HIGHLIGHTS
The Company;
-
Acquisition of copper and silver property in Moab Utah. Abundant copper at surface. Well advanced.
-
Acquisition of base metals Project, Nabberu. Low cost entry into highly prospective, large-scale lead and zinc domain.
-
Aeromagnetic data acquisition commissioned for Kimberley Projects. Continuing to advance and quantify high grade gold at the Grants creek and Angelo properties.
OPERATIONAL
In Operational matters this quarter, Firestrike Resources has acquired 100% interest in a copper project in Utah USA. This property was the focus of a release made in November 2013 and is a robust disseminated copper project located close to road, rail and power and the town of Moab, Utah USA. The Company has already completed an initial investigation into the merits of the project and recently completed a substantial surface sampling programme with an intention of progressing to drilling at the project early in 2014.
The Company has also acquired two exploration licence applications covering part of the Scorpion and Salvation Faults in the Nabberu Basin Western Australia. The area is prospective for massive disseminated base metals deposition, and is following up on data indicating lead and zinc mineralising from previous exploration efforts. This project is also 100% owned by the Company.
On existing properties in Australia, Firestrike has completed airborne magnetic and radiometric studies over the Kimberley gold projects in an effort to resolve structural complexities at both properties.
Given the limited operating capital, Firestrike Resources Limited has remained focused on cost reduction and further funding will be directed towards the most advanced projects. Such cost cutting includes reducing the Managing Director’s consulting fees by 50% from 1 January 2014.
The Company has 32,000,000 shares on issue with 9,229,092 options currently issued and 6,770,908 to be placed at the discretion of the Directors.
Copper Ridge Project – Utah USA. (100% Firestrike Resources Limited)
Company has acquired the Copper Ridge Project, Salt Valley, Utah. This project is 100% owned by the Company and field work has already commenced.
Copper Ridge has;
-
Numerous historical small scale copper mines on the property and adjacent to the project area.
-
A producing copper mine (80 kilometres to the southeast).
QUARTERLY REPORT DECEMBER 2013 PAGE 2
-
Significant visible copper mineralisation at surface at a number of the already identified prospect locations.
-
disseminated copper carbonate in sediments in outcrops.
-
Exciting initial surface sample results obtained.
-
As part of a preliminary due diligence of the project, 8 surface samples were collected at Copper Ridge. Samples from the Hoosier mine (Hoosier prospect) reported copper over 1% with 1.87% copper (LSCC31), 8.05% copper (LSCC32) 2.53% copper (LSCC09), 9.31% copper (LSCC10) and 2.36% copper (LSCC11) and from the Xaz prospect of 1.34% copper (LSCC12).
A full table of results is included below. The samples were collected at surface and taken from either the dumps surrounding old workings or from outcrop.
This initial result is very encouraging and the Company is now working to continue to define the nature and extent of the mineralisation at surface throughout the Company’s claims area. The surface exposure allows the technical team to focus their immediate exploration efforts and consequently increases the likelihood of adding significant value to the project in the short term.

The Company already owns 175 claims in its own right and is in negotiation for the metalliferous mineral rights over the SITLA leases with the SITLA administration. (Refer to the accompanying map). Currently these leases are in contract to Pinnacle Potash Limited however multiple use of the leases are permissible at the discretion of the SITLA administration.
The first phase pf exploration field work at the Harrison, Xaz and Mealey prospects including channel sampling, adit sampling and detailed mapping has finished. The Company will commence drilling in early in 2014 subject to confirmation of economic copper from the sampling programme.
This project is seen to compliment the other recent project acquisition in the Nabberu Basin where similar models for deposition and similar opportunities for significant development of base metals exist.
Formed from a broad anticline structure, Salt valley is 40 kilometres long and 1 kilometre wide, and is located 60 kilometres from the Moab township. It is crossed by the Interstate Highway I-70 and the Rio Grande Western Railroad. US Highway 183 parallels the southwest flank of the structure.
Geologically the valley is a faulted and partially collapsed anticline with the residual beds of the Paradox formation exposed at surface. This formation is a sedimentary sequence of sandstones, siltstones, limestones and shales formed from Paleozoic to Mesozoic times. Faults parallel both sides of the axis of the fold. This partial breaching of the anticline along these faults is a response to the dissolution of salt from beneath the sediments and subsequent basin deformation. The anticline plunges gently to the north.
QUARTERLY REPORT DECEMBER 2013 PAGE 4
Several small copper and copper/silver mines were active in the Salt Valley anticline on the south western limb. These deposits were worked intermittently from the early 1900s to 1930s and are now abandoned. The Hoosier Mine (within in the SITLA lease) is inferred to be on a fault splay on the southwest flank of the anticline in close proximity to the main north striking fault and is reported to have produced 100,000 ounces of silver from within the copper ore mined which was at a grade quoted in the Utah Geological and Mineral Survey Report 1979[1] of 8% copper.
The Utah Geological and Mineral Survey Report 1979[2] also refer to a second significant mining operation (Harrison Prospect as shown on accompanying map) where copper was acid leached from disseminated ore. The mining was active in the 1970’s but was discontinued due to operational inefficiencies. Whilst a resource was calculated for this operation and “a large low grade copper reserve [was] reported to have been drill out” , as it is not compliant with current JORC code and guidelines, it cannot be quoted.
Active mining is present today 80 kilometres to the southeast of Salt Valley at the Lisbon Valley Copper mine (a private company operation) which is reported to be producing between 20 – 30 million pounds (8,000-10,000 tonnes) of copper per year. Their total resource to date is approximately 256 million pounds (110,000 tonnes) of copper[3] . The copper is also within predominantly sandstone and is also processed using simple acid heap leach with SX/EW treatment.

Nabberu lead and zinc Project ELA 53/345 and ELA 53/346 (100% Firestrike Resources Limited)
The Company has applied for over 240,000 hectares of ground in the Nabberu Basin, Western Australia. It is anticipated that a focused programme of remote sensing, continued data collation and field sampling will add substantial value to the property in the short term with a view to having drill ready targets identified for testing in early in 2014 once the tenement is granted. The Company sees this as a very positive low cost entry into an area that is considered highly prospective for base metals, silver and gold.
This is in a region previously identified as likely to host stratiform mineral deposits but to date has been significantly underexplored. Past explorers include Western Mining, CRA Exploration, Geopeko, and Jubilee Gold Mines NL. The tenements are adjacent to Vale Exploration to the northeast and approximately 8 kilometres to the east of the well documented Willy Willy lead and zinc anomaly.
Evaluation of historical exploration results outline a massive target of over 11 kilometres long by up to 1.2 kilometres wide of elevated Nickel, Copper, Lead and Zinc and is the immediate priority for the Company looking to test for significant coherent mineralisation at depth.
During the 1970s Western Mining commenced exploration largely for vein style uranium and conducted vertical percussion drilling throughout the region averaging 30 metres deep. Whilst no uranium was encountered, the Company reported anomalous base metals with the most significant hole WA–NB–R46 (one of 6 holes out of 13 drilled within the application area to contain greater than 100 ppm lead or Zinc as tabled below) returning 6m @ 1,111 ppm lead including 2 metres @ 2,350 ppm lead from 16 metres and 1,164 ppm zinc including 2 metres @ 1,550 ppm from the same interval.
Elevated base metals in the remaining 5 holes around were intersected at around 14 – 28 metres deep all in oxidized sericite schist.
In the report by Jubilee Gold Mines NL ( Annual Report Nabberu 1979) , it is recorded that a geologist working for Giralia Resources Ltd collected “several” rock chips that contained anomalous Cu, Pb, Zn and Ag with only the most notable one quoted by Jubilee Gold Mines NL as 560ppm copper, 1,100 ppm lead, 2,300 ppm zinc and 17 ppm silver . The actual sample locations and other results have not yet been confirmed nor the original data verified. This single reported result however does indicate that elevated base metals may be found at surface in the area. The result will be followed up in the field once the tenement is granted.
Diamond drilling some 400 metres north of hole R46 by CRA (focusing on an aeromagnetic feature) intersected elevated base metals at approximately 260 metres depth with 620 ppm zinc, 840 ppm lead, 65 ppm copper and 60 ppb gold in carbonate cemented siltstone containing disseminated magnetite within Scorpion Group sediments, and in a water bore 855WB1 drilled in proximity to WANB-R46, 8 metres @ 168 ppm Lead and 194 ppm Zinc from 32 metres was reported. (see tables below).

The locations of drill holes in all tables have been taken from paper plans and are expressed in terms of UTM WGS84 Zone 50S datum. All coordinates are therefore approximate only until verified on the ground. Western Mining Corporation 1979 completed vertical rotary drilling with 2 metre composite samples; CRA Exploration 1986 completed 85SDD1 as 0-18m RC pre collar; HQ core to 71.9m thereafter NQ to end of hole; and the water bore (85SWB1) as a rotary mud hole with 2m composite samples.
Further base metals anomalism was also identified over the Scorpion fault by Jubilee Gold NL in the late 1990s with a cohesive halo over 2 kilometres in diameter. The target area was followed up with 19 RC drill holes (two with diamond tails) to test both the anomaly and a subtle aeromagnetic feature beneath the anomalism. Trace sphalerite and galena within vuggy dolomites was identified in core as were bitumen droplets and trace chalcopyrite and pentlandite identified within a dolerite at around 120 metres. The drill results however still did not adequately explain the source of the surface anomalism.
On tenement granting the Company will refine drilling targets through high resolution geophysical surveys looking to identify broad areas of sulphide enrichment within the basin sediments underlying the anomalies already identified and are keen to commence active exploration as soon as possible.
