REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Paulsens-East Iron Ore Project (Western Australia)

The Paulsens East Iron Ore Project is located approximately 140 kilometres west of Tom Price, 8 kilometres from the Paulsens Gold Mine, ~233 kilometres by road (of which ~210 kilometres is good quality paved road) from the Port of Onslow and ~590 kilometres by road from Port Hedland. Paulsens East consists of hematite iron ore mineralisation occurring as a ridge rising to approximately 60 metres above the valley floor and extending for approximately 3,000 metres West to East.

With an increase in iron ore prices, in June 2019, Strike recommenced previous work (conducted between 2006 – 2008) to examine the potential for undertaking a Direct Shipping Ore ( DSO ) mining operation using contract mining, crushing and transportation by truck to port then ship to China.[1]

On 18 July 2019, Strike reported a significant Maiden JORC Inferred Mineral Resource for Paulsens East.[2]

On 4 September 2019, Strike reported a significant upgrade of the Paulsens East resource from an Inferred to an Indicated JORC Mineral Resource category.[3]

On 28 November 2019, Strike released the results of a Scoping Study based upon ore being trucked from the mine to Onslow predominantly by sealed road, where it will be stockpiled prior to being loaded directly from the wharf at Beadon Creek for transhipment into ocean going vessels for export to customers.[4]

On 9 April 2020, Strike released the results of a Revised Scoping Study based upon the Utah Point MultiUser Bulk Handling facility ( Utah Point ) in Port Hedland as the export port.[5]

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Solaroz Lithium Project (Argentina)

Strike holds a 90% interest in the highly prospective Solaroz Lithium Brine Project ( Solaroz ) within South America’s ‘Lithium Triangle’ in North-West Argentina.[8]

Solaroz comprises 8 exploitation concessions totalling 12,000 hectares located in Jujuy Province in northern Argentina and is located in the same Salar de Olaroz Basin as the producing Salar de Olaroz Lithium Brine Project operated by Orocobre Limited (ASX:ORE) (and its JV partner, Tokyo Stock Exchange listed Toyota Tsusho Corporation (TYO:8015)) and concessions held by Lithium Americas Corporation (TSX:LAC).

In July 2019, Strike completed the preparation of an Environmental Impact Assessment ( EIA ) Report for exploration work at Solaroz.[9] The EIA Report includes results from collecting and monitoring baseline environmental data and a detailed proposed fieldwork programme covering 2 years of proposed exploration activity. Following a period of consultation with local community groups, the EIA Report was submitted to the Jujuy Mining Authority (the provincial authority responsible for approving exploration and mining activities at Solaroz) for review.

Strike understands that the review and approval of its EIA Report by the Jujuy Mining Authority has been delayed by COVID-19 pandemic related issues in Argentina. The Argentine authorities have also restricted the ability of mining companies to undertake exploration activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Both of these matters will impact upon Strike advancing this project in the short-term.

The terms of acquisition are also summarised in Note 22(g) (Contingencies - Deferred Payments Relating to Acquisition of Solaroz Lithium Project (Argentina)) of the accompany financial statements.

For further details, please refer to Strike’s announcements on the Solaroz Lithium Brine Project:

  • 19 July 2019: Completion of Environmental Impact Assessment Report for Solaroz Lithium Project, Argentina

  • 17 April 2019: Strike Commences Solaroz Lithium Brine Project Work Programme in Argentina

  • 13 March 2019: Strike Secures Solaroz Lithium Brine Project in Argentina’s Lithium Triangle, a copy of which is attached to this Half Year Report

Apurimac Iron Ore Project (Peru)

Strike’s Apurimac Iron Ore Project in Peru is recognised as one of the highest grade, large scale magnetite projects in the world with the potential to support the establishment of a significant iron ore operation.[10] Over A$50 million has been invested by Strike since 2005 on acquisition, exploration, study and operational costs relating to its Peru assets, including a Pre-Feasibility Study completed in 2008[11] and updated in 2010[12] on the Apurimac Project.

The Ministry of Transport and Communications in Peru ( MOTC ) has awarded a tender to an international consortium of engineering companies (Consorcio Ferrocarril Del Sur, the Southern Railway Consortium )[13 ] to complete a study on the construction of a multi-user railway from the inland city of Andahuaylas in southern Peru, to the mineral export Port of San Juan de Marcona on the west coast of Peru (the Andahuaylas Railway ).[14]

STRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED A.B.N. 94 088 488 724

30 JUNE 2020

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Strike’s Apurimac Project is located only 20km from the city of Andahuaylas. The proposed Andahuaylas Railway (approximately 570km in length) would provide a direct link from Strike’s Project to an established mineral export port, significantly improving the Apurimac Project’s development prospects.

In April 2019, Strike executed a Cooperation and Confidentiality Agreement with the Southern Railway Consortium to share its own railway study[12] , provide input and advice and otherwise cooperate with the consortium in whatever way it can to expedite the completion of its feasibility study.[15]

In August 2019, Strike’s Managing Director attended a review meeting in Peru with representatives from the Southern Railway Consortium and other major mining companies operating in or close to the Apurimac region. At this meeting it was confirmed that the consortium had selected the preferred route for the Andahuaylas Railway, which aligns with the route previously identified by Strike in its own studies.[16]

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Strike understands that the Southern Railway Consortium’s Andahuaylas Railway Study will be delayed beyond its original published timetable (of mid-2020). In addition, Strike notes that the Peruvian Government has also restricted the ability of mining companies to undertake exploration activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Strike believes this will have an impact on any advancement of this project in the short-term.

Burke Graphite Project (Queensland)

Strike’s Burke Graphite Project[17] (in which Strike holds a ~70% interest[18] ) is located in the Cloncurry region in North Central Queensland, where there is access to well-developed transport infrastructure to an airport at Mt Isa (~122km) and a port in Townsville (~783km).

In November 2017, Strike defined a maiden Inferred Mineral Resource estimate for the Burke Project with the grades placing the Burke deposit as one of the highest-grade deposits of graphite in the world held by an Australian listed company.[19]

In June 2018, Strike announced the completion of a ground Electro Magnetic ( EM ) survey covering the southeastern corner of Burke tenement EPM 25443 (North) (drilled by Strike in 2017[20] ) and the Corella tenement EPM 25696 (South) (located ~20 km south of EPM 25443), which identified the Corella Prospect as a significant target area for additional high grade mineralisation as well as identifying new zones of increased conductivity adjacent to previously drilled graphite mineralisation at the Burke Prospect.[21]

No material activity was undertaken on this project during the financial year - the COVID-19 pandemic will have an impact on any advancement of this project in the short-term.

For further details, please refer to Strike’s announcements on the Burke Graphite Project:

  • 26 June 2018: Burke Graphite Project – New Target Area Identified From Ground Electro-Magnetic Surveys

  • 13 November 2017: Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate Confirms Burke Project as One of the World’s Highest Grade Natural Graphite Deposits

  • 16 October 2017: Test-work confirms the potential suitability of Burke graphite for Lithium-ion battery usage and Graphene production

17 Refer Strike’s ASX Announcement dated 9 November 2016: Strike Secures Graphite Project in Queensland

18 In July 2017, Strike completed its earn-in obligations to acquire a 60% interest in the Burke Graphite Project tenements. All subsequent expenditure on the project are shared in proportion to the owners’ interests (with an industry standard dilution to apply if a party elects not to contribute their share).

SECURITIES ON ISSUE

The Company has 207,134,268 fully paid ordinary shares on issue as at 30 June 2020 and currently (30 June 2019: 145,334,268). All such shares are listed on ASX. The Company has no other securities on issue.

CAPITAL RAISINGS

On 18 July 2019, the Company raised $0.981 million through a placement of 21,800,000 shares at 4.5 cents per share to professional and sophisticated investors.[22] This issue was ratified and approved by shareholders at a general meeting[23] held on 6 September 2019[24] .

On 5 June 2020, the Company raised $1.8 million through a placement of 40,000,000 shares at 4.5 cents per share to professional and sophisticated investors.[25] This issue was ratified and approved by shareholders at a general meeting[26] held on 2 September 2020[27] , thus refreshing the Company’s 15% placement capacity under the ASX Listing Rules.

The funds raised from these placements (net of expenses associated with their issue) are being applied towards the costs of advancement of exploration, evaluation and development of the Company’s Paulsens East Iron Ore Project and other resource projects and for general working capital purposes.

At the 2 September 2020 General Meeting, shareholders also approved a resolution giving the Directors the flexibility and timeliness to issue up to 60 million new shares to wholesale (ie. sophisticated or professional) investors (subject to a minimum price[28] ) during a 3 month period after the date of the General Meeting, without using up the Company’s 15% placement capacity and without the need to seek prior shareholder approval.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Any share issue (and the issue price related thereto) will be determined by the Directors at their absolute discretion at the relevant time.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

The Directors note that the COVID-19 pandemic has had an effect on the Consolidated Entity’s operations, particularly in Argentina (impacting the Solaroz Lithium-Brine Project) and Peru (impacting the Apurimac Magnetite Iron Ore Project and Cusco Magnetite Iron Ore Project) with a lesser effect in Queensland (impacting the Burke Graphite Project), including but not limited to the consequences of Government imposed (international and national/local) travel restrictions and lockdowns/shutdowns. There have been no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Consolidated Entity save as otherwise disclosed in this Directors’ Report or the financial statements and notes thereto.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

The Consolidated Entity will continue to:

  • advance the evaluation and development of its Paulsens East Iron Ore Project in Western Australia;

  • advance the exploration and evaluation of its Solaroz Lithium-Brine Project in Argentina;

  • advance its other resource projects through exploration, evaluation and development (as appropriate, as the case may be); and

  • potentially investigate and pursue other prospective projects in the resources sector.

The likely outcomes of these activities depend on a range of technical and economic factors and also industry, geographic and other strategy specific issues (including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic). In the opinion of the Directors, it is not possible or appropriate to make a prediction on the results of these activities, the future course of markets or the forecast of the likely results of the Consolidated Entity’s activities.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

The Consolidated Entity holds mineral tenements/concession licences issued by the relevant mining and environmental protection authorities of the various countries in which it operates (from time to time). In the course of its mineral exploration, evaluation and development activities, the Consolidated Entity adheres to licence conditions and environmental regulations imposed upon it by various authorities (as applicable). The Consolidated Entity has complied with all licence conditions and environmental requirements (as applicable) during the financial year and up to the date of this report. There have been no known material breaches of the Consolidated Entity’s licence conditions and environmental regulations during the financial year and up to the date of this report.

Post-Employment Benefits: The Company does not presently provide retirement benefits to Key Management Personnel. The Company notes that shareholder approval is required where a Company proposes to make a “termination payment” (for example, a payment in lieu of notice, a payment for a post-employment restraint and payments made as a result of the automatic or accelerated vesting of share based payments) in excess of one year’s “base salary” (defined as the average base salary over the previous 3 years) to a director or any person who holds a managerial or executive office.

Performance-Related Benefits and Financial Performance of Company: Save for any applicable STI(s) in place for the Managing Director or any applicable equity-benefits that may be provided to Key Management Personnel, the current remuneration of Key Management Personnel is fixed, is not dependent on the satisfaction of a performance condition and is unrelated to the Company’s performance.

In considering the Company's performance and its effects on shareholder wealth, Directors have had regard to the data set out below for the latest financial year and the previous four financial years.

30 JUNE 2020

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the financial year ended 30 June 2020

Reporting Basis and Financial Statement Presentation

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

1.3 Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of the Company as at 30 June 2020 and the results of its subsidiaries for the year then ended. The Company and its subsidiaries are referred to in this financial report as Strike or the Consolidated Entity.

All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the Consolidated Entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation.

1.4 Comparative Figures

Where required by the Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial period .

1.7 Leases

At the lease commencement, the Consolidated Entity recognises a right-of-use asset and associated lease liability for the lease term. The lease term includes extension periods where the Consolidated Entity believes it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.

The right-of-use asset is measured using the cost model where cost on initial recognition comprises of the lease liability, initial direct costs, prepaid lease payments, estimated cost of removal and restoration less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the lease term on a straight-line basis and assessed for impairment in accordance with the impairment of assets accounting policy.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement of the lease. The discount rate is the rate implicit in the lease, however where this cannot be readily determined then the Consolidated Entity’s incremental borrowing rate is used.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The lease liability is remeasured whether there is a lease modification, change in estimate of the lease term or index upon which the lease payments are based (e.g. CPI) or a change in the Consolidated Entity’s assessment of lease term.

1.5 Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

1.6 Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the Consolidated Entity reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the profit or loss. Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Consolidated Entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs

Where the lease liability is remeasured, the right-of-use asset is adjusted to reflect the remeasurement or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

Exceptions to lease accounting

The Consolidated Entity has elected to apply the exceptions to lease accounting for both short-term leases (i.e. leases with a term of less than or equal to 12 months) and leases of low-value assets. The Consolidated Entity recognises the payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

1.8 New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The Consolidated Entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not mandatory have not been early adopted. These are not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Entity’s financial statements.

Accounting policy

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.

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The 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 and has considered the business and geographical perspectives of the operating results and determined that the Consolidated Entity operates only in Australia, Peru and Argentina.

13,010,975 12,516,924

Critical accounting judgement and estimate

Deferred tax assets have not been recognised as, in the Directors' opinion, it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Consolidated Entity can utilise the benefits. The utilisation of revenue and capital tax losses are subject to compliance with taxation legislation.

Accounting policy

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.

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.

30 JUNE 2020

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2020

5. INCOME TAX EXPENSE (continued)

Accounting policy (continued)

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.

6. LOSS PER SHARE 2020 2019

Basic and diluted loss per share (0.83) (1.22)
The following represents the loss and weighted average number of shares used

Shares Shares
Weighted average number of ordinary shares 169,072,520 145,334,268

Accounting policy

Basic earnings/loss per share is determined by dividing the operating result after income tax by the weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue during the financial period.

Diluted earnings/loss per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings/loss per share by taking into account amounts unpaid on ordinary shares and any reduction in earnings/loss per share that will probably arise from the exercise of options outstanding during the financial period.

Accounting policy

Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit and loss acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management and within the requirements of AASB 9 (Financial Instruments) will recognise its realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of these assets in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the period in which they arise.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date which is the current bid price.

The Consolidated Entity's financial instruments consist of deposits with banks, receivables and payables. The Consolidated Entity's financial instruments are subject to market (which includes interest rate and foreign exchange risk), credit and liquidity risks.

The Board is responsible for the overall internal control framework (which includes risk management) but no costeffective internal control system will preclude all errors and irregularities. The system is based, in part, on the appointment of suitably qualified management personnel. The effectiveness of the system is continually reviewed by management and at least annually by the Board.

The financial receivables and payables of the Consolidated Entity in the table below are due or payable within 30 days. The Consolidated Entity holds the following financial assets and liabilities:

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value and/or future cash flows from a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market factors. Market risk comprises of price risk from fluctuations in the fair value of equities, foreign exchange risk from fluctuations in foreign currencies and interest rate risk from fluctuations in market interest rates.

(i) Price risk

The Consolidated Entity is exposed to equity securities price risk. This arises from investments held by the Consolidated Entity and classified in the Statement of Financial Position at fair value through profit or loss. The Consolidated Entity is exposed to commodity price risk in respect of its investments indirectly via market risk and equity securities price risk.

The value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual instrument, its issuer or factors affecting all instruments in the market. The Consolidated Entity will be subject to market risk to the extent that it invests its capital in securities that are not risk free. This is reflected in the market price of these securities which can and will fluctuate. The Consolidated Entity does not manage this risk through entering into derivative contracts, futures, options or swaps.

Equity price risk is minimised through ensuring that investment activities are undertaken in accordance with Board established mandate limits and investment strategies.

The Consolidated Entity has performed a sensitivity analysis on its exposure to equity securities price risk for listed and unlisted financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in these risks. The ASX/S&P 200 Accumulation Index was utilised as the benchmark for the investment portfolio.

Decrease 5% (8,204) (67,034) (8,204) (67,034)

(ii) 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 and Peruvian Nuevo Soles.

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Consolidated 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.

The Consolidated Entity's exposure to foreign exchange risk expressed in US dollars at the reporting date are as follows:

The Consolidated Entity has performed a sensitivity analysis on its exposure to exchange risk. The management assessment is based upon an analysis of current and future market position. The analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity when the Australian dollar strengthened or weakened by 10% against the foreign currencies detailed above.

(iii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Consolidated Entity's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relate primarily to investments held in interest bearing instruments. The weighted average interest rate of the cash at bank for the year for the table below is 0.35% (2019: 1.93%).

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Consolidated Entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Consolidated Entity has no borrowings. The Consolidated Entity's non-cash investments can be realised to meet trade and other payables arising in the normal course of business. The financial liabilities disclosed in the above table have a maturity obligation of not more than 30 days.

(c) 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. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by the management carrying out all market transactions through recognised and creditworthy brokers and the monitoring of receivable balances. The Consolidated Entity's business activities do not necessitate the requirement for collateral as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.

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. The maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets as summarised below:

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value hierarchy

AASB 13 (Fair Value Measurement) requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

  • (i) Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • (ii) Level 2: 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); and

  • (iii) Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

There have been no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the financial year.

(a) Valuation techniques

The fair value of the listed securities traded in active markets is based on closing bid prices at the end of the reporting period. These investments are included in Level 1.

The fair value of any assets that are not traded in an active market are determined using certain valuation techniques. The valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available, or independent valuation 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.

11. RECEIVABLES (continued)

Risk exposure

The Consolidated Entity’s exposure to credit and interest rate risks is discussed in Note 9.

Accounting policy

AASB 9 (Financial Instruments) introduces a new expected credit loss (ECL) impairment model that requires the Consolidated Entity to adopt an ECL position across the Consolidated Entity’s financial assets at 1 July 2018. The Consolidated Entity’s receivables balance comprises deposits, GST refunds from the Australian Tax Office and distributions from managed trusts.

At each reporting date, the Consolidated Entity reviews the carrying value of its financial assets based on the ECL model under AASB 9, which proposes three approaches in assessing impairment:

(i) the simplified approach (which will be applied to most trade receivables) which requires the recognition of lifetime ECLs by considering forward-looking assumptions and information regarding expected future conditions affecting historical customer default rates;

(ii) the general approach (which will be applied to most loans and debt securities) whereby ECL is recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Consolidated Entity will provide for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12 months. For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance will arise for credit losses expected over the remaining life of exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default; and

(iii) For purchased or originated credit-impaired receivables, the fair value at initial recognition already takes into account lifetime expected losses. At each reporting date, the Consolidated Entity updates its estimated cash flows and adjusts the loss allowance accordingly.

The loss allowances for financial assets are based on the assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Consolidated Entity uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Consolidated Entity’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. The Consolidated Entity has not recognised any additional impairment to its current receivables or non-current receivables as a result of the application of AASB 9. This is due to the fact that the Consolidated Entity does not consider that there are any further ECL to the current carrying values of its current receivables or its non-current receivables.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The Consolidated Entity has assessed the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation in accordance with AASB 6 (Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources). The ultimate recoverability of deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on the successful development or sale of the relevant area of interest.

30 JUNE 2020

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2020

12. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION EXPENDITURE (continued)

Accounting policy

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 economically-recoverable 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.

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.

15. RESERVE

(a) Share-based payments reserve

The share-based payments reserve records the consideration (net of expenses) received by the Company on the issue of options. In relation to options issued to Directors and employees for nil consideration, the fair values of these options are included in the share-based payments reserve.

(b) Foreign currency translation reserve

Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign controlled entities are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve as described in the accounting policy note below and accumulate in a separate reserve within equity. The cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss when the net investment is disposed of.

Accounting policy

Foreign currency translation reserve

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:

  • (i) 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;

  • (ii) 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

(iii) 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 hedges of such investments, are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income.

16. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company's objectives when managing its capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain a capital structure balancing the interests of all shareholders.

The Board will consider capital management initiatives as is appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and shareholders from time to time, including undertaking capital raisings, share buy-backs, capital reductions and selling assets to reduce debt.

The Consolidated Entity has no external borrowings.

18. INVESTMENT IN CONTROLLED ENTITIES (continued)

Accounting policy

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Consolidated Entity has control. The Consolidated Entity 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.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Consolidated Entity.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions in the Consolidated Entity 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 Consolidated Entity.

19. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

21. COMMITMENTS

(a) Lease Commitments

On 28 February 2020 the Consolidated Entity entered into a non-cancellable operating lease agreement for (shared) office premises. The lease is for a period of 37 months term expiring on 31 March 2023. The Consolidated Entity may give notice to terminate the lease (without penalty) prior to the second anniversary date. The office accommodation is shared with other companies, who have agreed to share payment of the lease costs (including outgoings).

Exceptions to lease accounting

The Consolidated Entity has elected to apply the exceptions to lease accounting for both short-term leases (i.e. leases with a term of less than or equal to 12 months) and leases of low-value assets. The Consolidated Entity recognises the payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(b) Mining Tenements/Concessions – Annual Fees and Expenditure Commitments

(i) Australian Tenements

The Consolidated Entity is required to pay annual lease rentals to the State Government and meet minimum annual expenditure commitments (subject to successful applications for exemption in relation thereto) in order to maintain rights of tenure over its granted Australian mining tenements. The total amount of these commitments will depend upon the number and area of granted mining tenements held/retained and whether and to what extent the Consolidated Entity has been successful in obtaining exemption(s) from meeting annual expenditure commitments.

(ii) Peruvian Mineral Concessions

The Consolidated Entity is required to pay annual licence fees to the Peruvian Government in respect of its granted Peruvian mineral concessions. The total amount of this commitment will depend upon the number and area of concessions held/retained and the length of time of each concession held.

22. CONTINGENCIES

(a) Directors' Deeds

The Consolidated Entity has entered into deeds of indemnity with Strike Resources Limited Directors, indemnifying them against liability incurred in discharging their duties as Directors/officers of the Consolidated Entity. As at the reporting date, no claims have been made under any such indemnities and, accordingly, it is not possible to quantify the potential financial obligation of the Consolidated Entity under these indemnities.

(b) Paulsens East Tenement - Royalty

The Consolidated Entity has a liability to pay Orion Equities Limited (ASX:OEQ) a royalty of 2% of gross revenues (exclusive of GST) from any commercial exploitation of any minerals from the Paulsens East (Iron Ore) Project tenement (currently a Retention Licence RL 47/7 pending conversion to a Mining Lease ML 47/1583) in Western Australia. This royalty entitlement stems from the Consolidated Entity’s acquisition of a portfolio of tenements (including the Paulsens East tenement) from Orion in September 2005. For further background details, refer also to Strike’s ASX Announcements dated 20 September 2005: Acquisition of Uranium Tenements and 11 August 2008: Acquisition of Outstanding Interests in Berau Coal and Paulsens East Iron Ore Projects.

(c) Australian Native Title

The Consolidated Entity's tenements in Australia are (or may in the future be) subject to native title rights of the traditional owners under the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) . Save as disclosed in Note 23, it is not possible to quantify the impact that native title may have on the operations of the Consolidated Entity in relation to these tenements.

(d) Government Royalties

The Consolidated Entity is liable to pay royalties to Government on production obtained from its mineral tenements/concessions.

(e) Deferred Payments from Settlement Agreement Relating to Apurimac Ferrum SAC

Pursuant to a settlement agreement dated 30 December 2012 whereby the Consolidated Entity acquired the (50%) balance of equity interest in Apurimac Ferrum SAC ( AF ) (the holder of the Apurimac and Cusco Projects) from D&C Pesca SAC, the Consolidated Entity has a series of deferred payment obligations as outlined below.

The Consolidated Entity has payment obligations if certain milestones are achieved as follows:

  • (i) Resource Milestone Payment: US$2 million on the delineation of at least 500 Mt of JORC Mineral Resources at an average grade of at least 55% Fe with at least 275 Mt of contained iron having an average grade of at least 52.5% Fe, on the Apurimac Project mineral concessions.

  • (ii) Approvals Milestone Payment : Up to US$3 million on AF receiving all formal government environmental and community approvals for the construction and operation of an iron ore mine and required infrastructure with a design capacity of at least 10Mtpa of iron ore product, relating to the Apurimac Project mineral concessions.

  • (iii) Construction Milestone Payment : Up to US$5 million on formal approval of the AF Board to commence construction of an iron ore project or the commencement of bulk earthworks for an iron ore mine or processing plant, in either case with a design capacity of at least 10Mtpa of iron ore product, relating to the Apurimac Project mineral concessions.

The Consolidated Entity has royalty payment obligations as follows:

  • (i) 1.5% of the net profits from sales of iron ore mined and iron ore products produced from the Apurimac and Cusco Project mineral concessions.

  • (ii) 2% of the proceeds of sales of other metals (on a net smelter return basis) mined from the Apurimac and Cusco Project mineral concessions.

Due to the inherent uncertainty surrounding the achievement and timing of the above milestones/royalty triggers, the Consolidated Entity regards these future payment obligations as contingencies.

For further background details, refer also to Strike’s ASX Announcement dated 31 December 2012: Strike Moves to 100% Ownership of AF.

(f) Legal Disputes Over Peru Mineral Concessions

The Consolidated Entity has successfully defended against a number of legal actions and claims made by several Peruvian parties (that have had a contractual relationship with AF) relating to the Consolidated Entity’s mineral concessions in Peru. Whilst there still remain some outstanding claims and appeals, the Consolidated Entity believes that they will all eventually be dismissed, consistent with previous decisions by the relevant Peruvian authorities.

For further background details, refer also to Strike’s ASX Announcement dated 1 May 2014: Strike Wins Millenium Arbitration Case in Peru.

(g) Deferred Payments Relating to Acquisition of Solaroz Lithium Project (Argentina)

In March 2019, the Consolidated Entity entered into an agreement to acquire a 90% shareholding in Hananta S.A. (incorporated in Argentina) ( Hananta ). Hananta has, in turn, entered into an Option and Purchase Agreement ( Agreement ) with the registered legal and beneficial owner ( Owner ) of applications for exploitation concessions (totalling 12,000 ha) currently being processed before the Administrative Mining Court of the Province of Jujuy ( Mining Properties ) which comprise the Solaroz Lithium Brine Project ( Solaroz ) located in northern Argentina.

At the completion of the payments to the Owner, registered title to the Mining Properties will be transferred to Hananta. The Consolidated Entity can elect to terminate Hananta’s Agreement with the Owner at any time, with no penalty. Strike will fund 100% of the development costs for Solaroz (including the abovementioned payments to the Owner) to the completion of a bankable feasibility study, with such funding to be provided as loans to Hananta, to be repaid to the Consolidated Entity as a priority prior to any distributions to shareholders. Thereafter, Hanaq Argentina S.A. ( Hanaq ) (as the other 10% shareholder in Hananta) will contribute pro-rata or dilute. Hanaq can at any time elect to convert its holding in Hananta to a 1% Net Smelter Royalty.

In light of the above circumstances, the Consolidated Entity regards these future payment obligations as contingencies.

Further details are also contained in Strike’s ASX announcement dated 13 March 2019: Strike Secures Solaroz Lithium Brine Project in Argentina’s Lithium Triangle.

23. EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

(a) Native Title Mining Agreement

On 14 August 2020, the Consolidated Entity entered into a Native Title Mining Agreement ( Native Title Agreement ) with the PKKP Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC ( PKKPAC ). The PKKPAC holds native title on trust for the benefit of the Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura People ( PKKP ), the traditional owners of the land on which the Consolidated Entity’s Paulsens East Iron Ore Project is located in the West Pilbara region of Western Australia. The Native Title Agreement provides an agreed framework for Strike to undertake its mining activities (that minimises the impact on Aboriginal Cultural Heritage with safeguards for the care and protection of the lands and rights of the PKKP) and includes a package of financial and business development related benefits for the PKKP, including upfront and milestone payments, a production payment based on the value of iron ore sales (of between 0.5% to 1%, subject to the price of iron ore sales achieved), an annual training and development allowance and opportunities for PKKP members to contract for the provision of certain support operations related to the Paulsens East Iron Ore Project. The PKKPAC also consented to the grant of the Project’s Mining Lease and ancillary Miscellaneous Licences (which are required to support mining operations). Refer Strike’s ASX Announcement dated 17 August 2020: Native Title Agreement Paves Way for Iron Ore Development.

(b) Grant of Mining Lease

On 4 September 2020, the Mining Lease (M47/1583) for the Paulsens East Iron Ore Project was formally granted by the Western Australian Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety for an initial term of 21 years. Refer Strike’s ASX Announcement dated 7 September 2020: Grant of Mining Lease for Paulsens East Iron Ore Project.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since the end of the financial year that significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Consolidated Entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Consolidated Entity in future financial periods.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF

STRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Strike Resources Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended on that date and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’ declaration of the Company.

In our opinion the financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under these standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of this report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (Including Independence Standards) (the “Code”) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF

STRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED (continued)

Key Audit Matter – Cash and Cash Equivalents

How our Audit Addressed the Key Audit Matter

The Group’s cash and cash equivalents make up 72% of total assets by value and are considered to be the key driver of the Group’s operations and exploration activities.

We do not consider cash and cash equivalents to be at a high risk of significant misstatement, or to be subject to a significant level of judgement.

However due to the materiality in the context of the financial statements as a whole, this is considered to be an area which had an effect on our overall strategy and allocation of resources in planning and completing our audit.

Our procedures over the existence of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents included but were not limited to:

  • Documenting and assessing the processes and controls in place to record cash transactions;

  • Testing a sample of cash payments to determine they were bona fide payments, were properly authorised and recorded in the general ledger; and

  • Agreeing significant cash holdings to independent third-party confirmations.

We have also assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures included in the financial report.

Key Audit Matter – Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

The Group incurred significant exploration and evaluation expenditure during the year.

We do not consider exploration and evaluation expenditure to be at a high risk of significant misstatement, however due to the materiality in the context of the financial statements as a whole, this is considered to be an area which had an effect on our overall strategy and allocation of resources in planning and completing our audit.

How our Audit Addressed the Key Audit Matter

Our procedures in assessing exploration and evaluation expenditure included but were not limited to the following:

  • We assessed the reasonableness of capitalising exploration and evaluation expenditure in accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources .

  • We tested a sample of exploration and evaluation expenditure to supporting documentation to ensure they were bona fide payments; and

  • We documented and assessed the processes and controls in place to record exploration and evaluation transactions.

We have also assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures included in the financial report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF

STRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED (continued)

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If based on the work we have performed we conclude there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the 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 financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx.

We communicate with the directors regarding, amongst other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

==> picture [103 x 71] intentionally omitted <==

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF

STRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED (continued)

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.

We describe those matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communications.

Report on the Remuneration Report

Opinion on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the remuneration report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2020.

In our opinion the remuneration report of Strike Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2020 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Responsibilities

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
