Strike Resources Limited Announces WA Department of Water and Environmental Regulation Grants Works Approval Strike Resources Limited advised that the WA Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) has granted a Works Approval under the Environmental Protection Act 1986 for the export of up to 1.8 Mtpa (10,000 tonnes per day) of iron ore from the Port of Ashburton in Onslow. This Works Approval is an important step in the Stage 2 development plans of Strike, which involve the export of up to 1.8 Mtpa of iron ore from its Paulsens East Iron Ore Mine. The Port of Ashburton is proposed as a longer term export solution for Strike given its far closer proximity to the Paulsens East Iron Ore Mine (~235km) versus Utah Point in Port Hedland (~650km), leading to significantly lower trucking costs from mine to port. The Works Approval is subject to a number of usual conditions relating to export activity including environmental monitoring and established loading patterns to minimise the impact of dust and noise generation. There is a separate Works Approval application currently underway for the offshore marine operations. This approval relates principally to the location of offshore moorings for Ocean Going Vessels that will receive ore from Strike's proposed transhipment vessel. This application is progressing well in the normal course and is expected shortly. Strike will continue to update the market on the advancement of export operations from the Port of Ashburton as they occur. Announcement • Jun 21

Strike Resources Limited Provides Update on October 2020 Feasibility Study Strike Resources Limited provided an update on the October 2020 Feasibility Study (Study) previously announced by the Company 1 for its Paulsens East Iron Ore Project (the Project) located in the Pilbara, Western Australia. The updated feasibility study (Updated Study) reflects optimisation to mining operations since the original Study, with the objective of reducing project Capex and Opex and improving Project economics based on the current market price of iron ore. The Updated Study has confirmed the potential for the Project to generate ~$138 million in net cashflows (pre-tax) over a 3.5 year life of mine (LOM) at an average Benchmark2 iron ore price of $110/t for a pre-production capital cost (Capex) of $3.4 million. The Project has significant sensitivity to increases in iron ore prices. If a Benchmark iron ore price of $135/t (versus recent current prices exceeding $140/t) is sustained over LOM, the Project has the potential to generate $309 Million in net cashflows. Total Production Capex funding required is now ~$3.4 million for Stage 1 Production with a further ~$3 million required to ramp up to Stage 2 full annualised production of ~2Mtpa.). It is envisaged that Stage 1 could largely be funded by a prepayment for offtake or other financing facility with discussions well advanced in this regard. The Project is located ~10km from Northern Star Resources Limited's Paulsens Gold Mine, ~235km by road east of Onslow (and Port of Ashburton) and ~600km by road south of Port Hedland. The Project is ~20km from the private Wyloo Station airstrip previously used by the Paulsens Gold Mine, which is suitable to support the transport of the Project's FIFO workforce. The Project consists of a ~3km long outcropping high-grade hematite ridge, containing a JORC Indicated Mineral Resource of 9.6 Million tonnes at 61.1% Fe, 6.0% SiO2, 3.6% Al2O3, 0.08% P (at a cut-off grade of 58% Fe). 8 As part of the completion of the original (October 2020) Feasibility Study1, part of the JORC Indicated Mineral Resource of 9.6 Million tonnes at 61.1% Fe, 6.0% SiO2, 3.6% Al2O3, 0.08% P (at a cut-off grade of 58% Fe) was converted to a JORC Probable Ore Reserve of 6.2 Million tonnes at 59.9% Fe, 7.43% SiO2, 3.77% Al2O3 and 0.086% P (at a cut-off grade of 55% Fe). As part of the completion of the Updated Study, an additional JORC Indicated Mineral Resource of 113,000 tonnes at 60.8% Fe, 6.9%, SiO2, 3.4% Al2O3, and 0.10% P (at a cut-off grade of 58% Fe) has been delineated from the high-grade hematite rich detrital material9 at surface north of the hematite ridge.

Strike Resources Limited Provides the Following Updates in Relation to Its Apurimac Iron Ore Project in Peru Strike Resources Limited provided the following updates in relation to its Apurimac Iron Ore Project in Peru (Apurimac Project). Strike continues to advance production of high-grade Direct Shipping Iron Ore (DSO) from its 100% owned Apurimac Project in Peru, with haulage now underway of its Apurimac Premium Lump DSO to a stockpile area located close to the Port of Pisco, from where the ore is planned to be shipped to customers in China. Strike remains on-track to export its first shipment of Apurimac Premium Lump (target grade of 65% Fe with low impurities) in July 2021, with an estimated FOB cost of approximately USD 70 - 80 per tonne. The Apurimac Premium Lump is expected to achieve a premium price compared to the current benchmark price for 62% Fe iron ore of approximately USD 215 per tonne. Approximately 50,000 tonnes of high-grade DSO has now been mined and is being crushed at two local crushing plants located close to the Apurimac Project and one new crushing plant located close to the Port of Pisco. Strike is targeting annualised sales in the near term of 250,000 tonnes from the Apurimac Project. Strike continues to advance securing additional crushing and transport capacity to meet this annualised target. Given the current strong demand and premium prices for high grade Lump Iron Ore there is a
clear opportunity for Strike to generate significant near-term cashflows from this operation. Ausenco is finalising their review of the 2008 and 2010 studies, which includes gap and trade-off analyses and an identification of opportunities to reduce project capex and increase project execution security. Strike will then work with Ausenco to finalise the scope for the next stage of works to examine in more detail the capital and operating costs associated with a 15 - 20 million tonne per annum production profile of a 68% Fe concentrate using a slurry pipeline for the transport of such ore to the coast for export. Announcement • May 29
Strike Resources Limited Updates in Relation to Its Apurimac Iron Ore Project in Peru (Apurimac Project) and Its Paulsens East Iron Ore Mine (Paulsens Project) Strike Resources Limited provided the following updates in relation to its Apurimac Iron Ore Project in Peru (Apurimac Project) and its Paulsens East Iron Ore Mine (Paulsens Project) together with confirmation of the successful completion of a $5 million share capital raising. Strike Resources Limited continues to advance production of high-grade Direct Shipping Iron Ore (DSO) from its 100% owned Apurimac Project in Peru. Given the current strong demand and premium prices for high grade Lump Iron Ore and the corresponding opportunity for the Company to generate significant near-term cashflows from this operation, the Company has determined to accelerate the ramp up of its activities in Peru and increase its target for annualised sales from 125,000 tonnes to 250,000 tonnes. This will require further investment in site infrastructure, additional working capital to expand the mining operations across multiple sites and potentially the acquisition of a dedicated crushing plant to speed up processing and reduce operating costs. Funds from the recently completed capital raising of the Company will be applied to achieve these objectives. Over 30,000 tonnes of high-grade DSO (Apurimac Premium Lump) has now been mined and is being crushed at two local crushing plants located close to the Apurimac Project. Given the proposed increase in mining production referred to above, the Company has commenced crushing at a third, higher capacity crushing plant located closer to the Pisco Port and with this third plant now operating, the Company is targeting first shipment of approximately 30,000 - 35,000 tonnes of Apurimac Premium Lump (target grade of ~$65% Fe) in July 2021, with an estimated FOB cost of approximately US$70 - 80 per tonne. The Company is also pleased to report that it has secured a fleet of 50 trucks to commence trucking ore to the new crushing facility and for transporting crushed ore to the Port of Pisco ready for shipment. The Company is currently negotiating for a further fleet of 30 trucks to be contracted to expedite its trucking logistics, to reduce time for further shipments of Apurimac Premium Lump and to account for the proposed increase in Apurimac Premium Lump production. In conjunction with the securing of a 50 - 80 truck fleet, the Company has recently appointed a shipping agent in Peru and is in the process of finalising its first charter party shipping agreement in anticipation of its proposed first ore on ship. The securing of the above transportation logistics is an important step in the development of the Apurimac Project and achieving first ore on ship. Strike's Apurimac Iron Ore Project in Peru is recognised as one of the grade, large-scale magnetite projects in the world with the potential to support the establishment of a significant iron ore operation. A Pre-Feasibility Study completed in 20081 and updated in 20102 on the Apurimac Project indicated clear potential for development of a world class iron ore project, with competitive capital costs and very low operating costs. The Company is pleased to confirm that it has now engaged Ausenco, an industry leader in global engineering services, to commence works to review and update these previous studies. The principal focus of such works will be to examine the capital and operating costs associated with a 15 - 20 million tonne per annum production profile of a 68% Fe concentrate using a slurry pipeline for the transport of such ore to the coast for export to China. The Company believes that this work is an important step in advancing this globally significant project, in particular given the current strong demand for iron ore and the widely reported intent of Chinese steel mills to secure long term strategic sources of high-grade iron ore from countries other than Australia and Brazil. The Apurimac Project (Strike - 100%) has a JORC Code (2012 Edition) compliant Mineral Resource of 269.4 Mt, consisting of: a 142.2 Mt Indicated Mineral Resource at 57.8% Fe; and a 127.2 Mt Inferred Mineral Resource at 56.7% Fe. In addition to the current JORC Mineral Resource, there is significant exploration potential given the deposits are open at depth and along strike (with very promising drill results including 154m @ 62% Fe) with extensive undrilled gravity and magnetic anomalies. The appointment of Ausenco will now update these works with a focus on the development of a viable business proposition for the creation of a world class mine based upon the current Mineral Resource of the project to create a very high grade premium iron ore product for export to China. A particular focus will be on the operating costs of such project with a view to creating a sustainable mining proposition based on the potentially highly competitive operating costs the Project affords.

Strike notes that the Benchmark iron ore price has recently reached record highs in excess of $200/t, significantly higher than the average of $100/t assumed in the Company's October 2020 Feasibility Study for the Project. Furthermore, the premium to Lump ore over Fines has also increased significantly in recent months to in excess of $0.50 per dry metric tonne unit (compared with $0.20 per dry metric tonne unit assumed in the Feasibility Study). In December 2020, Strike submitted an application for a Mining Proposal for the Project to the Department of Mines, Industry, Regulation and Safety (DMIRS). Following subsequent requests from DMIRS and other Government agencies for further information on a number of aspects of the Mining Proposal, Strike confirms that it has now submitted an updated Mining Proposal to DMIRS which includes comprehensive responses to the matters sought by DMIRS, the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) and Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER). In relation to other relevant permits and approvals, as previously announced on 19 April 2021, Strike has already received notification by DMIRS of an "Approval To Commence Mining Operations" for the Project, pursuant to confirmation by DMIRS that the Project Management Plan (PMP) submitted by Strike satisfied the requirements under section 42 of the Mines Safety and Inspection Act 1994 (WA) and Regulations 3.12 and 3.13 of the Mines Safety and Inspection Regulations 1995 (WA). Applications for related Works Approval (with DWER for approval pursuant to environmental
legislation and regulations) and native vegetation clearing permits (with DMIRS, pursuant to (including Commonwealth) environmental legislation and regulations) have also been submitted and are pending Departmental approvals.
On the basis of the above and subject to the grant of outstanding Miscellaneous Licence applications (relating to Project infrastructure and roads outside of the principal Mining Lease M47/1583) by DMIRS, Strike is expecting to have all permitting and approvals in place to allow for the commencement of Project site works in Third Quarter 2021. Strike has now received approval from DWER for the issue of a ground water licence to support proposed mining operations. The issue of this licence is a critical path item for the development of the Project, both for the construction phase of operations (including dust suppression) as well as for ongoing operations. The Company is now able to proceed to advance borefield development work based upon this licence. Strike has previously announced (on 29 April 2020) that it had entered into an MOU for haulage services with Campbell Transport Pty Ltd. (Campbell Transport). Campbell Transport is an established freight haulage company operating in Western Australia since 1997, with considerable experience in the transport of mineral products including iron ore over long distances in the Pilbara.
Since that time, Strike has been working closely with Campbell Transport to ensure that the logistics requirements relating to haulage for the Project are optimised and that safety, environmental and regulatory issues are fully addressed. Strike has been evaluating a number of potential contractors for providing the key mine construction, mine and haul, drill and blast, crushing and screening services. The Company has now reached the stage of finalising its short-list of contractors and expects to enter into early- engagement agreements with some of its preferred contractors shortly. Strike has continued to advance preparations for export through the Utah Point Multi-User Bulk
Handling Facility at Port Hedland (Utah Point). Strike notes that access to Utah Point will be subject to PPA having available capacity to allocate to Strike at the time at which the Company is in a position to make a Final Investment Decision (FID) on the Project. Furthermore, as a public multi-user facility, available capacity at Utah Point is not guaranteed. Strike is currently working with the Pilbara Ports Authority (PPA) to finalise various PPA environmental, health and safety operating procedures that are required prior to the export of bulk iron ore from such facility. Utah Point offers Strike a relatively simple export option, through its existing established infrastructure and ability to accommodate larger Panamax ships (which reduces overall shipping costs). Strike notes however that the relatively long distance from the Project mine to Utah Point will incur higher haulage costs relative to alternative ports closer to the mine. This is particularly so in the current economic climate where a shortage of suitable trucks and drivers, together with increasing fuel costs are putting upwards pressure on haulage costs. Strike continues to add to its Project Owner's Team with the appointment of Health, Safety, Environment (HSE) personnel to develop and operational readiness protocols for mine construction and operations. This recruitment adds to previous key Owners' Teams staff appointments in key areas of production, transport logistics and finance. Announcement • Mar 19
Strike Resources Limited Provides an Update on Significant Milestone in Company Operations in Peru Relating to its 100% Owned Apurimac Iron Ore Project Strike Resources Limited provided an update on a significant milestone in company operations in Peru relating to its 100% owned Apurimac Iron Ore Project. Strike confirms that since mining of high-grade surface deposits of iron ore from the Apurimac Project concessions commenced in late December 2020, over 20,000 tonnes of direct shipping ore (DSO) has been mined and transported by trucks for local crushing and screening, with over 6,000 tonnes of material having been crushed to date. Strike is now ramping up operations to increase throughput both via mining operations and the engagement of a second crushing and screening plant to increase crushing capacity to 1,000 tonnes per day. Once Strike has successfully crushed approximately 20,000 tonnes of material, it plans to progressively transport the Apurimac Premium Lump DSO product to a stockpile at the Port of Pisco, (located approximately 570km by road from the Apurimac Project) using locally sourced trucks. The total free on board (FOB) cost of the Apurimac Premium Lump product at the Port of Pisco is expected to be less than US$70 per tonne, including mining, crushing and screening, haulage, port and administration costs. These figures are based on actual costs incurred to date with respect to mining and crushing together with quotations for key sectors of the supply chain including road transport and port costs and based upon the Company's previous experience in 2013 where it commenced a trial mining operation from the Apurimac Project with ore delivered and sold to a steel mill in Peru.

Strike Resources Limited Announces Paulsens East Advances Towards Production Strike Resources Limited (Strike) is pleased to confirm that it is making excellent progress advancing its 100% owned Paulsens East Iron Ore Project (Paulsens East) towards production, with a targeted production profile of 1.5 million tonnes per year of high grade Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) with a minimum four year mine life (LOM). The Company notes that the Benchmark iron ore price continues to remain very strong currently USD 168 per tonne, compared to the average Benchmark price of USD 100 per tonne assumed for the Paulsens East Feasibility Study in October 2020. Based on Fe content of 62% for the Paulsens East product, this would imply an uplift of ~ USD 32 per tonne of Lump ore once the Paulsens East Lump product is established in the market. The premium pricing paid for Lump ore is highly significant for the Company, given that at least 75% of the Paulsens East DSO product is expected to be Lump ore. Approvals and Permitting: The Company submitted a proposal for the issue of a Mining Permit for Paulsens East with the Western Australian Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) on 24 December 2020. Following an initial review of Strike's submission, DMIRS has responded with a request for clarification on a number of issues, which is normal for submissions of this nature. Strike is currently preparing a response to this request, which it expects to submit to DMIRS shortly to conclude the matters required by DMIRS to facilitate the issue of a Mining Permit. Strike has also submitted its proposed Project Management Plan (PMP) for Paulsens East to DMIRS, as well as applications for works approvals, native vegetation clearance permits, building permits and applications for various licences for activities such as water extraction, storage of dangerous goods etc. These submissions and applications are currently being processed by the relevant Government departments and local authorities.

Strike Resources Limited Advances in the Development of Apurimac Iron Ore Project Strike Resources Limited provided an update on development activities relating to its 100% owned Apurimac Iron Ore Project in Peru1. Mining of high grade surface deposits by approved local mining groups has commenced to create a direct shipping ore (DSO) lump stockpile, pending the finalisation of trucking and port arrangements. The sale of this DSO material, currently on track for Second Quarter CY2021, represents another near term cashflow opportunity for the Company in parallel to advancing the Paulsens East Iron Ore Project into production. Strike is also planning to update the Pre-Feasibility Studies previously undertaken on the Apurimac Project. The Apurimac Project comprises a JORC (2012) Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource 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) defined at the main Opaban 1 and Opaban 3 concessions 2. In order to capitalise on the current and strong demand for iron ore, Strike has been investigating ways in which mining operations from its Apurimac Project might commence, particularly of the high grade DSO material which is principally located at or near surface on the Opaban 1 and Opaban 3 deposits. Strike has experience in this type of mining activity having commenced a pilot operation in December 2013, where approximately 8,000 tonnes of ore was mined from surface outcrops on the Opaban 3 concession by local miners, transported to the west coast of Peru and sold to a local steel mill.

Strike Resources Limited Announces Discovery of High Grade Iron Rich Detritals at Surface at Paulsens East Iron Ore Project Strike Resources Limited announced that it has discovered high grade hematite rich detrital mineralization at its Paulsens East Iron Ore Project (Project). Based on encouraging initial assay results and the observation of significant areas of similar surface materials, an exploration programme is due to commence shortly to test the extent of such mineralization. Such detrital material has not previously been accounted for in Strike's Resource inventory for the Project, which currently comprises a three kilometer long outcropping hematite ridge with a JORC Indicated Mineral Resource of 9.6 Million tonnes at 61.1% Fe, 6.0% SiO2, 3.6% Al2O3, 0.08% P1. During the recent Bulk Sampling programme conducted during August 2020 2, extensive occurrences of high grade hematite rich detrital material were observed along the northern base of the outcropping hematite ridge. Sampling taken was undertaken from surface to a depth of 1.5 meters from a site located approximately 100 meters north from the base of the ridge for analysis. Visual inspection of the sample location indicated that the eroded detrital material extended to at least 1.5 meters depth. Results of laboratory test work on the samples showed a highly encouraging product grade of 60% Fe, 6.4% SiO2 and 3.4% Al2O3 with a mass recovery of 83% on crushing to -32mm and simple wet screening at +1mm size. A subsequent review of drill logs from Strike's previous drilling campaigns3 along the northern edge of the hematite ridge at Paulsens East has confirmed that a number of drill holes encountered iron rich loose scree within the first few meters from surface. Remaining holes were either drilled in weathered bedrock or too close to bedrock with no significant loose surficial material. Detrital iron ore deposits are formed by weathering and erosion of outcropping iron mineralization, with such eroded material often being found at the base of outcropping ridges of mineralized rock (as at Paulsens East) presenting itself as pebbles and fine gravel mixed up with soil and alluvium. The technique for mining and upgrading detrital iron ore typically includes simple excavation (e.g. using a bulldozer and with a front end loader) and minor crushing to required top size together with relatively inexpensive dry or wet screening. Because the detrital material is already broken and reduced in size, strip ratios are exceptionally low and no drilling or blasting would typically be required. Thus, potential exists for significant savings in the cost of mining surface detrital materials, compared to mining normal bedrock deposits. Strike is planning to test the potential extent and quality of the detrital material at Paulsens East with a sampling programme (to be undertaken in October 2020) of up to 120 pits to be dug over an area approximately 2,700 meters long east to west by an average 100 -150 meters wide north to south, totaling approximately 32 hectares.
