DATED THIS 19th DAY OF OCTOBER 2016
BY ORDER OF THE BOARD,

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
- This Explanatory Statement is provided to Strike shareholders pursuant to and in satisfaction of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.
- This Explanatory Statement is intended to be read in conjunction with the Notice of AGM (Meeting Document).
- Shareholders should read this Meeting Document in full to make an informed decision regarding the resolutions considered at this AGM.
1. 2016 ANNUAL REPORT
Section 317 of the Corporations Act requires the Directors of the Company to lay before the AGM the Directors' Report, Financial Report and the Auditor's Report for the last financial year that ended before the AGM. These reports are contained within the Company's 2016 Annual Report.
A copy of the 2016 Annual Report will be sent to those shareholders who have elected to receive a printed version. Otherwise, an electronic version of the 2016 Annual Report may be viewed and downloaded from the Company's website: www.strikeresources.com.au or the ASX website (www.asx.com.au) under ASX Code: SRK or emailed to shareholders upon request to [email protected], when available.
Shareholders as a whole will be provided with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions or make statements in relation to these reports and on the business and operations of the Company but no resolution to adopt the reports will be put to shareholders at the AGM.
Shareholders will also be given a reasonable opportunity to ask the Auditor questions about the Auditor's Report and the conduct of the audit of the Financial Report.
2. ORDINARY RESOLUTION 1 – RE-ELECTION OF MATTHEW HAMMOND AS DIRECTOR
Resolution 1 seeks shareholder approval for the re-election of Mr Matthew Hammond as a Director of the Company.
The Company's Constitution requires one third of the Directors (or if that is not a whole number, the whole number nearest to one third) to retire at each AGM. The Director(s) who retire under this rule are those who have held office the longest since last being elected or appointed. If two or more Directors have been in office for the same period, those Directors may agree which of them will retire. This rule does not apply to the Managing Director.
Mr Hammond retires at this AGM under this rule. However, being eligible, he has offered himself for re-election as a Director of the Company.
Mr Hammond has been a Director of the Company since 25 September 2009 and was most recently re-elected a Director at the 2014 AGM held on 28 November 2014 1 . Mr Hammond's experience, qualifications and other listed directorships are detailed in the Directors' Report in the Company's 2016 Annual Report.
The Board (other than Mr Hammond, who makes no recommendation in respect of his own re-election as a Director) supports the re-election of Mr Hammond to the Board and recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
1 Refer Strike ASX announcement dated 28 November 2014: 2014 Results of Annual General Meeting
3. ORDINARY RESOLUTION 2 – APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR
The Board appointed Rothsay Auditing (Rothsay) as the Company's new Auditors with effect on 12 February 2016.2 This appointment followed the resignation of BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd (BDO) as the Company's Auditor and ASIC's consent to BDO's resignation, in accordance with the Corporations Act.
The transition of Auditor occurred as part of a review of the Company's corporate administration costs – Rothsay was selected after considering proposals received from BDO and a number of other audit firms.
Rothsay is a firm of Chartered Accountants with offices in Perth and Sydney.
In accordance with the Corporations Act:
- Rothsay holds office as Auditor until this AGM of the Company and is standing for reappointment as Auditor pursuant to Resolution 23 ; and
- the Company has sought and obtained a nomination from a shareholder for Rothsay to be appointed as the Company's Auditor.4 A copy of this nomination is attached to this Explanatory Statement as Annexure A.
Rothsay have given their written consent to act as the Company's Auditor subject to shareholder approval of this Resolution 2.
The Board supports the re-appointment and continuation of Rothsay as the Company's Auditor and recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
4. ADVISORY NON BINDING RESOLUTION 3 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
Resolution 3 seeks shareholder approval to adopt the Remuneration Report for the financial year ending 30 June 2016 as disclosed in the Company's 2016 Annual Report (refer above for information on accessing the report).
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Company to present to its shareholders for adoption the Remuneration Report.
The Remuneration Report explains the Board's policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to "Key Management Personnel" (being the Company's Directors and Executives identified in the Remuneration Report) (KMP), sets out remuneration details for each KMP, any service agreements and details of any performance-based and equity-based benefits provided to KMP (where applicable).
Shareholders attending the AGM will be given a reasonable opportunity as a whole to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.
The vote on Resolution 3 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
Directors' Recommendations
Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company (as such interests are described in the Remuneration Report) and, as described in the voting exclusions on this resolution (set out in the Notice of AGM) that each Director (or any Closely Related Parties of a Director) are excluded from voting their shares on this resolution, the Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3 to adopt the Remuneration Report.
2 Refer Strike's ASX announcement dated 12 February 2016: Change of Auditors
3 Refer section 327C(2) and section 327B(1)(b) of the Corporations Act
4 Refer section 328B of the Corporations Act
Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion applies to Resolution 3 in the terms set out in the Notice of AGM. In particular, the Restricted Voters may not vote on this resolution and may not cast a vote as proxy, unless the appointment gives a direction on how to vote or the proxy is given to the Chair and expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a KMP. The Chair will use any undirected/open proxies to vote in favour of Resolution 3.
The Company encourages shareholders to indicate their voting direction FOR or AGAINST, or to ABSTAIN, opposite each resolution, including Resolution 3.
If shareholders have appointed the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy (or the Chair of the Meeting becomes their proxy by default) under the Proxy Form, shareholders can direct the Chair of the Meeting to vote FOR or AGAINST, or to ABSTAIN from voting on Resolution 3 by marking the appropriate Voting Direction box opposite that resolution.
However, if the Chair of the Meeting is proxy under the Proxy Form and shareholders do not mark any of the Voting Direction boxes opposite Resolution 3, shareholders are, in effect, directing the Chair to vote "FOR" the resolution as the Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
Shareholders are urged to carefully read the Proxy Form and provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on this resolution.

- If you mark the abstain box for a particular item, you are directing your proxy not to vote on that item on a show of hands or on a poll and that your shares are not to be counted in computing the required majority on a poll.
