ASX: FYI

QUARTERLY REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDING 31 December 2015

HIGHLIGHTS

Advanced Joint Venture production negotiations are being finalised

Lao project concession application and feasibility submitted

Additional Thailand and Laos opportunities are advancing

Receipt of $1,000,000 cash from non-core asset sale

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Overview

FYI Resources (ASX: FYI ) is a Southeast Asian focused potash explorer with the corporate objective of establishing and developing a significant potash presence in the region.

FYI has established two separate in-country teams in Thailand and Lao for each distinct potash exploration and development strategy. Both country management teams are well connected at Government and Mines Department level as well as having excellent technical and administration capabilities to undertake and supervise the required tenement submissions and subsequent project development work.

Potash Activities

Laos

Joint Venture on potential production

FYI has been in discussions with an owner of a significant potash asset in Laos in respect to project development and potential production opportunities.

During the quarter, FYI undertook a corporate head office visit of the owner and subsequent hosted site visit to review the targeted project area and infrastructure. FYI assembled a group of potash technical experts (including geology, metallurgy /processing and marketing) to provide FYI with additional specialist advice on the assets.

Based on the series of visits, FYI is continuing due diligence and advancing discussions regarding a collaborative Joint Venture for developing and expanding the project.

FYI hopes to formalise an agreement shortly in respect to this project and partner.

Potash Concession Submission

As previously reported, FYI has made a submission to the Laos Government regarding a significant concession area in the Khammouane Province, Southeast of Vientiane.

The submission was accepted by the Lao government resulting in a request for a higher level, more substantive, feasibility document to be presented. The in-country management team have prepared and finalised the submission in line with the National Guide and re-submitted to the Department of Mines for consideration.

The target concession covers 196sqkm and is well positioned within a highly regarded potash district. Previous concession owners have confirmed the presence of potash via extensive drilling activities demonstrating the existence of a shallow evaporite basin with potash bearing horizons.

The target concession is in close proximity to two current trial potash production facilities that separately report shallow, high grade, high tonnage deposits for each project.

Thailand

Potash Tenement Applications (SPL)

The West Mekong Minerals (WMM) SPL application is pending sign off by the Director General and the Minerals Committee of Thailand.

The application progress for this SPL has been frustratingly slow – however the in-country team are encouraged that no other SPL’s have been granted in the period whilst the newly appointed Director General is establishing herself in the role.

The Thai management team continue to actively manage and lobby the SPL application process.

Broader Potash Opportunities

FYI has completed a pro-active quarter in progressing project opportunities in both Thailand and Laos.

The Thai and Lao in-country management groups continue to identify potash opportunities which FYI will investigate.

Current Quarter Objectives

Objectives for the March 2016 quarter include:

  • Advance potential Lao production agreement;

  • Supplementary feasibility submission provided to the Laos Ministry for the Khammouane project with follow up meetings planned;

  • Advance two identified potash opportunities in the region; and

  • Continue to lobby the WMM SPL applications

Receipt of $1,000,000 Cash from Asset Sale

As previously announced, FYI sold a non-core asset of an undeveloped 7.11 hectare rural zoned property in Baldivis, Western Australia. The sale was settled and the proceeds received during the quarter, realising $1,000,000 cash for the Company (before costs).

The proceeds of the sale should provide sufficient near term funding for FYI’s working capital requirements in continuing the development of its Southeast Asian potash strategies.

Potash Capabilities

FYI has aligned with a number of key industry groups that will augment FYI’s capacity to operate within Southeast Asia.

FYI continues to build partnerships with these key selected groups to compliment the Company’s business model from the exploration stage through to resource definition, mine scheduling and design, economic studies, mining, process engineering and off-take (marketing).

These relationships are critical for the successful advancing and development of the Company’s longer term potash strategy for Southeast Asia – particularly as a number of opportunities are drawing near to being finalised.

About Potash

Potash is the common term used for a group of various mined and manufactured salts containing potassium minerals in water-soluble form that are used principally as agricultural fertilizers.

Potassium is an important plant and crop nutrient along with nitrogen and phosphorus. Potash has been used since ancient history as a soil fertiliser which accounts for about 90% of its current use.

Potash is important for agriculture because it improves water retention, yield, nutrient value, taste, colour, texture and disease resistance of food crops. It has wide application to fruit and vegetables, rice, wheat and other grains, sugar, corn, soybeans, palm oil and cotton, all of which benefit from the nutrient’s quality enhancing properties.

About FYI

FYI is an ASX listed natural resources focused public company. The Company’s principal objective is the assembling of a quality portfolio of potash projects in Southeast Asia with the view to long term development and production.

FYI is targeting shallow, thick, high grade deposits typically associated with the geology of the basin regions in Thailand and Laos.

The FYI Board and the in-country management groups believe the targeted Thai and Laos project areas have the potential to host world class potash deposits.
