words such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “continue”, and “guidance”, or other similar words and may include, without limitation,
statements in this presentation regarding intent, belief, expectations, plans, strategies and objectives of management, indications of and guidance on synergies, future

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).

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. Except as required by law or regulation (including the ASX Listing Rules),

information, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise (including to reflect any change in expectations or assumptions).
Nothing in this presentation will, under any circumstances (including by reason of this presentation remaining available and not being superseded or replaced by any
other presentation or publication with respect to Strike or any other matter the subject matter of this presentation), create an implication that there has been no
change in the affairs of Strike since the date of this presentation.
