ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

30 January 2017

Quarterly Report For the period ending 31 December 2016

Corporate

During the quarter the Company announced significant changes to the Board with the appointment of Mr Neil Warburton and Mr David McAdam as independent non-executive directors and Mr Michael Wolley and Mr Evan Davies as non-executive directors. Mr Kevin Malaxos and Mr Ewan Vickery retired as non- executive directors of the Company. Subsequent to his appointment to the Board, Mr Warburton was appointed as the Company's chairman with effect from 20 December 2016. Mr Robert Kennedy remains on the Board.

Strategic Review

As announced at the 2016 Annual General Meeting of the Company on 30 November 2016, Mr David McAdam, who has extensive project design and construction experience, was appointed to lead a detailed independent, strategic review of the Pilbara Iron Ore Project (PIOP) including to assess the various possible future development options for the PIOP, the likely economic viability and timing of such development options, sources and availability of funding for such development options and the development of a strategy to sell the PIOP products to Asian markets. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on 25 January 2017, Flinders provided an update to shareholders on the status of the strategic review of the PIOP.

Funding

During the quarter Flinders completed a 1:10 non-renounceable entitlement offer (Entitlement Offer) successfully raising $4,184,989 (before issue costs). Subscribers to the Entitlement Offer included major shareholders TIO (NZ) Limited and OCJ Investment (Australia) Pty Ltd. Part of the proceeds raised by the Entitlement Offer was utilized to repay a loan (including interest) from PIO Mines Pty Ltd (a subsidiary of TIO (NZ) Limited). At the end of the quarter, Flinders held cash of $3.17m.

Projects Update

During the quarter the Federal Government Department of the Environment and Energy granted Flinders conditional approval for the development of an expanded operation at the PIOP. This approval allows the development of additional mine pits and infrastructure such as external access roads, airport, ore processing facility, power station, accommodation camp and tailings storage facility. These changes allow an increase in the production of iron ore from 15Mtpa to 25Mtpa. The approval, which has effect until 31 December 2037, is subject to certain conditions, all of which are acceptable to Flinders. The environmental approval, an important primary approval milestone for the project, demonstrates that the PIOP can be developed in an environmentally acceptable manner.
