Kurnalpi (South) Gold Project – Area 9

BackgroundThe Kurnalpi South group of prospects are located 5 km south-west of the Kurnalpi Townsite (Figure 1). Previous drilling at the

Area 9 Prospect intersected several gold intercepts greater than 2 metres, varying from 3.5g/t gold to 19.6g/t gold.

As a result of this encouraging information, the Company drilled a total of 2379 metres of RC percussion along 25 holes during

March and April. From this drilling, samples at 1 metre intervals were collected and analysed for gold, at the Kalassay Group’s

Kalgoorlie laboratory.

Estimation of Gold MineralisationDuring the reporting period a study of all available information on the Area 9 Prospect (using a “cross-sectional approach”) to

estimate the extent of gold mineralisation at the Prospect was undertaken by experienced Australian gold industry consulting

geologist, L J Molloy.

MineralisationThe gold mineralisation at Area 9 occurs in discrete lenses with limited continuity. The mineralisation has a north-south trend,

dipping to the west and plunging to the north west over a strike length of 250 metres with a width of 80 metres. (However, moving

from south to north the mineralisation appears to flatten in dip).

Quarterly Report for period ending 30 September 2007

Estimation criteriaThe following points define the criteria used for this mineralisation assessment. The assumptions made and limitations placed on

the data are also given.

• The assessment results are based upon a cross-sectional interpretation of 38 holes (3,362 metres RC and 50 metres RABpercussion) drilled by Fairstar Resources and earlier explorers up to 30 September 2008.

• The analytical procedures are those generally followed by Western Australia’s gold exploration and mining industry. All assaysresults are reported on a grams per tonne (g/t) gold basis unless otherwise stated.

• Oblique drilling results of earlier explorers were projected on to the nearest cross section.

• Cross sections used are 20 metres apart

• The sectional influence used is half-way distance to the adjacent section

• The estimate is based on a tonnage factor of 2.5t/m3. Depending on the host rock condition (fresh or weathered) this tonnagefactor may be slightly high or slightly low. However, one exception to this rule was mineralisation in drill hole FKL24 wheregold (22.93g/t) is associated with massive sulphide. In this case tonnage factor of 3.5t/m3 was used.

Comments

• “This estimate has been prepared as a progress report and both in quantity and grade, is conceptual only in nature.”Further, it is based on sharp (clean) boundaries between the various material types in contact with the gold mineralisation.

• The estimated mineralised mass is not a resource estimate and “both in quantity and grade, is conceptual only in nature.”

• The reported mineralised mass is the mass of material, in place, that meets the cut-off criteria.

Figure 2: Area 9 drill hole location plan

Estimated Mineralised MassUsing the above parameters, at a cut-off of 1.0g/t gold, the total mass of gold mineralisation for Area 9 is estimated to be in the

range of 90,000 to 93,000t @ 6.5 to 7.0g/t gold.

At a cut-off of 0.5g/t gold the mass of gold mineralisation for the same area is estimated to be in the range of 90,000 to 95,000t

@ 6.0 to 6.68g/t gold. In practical terms, the estimates at two different cut-offs are very close and fall within the error of estimation.

Proposed workThe gold intercepts intersected both by previous and current Fairstar exploration drilling at Area 9 are highly encouraging.

Moreover, the gold mineralisation is open down dip at depth and along strike. In view of the encouraging results of 2008 drilling,

to test the down plunging strike extension of the gold mineralisation, a programme of 2,200 metres (2000 metres RC percussion

and 200 metres diamond) is planned for the area.

On completion of this drilling the Company plans to complete a JORC compliant resource estimation for the Prospect.

Iron discovery at Kurnalpi Project

Fairstar’s iron discovery is located about 110km east of Kalgoorlie (in tenement E28/1672) and is part of the Company’s Kurnalpi

Project in WA’s Eastern Goldfields. The area has previously been well known for its gold prospectivity.

This iron discovery is the first of its kind in the area. The discovery is in close proximity to major rail infrastructure, with the Trans

Australian Railway passing 23km south of the tenement area (Figure 1). The Company named the discovery “Mahendra’s Find”

The Company has a 100% interest in E28/1766 and in regards to E28/1672 holds the precious metal rights and retains a first to

last rights of refusal to purchase for all other minerals.

GeologyThe host rock of the iron discovery is a banded iron formation (BIF) confined to the Steeple Hill Syncline and is in excess of 15km

in length and has a north-south orientation. It is highly folded and faulted. To date four bands of BIFs varying from 10 metres to

100 metres in width have been identified (Figure 3). The area is highly weathered and extensively covered by colluvium and

laterite. As a result rock outcrops in the area are limited.

Work performedThe work carried out during the reporting period included; reconnaissance field visits and collection and analysis of 216 grab/rock

chip samples for iron (Fe) and related elements. Results of 178 samples received to date are shown in Table 1.

Proposed workDuring coming months, the Company will continue with further rock chip sampling and will also conduct more confirmatory work,

via the acquisition and analysis of available open file data, geological and regolith mapping. It will also engage geophysical

consultants to undertake airborne magnetic and radiometric survey and data interpretation.

This activity will be followed by a drilling program and then a resource estimation.

Oil and Gas Exploration

BackgroundOn 3rd July 2007, Fairstar entered into a Farm-in Agreement with Knight Industries Pty Ltd (Knight) for oil and gas exploration in

Section 1 of Knight’s Petroleum Exploration Permit (PEP) 165 near the town of Sea Lake in north west Victoria (Figures 4 and 5).

The first Well was named Sea Lake 1 Well (Figure 5).

Hunt Energy and Mineral Co Australia Pty Ltd and Robert L Williams Jr, (a Certified Petroleum Geologist (AAPG-DPA 4563) of

Imperial Oil Properties Inc, USA) were responsible for drilling operations and geological supervision respectively.

Drilling of Sea Lake 1 Well commenced on 22nd June 2008 and drilled to a depth of 606 metres before drilling ceased on 13 July

2008.

AnticipationThe drilling site for Sea Lake 1 Well was based on a survey conducted by Knight Industries using Knight’s owned and developed

the KDLS Mark 32 remote sensing equipment. The mapping indicated the presence of twin reservoirs over an aerial extent of a

minimum of 910 hectares with a total oil pay zone ranging from 142 metres to 191 metres in thickness (average was 159 metres).

The survey suggested the reservoirs were trapped in a faulted anticline at a relatively shallow depth. Knight Industries determined

pay elevations around the perimeter of the Sea Lake Prospect (as shown in Figures 6 and 7).

Progress During the reporting period, the Sea Lake 1 Well progressed from 335 metres to 606 metres, for a total progression of 271 metres.

Due to drilling difficulties the drilling operation was terminated at 606m.

Geological Column DrilledThe geologic section drilled in Sea Lake 1 is composed of Siluro/Devonian crystalline rocks as a base, capped withmetasediments, primarily welded quartzite, and then covered with a thin veneer (at 320+ metres) of Paleocene/Eocene and thenMiocene strata. The Cainozoic (tertiary) strata were almost entirely composed of clastics with the exception of some very thinlimestones found between 180 metres and 190 metres and again from 270 metres to 295 metres.

ReservoirThe drilling operation intersected several sandy packages, which were seen as potential hydrocarbon zones, from 230 metres to290 metres. In general, the major part of this sandy interval was less developed. However, within this segment, from 240 metresto 257 metres, a high quality, developed reservoir in the Warina Sand (Renmark) was intersected.

The base of the 12 ¼” drilling interval was located directly within the Warina Sand section, but due to adverse hole conditions,at 180 metres, the drilling operators were unable to case-off the hole. This exposed the drilling to mud invasion, cementcontamination and a hole-diameter change. A subsequent mechanical failure resulted in the Warina Sandstone remaininguntested.

Reservoir CharacteristicThe Warina Sandstone is extraordinarily clean and friable, and is mostly fine to medium grained with some coarse, sub-angularto sub-rounded, partly frosted (with some translucent to transparent) well-sorted quartz sandstone. It also contains somesiliceous cement. It has very good visible inter-granular porosity, and is highly permeable (at least in part, locally).

A modest but definite show of C1 (methane) natural gas was registered on the gas chromatograph whilst drilling. This gas showmaximised at slightly over 100ppm at 242 metres and disappeared when the drill finished at 257 metres. The thickness of thetotal Warina Sand, with gas show, was around 17 metres. With the exception of a trace of coal found at 215 metres, no othervalid hydrocarbon shows were detected in the Sea Lake 1 Well. Also, no oil staining, free oil or odour was present, and nofluorescence was detected.

ConclusionsFrom the drill program at Sea Lake 1 Well the following conclusions were drawn:

• Drilling at Sea Lake 1 Well intersected a hydrocarbon zone containing C1 (methane) natural gas at a shallower depth (240metres to 257 metres) than was anticipated.

• The presence of hydrocarbon in the form of methane in the Warina Sand (Reservoir) is highly significant.

• Seal required for hydrocarbon preservation is present in the form of Geera Clay, intersected at 70 metres in the Sea Lake 1Well. As per available information, the Geera Clay is ubiquitous in the area.

• Based on the evaluation of the Warina Sandstone characteristics, it was concluded (by Robert L Williams Jr.) that the WarinaSandstone is a high quality, developed reservoir in the Sea Lake Prospect area.

OutlookRobert L Williams Jr. provided the following comments on the prospect of finding a quality hydrocarbon reservoir in the area:

Further drilling in the area may prove even thicker sequences in the geologic time interval. The C1-methane "show" found at SeaLake 1 was, at best, a modest indicator of hydrocarbons within the system. The "show" never exceeded 200 part per millionwhich is not even 1 unit on the Geoservices Log scale. Measurable gas flows would not be expected from this interval and iftested would almost certainly be “TSTM" (too small to measure). However, the presence of methane in the Warina Sand ishighly significant and should not be dismissed or discounted.

The report on the drilling operations will be studied over the coming months and an appropriate future course of action will beplanned.
