==> picture [92 x 206] intentionally omitted <==
Paulsens East – Overview
-
§ Strike has completed a Feasibility Study[1] on its 100% owned Paulsens East Iron Ore Project (Paulsens East) located in the Pilbara Region of WA, circa 200kms west of Paraburdoo and 8kms from the Paulsens Gold Mine (owned by Northern Star:NST)
-
§ Paulsens East has a high grade JORC Indicated Mineral Resource[2] of 9.6 Million tonnes at 61.1 % Fe , 6.0% SiO2[,] 3.6% Al2O3 and 0.08% P (with additional exploration upside), including a JORC Probable Ore Reserve[1] of 6.2 Million tonnes at 59.9% Fe , 7.43% SiO2, 3.77% Al2O3 and 0.086% P.
-
§ Strike is targeting a 1.5Mtpa DSO production (mostly high value 62% Fe Lump) commencing in 2021.
-
§ Feasibility Study has confirmed excellent project economics including:
-
LOM free cashflow (pre-tax) of $167 Million ( year 1 free cashflow $67 million )
-
o$15.7 Million Capex -
IRR of 213%
-
4 year mine life (with potential to extend).
-
C1[3] cash cost (FOB) of US$62.1 per tonne in first year, US$64.8 per tonne on average over LOM
-
§ Recent strong iron ore price (~US$134/tonne[4] , versus average US$100/tonne over LOM assumed in Feasibility Study) adds confidence to project economics, with forecast LOM free cashflow of $279 Million at (assumed) US$115/t iron ore price .
-
§ Project risk is low – conventional mining, dry crushing and screening, truck to port for shipment
§ A low capex, high near term cashflow opportunity is a hard to find combination!

§ ORE (Salar de Jujuy JV with Toyota Tusho) is already a low cost, high margin producer of Lithium Carbonate from the Salar de Olaroz basin
-
§ Highly favorable climatic conditions to support brine evaporation - low rainfall, high evaporation
-
§ Supporting infrastructure including paved roads, gas pipeline & high voltage electricity
-
§ Exploration program pending approval of EIA

-
§ JORC Inferred Mineral Resource of 6.3 million tonnes @ 16.0% Total Graphitic Carbon (TGC) for 1,000,000 tonnes of contained graphite[1]
-
§ Includes 2.3 million tonnes @ 20.6% TGC (with a TGC cut-off grade of 18%) for 464,000 tonnes of contained graphite
-
§ Mineralisation is wide and begins at surface, so a conventional shallow pit mine is likely
-
§ The very high-grade ore (~20% TGC) means low mining cost per tonne of graphite
-
§ The soft nature of the ore indicates that crushing and grinding will be inexpensive
-
§ Testwork has demonstrated a simple flotation process will produce high purity concentrate
-
§ CSIRO testwork confirms suitability for Lithiumion batteries
Tasmania 1 Refer to Grade Tonnage Data in Table 2 of CSA Global’s Burke Graphite Project MRE Technical Summary dated 9 November 2017 (attached as Annexure A of Strike’s ASX Announcement dated 13 November 2017: Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate Confirms Burke Project as One of the World’s Highest Grade Natural Graphite Deposits)

Strike Resources – Summary
-
§ Strike has a quality portfolio of assets with differing time horizons
-
§ Strike’s immediate focus is to bring the Paulsens East iron Ore project into production mid-2021
-
§ Paulsens East has the potential to significantly change the valuation of Strike given the near term cash flow opportunity in comparison to the Company’s market cap.
-
§ A low capex, short payback and high near term cashflow opportunity is a hard to find combination!
-
§ Strike also has longer term exposure to the iron ore market with the strategic Apurimac Project which has a JORC Indicated & Inferred Mineral Resource of 269.4Mt @ 57% Fe Magnetite ore with exploration upside:
-
§ The planned open-access Andahuaylas Railway line which will connect the Apurimac Project to Port, will add considerable value to the asset in due course
-
§ Attractive life-of-mine operating expenses
-
§ Iron ore markets are likely to be strong for some time given supply constraints out of Brazil and expected continued stimulus measures in China, Strike is well positioned to capitalise on this opportunity
Thank You
