Directors
The names of Directors who held office during or since the end of the half-year:
| Roger Steinepreis | Non-Executive Chairman |
|---|---|
| David Holden | Non-Executive Director |
| Paul Lloyd | Director/Company Secretary |
Company Secretary
Paul Lloyd held the position of Company Secretary during the financial period.
Operations
The loss for the half-year ended 31 December 2014 was $167,330 (31 December 2013: $218,184).
For the 6 months ended 31 December 2014, the Company has remained active in its exploration activities. Although the Company has previously withdrawn from all ongoing Joint Venture commitments to lessen cash outlays, it has continued activities particularly on its core asset, Copper Ridge in Utah USA. During the period the Directors resolved to relinquish Australian held tenements to eliminate the holding costs of rates and taxes and free the Company from the expenditure commitments necessary to keep these tenements in good standing.
Copper Ridge Project – Utah USA. (100% Firestrike Resources Limited)
The Company acquired Cooper Ridge project late in 2013, and over the 4 months to April 2014 completed 3 phases of surface sampling. This sampling resulted in delineation of several well defined copper prospects, some of which were the site of historical mining or bulk heap leaching.
Results of the assay work from the surface sampling confirmed that copper was present as predominantly malachite and azurite with indications for metal zoning to include lead silver and cobalt.
Initial metallurgical work competed also indicated that the copper was readily soluble and would be ideal for possible heap leach recovery process as a lower cost bulk tonnage style of operation.

FIRESTRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED ACN 149 796 332 HALF-YEAR REPORT TO 31 DECEMBER 2014
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
In May 2014 shallow core drilling commenced using low impact man portable drilling rig and the results of this drilling were released to the market during the half year period July to December 2014.
Drilling was predominantly at the Harrison prospect, (the site of historical mining with heap leach processing during the late 1970’s), the Xaz prospect where previous small scale mining has taken place and the Mealey Prospect (also the site of historical leaching operations).
The results particularly from the Mealey Project are further supported by previous exploration data which has recently come to light and suggests that other explorers may have drilled as deep as 200 feet into anomalous copper at the prospect identifying up to three mineralised zones. Current drilling has averaged just 22 feet in depth.
The drilling completed by the Company encountered heavily fractured and strongly bedded ground impacting upon the drill’s capability to reach the planned depth. These ground conditions also impacted upon the core quality and appear to have led to core loss within copper zones. This offers encouragement to the Company that the loss may be understating the actual copper grade when compared to surface sampling and vertical sampling of the nearby cliff exposure.
Initial analysis already indicates strong silver – copper association is present and very strong silver results at Xaz with very high grade silver present. In addition lead and zinc are present throughout all three prosects in varying concentrations suggesting discrete metal zoning may be present throughout the 7 kilometres strike length of the mineralised system.

NOTE: All drilling in feet as is the drilling equipment. For conversion to metres 1 foot = 0.3014 metres.
The geology of Copper Ridge is fundamentally a faulted and partially collapsed anticlinal structure with the residual sedimentary beds of the Paradox formation exposed at surface resulting in a valley that is over 40 kilometres long and 1 kilometre wide across the valley floor. The sedimentary sequence comprises sandstones, siltstones, limestone 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.

FIRESTRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED ACN 149 796 332 HALF-YEAR REPORT TO 31 DECEMBER 2014
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Mineralisation is the result of two fluid movements. The initial fluid is as a result of the dewatering and dissolution of the salt dome within red bed sandstones bleaching along the fault structures and reducing the beds with trace bitumen and other organic fragments becoming receptive to an alter stage fluid migration possibly as late as Tertiary Age which introduce copper and other metals . This mineralisation has pervasively flooded into the respective hosts resulting in both narrow high grade fractures and vein fills and broad areas of low grade disseminated copper. There is a strong correlation between the mappable major faults and splays associated with the southern flank of the valley and the main valley controlling structure.
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 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 refers 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.
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 Solvent extract and electrowinning treatment and is a strong parallel to the exploration and development focus for Copper Ridge.
The Company now owns 184 mining claims in its own right and is in negotiation for the metalliferous mineral rights over the SITLA leases with the SITLA administration.

HALF-YEAR REPORT TO 31 DECEMBER 2014
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
JORC TABLE Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data for Copper Ridge Project.
| Criteria | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
The samples were collected as outcrop rock chip grab samples and continuous channel rock chip samples. Equipment used was predominately hammer and electric rock chisel with the collection of rock fragments within a gouge or track of up to 10 cm wide for the channel sampling. No prescriptive methodology has been employed in grab samples however where possible one or more rock fragments over an area of 10cmx10cm has been taken. Drilling 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 samples have been collected in field notes but not to a level of detail that would support mineral estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. 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 |
Every effort was made to remove visual sampling bias. No check or repeat samples have yet been submitted for analysis. The complete sample collected was submitted to the laboratory for analysis. Each sample was weighed at the preparation laboratory and the weights recorded along with analytical results. No specific quality control procedure has been adopted for the collection of the samples other than due care exercised to maintain an unbiased and uniform sample as possible. Samples were shipped to SGS laboratories in Ely Nevada for drying and pulverizing and splitting to prepare a pulp of approx. 200 grams which was then shipped to SGS Perth for analytical determinations. For dril core samples, 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. Analysis has been though ASL Laboratories in USA. |
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
Average sample weight submitted for prep was 0.7kg with a range from 0.36kg to 1.34kg. Analysis was by acid digestion with ICP-OES determinations. Samples were pulverised to minus 75 microns before a split was taken and sent to SGS Perth for analysis. This is an accepted industry analytical process appropriate for the nature and style of mineralisation under investigation. No company generated blanks or standards were incorporated into the sampling procedure. SGS undertook their own internal checks and blanks. For the drilling, 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 |
No verification work has been conducted yet. This will be in the forward work programmes now that the analytical results from this initial sampling are known. No independent or alternative company has yet been engaged to verify results. For the drilling 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 GPS unit and cross checked onto aerial 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 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 channel sampling across stratigraphy has been perpendicular to bedding and where sampling is in the plane of bedding the sampling has been continuous from either start to end of identified mineralisation or continuous from start to finish of outcrop exposure. 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. |

HALF-YEAR REPORT TO 31 DECEMBER 2014
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
JORC TABLE
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data for Copper Ridge Project.
| Criteria | Explanation |
|---|---|
| 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#169 inclusive and within Grand County, Utah USA. They are unpatented claims on Federal Land |
| Exploration done by other parties |
Historical drill holes exist at both 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 and zinc 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. Reports from other workings close by included silver and Cobalt, however no silver above background has yet been identified in sampling and only minor cobalt so far recorded.. 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 |
| Relationship between mineralisation width and intercept lengths |
The mineralisation is strata bound and wherever possible sampling has either been along the bedding plane where exposed or normal to the stratigraphy to estimate where possible across true rather than apparent width. There is no guarantee that all channel sampling represents true width as in some instances exposure was limited or a truly normal section was inaccessible. |
| Diagrams | Maps presented to the public domain are the location of assay results above 0.1% copper. Other diagrams showing sections or model of deposition have been prepared as schematic only. |
| Balanced reporting |
The report to which these results are attached has identified the number of samples taken, the number above a cut off of 0.1% copper and the number of samples considered by the company to be “ high grade” i.e. above 1.0% copper . The summary of data presented is considered to be representative of both the distribution and tenor of grade. Other than lead and zinc additional elements have not been included in the release as the focus for the exploration is copper. Lead and zinc have only been mentioned where the analysis was considered as “high grade” i.e above 1% or where it was in association with a copper sample result. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
The evaluation of old workings, previous mining activity and interpretation of satellite imagery is ongoing. At this stage the sample results in this release simply relate to the surface sampling as it stands. Further geological work including detailed prospect scale mapping and verification of samples and sample sites will be needed to improve confidence in the results. 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 | These results will need to be verified in the field and duplicate test work conducted to ensure repeatability. In addition first phase drilling will need to be done to determine the sub surface nature and extent of the disseminated copper within the sandstones. Initial metallurgical test work will also need to be conducted to give first indications of the potential to recover copper identified within the mineralised rocks. 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. |

HALF-YEAR REPORT TO 31 DECEMBER 2014
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of compliance
These interim financial statements are general purpose financial statements 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 Group as in the annual financial report.
It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2014 and any public announcements made by Firestrike Resources Limited or its subsidiaries 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.
Basis of preparation
The interim report has been prepared on a historical cost basis. 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. For the purpose of preparing the interim report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.
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.
The significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the Group financial report for the year ended 30 June 2014.

NOTE 4:
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
-
(i) Tenement exploration and evaluation:
-
The exploration of current project 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.
-
(ii) Treasury
The reporting relating to income from cash holdings is reported in this segment.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Firestrike Resources Limited
Report on the Condensed 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 2014, 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 notes and the directors’ declaration of the Group comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.
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 internal 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 half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2014 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.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Firestrike Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2014 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
