QUARTERLY REPORT ON ACTIVITIES

July to September 2016

Overview

During the Quarter the Company continued with its plan to keep operating costs at a minimum, while holding its investment in Syrah Resources Limited (ASX: SYR) as Syrah continues towards development.

On 6 September 2016, the Company announced the resignation of Mr Tom Eadie as Non-Executive Chairman and Director of the Company, and announced the appointment of Mr Harry Hatch as a Non-Executive Director of the Company.

Harry is a substantial shareholder in the Company, holding 19.99% of the issued capital.

Copper Strike currently has no exploration interests.

Syrah Shareholding

Copper Strike owns 11 million shares in Syrah Resources Limited, which is a holding of 4.2%. The Company continues to be pleased with progress being made at Syrah in relation to its Balama Graphite Project. Copper Strike notes that Syrah completed a

$194 million capital raising via a placement in June 2016, along with a previous capital raising via an underwritten placement and rights issue in August 2015 raising $211 million. These raisings have allowed Syrah to progress immediately into construction of its mine, processing plant and associated infrastructure to ensure production is targeted for Q2 2017. In addition, the more recent raising will allow Syrah to accelerate its spherical graphite strategy in response to significant market demand.

Copper Strike strongly supports the Syrah strategy in relation to the development of the Balama Project and furthering studies in relation to its proposed spherical graphite processing facilities in the United States and Mozambique.

Copper Strike believes that the share price of Syrah has considerable upside now that the equity capital raising has been completed, construction has commenced and Syrah continues to release further details in relation to its dealings with its offtake partners and other stakeholders. As such the directors are of the view that it is in shareholders' best interests for the Company to continue to hold this investment to ensure that the

potential upside in relation to the development of the world class Balama Project is reflected within the Syrah share price.

The Company notes the announcement made by Syrah on 9 September 2016 in relation to construction progress at Balama being 42.6% complete and on schedule. In addition Syrah announced on 5 October 2016 the resignation of its Managing Director, Mr Tolga Kumova. Syrah noted in this announcement that Mr Kumova's resignation was part of a transition reflecting the evolving strategic direction of the Company and the key development activities it is currently undertaking.

Administration

Expenditure for the Quarter was $138,000. As of 30 June 2016 Copper Strike had approximately $663,000 in the bank. Expenditure going forward is expected to be less than $100,000 per Quarter, excluding one off items.
