Completion of Emmaus and Blackstone transactions
The March quarter was a productive period for Fitzroy as we continued to progress our understanding of Emmaus and Blackstone and we completed the acquisition of both properties.
Completion of the Acquisition of Emmaus and Blackstone
During the period, Fitzroy Resources Limited (“Fitzroy” or “the Company”) exercised and completed the option to acquire the Emmaus and Blackstone projects in West Virginia, USA. The options were acquired when Fitzroy acquired Premier Coking Coal Limited in December 2013.
In accordance with the option agreement, Fitzroy issued 7.5 million Fitzroy ordinary shares to the owners of Emmaus Partners and 2.5 million Fitzroy ordinary shares to owners of Blackstone Corporation. Fitzroy will also pay the final US$250,000 to the owners of Emmaus Partners.
Fitzroy will continue to assess further acquisitions in the vicinity of both properties.
Completion of Placement and Rights Issue
In February, Fitzroy completed its Non-Renounceable Rights Issue (“Rights Issue”) that was announced on 23 December 2013. The Rights Issue was offered on the basis of two new Shares for every five Shares held, each at an issue price of $0.035. It was completed and all shortfall shares were allotted following receipt of funds from underwriters. The company raised proceeds of $1,029,000 from the Rights Issue.
Fitzroy also issued 7,142,857 ordinary shares to sophisticated investors during the period at an issue price of $0.035, raising $250,000.
Funds raised from the Rights Issue will be used to progress the Company’s projects including the recently acquired coking coal assets in the USA.

Exploration Success
Fitzroy announced continued exploration success during the period at the Emmaus property. Two deep holes (PCC-14-14 and PCC-F2-14) were completed to compliment hole PCC-13-13 (announced 6 December 2013). A five hole program at Blackstone is still underway.
Hole PCC-14-14 was particularly successful this period. It intersected 3.0 feet (0.9m) of Beckley seam before confirming the presence of the Fire Creek seam on the Emmaus property when it intersected 3.2 feet (1.0m).
The holes were e-logged to confirm the intersection widths and geologically logged by Cardno MM&A, who provide Fitzroy with geological support.
Fitzroy is aware that both these seams are present on adjoining properties but prior to PCC-14-14, a mineable thickness of the Fire Creek seam had not been confirmed at Emmaus in the first two drill holes completed to depth on the property.
Drilling Program Results and Discussion
The drilling results for the period are shown below in Table 1. With the completion of PCC-14-14 we now have confirmation that not only is the Beckley seam (also known as War Creek seam) present at Emmaus, but that the Fire Creek seam is present with a mineable thickness.
The success of these two holes has given management of Fitzroy encouragement that our aim to delineate a meaningful Coal Resource at depth is even more achievable with the presence of a second seam (Fire Creek) only 140 feet below the Beckley seam.

TABLE 1 – EMMAUS DEEP DRILL PROGRAM RESULTS – ALL HOLES WERE DRILLED VERTICALLY (NO AZIMUTH TO REPORT) WITH NQ-SIZED DRILL BIT
Quality Confirmed
The quality data was announced 24 February 2014 and confirmed historic data and reaffirmed the company’s view that the coal at Emmaus is of a high quality mid volatile hard coking coal brand.
As part of our efforts to delineate a Coal Reserve at Emmaus and Blackstone, Fitzroy has commissioned an independent marketing study. The study will supply valuable information to be used to optimise our coal sales strategy and in the short term, as modifying factors in the conversion of any future Coal Resources to Coal Reserve.
Blackstone Drilling
The next stage of our drilling program is at Blackstone and at the time of writing, the final hole is almost complete. This drilling will be important as it is the location of our mining permit and we intend it to be the location of our first underground mine.
