Who we are
Focus is a Perth-based, ASX-listed gold exploration company focused on delivering shareholder value from its Laverton Gold Project, in Western Australia’s north-eastern Goldfields.
The Laverton project covers 507km[2] area of highly prospective ground that includes the historic Lancefield and Chatterbox Trend mines.
Focus’ priority target is to confirm the extent of gold mineralisation at deposits Beasley Creek and Lancefield Thrust and advance the Sickle, Ida-H and Karridale-Burtville deposits and targets.
Focus also owns the non-core Coolgardie Gold Project, also in the Goldfields, which includes a 1.2Mtpa processing plant at Three Mile Hill. The plant is on care and maintenance. The Coolgardie Gold Project is currently going through a sale process.

Mineral Resource Updated
==> picture [288 x 115] intentionally omitted <==
-
85% (113,829oz) of additional ounces located between surface an 150m depth
-
Resource addition to 200m depth completed at $12/oz is highly competitive
-
Initial Exploration Target comprising 23.5-29Mt @ 1.33 – 1.5 g/t Au for 1.0Moz – 1.4Moz
-
The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature and therefore is an approximation. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. For more information, please refer to the 27 May 2019 ASX Announcement.
