    Mineral Exploration Activities

    The Board intends to seek opportunities to divest the Company's existing exploration assets.

    The Company currently manages and operates one exploration project, namely the Collurabbie Project. It has an interest in three other projects which are subject to sale or joint venture (Saxby, Windanning Hill & Deleta) and are managed by other parties.

  • The Collurabbie Project is the Company's most advanced project and contains significant but to date sub­ economic nickel mineralisation (Olympia Prospect) . The project is 200 km north of Laverton in the Duketon Greenstone Belt of Western Australia. The Company and its former JV partners have been exploring the project area for more than a decade and have completed airborne and ground geophysical surveys, surface geochemical surveys and a high volume of drilling. The Company has a 100% interest in this project with BHPB retaining an option over the off-take rights to any ore or concentrate produced.

    During the quarter, the Company surrendered a number of mineral leases deemed non-strategic. It has retained two exploration licences that cover the most prospective ground and includes the Olympia Prospect. The Company has commenced preliminary discussions regarding the sale of the project and expects to make a decision on the divestment in the next month or so. Any sale will be subject to the completion of the acquisition of Albion 30.

  • Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the sale of the Saxby Project (EPM 15398) to Strategic Energy Resources Limited (Strategic) was completed . The transfer of tenure was approved on 5 July 2016 by QLD DNRM. The Company has been issued 3,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in Strategic and Falcon retains a 1.5% net smelter return royalty in the event that Strategic commences mining at the Saxby Project. The Saxby Project is 165 km north-northeast of Cloncurry in the Gulf Country of northwest Queensland and contains the Lucky Squid gold prospect.

  • The Company has agreed to sell its interest in the Windanning Hill Project to its joint venture partner Minjar Gold Pty Ltd (Minjar Gold) for $112,500. The project is located 75km southeast of Yalgoo and consists of two Mining Leases (M59/379 and M59/380) and includes the Keronima gold deposit. Transfer of title and payment is expected this quarter. Falcon will retain no interest in the project.

  • Regis Resources Limited is the operator and manager of the Deleta Joint Venture which began in September 1998 . The project is located within the northern parts of the Duketon greenstone belt (and immediately south of the Company's Collurabbie Project) and is considered prospective for gold and nickel. The Company retains a 20% free carried interest to completion of a feasibility study.

There were no major field activities completed on the Company's project during the quarter. General

During the quarter $11,000 was spent on exploration activities. The mining tenements held at the end of the

quarter and their location is listed in Table 2.
