ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

Quarterly Report For the period ending 31 March 2017

Corporate

During the quarter the Company appointed non-executive director Mr David McAdam to the position of interim executive director to manage the day to day operations. Mr McAdam led the Board's Strategic Review Committee and successfully completed the detailed strategic review of Flinders' Pilbara Iron Ore Project (PIOP) during the quarter.

The Company is in the process of transitioning its corporate headquarters from Adelaide to Perth.

Strategic Review

At the end of the quarter Flinders announced the completion of the independent strategic review of the PIOP. The review, which consisted of a detailed analysis of the PIOP, concluded that:

  • the PIOP resource potentially provides for the development of an iron ore mine, however further detailed understanding of mine planning and metallurgy is required to confirm the ability for the mine to operate at an economic production rate;

  • the optimal production rate for PIOP is ~ 45 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) at ~ 59% Fe for a mine life in excess of 14 years, subject to an economically viable infrastructure solution being secured;

  • an asset maturation phase needs to be completed to confirm a number of technical assumptions and uncertainties and to form a solid basis for progression to a feasibility study.

The Board fully supports the strategic review recommendations. As announced on 31 March, an asset maturation phase will be conducted in CY2017 (subject to funding) to mature the PIOP ahead of any feasibility study.

To fund this work, the Company intends to launch an Entitlement Issue, further details in respect of which will be announced in due course.

Financial

At the quarter end, the Company had $2.088m in cash and no debt.
