BOARD OF DIRECTORS Farooq Khan (Chairman)

William Johnson (Managing Director)

Strike Resources Limited (Strike or Company ) presents its Quarterly Report for the period ended 30 September 2016

As at 30 September 2016, Strike had net assets of ~$6.516 million (comprising ~$6.542 million gross cash less provisions/accruals/trade creditors of ~$0.026 million).

New Project Activity

During the quarter, Strike continued to review resource opportunities in sectors (in Australia and overseas) where the Company believes that the current market conditions may present good buying opportunities or where there exists positive market sentiment.

In this regard, Strike has held discussions with a number of potential parties for Strike to acquire a joint venture interest in and or farm-in to existing mineral projects in Australia and overseas.

In the previous quarter, Strike applied for a number exploration mineral concessions in Western Australia and Chile. Once these are granted, Strike will undertake initial exploration activities to further assess their prospectively.

Update on Iron Ore Projects in Peru

Malcolm Richmond

(Non-Executive Director)

Matthew Hammond (Non-Executive Director)

Victor Ho

During the quarter Strike continued to study potential alternative value-add strategies in relation to the near term development of the Apurimac Project – this is consistent with Strike’s recognition of the project as a potentially strategic asset in Peru which may, when market conditions improve, provide opportunity for the Company to recover value.

COMPANY SECRETARY Victor Ho cosec@strikeresources.com.au

About Strike Resources Limited (ASX:SRK)

Strike Resources is an ASX listed resource company, owner of the high grade Apurimac Magnetite Iron Ore Project and Cusco Magnetite Iron Ore Project in Peru. Strike retains significant cash reserves and is presently reviewing alternative options with regard to utilisation of these funds.

Quarterly Report for period ended 30 September 2016

PROJECTS

Apurimac Iron Ore Project

Between 2006 and 2014, Strike’s primary focus was on the development of its Apurimac magnetite project in Peru, 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.

Current adverse market conditions however have led the Company to suspend all development activities on this and its other iron ore projects in Peru.[1]

Nevertheless, the nature of the Apurimac deposit and the development work undertaken todate define this project as a potentially strategic asset in Peru which may, when market conditions improve, provide opportunity for the Company to recover value.

The exceptionally high grade 57% Fe is almost twice as high as magnetite deposits developed in Australia; ore bodies are coarse grained and relatively soft, resulting in potentially cheaper processing costs once in production.

A prefeasibility study completed in 2008[2] and updated in 2010[3] on the Apurimac Project indicated clear potential for development of a world class iron ore project:

• JORC Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource at the main Opaban I/III concessions of 269Mt of iron ore at 57.3% Fe (142 Mt Indicated Resource at 57.84% Fe and 127 Mt Inferred Resource at 56.7% Fe). Of this, potentially 67Mt of Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) at an average grade of 61.5% Fe has been identified.

• Mineralisation predominantly high-grade, coarse-grained magnetite providing comparatively high mass recoveries (>60%) at coarse grind size (>500 microns).

• Excellent exploration potential within current concessions with several targets containing ironstones grading >60% Fe in similar geological settings to the main Opaban concessions.

• Base case of 20Mtpa of concentrate produced by open pit mining and processing 20 – 27Mtpa of ore with transport of the high grade (>66% Fe) product to the coast via a slurry pipeline for drying and shipment to customers.

• Attractive life-of-mine operating expenses (2010) of US$17 – 20 per tonne of product.

• Estimated capital expenditure (2010) of US$2.6 – 2.9 billion, competitive with other major iron ore projects at the time.

Cusco Iron Ore Project

The Cusco project lies approximately 150km to the south - east of Apurimac and forms a potential secondary development target for the Company in Peru with an initial inferred resource estimate of 104Mt at 32.6% Fe.

Like Apurimac, iron ore mineralisation at the project is coarse grained and dominated by magnetite, with high grades recorded. Preliminary metallurgical tests indicate a concentrate grade of >65% Fe could be produced from this ore using conventional grinding and magnetic separation processes.

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.
