Buttercup Ilmenite-Magnetite Property

The 28 claims Buttercup property are located thirty kilometres north of Chicoutimi Quebec and twelve kilometres south of the recently acquired Lac Elan claims. In 1964 the Bersimis Mining Company, calculated a historical "drilled indicated tonnage" on lens "A" and lens "B" located within the Property (Table 1.). Both lenses where drill tested were shallower than 30m below surface.

The historical "drilled indicated tonnage" cited above is mentioned for historical purposes only and uses terminology not compliant with current NI 43-101 reporting standards. The reliability of these historical estimates is unknown but considered relevant by Fairmont as it represents significant targets for future exploration. The qualified person has not reviewed all pertinent original documents or done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource and Fairmont is not treating this historical estimate as a current mineral resource. Historical "drilled indicated tonnage" is not equivalent to mineral reserves or resources as it is not supported by at least a preliminary feasibility study. In order to verify this as a current estimate, Fairmont will need to conduct additional exploration work in the form of diamond drilling to verify the historic data.

Lac Elan Property

Fairmont is also pleased to announce that it has obtained TSX Venture Exchange acceptance of its option agreement with Elanore Resources Inc. to acquire a 100% interest in the Lac Elan Property. In accordance with the terms of the option agreement, Fairmont issued 1,000,000 common shares to Elanore Resources Inc. and will be required to incur $100,000 of exploration expenditures by the second anniversary.

Fairmont also issued 100,000 common shares to a finder in connection with the transaction.
