Fairmont Resources Inc. Receives Extension for Grabasa Acquisition

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Dec. 28, 2016) - Fairmont Resources Inc. ("Fairmont") (TSX VENTURE:FMR) is pleased to announce it has received an extension to complete the payment for Granitos de Badajoz ("Grabasa") until February 22, 2017 from the Spanish Court in Badajoz.

"We are optimistic that a financing solution is close at hand for completing the acquisition of Grabasa. With imports increasing 10.9% for worked granite into the United States from Spain in the 3^rd Quarter 2016 versus 3^rd Quarter 2015 when other countries have seen large decreases, other than China, we see an acceptance of Spanish product into the United States market, and for Grabasa this is a new large target market" states Michael Dehn, President and CEO of Fairmont Resources.

The U.S. imports of Worked Granite (sawn, one-side polished), a key product produced at Grabasa when last in operation, have generally fallen for most producing nations other that Spain where there was a 10.9% increase, and China where there was a 0.3% increase.
