Fairmont Clarifies Cease Trade Order

Fairmont Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FMR) ("Fairmont" or the "Company") reports
that the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") has suspended trading in the
Company's securities as a result of a cease trade order ("CTO") issued by the
British Columbia Securities Commission prior to market open today. 


The cease trade order was issued due to an administrative error by the Company
which resulted in failure to file interim financial statements and Form
51-102F1, (Management's Discussion & Analysis) for the financial period ending
January 31st 2013. Efforts are currently underway to correct this error, and the
Company anticipates filing an application of reinstatement of trading with the
objective that trading can commence as early as possible following the
revocation of the cease trade order.
