CORPORATE
During the quarter, Firestrike Resources Limited (“ The company” or “FIE”) has progressed negotiations with Escalante Star LLC ( “Escalante”) to acquire up to 80% of the Elephant Canyon gold copper project, Utah USA.
The company is expecting to finalise the JV agreement very shortly and is positioned to immediately start active field exploration including drilling on the first of fourteen targets identified within the project area.
OPERATIONAL
Elephant Canyon gold copper Project. (Potential JV with Escalante Star LLC in which Firestrike Resources Limited can earn up to 80%)
The company is close to completing the joint venture agreement with Escalante Star to earn up to 80% of the equity in the Elephant Canyon gold copper porphyry project in Utah USA. The agreement improves on the initial Letter of Intent with the opportunity for Firestrike to;
-
secure an initial 51% of the project by defining 500,000 ounces gold equivalent inferred JORC resource within 4 years;
-
Increasing to 65% equity once a 1 million ounce resource is defined;
-
Increasing to 80% on completion of a Prefeasibility study provided Firestrike continues to sole fund the project.
In exchange FIE may issue up to 5 million shares in FIE assuming all milestones are met with an initial payment of $100,000 to the vendors on signing the JV.
This project is considered to have significant potential for gold, copper plus other base and precious metals. It is geologically similar to the Rio Tinto mine at Salt Lake City ( Bingham Canyon/ Kenecott) and the closer Tintic mining district where Rio Tinto is also seeking to bring the Andover Ventures Inc, Bill Hill Project into production.
A recent site visit by the Company’s Managing Director confirmed the abundant historical pits and shafts. The visit also confirmed the presence of copper mineralisation in outcrop and some exposure of skarn alteration within limestone intruded by the main quartz monzonite stocks.
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.
Details on the geology of the project is available on the company’s web site.

(100% Firestrike Resources Limited)

(100% Firestrike Resources Limited)
In conjunction with the ongoing work for Grants Creek, the Angelo Project is also progressing towards drilling with the anticipation that a Heritage Survey will be completed in time to allow drilling to start within the first half of 2012. 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%)
Whilst the company is focused on completing the Joint Venture on the Elephant Canyon project in USA, recent exploration work on the Elaine project has continued to refine the drill target within the southern area of the tenement. In fill soil sampling has been completed and rock chip sampling along the road cutting where the vein system is exposed has refined targets within this southern area of the tenement.
