The route from Paulsens East to Onslow is good quality sealed road all the way except for a proposed 18km haul road, which Strike proposes to construct from the Project site to Nanutarra Road.

Under the terms of the LOI, OMSB Ltd, Agility and Strike have agreed to collectively work together in order to establish the optimal operating parameters and obtain all approvals and permits necessary to enable the export of Strike's high-grade iron ore from Beadon Creek.

With the preferred port location now confirmed, Strike is in the final stages of completing a Scoping Study into the commercial viability of the Project, the results of which will be announced shortly.

Strike Managing Director, William Johnson:

"The selection of Beadon Creek as Strike's preferred export now enables the Company to proceed with the Paulsens East Project with greater confidence, with the complete logistics chain from mine to customer now identified. Beadon Creek is the ideal location for Strike, being the closest established marine facility (only 233 km) to the Project. As a privatelyoperated facility, the OMSB offers further advantages in that the operator (Agility) has strong commercial imperatives to make this operation a success.

"The establishment of such an operation is likely to generate a number of new employment opportunities at Onslow and additional economic activity for the town.

"Strike is looking forward to developing a strong working relationship with OMSB Ltd and Agility as we work together to bring the Paulsens East Iron Ore Project into production".
