COMPANY UPDATE
Update on Company Strategy
Strike continues to examine a range of new strategies for the Company in light of the poor outlook for the iron ore sector and the resources sector in general.
In this regard, Strike has been investigating a number of technology related ventures which could form the foundation for a new strategy for the Company.
Any such change will necessarily be subject to Strike shareholder approval and compliance with the ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act.
In relation to the Company’s Apurimac and Cusco Iron Ore Projects in Peru, Strike has consolidated its holding of mineral concessions to the core concessions where JORC Resources have been delineated as well as a number of neighbouring concessions which have strategic value associated with the projects – this has reduced Strike’s holding costs in Peru and provides Strike with the flexibility to pursue opportunities to realise value from these iron ore assets in the future if and when favourable market conditions return.
Financial Position
As at 30 September 2015, Strike had net assets of ~$7.1 million (comprising ~$8.1 million gross cash less provisions/accruals/trade creditors of ~$1 million) (30 June 2015: ~$7.6 million net assets comprising ~$8.4 million cash less provisions/accruals/trade creditors of ~$0.8 million).
Bentley Capital’s Takeover Bid for Strike
On 2 September 2015, Bentley completed its off-market 5.5 cent per share cash takeover bid[1] for Strike, with acceptances received totalling 52,553,493 Strike shares (representing a 36.16% relevant interest in Strike).
Board and Corporate Changes
There has been a number of Board and corporate changes recently[1] :
-
Farooq Khan was appointed a Director with effect on 1 October 2015 - Farooq Khan was an Alternate Director to Victor Ho (20 January 2014 to 1 October 2015) and has been previously a Director of Strike (between 3 September 1999 and 3 February 2011), including as the founding Executive Chairman and Managing Director after the Company’s IPO in March 2000.
-
Victor Ho was appointed Company Secretary with effect on 30 September, replacing David Palumbo (a representative of Mining Corporate) - Victor Ho is currently a Director of Strike (since 20 January 2014) and has previously been a Company Secretary of Strike (between 9 March 2000 and 30 April 2010).
-
Mining Corporate ’ s engagement for the provision of outsourced accounting and company secretarial services to the Company will cease at the end of October. The Board thanks David Palumbo and Mining Corporate for their professionalism and support to Strike.
-
Strike changed its Perth office on 1 October 2015 as a consequence of the transition out of Mining Corporate.
Samantha Tough has advised the Board that she intends to retire and not seek re-election at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (to be held on 30 November 2015), to focus on her other non-executive director roles.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Your Directors present their report on the Consolidated Entity consisting of Strike Resources Limited (“ Company ” or “ Strike ”) and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2015.
Directors
The following persons were Directors of Strike during the whole of the financial year and up to the date of this report: Malcolm Richmond
Matthew Hammond William Johnson Samantha Tough Victor Ho Farooq Khan
Principal Activities
The principal activities of the Consolidated Entity during the financial year were the pursuit of opportunities for realisation of value from Consolidated Entity’s interest in the Apurimac and Cusco Iron Ore Projects located in Peru, South America and consideration of alternative business strategies.
Dividends
No dividends have been paid or declared during the financial year. At the date of this report, no dividend has been recommended for payment in respect of the reporting period.
Review of Operations
During the year, no activity was undertaken on the Company’s iron ore projects in Peru as the Company continued to examine a range of new strategies for the Company in light of the poor outlook for the iron ore sector and the resources sector in general.
A number of parties expressed interest in the Company’s Peru assets during the year. One conditional purchase offer was received, but the commercial terms offered were considered unacceptable by the Board.
A number of non-core mineral concessions in Peru were allowed to lapse on 30 June 2015, significantly reducing the Company’s annual expenditure commitment in Peru. The Company continues to hold those core concessions in Peru which contain its JORC Resources of iron ore in Apurimac and Cusco, as well as some neighbouring concessions which have strategic value associated with the projects.
Whilst some of these core concessions remain the subject of a number of ongoing legal claims in Peru, the Company remains of the view that these claims are spurious and without merit and the Company’s lawyers in Peru continue to successfully defend against these claims.
The Company continues to conserve its cash resources, holding a balance of approximately $8.37 million in cash as of 30 June 2015. All corporate secretarial, compliance and accounting services are outsourced. The Company has no full time employees (apart from the Managing Director) and the Company holds no long term office lease commitments.
Significant Changes in the State of Affairs
In July 2014, the Company received an offer to acquire its Peru assets. However, the Company was unable to reach an agreement with the party making the offer. On 8 August 2014, the offer was withdrawn.
On 8 April 2015, the Company announced that it has received resolutions from the Peruvian Tax Administrator (“SUNAT”) which have predominately ruled in favour of a claim made by the Company’s subsidiary, Apurimac Ferrum S.A.C. As a result, the Company was able to reverse A$1.1 million of its A$1.7 million accrual that it has previously made for withholdings taxes.
On 30 June 2015 the Company received an unsolicited off-market takeover bid by Bentley Capital Limited (ASX: BEL, “Bentley”) (“the Offer”), whose Chairman, Farooq Khan, is Strike’s Alternative Director to Non-Executive Director Victor Ho (who is also Company Secretary of Bentley). Strike Managing Director, William Johnson is also a Non-Executive Director of Bentley.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Events since the End of the Financial Year
On 2 July 2015 the Company announced that a Takeover Response Committee of Company’s independent directors, being the Chairman, Mr Malcolm Richmond, Ms Samantha Tough and Mr Matthew Hammond had been established to respond to the Offer. The Company also announced that following completion of the Offer (irrespective of the outcome of the Offer), Ms Samantha Tough intended to resign from the Company Board to focus on her other non-executive director roles.
In July 2015, Bentley Capital Limited lodged its Bidder’s Statement relating to the Offer with ASIC and dispatched the same to Strike’s shareholders.
In August 2015, the Company lodged its Target Statement in response to the Offer.
The Bid closed on 2 September 2015 and a total of 52,553,493 shares representing 36.16% of the Company’s issued capital were acquired by Bentley during the bid. Bentley as a consequence is now the Company’s largest shareholder.
Likely Developments and Expected Results of Operations
The Company will continue to pursue opportunities to realise value from its Peru assets. The Company maintains legal title to the key mineral concessions in Peru through payment of appropriate annual fees and penalties, with the next scheduled payments due in June 2016. The Company also continues to ensure that its valuable project drilling cores and samples in Peru are stored securely.
The Company retains a strong balance with cash of approximately $8.37 million. With outsourced accounting and company secretarial services and no long term office lease expenses, corporate overhead is relatively low.
The Company is reviewing alternative business strategies in light of the difficult market conditions facing iron ore and the resources sector in general.

Remuneration Governance (under which details of remuneration committee is disclosed)
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is a committee of the Board. It is primarily responsible for making recommendations to the Board on:
-
the necessary and desirable competencies of Directors and the extent to which these are reflected in the Board
-
suitable candidates for the position of Managing Director, when required
-
the development and review of Board succession plans
-
the appointment and re-election of Directors
-
making recommendations to the Board on policy governing the benefits of the Managing Director and any other Executive Director, including equity-based remuneration
-
making recommendations to the Board on the specific benefits to be provided to the Managing Director within the policy
-
conducting an annual review of Non-Executive Directors’ fees and determining whether the limit on the Non-Executive Directors’ fee pool remains appropriate, and
-
assisting the Managing Director to determine the remuneration (including equity- based remuneration) of Senior Management and advise on those determinations
The purposes of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee are to:
-
assist the Managing Director and the Board to adopt and implement a remuneration system that is required to attract, retain and motivate the personnel who will enable the Company to achieve longterm success; and
-
identify appropriate candidates for membership of the Board and, when necessary, identify suitable candidates for the role of Managing Director.
In doing this, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee seeks advice from independent remuneration consultants and consults market and industry surveys. There was no advice received during the current financial year.
Ultimate responsibility for the Company’s remuneration and nomination policies and practices remains with the full Board.
The Corporate Governance Statement provides further information on the role of this Committee.
A copy of Strike’s Remuneration and Nomination Committee Charter can be found on the Company’s website at www.strikeresources.com.au.
Non-Executive Director Remuneration Policy
Fees and payments to Non-Executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the directors. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible to review Non-Executive Directors’ fees annually and makes recommendation to the Board. The Board has also considered the advice of independent market consultants to ensure Non-Executive Directors’ fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market. The Chair’s fees are determined independently to the fees of Non-Executive Directors’ based on comparative roles in the external market.
ANNUAL REPORT | 8
STRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Pursuant to the Company’s Constitution, each Director is entitled to receive:
-
Payment for the performance of extra services and the undertaking of any executive or other work for the Company beyond his or her general duties; and
-
Payment for travelling and other expenses properly incurred by a Director in attending meetings of the Company or the Board or in connection with the Company’s business.
Historically the Board had resolved to remunerate Non-Executive Directors for work over and above that included in their base Director’s fee under a Special Exertion Policy. Where additional services are approved by the Board the Non-Executive Director is entitled to receive $350 per hour plus reimbursement of expenses.
With the exception of the above Special Exertion Policy, Non-Executive Directors do not receive performancebased pay. The Board had also previously resolved and issued Non-Executive Directors with options at various exercise prices and maturity dates as deemed appropriate at that time, however, in line with Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations this is no longer the practice.
Directors’ fees
Non-executive Directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate Directors’ fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The maximum currently stands at $500,000 per annum and was approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting on 25 November 2009.
The Chair’s remuneration was reviewed upon his appointment, in February 2011.
Each Non-Executive Director receives $45,000 per year, except for Ms Tough. Ms Tough receives a higher fee, being the market rate that the Company determined was appropriate at the time she was appointed.
During the year the aggregate fees paid or due to be paid to Non-Executive Directors of the Company were as follows:
| Director | Office held | Gross Salary/fees and Superannuation for the Period | Gross Salary/fees and Superannuation for the Period | Gross Salary/fees and Superannuation for the Period | Gross Salary/fees and Superannuation for the Period |

-
Mr Ho was appointed as a Non-Executive Director on 20 January 2014. His Director’s fee was approved upon appointment.
-
Mr Khan was appointed as an alternate Director for Mr Ho on 20 January 2014.
Retirement Allowances for Non-Executive Directors
In line with the guidance from the ASX Corporate Governance Council on Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration, no Non-Executive Directors receive retirement allowances. Superannuation contributions required under the Australian superannuation guarantee legislation continue to be made and are deducted from the directors’ overall fee entitlements.
Executive Remuneration Policy and Framework
In determining executive remuneration, the Board aims to ensure that remuneration practices are:
-
competitive and reasonable, enabling the Company to attract and retain key talent
-
aligned to the Company’s strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder value
-
transparent, and
-
acceptable to shareholders.
The executive remuneration framework has three components:
-
base pay and benefits, including superannuation
-
short-term performance incentives, and
-
long-term incentives through participation in the Strike Resources Limited Employee Option Plan.
ANNUAL REPORT | 9
STRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Base Pay and Benefits
Executives receive their base pay and benefits structured as a total employment cost (TEC) package which may be delivered as a combination of cash and prescribed non-financial benefits at the executive’s discretion.
Executives are offered a competitive base pay that comprises the fixed component of pay and rewards. Independent remuneration consultants and/or reports provide analysis and advice to ensure base pay is set to reflect the market for a comparable role. Base pay for executives is also reviewed on promotion.
The Managing Director’s contract was amended during the financial year resulting in a reduction of base pay to $208,000 per annum effective 1 May 2015 and the termination notice period changed from 6 months to 1 month.
There are no guaranteed base pay increases included in the executives’ contracts.
Short-term Incentives
The Managing Director has the opportunity to earn an annual short-term incentive (STI) if predefined targets are achieved. The targets are reviewed annually.
There were no STI targets set by the Remuneration Committee for the Managing Director during 2015 financial year.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible for assessing whether the KPIs are met. To assist in this assessment, the Committee receives detailed reports on performance from management which are verified by industry surveys and, where deemed appropriate, independent remuneration consultants. The Committee will make recommendations to the Board to adjust short-term incentives downwards in light of unexpected or unintended circumstances. Other senior executives currently do not have any short term incentives such as cash bonuses included in their employment contracts. The executives’ performance is assessed on an annual basis and bonuses may be awarded on achievement of key performance objectives by recommendation of the Managing Director and at the discretion of the Board.
Long-term Incentives
Long-term incentives are provided to certain employees via the Strike Resources Limited Employee Option Plan which was approved by shareholders at the 6 November 2008 annual general meeting. The Employee Option Plan was subsequently amended on 8 November 2011.
The Strike Resources Limited Employee Option Plan is designed to provide long-term incentives for executives to deliver long-term shareholder returns. Under the plan, participants are granted options which are vested on issue. The Board has discretion to determine the exercise price and maturity date. Participation in the plan is at Board discretion and will often form part of an employment contract.
Director options were granted during the 2013 financial year which contributed to the Managing Director’s long-term incentives.
Share Trading Policy
The Company’s Share Trading Policy regulates all Directors’ and, employees’ of Strike Resources Limited and its subsidiaries, and certain contractors’, dealings in the Company’s securities. The Policy prohibits:
-
subscribing for, purchasing or selling Company securities or entering into an agreement to do any of those things; and
-
advising, procuring or encouraging another person (including a family member, friend, associate, colleague, family company or family trust) to trade in Company securities,
whilst in possession of market-sensitive information, prior to disclosure of that information to the market and thereafter until adequate time has elapsed for this to be reflected in the security’s price, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 . The Policy also prohibits communicating inside information to any other person when directors, employees of Strike Resources Limited and its subsidiaries, and certain contractors should reasonably know that they may deal in the Company’s securities or encourage another person to do so.
In order to further reduce the risk of inappropriate securities dealing, directors, employees of Strike Resources Limited and its subsidiaries, and certain contractors, must not deal in Company securities without the written consent of the “Trading Officers” nominated in the Company’s Share Trading Policy. Consent will not be given during certain “Prohibited Periods” before key reporting dates or while inside information exists.
Directors, employees of Strike Resources Limited and its subsidiaries, and certain contractors must inform the Company Secretary of all transactions they enter into involving the Company’s securities to enable disclosure to the market, where required.

No option holder has any right under the options to participate in any other share issue of the Company.
Insurance of Officer
The Directors have not included details of the nature of the liabilities covered or the amount of premiums paid in respect of a Directors’ and Officers’ liability and legal expenses insurance contract, as such disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract.
The Company has entered into deeds of indemnity with each director whereby, to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001, the Company agreed to indemnify each director against all loss and liability incurred as an officer of the Company, including all liability in defending any relevant proceedings.
Environmental Regulation
The Consolidated Entity notes the reporting requirements of both the Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act 2006 (“ EEOA ”) and the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (“ NGERA ”).
The Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act 2006 requires an affected company to assess its energy usage, including the identification, investigation and evaluation of energy saving opportunities, and to report publicly on the assessments undertaken, including what action the company intends to take as a result.
The Consolidated Entity has determined that it does not operate a recognised facility requiring registration and reporting under the NGERA and, in any event it would fall under the threshold of greenhouse gas emissions required for registration and reporting. Similarly, the Consolidated Entity’s energy consumption would fall under the threshold required for registration and reporting under the EEOA.
The Consolidated Entity is not otherwise subject to any particular or significant environmental regulation under either Commonwealth or State legislation. To the extent that any environmental regulations may have an incidental impact on the Consolidated Entity's operations, the Directors are not aware of any breach by the Consolidated Entity of those regulations.
Proceedings on Behalf of the Company
No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party, for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or part of those proceedings.
No proceedings have been brought or intervened in on behalf of the Company with leave of the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 .

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Strike Resources Limited and its subsidiaries.
a. Basis of Preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Strike Resources Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
i. Compliance with IFRS
The consolidated financial statements of Strike Resources Limited also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“ IFRS ”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
ii. New and amended standards adopted by the Consolidated Entity
The consolidated entity has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing 1 July 2014:
-
Interpretation 21 Accounting for Levies
-
AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets
-
AASB 2013-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting
-
AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australia Accounting Standards
The consolidated entity also elected to adopt the following standards early:
-
AASB2014-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Accounting for Acquisition of Interests in Joint Operations
-
AASB 2014-4 Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation
-
AASB 2014-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an investor and its Associate or Joint Venture
-
AASB 2015-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements to Australian Accounting Standards 2012-2014 Cycle
-
AASB 2015-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the withdrawal of AASB 1031 Materiality
-
AASB 2013-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Conceptual Framework, Materiality and Financial Instruments
None of the new Standards and amendments to Standards that are mandatory or early adopted for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2014 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current period or any prior period and are not likely to affect future periods. Additionally, they did not significantly affect the Group’s accounting policies or any of the disclosures.
iii. Early adoption of standards
The Consolidated Entity has not elected to apply any pronouncements before their operative date in the annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2014 apart from the early adoption of AASB 9 ‘Financial Instruments’.
iv. Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value though profit or loss, assets of disposal group held for sale and capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure.
v. Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Consolidated Entity’s accounting policies. The area involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or area where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3.
b. Principles of Consolidation
i. Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Strike Resources Limited (“ Company ” or “ Strike ”) as at 30 June 2015 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Strike Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as Consolidated Entity.
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Consolidated Entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Consolidated Entity. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the assets transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity, and Consolidated Statement of Financial Position respectively.
ii. Changes in ownership interests
The Consolidated Entity treats transactions with noncontrolling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Consolidated Entity. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and noncontrolling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of Strike Resources Limited.
When the Consolidated Entity ceases to have control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for retained interest as an associate. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in Other
ANNUAL REPORT | 20
STRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED
30 JUNE 2015
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Comprehensive Income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Consolidated Entity had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in Other Comprehensive Income are reclassified to profit or loss.
If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in Other Comprehensive Income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.
c. Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Managing Director. The Managing Director is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
d. Foreign Currency Translation
i. Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each company in the Consolidated Entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Strike Resources Limited’s functional and presentation currency.
hedges of such investments, are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.
e. Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
The Consolidated Entity recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. It is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Consolidated Entity’s activities as described below. The Consolidate Entity bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.
Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows:
ii. Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at the year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation. Foreign exchange gains or losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income on a net basis within other income or operating expenses.
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.
iii. Group companies
The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position
-
income and expenses for Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and
-
all resulting exchange differences are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as
i. Consultancy fees Revenue from consulting services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered.
ii. Sale of goods and disposal of assets
Revenue from the sale of goods and disposal of other assets is recognised when the Consolidated Entity has passed control and the risks and rewards of ownership of the goods/assets to the buyer.
iii. Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the Consolidated Entity reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans is recognised using the original effective interest rate.
iv. Dividends
Dividends are recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment is established. This applies even if they are paid out of pre-acquisition profits. However, the investment may need to be tested for impairment as a consequence, refer note 1(k).
v. Other revenues
Other revenues are recognised on a receipts basis.
f. Income Tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and for unused tax losses. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities, and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or directly in equity, respectively.
g. Leases
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Consolidated Entity as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
h. Impairment of Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which they are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
i. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the Consolidate Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily
convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
j. Trade Receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. They are presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the reporting date.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account (provision for impairment of trade receivables) is used when there is objective evidence that the Consolidated Entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.
The amount of impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectable in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in profit or loss.
k. Investments and Other Financial Assets Classification
The Consolidated Entity classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investment at initial recognition.
i. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are expected to be settled within 12 months; otherwise they are classified as non-current.
ii. Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting period which are classified as non-current assets.
Financial assets-reclassification
The Consolidated Entity may choose to reclassify nonderivative trading financial assets out of the held for trading category if the financial asset is no longer held for the purpose of selling it in the near term. Financial assets other than loans and receivables are permitted to be reclassified out of the held for trading category only in rare circumstances arising from a single event that is unusual and highly unlikely to recur in the near term. In addition, the

STRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED
30 JUNE 2015
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Consolidated Entity may choose to reclassify financial assets that would meet the definition of loans and receivables out of held for trading if the Consolidated Entity has the intention and ability to hold these financial assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity at the date of reclassification.
Reclassifications are made at fair value as of the reclassification date. Fair value becomes the new cost or amortised cost as applicable, and no reversals of fair value gains or losses recorded before reclassification date are subsequently made. Effective interest rates for financial assets reclassified to loans and receivables are determined at the reclassification date. Further increases in estimates of cash flows adjust effective interest rates prospectively.
Recognition and de-recognition
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date - the date on which the Consolidated Entity commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Consolidated Entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Measurement
At initial recognition, the Consolidated Entity measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in the profit or loss.
Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the “financial asset at fair value through profit or loss” category are presented in profit or loss within Other Comprehensive Income or Other Operating Expenses in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as part of revenue from continuing operations when the Consolidated Entity’s right to receive payments is established. Interest income from these financial assets is included in the net gains/(losses).
Details on how the fair value of financial instruments is determined are disclosed in note 2.
Impairment
The Consolidated Entity assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset (or a group of financial assets) is impaired and the impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
l. Property, Plant and Equipment
All items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Consolidated Entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or re-valued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements, the shorter lease term as follows:
| r re-valued amounts, net of estimated useful lives or, vements, the shorter lease |
their residual values, ove in the case of leasehol term as follows: |
|---|---|
| Computer equipment | 33.33% to 66.67% |
| Plant & equipment | 12.5% |
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount note 1(n).
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss.
m. Mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is initially capitalised in respect of each identifiable area of interest where the Consolidated Entity has right of tenure. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economicallyrecoverable reserves. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.
Under AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources , if facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of any recognised exploration and evaluation assets may be impaired, the Consolidated Entity must perform impairment tests on those assets and measure any impairment in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets . Any impairment loss is to be recognised as an expense. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.
n. Trade and Other Payables
(i) Financial Assets carried at amortised cost
For loans and receivables, the amount of loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in the profit or loss.
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Consolidated Entity prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
o. Employee Benefits
i. Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liability for annual leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables.
ii. Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The liability for long service leave and annual leave which is not expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period on corporate bond rate with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
iii. Share-based payments
Shared-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Strike Resources Limited Employee Option Plan. Information on these schemes is set out in note 25.
p. Employee Benefits (continued)
The fair value of options granted under Strike Resources Limited Employee Option Plan is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, which includes any market performance conditions and the impact of any non-vesting conditions but excludes the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions.
r. Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.
-
s. Earnings per Share
-
i. Basic earnings per share
-
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
-
the profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares.
-
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.
ii. Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
-
the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and
-
the weighted average number of additional shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
-
t. Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) (including Value Added Tax – “VAT”)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of any associated GST (VAT), unless the GST (VAT) incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST (VAT) receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST (VAT) components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
q. Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

v. Parent Entity Financial Information
The financial information for the parent entity, Strike Resources Limited, disclosed in Note 26 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements.
2. Financial Risk Management
Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
The Consolidated Entity's financial instruments mainly consist of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and payable. The main risks arising from the Consolidated Entity's financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, credit risk, equity price risk and liquidity risk.
The Board of Directors’ is responsible for the overall internal control framework (which includes risk management) but no cost-effective internal control system will preclude all errors and irregularities. The system is based, in part, on the appointment of suitably-qualified management personnel in conjunction with a range of policies and procedures, which incorporate monitoring and reporting mechanisms, to assist in the management of the various risks to which the business is exposed. The effectiveness of the system is continually reviewed by management and at least annually by the Board.
The Consolidated Entity holds the following instruments.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
a. Market Risk
i. Foreign Exchange Risk
The Consolidated Entity operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar, Peruvian Nuevo Soles and Canadian dollar.
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.
The Consolidated Entity has a policy of not hedging foreign exchange risk and therefore has not entered into any hedging against movements in foreign currencies against the Australian dollar, including forward exchange contracts, as at the reporting date and is currently fully exposed to foreign exchange risk.
i. Foreign Exchange Risk
The Consolidated Entity's exposure to foreign exchange risk expressed in Australian dollar at the reporting date was as follows:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Consolidated Entity has performed a sensitivity analysis on its exposure to interest rate risk at the reporting date. The management assessment is based upon an analysis of current and future market conditions, in particular comments from the Reserve Bank of Australia on the likely movement of interest rates. The analysis demonstrates the potential effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in these risks.

b. Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty under a financial instrument will default (in whole or in part) on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Consolidated Entity. Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by undertaking appropriate due diligence on potential investments, carrying out all market transactions through approved brokers, settling non-market transactions with the involvement of suitably qualified legal and accounting personnel (both internal and external), and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security (where appropriate) as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.
Pursuant to the Cuervo Investment Agreement, the Company holds a pledge over the shares of Minera Cuervo S.A.C., which pledge is exercisable if Cuervo defaults under the Investment Agreement.
The credit quality of the financial assets are neither past due nor impaired and can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available with Standard & Poor's) or to historical information about counterparty default rates:
| Cash and cash equivalents AA A+ No external credit rating available Receivables and loans AA A+ No external credit rating available |
2015 | 2014 |
|---|---|---|
| $ 8,270,800 - 103,406 8,374,206 - - - 8,374,206 |

|
| 10,350,983 58,215 3,116 12,997 |
||
| 10,425,311 |
The Consolidated Entity measures credit risk on a fair-value basis. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any provision for losses, represents the Consolidated Entity’s maximum exposure to credit risk. All receivables noted above, except interest on term deposits, are due within 30 days. None of the above receivables are past due.
c. Liquidity Risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities to meet obligations when due and to close out the market positions. At the end of the reporting period the Consolidated Entity held deposits of $8,075,000 (2014: $9,850,000) that mature within the next 3 months after 30 June 2015 that are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk.

d. Net Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

ANNUAL REPORT | 27
STRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED
30 JUNE 2015
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
e. Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Consolidated Entity is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. Techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments.
The fair value of financial instruments must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.
AASB 7 Financial Instruments : Disclosures requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
-
(a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1);
-
(b) inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2); and
-
(c) inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).
3. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
a. Impairment of Capitalised Exploration and Evaluation expenditure
The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including the Consolidated Entity’s ability to develop the relevant area of interest itself or, if not, whether it can successfully recover the capitalised exploration and evaluation asset through sale.
Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the grade and quantity of mineral resources, future technological changes which impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations), changes to commodity prices, right of tenure and community approvals or access.
b. SUNAT tax
In June 2014, The Peruvian Tax Administration (“SUNAT”) completed an audit on Apurimac Ferrum S.A (“AF”) relating to Non Resident Income Tax Withholding for the fiscal years 2010 and 2011.
The SUNAT notified AF a set of Resolutions that determine a debt for Non Domiciled Income Tax Withholding and Fine Resolutions as a result of the Audit process.
AF has obtained independent advice in respect to the SUNAT findings identifying that the Company has strong arguments in its defence. As a result, AF has officially lodged a claim against the SUNAT findings.
In April 2015, AF received resolutions from SUNAT which have predominantly ruled in favour of a claim made by AF. As a result, AF was able to reverse A$1.1 million of its A$1.7 million accrual that is has previously recognised for SUNAT withholding taxes.
SUNAT has requested its audit area to complete a re-audit on several of initial findings believing that insufficient evidence was compiled to support its position. AF plans to appeal this matter to the Tax Administrative Court but will continue to recognise an accrual of A$610,878 for the resolutions subject to further investigation until the dispute is completely resolved.

On December 11, 2013 Strike announced it had issued a demand notice for C$5,250,000 plus applicable interest to Cuervo in respect of the Investment Agreement between the two companies, relating to the financing of the Cerro Ccopane project. The demand notice was issued following Strike's concerns regarding the solvency of Cuervo and events of default occurring under the current agreements between the companies. Strike also issued a notice of its intention to enforce its security held over 90% of the shares of the Peruvian company holding the key assets of the project, if the full amount owed to Strike was not paid by December 16, 2013. To date no further action has been undertaken.
Strike is aware that all of the Canadian directors of Cuervo have resigned and the company has been delisted from the Canadian Securities Exchange. Strike is examining its options to recover value as a secured creditor of Cuervo. In this regard, Strike has been advised that the legal and court costs of actively pursuing its claims in Canada and Peru could be considerable. In light of this and the fact that the recoverable value of the Cuervo assets in Peru is questionable under current market conditions, Strike is considering whether to actively pursue its claims.

On 14 April 2014, following a strategic review the Company decided to close its office and operations in Peru. Since determining to suspend its operations in Peru, the Company is actively looking to dispose of its assets in Peru.
During the financial year, the Company impaired all property, plant and equipment which was unable to be sold. The Company continues to hold 886ha block of land in Cusco. An independent valuation of the land determined that the current market in the mining sector limits any probability of value realisation. As such, the directors have impaired the land held to a value of nil.

US$30 million after 4 years from 20 December 2012 but before the Construction Milestone occurs or the 15th anniversary of the agreement (whichever is sooner).
Due to the inherent uncertainty surrounding the achievement and timing of the above milestones, as at 30 June the Company treated the deferred consideration as a contingent liability.
e. Millenium legal dispute
Strike is the defendant to a number of legal disputes that have been initiated by the original vendor and/or related parties to the vendor of the Apurimac Project. A number of these disputes have already either passed through arbitration or the judicial system in Peru and been awarded in favour of Strike. However, the vendor and/or related parties to the vendor continue to pursue a number of legal avenues (including appeals on previous decisions) in order to frustrate Strike and potentially regain ownership or the Apurimac and Cusco Projects.
Strike does not consider any of the legal actions brought by the vendor and/or related parties to the vendor to have any reasonable basis for success and will continue to defend all claims raised against it.
19. Commitments
b. Lease Commitments
The Company has no lease commitments as at 30 June 2015.
c. Mineral Tenement/Concession/Mining Rights - Commitments for Expenditure
Australian tenements
In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements, the holders of Australian mineral tenements are required to outlay lease rentals and meet minimum expenditure commitments. The Company does not currently have any material commitments for expenditure relating to Australian tenements.
Peruvian concessions
The Consolidated Entity is required to pay annual licence fees by 30 June of each year, at rates which vary on an amount per-hectare basis. The total amount of this commitment will depend upon the area of concessions relinquished (if any) and the area of new concessions granted (if any) and therefore cannot be reliably estimated. As a result of finalising the arbitration process with the shareholders of Apurimac Ferrum S.A.(“ AF ”), the Consolidated Entity granted on option over Peruvian tenements held by its subsidiary, Strike Resources Peru S.A.C. Under the terms of the AF Settlement Agreement AF is obliged to make all necessary payments to keep the concessions in good standing. Financial commitments for subsequent periods are contingent upon the continuity of the agreement with AF, future exploration and evaluation results, and as such cannot be reliably estimated.
A number of non-core mineral concessions in Peru were allowed to lapse on 30 June 2015, significantly reducing the Company’s annual expenditure in Peru. The Company continues to hold 14 core concessions in Peru which contain its JORC Resources of iron ore in Apurimac and Cusco, as well as some neighbouring concessions which have strategic value associated with the projects.
Australian heritage protection agreements
These agreements facilitate the preservation of Aboriginal heritage through the protection of Aboriginal sites and objects upon the grant of mining tenements in Western Australia. The Heritage Protection Agreements require the Consolidated Entity to conduct Aboriginal heritage surveys prior to conducting exploration that is not low-impact in nature and detail procedures to be followed if an Aboriginal site is identified.
Agreements with Peruvian landowners and community groups
The Company notes that holding a mineral concession in Peru does not grant automatic access to the surface land. Notwithstanding an easement procedure is contemplated in Peruvian law, in practice, mining companies have to negotiate and enter into private agreements with landowners/community groups in order to have access to their land for the purposes of conducting mining activities (exploration, evaluation, development and mining). Multiple landowners/community groups are affected by the Consolidated Entity’s proposed mining activities on a majority of the Consolidated Entity's Peruvian concessions. To date, approvals have been sought and obtained for drilling on a programme by programme basis.
Obtaining approvals from landowners/community groups can be a complicated and lengthy process. The Consolidated Entity will have to commit funds to community groups and/or landowners to secure land access agreements to develop its Peruvian projects. There can be no guarantees that such approvals will be obtained, or as to the terms upon which they will be obtained. At this stage it is not possible to quantify the potential financial obligation of the Consolidated Entity in this regard.

22. Events Occurring after the Reporting Period
On 2 July 2015 the Company announced that a Takeover Response Committee of the Company’s independent directors, being the Chairman, Mr Malcolm Richmond, Ms Samantha Tough and Mr Matthew Hammond had been established to respond to the takeover bid offer made by Bentley Capital Limited as announced on 30 June 2015 (the “Offer”). The Company also announced that following completion of the Offer (irrespective of the outcome of the Offer), Ms Samantha Tough intended to resign from the Company Board to focus on her other non-executive director roles.
In July 2015, Bentley Capital Limited lodged its Bidder’s Statement relating to the Offer with ASIC and dispatched the same to Strike’s shareholders.
In August 2015, the Company lodged its Target’s Statement in response to the Offer.
The Bid closed on 2 September 2015 and a total of 52,553,493 shares representing 36.16% of the Company’s issued capital were acquired by Bentley during the bid. Bentley as a consequence is now the Company’s largest shareholder.
The Takeover Response Committee has incurred a total cost of approximately $300,000 - $350,000 in relation to the Company’s response to the Offer.
There have been no further changes of significance since then.

ANNUAL MINERAL RESOURCES STATEMENT
The following JORC Code compliant (2004 and 2012) Mineral Resources estimates are as at the end of the financial year (30 June 2015) and currently:

The information in this JORC Resource table was prepared and first disclosed under the 2004 JORC Code (in Strike’s ASX announcement dated 11 February 2010: Peruvian Apurimac Iron Ore Project Resource Increased to 269 Million Tonnes ) and has subsequently been upgraded to comply with the 2012 JORC Code and disclosed in Strike’s ASX Announcement dated 19 January 2015: Apurimac Mineral Resources Updated to JORC 2012 Standard.
Cusco Iron Ore Project (Peru)
(Strike – 100%)
The Cusco Project has a JORC Code (2004 Edition) compliant Mineral Resource of 104.4 Mt Inferred Mineral Resource at 32.62% Fe.
| Category | **Concession ** | Density t/m3 | *Mt ** | Fe% | SiO2% | Al2O3% | P% | S% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inferred | SantoTomas | 4 | 104.4 | 32.62 | 0.53 | 3.19 | 0.035 | 0.53 |
The information in this JORC Resource table was prepared and first disclosed under the 2004 JORC Code (in Strike’s ASX announcement dated 17 June 2011: Cusco Project – Resource Estimate). It has not been updated since to comply with the 2012 JORC Code on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported.
Compliance
-
The Mineral Resources estimates (above) have not changed since reported in last year’s Annual Report.
-
The Mineral Resources estimates (above) is based on, and fairly represents, information and supporting documentation prepared by a Competent Person (recognised under the JORC Code).
-
The Annual Mineral Resources Statement as a whole has been approved by the Competent Person named in the JORC Code Competent Person’s Statements section of this Annual Report (at page 46) where further information concerning his qualifications and professional membership is also disclosed.
-
Due to the nature, stage and size of the Company’s existing operations, Strike believes there would be no efficiencies gained by establishing a separate Mineral Reserves/Resources Committee responsible for reviewing and monitoring the Company’s processes for calculating JORC Code compliant Mineral Reserves/Resources. The Board as a whole has responsibility in this regard (with assistance from external advisers as appropriate) including ensuring that appropriate internal controls are applied to such calculations.
-
The Company ensures that any Mineral Reserve/Resource calculations are prepared by Competent Persons and where appropriate, reviewed independently and verified (including estimation methodology, sampling, analytical and test data).
-
The Company will report any future Mineral Reserves/Resources estimates in accordance with the 2012 JORC Code.
