Fairmont Resources Inc. (TSX VENTUER:FMR) ("Fairmont" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that the Company has conducted a follow up prospecting
program based on the results of summer field program on its Marmion South
Property (the "Property"), located near Atikokan, Ontario, and contiguous with
Osisko Mining Corporation's ("Osisko") Hammond Reef Property (see Press Release
September 26th, 2012). Results of the follow up program are pending.


The prospecting program focused on results returned from summer field work on
the southwest extension of the northeast-trending Jack Lake-Pettigrew trend. 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
hosts several historical, non 43-101 compliant resources calculations, the most
recent comprising 8,910 tons grading 15.53 g/t for 4,000 ounces. 


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)                                                          



In addition prospecting was under taken in the greenstone hosted White Lake area
located in the southwest portion of the property. Sampling by Fairmont in 2011
at the White Lake occurrence returned up to 6.18 g/t gold and very limited
historic drilling in the 1980s returned up to 0.45 g/t over 7.78 meters. The
White Lake occurrence represents the western most extension of an east-west
trending, greenstone hosted, gold trend on the property. Over 8 km of this trend
is covered by the property. The eastern most extension of this trend encompasses
the past producing Atiko-Sapawe Gold mine located just 250m from the western
property boundary. The Atiko-Sapawe gold mine operated from 1963 to 1966 and
produced 4,955 ounces at 5.15 g/t and hosts a historic, non 43-101 compliant
resource of 10,600 ounces at 8.0 g/t.


Maps and figures detailing the work performed during the summer program are
