Highlights for the September 2014 Quarter:
• Tenement Performance Bonds retired from DMP, as per the Mines Rehabilitation Fund entry
• Continued progress on achieving funding for the
Steeple Hill Iron Project
• Data entry and validation for the Kurnalpi project has continued and nears completion
• Company enters into Convertible Note Agreement totalling AUD 10,000,000
During the June Quarter, FairStar submitted all environmental tenement disturbance data into the Department of Mines & Petroleum's (DMP), Mine Rehabilitation Fund (MRF).
With this data submitted and all required rehabilitation work satisfactorily completed, the DMP, through the MRF have retired all current performance bonds which were in place for the Steeple Hill Iron Project tenements.
Previously reported, the Company has been compiling an extensive database for the Kurnalpi Gold Project. The data being entered into the database and then verified has consisted of the Company's historic exploration data for the whole Kurnalpi area. The data entry and validation is nearing completion with Kurnalpi East and Kurnalpi South completed and only the Kurnalpi North - Halfway Hill data to be completed. With this data correctly entered and verified, future exploration can be accurately and efficiently planned which will enable the best use of exploration funds.
Quarterly Report for period ending 30 September 2014
During the Quarter, the Company has continued to aggressively pursue, with the assistance of Creafin & Associates, the required financing to enable the project to move forward into production.
Due to circumstances beyond the Company's control, the pilot test work on the SHIP ore has not yet commenced. It is envisaged that during the coming Quarter, this test work will commence which will enable the Company to continue with the necessary planning and engineering of the process plant for the Steeple Hill Iron Project.
As a matter subsequent to 30th September 2014, FairStar is pleased to confirm that the Company has signed a Convertible Note
Agreement with I-World International Group Limited (I-World), of Taiwan. They have committed to invest up to
$ 10,000,000.00 over the coming weeks. In negotiating the Agreement and I-World seeking to convert their investment into equity, the Company reached a difficult situation given the current share price. FairStar persisted in providing I-World with a deeper understanding of the Steeple Hill Iron Project and the future prospects for FairStar. In the end, the Company is pleased to report, that I-World have agreed to convert the first 5 million at a rate of 1.6 cents per share and the second 5 Million at 2.0 cents per share. This should provide the Company's shareholders with an indication of the potential, viability and promise that the Steeple Hill Iron Project returns to us all. The issue of the Notes to enable I-World to convert to shares is subject to shareholder approval, which the Company is seeking, as announced on 28 October in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.
FairStar will use the funds, from I-World, for working capital purposes, retirement of debt and development of the Steeple Hill Iron
Project.
During October, the Company became aware that four Plaints had been lodged against the Steeple Hill Iron Project tenements. The Company would like to take this opportunity to assure its Shareholders that all necessary procedures have been taken, to protect the Company's interests and will inform of the outcome in due course. Further to this, the Company confirms that all necessary reporting and expenditure requirements have been satisfied as required by the DMP.
All other tenements held by or managed by the Company are in good standing, as per the requirements of the DMP.

About FairStar Resources
Background, FairStar - A New Horizon:
FairStar was listed in October 2006 and is a unique Perth-based uranium and gold explorer; and upon discovering Iron mineralisation at Lindsay's Dam commenced with its major Steeple Hill Iron Project (SHIP) that is strategically located near existing transport infra-structure with a clear and unencumbered path to production for relatively low capital expenditure.
FairStar will fast track development and production of its high-value Steeple Hill Iron Project with significant Indicated Resource estimate of hematite rich gravels, which produces a hematite fraction of Direct Shipping Ore to deliver immediate and substantial cash flows.
Significantly, FairStar believes it will be cash flow positive from its first year of production at SHIP.
This will be used to increase shareholder value and fund further high-value projects such as the gold tenements at Kurnalpi and Duchess of York
- Hickmans Find, along with uranium at Mt Padbury.
FairStar has an extensive portfolio of projects straddling 562 Km2 and remains committed to an aggressive expansion campaign to bolster its resource inventory and quickly transition the company from a junior explorer to a highly competitive producer of iron ore, gold and uranium.
