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for
-
any bonus element.
p. Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to each separate area of interest is recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which it is incurred where the following conditions are satisfied:
- (i) the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and
(ii) at least one of the following conditions is also met:
-
(a) the exploration and evaluation expenditure is expected to be recouped through successful development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or
-
(b) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the balance date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortisation of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.

ANNUAL REPORT 2015
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
p. Exploration and evaluation expenditure (continued)
Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified to development.
q. Adoption of new and revised standards
Changes in accounting policies on initial application of Accounting Standards
In the year ended 30 June 2015, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group’s operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.
It has been determined by the Directors that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group’s business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Consolidated Group accounting policies.
The Directors have also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2015. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group’s business and, therefore, no change necessary to Consolidated Group accounting policies.
r. Foreign currency translation
Both the functional and presentation currency of Firestrike Resources Limited is Australian dollars. Each entity in the Consolidated Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance date.
All exchange differences in the consolidated financial report are taken to profit or loss with the exception of differences on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity. These are taken directly to equity until the disposal of the net investment, at which time they are recognised in profit or loss.
Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those borrowings are also recognised in equity.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.
The functional currency of Firestrike Resources Incorporated is United States dollars.

FIRESTRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
r. Foreign currency translation (continued)
As at the balance date the assets and liabilities of this subsidiary is translated into the presentation currency of Firestrike Resources Limited at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance date and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used.
The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken directly to a separate component of equity, being recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve.
On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss.
In addition, in relation to the partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Consolidated Group losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are re-attributed to non-controlling interests and are not recognised in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals (i.e. partial disposals of associates or jointly controlled entities that do not result in the Group losing significant influence or joint control), the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss.
s. Share based payments
The Company has issued shares to third parties for the acquisition of tenements and for entering into joint venture arrangements. The cost of these equity-settled transactions has been measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted, namely the market value of Firestrike’s shares on the dates when agreements were reached to issue those shares.
t. Parent entity financial information
The financial information for the parent entity, Firestrike Resources Limited, disclosed in note 22 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below.
(i) Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities are accounted for at cost in the parent entity’s financial statements. Dividends received from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s profit or loss, rather than being deducted from the carrying amount of these investments.
(ii) Share-based payments
The grant by the company of options over its equity instruments to the employees of subsidiary undertakings in the group is treated as a capital contribution to that subsidiary undertaking. The fair value of employee services received, measured by reference to the grant date fair value, is recognised over the vesting period as an increase to investment in subsidiary undertakings, with a corresponding credit to equity.

These benefits will only be obtained if:
i. The Consolidated Group derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the loss to be realised;
ii. The Consolidated Group continues to comply with conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and

NOTE 12: ISSUED CAPITAL AND RESERVES (CONTINUED)
Capital risk management
The Consolidated Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.
Due to the nature of the Consolidated Group’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Consolidated Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Consolidated Group’s capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Consolidated Group to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. The Consolidated Group’s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. The working capital position of the Consolidated Group at 30 June 2015 is as follows:
| Consolidated Group at 30 June 2015 is as follows: | ||

NOTE 16: OPERATING SEGMENTS
Segment Information
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.
The Group is managed primarily on the basis of mining exploration and treasury activities. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis.
Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics.
Types of reportable segments
1) Tenement exploration and evaluation
The exploration of current projects and the evaluation of new ones are reported in this segment. Segment assets, including acquisition costs of exploration licences and all expenses related to the tenements are reported in this segment.
2) Treasury
The reporting relating to income from cash holdings is reported in this segment.

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments
Accounting policies adopted
Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief operating decision maker with respect to operating segments are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group.
Segment assets
Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of economic value from the asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location.
Unless indicated otherwise in the segment assets note, investments in financial assets, deferred tax assets and intangible assets have not been allocated to operating segments.
Segment liabilities
Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole and are not allocated.
Unallocated items
The following items of revenue, expense, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments, as they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment:
-
•net gains on disposal of available-for-sale investments;
-
•impairment of assets excluding exploration assets and other non-recurring items of revenue or expense;
-
•income tax expense;
-
•deferred tax assets and liabilities;
-
•trade payable and other payables;
-
•intangible assets.

NOTE 20: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
- a. Financial Risk Management Policies
The Consolidated Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks.
The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments is to raise finance for Consolidated Group operations.
The Consolidated Group does not speculate in the trading of derivative instruments.
i. Treasury Risk Management
The Board meets on a regular basis to analyse financial risk exposure and to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts.
The Board’s overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Consolidated Group in meeting its financial targets, whilst minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance.
Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the Board on a regular basis.
ii . Financial Risk Exposures and Management
Interest rate risk
The Consolidated Group exposure to financial risk is limited to interest rate risk arising from assets and liabilities bearing variable interest rates. The weighted average interest rate on cash holdings is 2.6% at 30 June 2015. All other assets and liabilities are non interest bearing.
The Consolidated Group holds cash deposits with Australian banking financial institutions, namely the ANZ Bank. The ANZ Bank has an AA rating with Standard & Poors.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Consolidated Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Consolidated Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient cash and marketable securities are available to meet the current and future commitments of the Consolidated Group. Due to the nature of the Consolidated Group’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Consolidated Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. The Board of Directors constantly monitors the state of equity markets in conjunction with the Consolidated Group’s current and future funding requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. The financial liabilities of the Consolidated Group are confined to trade and other payables as disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position. All trade and other payables are non-interest bearing and due within 12 months of the reporting date. The Board manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows against actual liquidity level on a regular basis
There are no unused borrowing facilities from any financial institution.
Credit risk
There no material amounts of collateral held as security at balance date.
Credit risk is reviewed regularly by the Board. It arises through deposits with financial institutions.
The Board monitors credit risk by actively assessing the rating quality and liquidity of counter parties. Only banks and financial institutions with an ‘A’ rating are utilised.
The Consolidated Group only invests in listed available-for-sale financial assets that have a minimum ‘A’ credit rating. Unlisted available-for-sale financial assets are not rated by external credit agencies. These are reviewed regularly by the Consolidated Group to ensure that credit exposure is minimised.
The credit risk for counterparties included in trade and other receivables at balance date is nil.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report.
