SnapshotStrike's Apurimac Iron Ore Project in Peru is recognised as one of the highest grade, large scale magnetite projects in the world.

Strike has completed two shipments (to Chinese and South American Steel Mills) of high-grade (+65% Fe) Apurimac Premium Lump DSO in calendar 2021.

Strike is investigating further shipments from Peru, subject to satisfaction with a number of matters including negotiation of an acceptable price (referenced to the benchmark iron ore price) and Strike securing sufficient working capital to fund production to this end.
