Corporate Activity
During the period the Company completed a successful Initial Public Offering of shares in the Company to raise $3.1 million for funding exploration on the Grants Creek, Angelo and Elaine Projects. These funds will also allow the Company to continue to identify and evaluate other opportunities and acquisitions that may lead to increasing the value of the Company over time.
Upon listing, the Company finalised settlement of the tenement acquisition agreement with Pacrim Energy Limited to acquire 8 prospecting licenses in Western Australia by issuing 2,000,000 shares in Firestrike valued at $0.20 each to Pacrim on 5 July 2011.
In addition, the Company satisfied the conditions precedent in respect of an option to acquire exploration tenements in Victoria from Minico Pty Ltd, which required Firestrike to issue 1,000,000 shares valued at $0.20 each to Minico on 5 July 2011.

project in Utah, United States of America. The Company is to complete a due diligence evaluation of the project prior to completion of the JV Agreement and is still to negotiate final terms of participation in the Joint Venture. The due diligence and subsequent Joint Venture Agreement are due for completion in early March 2012.
Operations
Elephant Canyon (Firestrike Resources Limited to earn up to 80%)
Firestrike Resources Limited has signed a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Escalante Star LLC to acquire a majority interest in Escalante Star‟s Elephant Canyon copper, silver, gold and polymetallic porphyry project in Utah through a Joint Venture.
To the north of the project area, and in a similar geological setting, is the Bingham Canyon mine. This mine, operated by Rio Tinto, is reported to generate over 300,000 tons of copper and 400,000 ounces of gold every year. It is one of the largest copper mines in the world[1] .
The Project is considered by the Company to meet its strategic development plans with strong geological evidence of extensive mineralisation observed at numerous workings, shafts and historical production, dating from the 1870‟s through to the 1960‟s.
Escalante Star LLC have been carrying out geological mapping and sampling of the workings since 2008 and exploration is now entering the phase of development where drilling is required. They will provide the technical expertise on location, with geologists and land managers based in the area of the project who have a long history of exploration and development in the Beaver/Milford region.

HALF-YEAR REPORT TO 31 DECEMBER 2011
Under the terms of the LOI, (which is subject to a satisfactory due diligence investigation anticipated for completion before March 2012), the Company is to acquire up to 80% equity in the project by the completion of set milestones. Terms of the LOI include an initial minimum expenditure on the project of $2 million and the completion of resource estimations in accordance with the JORC code and guidelines. The current vendors of the project will be free carried until the completion of a Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”).
Grants Creek Project P80/1576, 1577, 1578, 1579, 1580, 1582, 1760. (100% Firestrike Resources Limited)
Analytical results of soil and rock chip samples collected within the project area during the period have confirmed the presence of high grade gold (greater than 5 g/t).
Two of the six rock chip samples (ranging from 0.0 to 33.9 g/t gold) collected from within the project area were from the Star of Kimberley Prospect where 7.8 g/t was returned in assay of a sample from the main quartz vein and 33.9 g/t from material comprising altered rock on the vein contact to country rock. Combined sampling represents approx. 1.5 metres wide interval of vein and wall rock alteration.
The results confirms both the potential for the known vein systems to contain high grade gold and that the spatial distribution of other parallel vein systems throughout the project area is still open.
48 soil samples also collected peripheral to the historical sampling area support the results of the pervious sampling campaigns which had identified a corridor of gold mineralisation above a nominal background of 4 ppb. The corridor runs for over 5 kilometres through the Company‟s leases.
Drilling is proposed and work is underway to follow up on previous explorers and the recent high grade rock chip samples. Currently the Company is in the process of completing statutory requirements in preparation for a possible drill programme. The Company hopes to complete drilling at both the Grants Creek and Angelo projects contemporaneously to minimise mobilisation and ancillary costs.

HALF-YEAR REPORT TO 31 DECEMBER 2011
Angelo Project, Halls Creek E80/2707 (100% Firestrike Resources Limited)
Desk top compilation of the historical data has been provisionally completed on the project in preparation for the commencement of regional exploration drilling. The Company is confident that the soil anomaly identified from the historical data presents a valid exploration target and, coupled with drill results from the previous tenement holders, is now working to finalise the statutory requirements prior to commencing drilling.
The Company seeks to have these requirements completed as soon as conveniently possible with a view to drilling prior to the onset of the wet season.
Elaine Project, Ballarat, E5133
(Firestrike Resources with an Option to acquire 100%)
Data compilation is continuing with a view to developing exploration strategy details due for early 2012. A second phase of infill soil sampling is proposed for early in 2012 following a site inspection by Firestrike Resources Limited senior technical staff in late 2011.

HALF-YEAR REPORT TO 31 DECEMBER 2011
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of compliance
These interim financial statements are a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, applicable accounting standards including AASB 134 „Interim Financial Reporting‟, Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board („AASB‟). Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with IAS 34 „Interim Financial Reporting‟.
This interim half-year report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the Company as in the full financial report.
It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the period ended 30 June 2011, the Company‟s IPO replacement prospectus dated 26 May 2011 and any public announcements made by Firestrike Resources Limited during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year. As the Company was registered on 10 March 2011, this half-year financial report is the Company‟s first half-year financial report, and as such, no comparatives are applicable for the statement of comprehensive income, condensed statement of changes in equity or the condensed statement of cash flows.
Basis of preparation
The interim report has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments to fair value. Cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The Company is domiciled in Australia and all amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011
For the purpose of preparing the interim report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Accounting judgments and key estimates
The preparation of interim financial reports requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Except as described below, in preparing this interim report, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company‟s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the Company financial report for the period ended 30 June 2011.
Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards
In the half-year ended 31 December 2011, the Company has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011.
It has been determined by the Company that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Company accounting policies.
The Company has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the half-year ended 31 December 2011. 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 its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Company accounting policies.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Firestrike Resources Limited
Report on the Interim Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Firestrike Resources Limited (“the company”), which comprises the condensed statement of financial position as at 31 December 2011, the condensed statement of comprehensive income, condensed statement of changes in equity and condensed statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the company.
Directors’ responsibility for the half-year financial report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2011 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of the company, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
