LonyerGreenCooper to Test Fairmont DSO Lump Titano-Magnetite

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 7, 2014) - Fairmont Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FMR) (FRSSF) (F0O1.F) ("Fairmont") is pleased to announce it has shipped DSO Lump Titano-Magnetite from its 100% owned Buttercup Property near Saguenay, Quebec, to a test facility for LonyerGreenCooper Trading Co. Ltd.("LonyerGreenCooper").

LonyerGreenCooper was formed in 2013 as a joint venture between Lonyer Fuels Co., Ltd, a listed company in the Shanghai Stock Exchange and GreenCooper (Shanghai) Investment Management Limited.

Fairmont has shipped an initial 7.6 kg sample to a laboratory selected by LonyerGreenCooper for independent testing. If required, an additional 50kg sample would be shipped following the initial sample test results. Based on positive test results, LonyerGreenCooper has expressed interest in 60,000 tonnes of DSO Lump Titano-Magnetite, and if their customer's acceptance of the product is well received, discussion would begin for a three year offtake agreement, for potentially 100% of DSO Lump Titano-Magnetite production from the Buttercup Property.

"Discussions with LonyerGreenCooper have brought us to the point where they are testing material from our Buttercup property at an independent facility in China that verifies their products. As we continue the permitting process we are also working to find customers in the aggregate, cement and blast furnace industries" states Michael Dehn, President and CEO of Fairmont.

Fairmont acquired the Buttercup property with an Exclusive Lease to Mine Surface Mineral Substances, BEX 1270, which covers a surface area of 15.3 hectares.

Fairmont's Quebec properties cover numerous occurrences of high-grade titaniferous magnetite with vanadium. Where these occurrences have been tested they have display exceptional uniformity with respect to grade. These occurrences are of considerable interest due to their proximity to tide water, with the Grand Anse Sea Terminal at the Port of Saguenay located within 100km of all of Fairmont's properties.

Any decision to commence production at the Buttercup Property will not be based on a NI 43-101 mineral resource or reserve estimate, a pre-feasibility study or feasibility study. In the event that Fairmont commences operations, there is no assurance that Fairmont will be able to commercially extract DSO Lump Titano-Magnetite.
