Further Update on Paulsens East Project Financing

Strike Resources Limited (ASX:SRK) (Strike) provides the following update in relation to the US$7.2 million (~A$10 Million) loan facility (Facility) with Good Importing International Pty Limited (GII) used for the Stage 1 development of the Paulsens East Iron Ore Project (Paulsens East) located in the Pilbara, Western Australia. 1

The Facility was used to develop mine infrastructure and fund Strike's maiden (66,618 tonne) export of Paulsens East Lump direct shipping iron ore (DSO) from Utah Point (Port Hedland) in September 2022. 2

Under the terms of the Facility (which was amended in December 20223 ), Strike was to repay 50% of the loan principal on 31 July 2023 with the balance payable on 31 October 2023.

Strike is pleased to confirm that it has secured a 12 month extension of the repayment terms of the Facility from GII as follows:

  • 50% of the loan principal is now repayable on 31 July 2024; and
  • the balance of the Facility is now repayable on 31 October 2024.

Strike will commence payment of interest (at 10% pa) on 30 June 2023 and at the end of each quarter thereafter.

Strike thanks GII for the extension in repayment terms under the Facility, which now affords Strike greater commercial flexibility in the commercial advancement of its various iron ore projects.
