Fairmont Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FMR) ("Fairmont" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that the Company has begun a reconnaissance prospecting and
soil sampling program on its Marmion South Property (the "Property"), located
near Atikokan, Ontario, and contiguous with Osisko Mining Corporation's (TSX
VENTURE:OSK) "Osisko" Hammond Reef Property. The work program will test several
key northeast trending structures with in the Marmion Batholith identified
during the 2011 airborne geophysical survey (See Press Release March 6th 2012)
in preparation for a drill program to be conducted later this fall.


The northeast-trending structures identified by the 2011 geophysical survey
correlate favourably with trends observed in Osisko's Hammond Reef property to
the north. Osisko's Hammond Reef deposit (530.6M tons at an average grade of
0.62 g/t gold for 10.5 million ounces and based on a cut off of 0.30 g/t
gold(i)) is related to the northeast-trending Marmion Shear; numerous historic
gold occurrences in the Marmion Batholith are associated with similar parallel
northeast structures.


(i)43-101 compliant global inferred resource (see Osisko press release Nov. 7 2011).

Of particular interest during this program is the southwest extension of the
northeast-trending Jack Lake-Pettigrew Shear. The high-grade, granite-hosted
Jack Lake gold deposit, located 1 kilometer north of the Property, was
discovered in 1878, saw limited production from 1899-1902, and currently hosts a
historical, non 43-101 compliant resource of 8,910 tons grading 15.53 g/t for
4,000 ounces.

Fairmont has an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Marmion South Property,

Batholith gold district near Atikokan, Ontario. The Marmion South Property is

0.62 g/t gold for 10.5 million ounces and based on a cut off of 0.30 g/t gold.
