About Focus Minerals Limited (ASX: FML)
Focus Minerals is a Perth-based, ASX-listed gold exploration company focused on delivering shareholder value from its 100%-owned Coolgardie Gold Project and Laverton Gold Project, in Western Australia’s Goldfields.
Focus is committed to delivering shareholder value from the Coolgardie Gold Project, a 175km[2] tenement holding that includes the 1.4Mtpa processing plant at Three Mile Hill (on care and maintenance), by continuing exploration and value-enhancing activities. An updated PFS in September 2020 highlighted the potential for a low capital cost, fast-tracked return to mining at Coolgardie and delivered an NPV7.5% of $183 million. The Company’s efforts are now focused on increasing production ready Mineral Resources at Coolgardie and delivering the approvals and permits required for a resumption of gold-mining operations.
The Laverton Gold Project covers 386km[2] area of highly prospective ground that includes the historic Lancefield and Chatterbox Trend mines. Focus’ priority target is to confirm sufficient gold mineralisation at the Beasley Shear Zone, Lancefield-Wedge Thrust, Karridale and Burtville to support a Stage 1 production restart at Laverton. In parallel, Focus is working to advance key Laverton resource growth targets including Sickle, Ida-H and Burtville South. Focus has delivered first results from a progressive Pre-Feasibility Study (Pre-Tax NPV5.0% A $132M) and is advancing study work utilising Laverton’s expanded Mineral Resource position.
