OPERATIONAL
Elephant Canyon Gold Copper Project (JV with Escalante Star LLC in which Firestrike Resources Limited can earn up to 80%)
Firestrike Resources Limited has released the results from 154 rock chip and grab samples taken to test and identify possible mineralised rocks, has confirmed the presence of gold and copper . (ASX release dated 2[nd] August 2012).
The samples were taken from outcrop and float throughout the project area including the drill target area of the Coronado fissure zone. ( See figure 1 attached ). The fissure zone at the Coronado prospect is traceable for over 1.2 kilometres by approximately 400 metres wide and has historical mine workings marking its strike length to date.
The figures show the results of the sampling with the sample locations overlain on aerial photography.
Sample points are marked as black dots. Copper values over 2% labelled and Gold values over 2 g/t labelled.
The results have confirmed that elevated gold and copper is present within the zone.
A maximum value of 9.3 g/t gold with an overall average value of 0.4 g/t was returned.
Copper in samples taken from a second highly prospective target, (the Incan/Humbolt prospect) returned a cluster of results above 1% copper with a maximum value of 3.94% and an average of 0.5% from both skarn and mineralised porphyry samples. Gold samples averaged 0.93 g/t with a maximum value of 21.0 g/t.
The Company has gained formal approval from the Bureau of Land Management to proceed to drilling.
Drilling commenced early September with a view to completing up to 4,000 metres using reverse circulation drilling.

QUARTERLY REPORT SEPTEMBER I PAGE 3
The Company’s immediate focus is upon a defined fissure zone, which is traceable for over 1.2 kilometres by approximately 400 metres wide.
The zone has historical mine workings along its strike length and elevated gold in historical rock chip samples collected from the workings and outcrop provides a strong indication of gold in an epithermal system at or near surface.
Sample values showing gold in grams per tonne. Values in bold black from 2012 analyses, with the remaining values in blue italics taken from Crown Resources data 1991-92. Orange outline is the Coronado Target; Blue line is current property outline.
About Utah
Utah is understood by the Company to be a “mine friendly” state with no state royalties and minimum statutory obligations imposed upon exploration and mining. The state has significant mining activity from gold and copper through uranium and fossil fuels including coal, oil and gas production. (See web site for state map depicting the mineral resources of Utah).
The Project area itself is close to state highways and within 2 kilometres of the township of Milford which is a major railhead for the Union Pacific Railway. In terms of infrastructure the property has electrical power and gas supply lines passing through the far eastern margin and is less than four hours travel by road from the state’s capital Salt Lake City.

Grants Creek Project P80/1576, 1577, 1578, 1579, 1580, 1582, 1760
(100% Firestrike Resources Limited)
The Company is still in the process of completing statutory requirements in preparation for a possible drill programme and has plans to commence drilling once the statutory Heritage requirements are completed.
Angelo Project, Halls Creek E80/2707
(100% Firestrike Resources Limited)
In conjunction with the ongoing work for Grants Creek, the Angelo Project is still considered suitable for first phase RAB/Aircore drilling once all Heritage issues are successfully resolved. Work is progressing on completion of the statutory access requirements and provisional aircore rigs are currently being sought to meet with the Company’s new timetable.
Elaine Project, Ballarat E5133
(Firestrike Resources with an option to acquire 100%)
The Company remains committed to exploration at the Elephant Canyon project, and has withdrawn from the Option agreement with Minico Pty Ltd for the acquisition of the Elaine Project in Victoria to remain focused in its current USA exploration. This will allow the Company to continue to concentrate primarily on its USA project and on plans to complete initial drilling on the high grade gold projects in Western Australia.
