Overview

Jameson Resources Limited (“Jameson” or “the Company”) continued to progress the pre-application phase of the EA process at the Crown Mountain coking coal project. Two key EA activities neared completion.

Other than EA-related tasks at Crown Mountain, the Company continues to review field work performed with respect to the deposit along with the changing economic environment.

Ongoing cost reductions were realized in the administrative area, as the Company strives to preserve capital.

Project Summary

Crown Mountain Project - Elk Valley Coal Field, British Columbia

Crown Mountain continues in the pre-application stage of the EA process. Two governmental entities are involved: the Canada Environmental Assessment Agency (“CEAA”) and the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office (“EAO”).

Two important and comprehensive documents are nearing completion: The Valued Components Document (“VCD”) and the Application Information Requirements (“AIR”).

In late May an open house was held with respect to the VCD, with a concurrent 30-day public comment period. Public comments have been addressed, and a revised VCD will soon be submitted to the Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) for review. Management anticipates the VCD will be finalized during the September quarter.

The AIR has been revised for EAO comments, and is now under review by the governmental working group and First Nations. Comments are expected within 4-8 weeks, after which a revised AIR will be submitted for EAO acceptance. The AIR should be completed early in the December quarter.

Spending on Crown Mountain reached a multi-year low during the March quarter, but rose in the current (June) quarter due to expenses associated with the VCD and AIR, including site visits, open house, consultant charges, and completion of some in-progress field activities unrelated to the VCD and AIR. September quarter spending will continue to be influenced by finalizing the VCD and AIR; subsequent quarters will see significantly lower project spending.

The Company is focused on positioning Crown Mountain for a coking coal market recovery while minimizing ongoing costs. The weather station on site has been removed and placed in storage to reduce ongoing monitoring costs. Water monitoring activities have shifted from monthly to quarterly and will remain so until field activities (ie: exploration) resume.

A gap analysis will be executed (internally) on the project once the AIR and VCD are complete: additional field work and permit application preparation, other than in-house efforts, will be deferred until the coal market recovery progresses further.

Dunlevy Project – North East British Columbia

Jameson did not complete any work on Dunlevy during the quarter. Annual rent on the exploration licenses has been paid and the project remains in good standing.

Application is pending at the province for a refund of the Dunlevy reclamation bond. The Company performed the necessary reclamation work in late 2014 following completion of the exploration program. A site visit by Jameson and Ministry of Mines personnel occurred on July 5 as part of the bond release process.

Jameson anticipates resuming exploration/evaluation work when market forces warrant such action.

Corporate

As at 30 June 2016 the Company had A$1.9 million in cash and equivalents, no debt, and 208,565,619 fully paid ordinary shares on issue.

The Company continues to maintain a balance between progressing Crown Mountain and preserving cash. This is a dynamic process.

Management is evaluating other opportunities in coal, and select other commodities as well, as potential projects of interest present themselves.

On Behalf of the Board of Directors,
