Flinders announces proposed financing of $15 million

VANCOUVER, March 26, 2012 /CNW/ - Flinders Resources Limited ("Flinders") (TSXV : FDR). Mr. Martin McFarlane, President & CEO, announces that Flinders is proposing to undertake a private placement of up to 8,823,530 million units at a price of $1.70 per unit for gross proceeds of up to $15 million. Each unit consists of one common share and one half common share purchase warrant.  Each whole warrant will be exercisable at $2.20 per common share for a period of two years from the date of closing of the private placement.  The securities issued under the placement will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of closing.  The closing of the private placement is subject to, among other things, final acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange.

The net proceeds of the private placement will enable Flinders to substantially advance the Kringel graphite mine in Sweden toward production.

Mr McFarlane states: "Flinders' Kringel graphite mine is one of the most advanced graphite projects globally and being already fully permitted and constructed, will be amongst first to deliver premium high quality large flake graphite to European customers. When completed, this financing will enable Flinders to rapidly move forward with its plans to re-start graphite production at Kringel."

"Importantly, with Kringel at such an advanced stage of development, the cost of re-starting operations will be relatively modest and this $15 million financing is expected to deliver to Flinders most if not all of its restart budget requirements."

A finder's fee will be payable on a portion of the financing.

On behalf of the Board
