other factors that may cause actual results, performance and achievements to be materially greater or less
than estimated. These may include, but are not limited to, changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange
fluctuations and general economic conditions, increased costs and demand for production inputs, the
speculative nature of exploration and project development (including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses
and permits and diminishing quantities or grades of reserves), political and social risks, changes to the
regulatory framework within which Strike operate or may in the future operate, environmental conditions
including extreme weather conditions, geological and geotechnical events, and other environmental issues,
the recruitment and retention of key personnel, industrial relations issues, litigation and outbreaks of disease
or pandemics (including the continuation or escalation of the global COVID-19 pandemic).
Any such forward looking statements are based on assumptions, qualifications and contingencies which are
subject to change and which may ultimately prove to be materially incorrect, as are statements about market
and industry trends, which are based on interpretations of current market conditions. Investors should
consider any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation in light of such matters (and their
inherent uncertainty) and not place reliance on such statements. Forward looking statements are not
guarantees or predictions of future performance and may involve significant elements of subjective judgment,
assumptions as to future events that may not be correct, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors, many of which are outside the control of Strike. Any forward-looking statements are based on
information available to Strike as at the date of this presentation. Refer to the risk factors starting on page 31 of
