PROJECT OVERVIEW

==> picture [133 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

APURIMAC AND CUZCO IRON ORE

(68.15%[1] , Peru)

The Company has an interest in large high grade hematite and magnetite deposits in Peru – the Apurimac and Cuzco Projects – through an investment in Apurimac Ferrum S.A. ( AF ), a Peruvian company.

Apurimac Iron Ore Project: The Company continues to progress its objective of delineating a significant high-grade iron ore resource to support a 20 million tonnes per annum mining operation with a production start date in 2011. It is proposed to transport the ore to a new port site via a slurry pipeline. Pre-feasibility studies coordinated by Sinclair Knight Merz and involving the Snowden Group, CSIRO and Pipeline Systems Incorporated commenced in August 2007 are scheduled to be completed in the January to March 2008 quarter.

Cuzco Iron Ore Project: The Company has a broad objective of delineating a large iron ore body capable of supporting an additional 20 million tonnes per annum mining operation, which would take combined production from the Apurimac and Cuzco Projects to 40 million tonnes per annum.

The Company also believes there is potential for an independent early start up of a smaller scale mining operation of ~2 million tonnes per annum from scree and near surface mineralisation at Cuzco commencing in 2008/9. Such an operation could potentially utilise existing nearby rail infrastructure to transport iron ore to the coast.

Summary of Resource Estimate

Estimate Source Apurimac Project 520 to 730 Mt target mineralisation Strike[2] Including: Opaban I Concession 151 Mt JORC Inferred Mineral Resource Strike[3] grading 62.16% Fe with a cut-off grade of 55% Fe based on 6,383 metres of assayed RC and diamond drilling Opaban III Concession 21 Mt JORC Inferred Mineral Resource Strike[4] grading 63.1% Fe with a cut-off grade of 55% Fe based on 1,102 metres of assayed diamond drilling Cuzco Project 570 to 650 Mt target mineralisation Strike[5]

(It is noted that the target mineralisations referred to above are conceptual in nature as there has been insufficient exploration to define a JORC compliant Mineral Resource and it remains to be ascertained if exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.)

172 MILLION TONNE JORC INFERRED RESOURCE

The Company has been conducting a drilling programme at its Apurimac Project in Peru to delineate a significant high grade iron ore resource to support a 20 million tonne per annum mining operation. Such production would place the Company in the top 15 iron ore producers in the world in terms of annual production.

On 19 July 2007, the Company was pleased to provide an upgraded JORC Inferred Resource of 172 million tonnes grading 62.28% Fe based upon drilling at the Opaban I and Opaban III deposits within the Apurimac Project area, an increase of 151 million tonnes over the previously reported JORC Inferred Resource[7] .

These results represent a major milestone in the development of the Company as it moves towards its target of becoming a significant international iron ore producer at the rate of 20 Million Tonnes per annum.

Current JORC Statement

The total JORC Inferred Resource within the Opaban I and III concessions is currently 172 million tonnes grading 62.28% Fe.

This is based on 6,383 metres of assayed RC (4,818 metres) and diamond (1,565 metres) drilling conducted at the Opaban I concession and 1,102 metres of assayed diamond drilling conducted at the Opaban III concession.

The Inferred Resource estimate for Opaban I has been calculated at 151 million tonnes grading 62.16% Fe with a cutoff grade of 55% Fe.[ 8]

The Inferred Resource estimate for Opaban III has been previously reported at 21 million tonnes grading 63.1% Fe with a cut-off grade of 55% Fe.[ 9]

The Opaban I and Opaban III iron mineralisation present as high grade hematite/magnetite aggregates with low levels of impurities.

The Company further notes that:

  • (a) Drilling conducted within the Opaban I deposit has indicated that mineralisation is still open to the north, west and in places at depth;

  • (b) Both Opaban I and Opaban III are not fully tested with significant potential for delineation of further high grade iron mineralisation;

  • (c) The current JORC Inferred Resource is expected to increase as further drilling to the north, west and at depth in Opaban I is conducted and drilling commences to test further mineralisation in Opaban III;

  • (d) Seventeen other high priority targets with surface outcropping iron mineralisation in the Apurimac Project area are yet to be drilled to test the deposit size previously estimated by the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines ( PMEN );

  • (e) A plan has been formulated for further drilling at the Opaban I and III deposits to extend the JORC Resource. This drilling will commence once local community and environmental approvals are obtained;

  • (f) Given the Company’s increased level of confidence in the potential for a 20 million tonne per annum mining operation, it is developing a comprehensive community relations programme that deals not only with approvals for currently proposed drilling but also with the long term aspirations of local communities and stakeholders with respect to the operation of a significant mine in the region.

A simplified cross section of the Opaban I deposit is shown in the diagram below. This cross section highlights the flat lying tabular nature of the deposit and also demonstrates the potential for a low waste to ore ratio for any future mining of the deposit.

==> picture [458 x 224] intentionally omitted <==

Note: Vertical exaggeration is approximately 2:1

The 151 million tonne JORC Inferred resource classification has been made based upon a number of criteria, including the geological confidence, the integrity of the drilling data and the spatial continuity of the mineralisation. Polygonal resource calculation methodology was adopted using weighted average grades and cumulative thicknesses of +55% Fe intervals within drill holes. The nature of the deposit is high grade iron skarn mineralisation hosted in limestone at the contact with diorite intrusions.

Drilling Results – Northern Section of Opaban I Concession

Subsequent to the 6,383 metres of drilling conducted at Opaban I in 2005, 2006 and March 2007 to outline the 151 million tonnes JORC Inferred Resource estimate for this concession[10] , the Company completed a drilling campaign at the northern section of the Opaban I concession in June 2007 and assay results received during the quarter has returned high-grade intersections.

The Company had conducted a drilling campaign of 5 holes for a total of 411 metres to test the extent of mineralisation to the north of the previously delineated deposit at Opaban I.

The best results of this drilling campaign included 34.5 metres at 61.9% Fe.

A summary of the drilling results are set out below.

This drilling has confirmed an extension of mineralisation to the north and confirms that mineralisation continues to remain open to the north.

Further drilling in this area (a 6 hole campaign of diamond drilling) commenced in October 2007 and are expected to be completed in November 2007 with assayed results due in January 2008.

Upon completion of such drilling and assaying, the Company expects to increase its 151 million tonnes JORC Inferred Resource estimate for Opaban I.

Opaban III Concession – 21 million tonnes JORC Inferred Resource Grading 63.1% Fe

As previously announced, the Company had formed a view that high grade Fe mineralisation existed at Opaban III beyond the previously delineated JORC Inferred Resource of 21 million tonnes grading 63.1% Fe with a cut-off grade of 55% Fe.[11]

To determine the extent of such additional mineralisation, the Company recently completed detailed geophysical work on prospective ground within the Opaban III concession. The Company is pleased to confirm that such work has indicated the presence of a large gravity anomaly that is significantly larger than the gravity anomaly upon which the 21 million tonnes JORC Inferred Resource was identified.

In the Company’s experience, gravity anomalies in this area have a positive correlation to the existence of iron mineralisation. The Company accordingly believes that this anomaly is indicative of the presence of a large body of iron mineralisation under cover of diorite. The Company intends to confirm the presence of such mineralisation through drilling.

REGIONAL MAPPING AND SAMPLING

The Apurimac Project currently comprises 23 granted mineral concessions (totaling 20,288 hectares) in the Apurimac District in Southern Peru. To date the Company has focused its drilling on the Opaban I and Opaban III concessions, which together comprise only a small portion of the total land area of the Apurimac Project. The Company notes that all of these as yet un-drilled concessions have outcrops of massive iron ore.

As a preliminary means of determining the extent of iron ore mineralisation in these concession areas, the Company undertook a reconnaissance mapping and sampling programme across 8 of the 23 concessions. This programme is ongoing and will upon completion provide a detailed surface outline of all 23 concessions in the Apurimac Project area. In addition, a detailed ground magnetometer survey is currently underway in these concessions.

The initial reconnaissance, mapping and sampling programme has been extremely encouraging indicating the presence of numerous high grade iron mineralisation outcrops.

A map showing the sample locations with corresponding iron grades is set out on the following page.

With respect to the 15 concessions yet to be sampled and mapped, visual observations show that surface outcrops of massive iron ore extend for up to ~500 metres along strike. Photographs of some of these outcrops are set out to the right.

This mapping and sampling increases the Company’s confidence that, given further time and drilling, it will be able to realise its objective of defining at a minimum, a high-grade resource within the Apurimac Project area able to support a 20 million tonnes per annum mining operation production for 20 years.

An regional aeromagnetic survey intended for the north-western parts of the Apurimac district has been cancelled due to the service provider being unable to supply a suitable fixed wing aircraft at the present time. The Company is investigating other options in this regard.

COMMENCEMENT OF PRE-FEASIBILITY STUDIES

In August 2007, the Company commissioned the following pre-feasibility studies in relation to the development of mining operations in the Apurimac Project area and the transportation of iron ore by slurry pipeline to a selected port site to be developed on the Pacific coast:

The Company expects these pre-feasibility studies to be completed in the January to March 2008 quarter.

In addition, the Company has also commenced studies in relation to sales and marketing of its proposed high grade iron product to the Chinese and Japanese markets. To date this work has been conducted principally in- house with preliminary discussions having been instituted with significant purchasers in both markets. The response has been encouraging with the view having been expressed that such purchasers are seeking suppliers able to deliver large quantities of high quality iron ore fines and/or concentrate over the long term.

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

COMPANY PROJECTS

These discussions are ongoing and will expand to include other consumers of iron ore as the pre-feasibility studies continue. As the chemical and physical characteristics of the Apurimac Project end product becomes better defined, the Company will work with these purchasers to formulate a product mix best suited to their individual blast furnace operations.

In parallel with these activities, the Company continues to promote an active community relations programme to help advance both the exploration phase and the eventual commencement of mining operations.

PRELIMINARY MINERALOGY

The Company has commissioned CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) to conduct extensive quantitative mineralogy on drill samples collected from the Opaban I concession.

The Company’s preliminary views based on CSIRO’s initial findings are:

  • The iron content of the deposit comprises approximately a 50% hematite and 50% magnetite mix;

  • Impurities (mainly silica as silicates) liberate (i.e. separate) easily when crushed to a particle size of one millimetre;

  • At one millimetre crushing, silicates, which are soft in this instance, pulverise to ~30 microns (0.03 millimetres);

  • Removal of impurities at a particle size of ~30 microns suggests a relatively high grade product can be expected, at around 65% Fe, with a relatively straightforward flowsheet involving crushing, screening and hydrocyclone processing.

EXPLORATION PROGRAMME FOR APURIMAC PROJECT

The proposed exploration programme for the December 2007 quarter is outlined below:

  • (a) Upon the receipt of local community approvals and drilling and environmental permits, undertake further drilling campaigns at:

  • (i) Opaban I concession - to the north, west and at depth;

  • (ii) Opaban III concession - to test further iron ore mineralisation as a result of recently conducted detailed geophysical work;

  • (iii) Priority targets of surface outcrops of iron ore mineralisation within the remaining 21 granted Apurimac Project concessions, commencing with a 40 hole diamond drilling programme in the Ferrum 9 and Ferrum 11 concessions.

  • (b) When available, interpretation of assay results from October/November 2007 drilling in the northern section of the Opaban I concession;

  • (c) Conduct on-going ground magnetic surveys and mapping together with surface sampling over the remaining high priority concessions within the Apurimac Project area to identify drill targets;

  • (d) Subject to aircraft availability, conduct an aeromagnetic survey over the north-western part of the Apurimac District.

2. Cuzco Iron Ore Project

(68.15%[12] , Cuzco District, Peru)

Cuzco Project summary details are as follows:

  • Company objective to delineate a large ore body capable of supporting a 20 million tonnes per annum mining operation, which would take combined production from the Apurimac and Cuzco Projects to 40 million tonnes per annum;

  • Prospect of an independent early, smaller scale mining operation of up to two million tonnes per annum from scree and near surface mineralisation commencing in 2008/9 to provide the potential for an early cash flow to support the Company’s larger mining aspirations.

  • The Company has determined a target mineralisation in the Cuzco concessions of between 570Mt to 650MT of high grade iron ore[ 13] based on detailed geophysical surveys conducted by Val D’or Geofisica, a Peruvian geophysical consultancy group;

  • 6 mining concessions having a total area of 5,375 hectares;

  • Concessions are located approximately 80 kilometres south from the city of Cuzco in Peru’s southern Andes.

It is noted that the potential quantity and grades of the target mineralisation referred to above are conceptual in nature; there has been insufficient exploration to define a JORC compliant Mineral Resource; it remains to be ascertained if exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource. The Company further notes that the estimate is based on mapping and surface sampling and has not been based on drilling. Detailed exploration will be required to confirm the estimate and to determine the full iron ore potential of the project.

Scout Drilling

The Company has completed a 17-hole scout core and RC drilling programme of 2,786 metres within the Cuzco Project area. Mineralisation, delineated through previous surface sampling and detailed geophysical work, occurs as flat tabular bodies radiating from a central core within an area of approximately 3 by 4 kilometres.

The mineralogy of these tabular bodies appears to be more variable than the Opaban I and III deposits in terms of iron grades and associated gangue minerals. The Company has accordingly forwarded drill samples to CSIRO Brisbane, Australia for more detailed mineralogical and metallurgical assessment. Details of such assessment is pending as at the date of this report.

Details of the scout drill hole locations (overlaid on to a magnetic intensity image) are presented in the diagram below.

SURFACE MINING POTENTIAL – 2 MILLION TONNES PER ANNUM MINING OPERATION

In addition to the sub-surface magnetite mineralisation, the Company has observed the widespread presence of highgrade hematite surface mineralisation (indicated by surface sampling) and associated scree deposits within the Cuzco Project area, as illustrated in the two photographs below.

The Company believes that the surface mineralisation and the scree ore, which is largely high-grade hematite, may be able to support a simple, relatively low cost mining operation of up to two million tonnes per annum.

The Company is investigating the ability of nearby rail infrastructure owned by Peru Rail to transport the ore to the coast. Peru Rail is already transporting mineral concentrates and ore on this rail infrastructure to the coast. Peru Rail has indicated that it would be supportive of such an operation and the Company has accordingly commenced negotiations with Peru Rail on rail access terms and transportation costs to the coast.

The Company is currently undertaking a detailed study to investigate the opportunity to commence production of a two million tonnes per annum high-grade lump and fines mining operation from the Cuzco Project area. Such an operation could potentially commence as early as 2009.

As part of this study the Company will shortly commence a detailed programme of drilling, trenching and sampling scree deposits and shallow iron ore mineralisation (up to 10 metres deep) to endeavour to define a resource of 30 to 40 million tonnes of high grade iron ore to support this potential operation.

3. Paulsens East Iron Ore Project

(75%, West Pilbara Region, Western Australia)

The Paulsens East tenements cover a total area of 19.64 square kilometres. The tenements are located approximately 140 kilometres west of Tom Price (close to bitumised road) and eight kilometres east-northeast of the Paulsens Gold mine in the northwest of Western Australia.

A map outlining these tenements and the area of the high grade hematite conglomerate mineralisation is shown below.

==> picture [389 x 232] intentionally omitted <==

This mineralisation (hematite conglomerate in hematite matrix) occurs as a ridge rising up to approximately 60 metres above the valley floor and extends for a strike distance of ~3,000 metres.

Profile view: A section of Hematite Ridge

==> picture [280 x 183] intentionally omitted <==

The Company sampled the outcrop at various points along the length of the hematite ridge in June 2006; the results confirmed the presence of high grade hematite with grades of 62.59% to 67.05% Fe.[14]

The drilling results completed in December 2006 show high grade intersections in PERC002 averaging 65.15% Fe from 14 to 16 metres and 63.4% Fe from 18 to 22 metres. However, in the remaining 7 holes designed to intersect the mineralisation at depths between 12 metres and up to 128 metres only narrow thicknesses of one and

2 metres of high-grade conglomerate analysing between 60% Fe and 65% Fe, sandwiched between siliceous metasediments were encountered.[15]

The Company believes that there may be sufficient high-grade resource above the surface and at shallow depths up to 20 metres to support a small mining operation. The Company is currently investigating the feasibility of mining operations and the transportation of ore by truck to the Pilbara coast.

4. King Sound Mineral Sands Project

(100%, West Kimberley Region, Western Australia)

The Company has identified the King Sound area as being prospective for the accumulation of heavy minerals.

During the March 2007 quarter, the Company applied for 3 tenements covering a total area of 652 square kilometres. The project area is located approximately 10 kilometres south-west of the port town of Derby in the West Kimberley region of Western Australia.

Historical reporting indicates Carr Boyd Minerals Limited took two samples for mineralogical determinations in 1971. One of the samples contained 1.1% magnetite, 12.1% ilmenite (TiO2) and 3.5% zircon before concentration. Heavy minerals made up 22.7% of the material. The area was subsequently sampled by Metal Investment Pty Ltd (Reported by Geodrillers P.L., 1971) using lines of auger holes. Their preliminary petrolgical examination gave the following mineralogical composition: 20% magnetite (by weight), 50% to 60% ilmenite (of which 10% is highly altered leucoxene), 1% to 5% rutile and approximately 5% zircon.

In the late 1980’s BHP attempted a shallow (up to 6 metres) RC drilling programme over the King Sound sand flats. BHP experienced problems during their programme, mostly attributed to the drill rig’s inability to penetrate the sands and the fact it became bogged on numerous occasions.

For these reasons combined with weather hardships, BHP abandoned their programme some 150 holes

short of their plan

==> picture [361 x 303] intentionally omitted <==

and concluded that “the Fitzroy River mouth and in Strokes Bay have not been adequately explored in this programme”.

A reconnaissance trip is planned for November 2007 to collect sediment samples across the tenements to verify historical reported heavy mineral grades and to ascertain whether ground geophysical techniques may be a viable exploration tool in the area.

5. Banten Copper/Gold Project

(100%, West Java, Indonesia)

This project comprises a 5,601 hectare concession located approximately 100 kilometres south-west of Jakarta. Strike has identified epithermal gold veins, gold stock works and associated porphyry copper targets within the concession.

PT Indo Batubara ( PTIB ) completed a 126.4 metre, three hole diamond core drilling programme in August 2007, targeting epithermal gold and skarn base metal mineralisation, within the concession area.

The three drill holes reached depths of 37.8 metres (SMDD001), 43.6 metres (SMDD001-redrill), and 45 metres (SMDD002).

A summary of the diamond drilling results completed in August 2007 is outlined below:

HOLE ID From (m) To (m) Cu (%) Pb (%) Zn (%) Ag (g/t)
SMDD002 0 1 - 0.54 - 39.8
SMDD002 1 2 - 1.39 - 12.9
SMDD002 3 4 - 1 - 22.6
SMDD002 4 5 0.26 0.77 - 54.4
SMDD002 5 6 0.97 0.48 4.91 39.6
SMDD002 6 7 0.25 0.49 4.44 21.6
SMDD002 7 8 0.3 1.65 6.87 33
SMDD002 9 10 - - 1.25 22

Near surface base metal (Zinc-Lead-Copper-Silver) mineralisation was recovered in SMDD002, however did not continue at depth.

The drilling results show high grade intersections in SMDD002 averaging 3.6% Zinc from 5 to 10 metres and 28g/t Silver from 0 metres to 10 metres.

The remaining holes designed to intersect the epithermal gold mineralisation recovered no anomalous results.

The Company has determined that this project is not a core asset and intends to divest its interest in due course.

The Company’s interest in this project is under a cooperation agreement dated 16 March 2005 between Strike Operations Pty Ltd[16] ( SOPL ), PTIB and PT Suda Miskin ( Suda Miskin ), under which PTIB has acquired the right to exclusively conduct general survey activities, explore for, exploit, mine and sell gold and any other minerals in the concession area.

Under the terms of the agreement, SOPL has paid US$55,000 to Suda Miskin and has the following future payment and profit sharing obligations to Suda Miskin:

  • (a) US$30,000 by April 2008; and

  • (b) A 19% share of after tax net profits from production.
