Overview
During the September 2015 quarter, Copper Strike Limited (ASX: CSE, 'Copper Strike' or 'the Company') renounced its entitlements in the Syrah Resources Institutional Entitlement Offer. The renounced entitlements were sold via the institutional bookbuild, with the proceeds from the sale in excess of the Offer Price returned to renouncing shareholders. Copper Strike received proceeds of approximately $578,948 on 13th August 2015 in relation to the renounced entitlements.

Syrah Shareholding
During the Quarter, Copper Strike enunciated its strategy with respect to its shareholding in Syrah Resources Limited (ASX: SYR). The Company is pleased with progress being made at Syrah in relation to its Balama Graphite Project. Copper Strike owns 11 million shares in Syrah, which is a holding of just under 5%.
The Company notes that Syrah raised $211 million in equity capital via an underwritten placement and rights issue. This raising allows Syrah to progress immediately into construction of its mine, processing plant and associated infrastructure to ensure production is targeted for early 2017.
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 and its proposed vanadium processing facility at Balama.
Copper Strike believes that the share price of Syrah has considerable upside now that the equity capital raising has been completed, construction commences and Syrah releases further details in relation to its dealings with its offtake partners and other
