ASX Announcement

Strong Hits at Beasley Creek South Boost Laverton Resource Upside

West Australian gold explorer Focus Minerals ( ASX: FML ) ( Focus or the Company ) is pleased to announce that staged diamond drilling at the Beasley Creek South deposit, part of the Company’s 100%-owned Laverton Gold Project, has deliver more strongly mineralised intersections.

Beasley Creek South ( BCS ) is 400m from the Beasley Creek deposit, which is one of several significant gold assets that make up the Laverton Gold Project ( Laverton ). Focus is well advanced in identifying sufficient mineral resources across Laverton’s highly prospective 386km[2] parcel of tenements to underpin development of a Stage 1 gold mining operation.

Focus resumed diamond drilling at BCS in January and the campaign has continued into the June 2020 Quarter. The best five intersections[1] recorded from drilling completed in the March 2020 Quarter included:

  • 20BSDD014 - 11.8m @ 3.17g/t Au from 112m (37 GxM ) including 5.9% core loss

  • 20BSDD008 - 6m @ 5.36g/t Au from 139m (32 GxM ) including 10.8% core loss

  • 20BSDD002 - 11.6m @ 2.59g/t Au from 60m (30 GxM ) including 4.7% core loss

  • 20BSDD018 - 12m @ 1.84g/t Au from 143m (22 GxM ) including 9.2% core loss

  • 20BSDD016 - 8m @ 2.13g/t Au from 167m (17 GxM ) including 23.1% core loss

Focus drilled 4,571m at BCS during the March 2020 Quarter and remains on track to complete staged resource drilling in May. A resource estimation for BCS is expected to be completed in the June 2020 Quarter.

In addition, 10 diamond and reverse circulation ( RC ) holes were completed at Beasley Creek late in the March 2020 Quarter for 1,577m.

Also during the March 2020 Quarter, three diamond drill holes were completed at Lake Carey for 1,294m. Lake Carey is part of Focus’ proposed Stage 2 gold mining operation. All holes intersected targeted BIF units with the southern hole encountered significant structure and alteration. Core processing will be completed in April.

Commenting on the diamond drilling at BCS, Focus Minerals CEO, Mr Zhaoya Wang, said:

“Beasley Creek South is priority resource development opportunity to bolster our Stage 1 open pit mine development at Laverton. The results achieved so far this year support fast-tracking this resource to be included in ongoing Stage 1 mine studies.”

1 All lost core intervals included in the reported intersections have been fully diluted using 0g/t grade. Intersection has been calculated using 0.5g/t Au cut off and up to 3m Internal dilution.

Beasley South Project

Location and Production

BCS is located along strike and approximately 400m south of the Beasley Creek deposit. Both deposits are 10km northwest of the Laverton township. Access is from the sealed Laverton Road and a dirt road that extends 1km south on the east side of the Beasley Creek deposit.

Beasley Creek was mined by WMC in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with ore processed at Windarra. Historical production from the 750m N-S striking Beasley Creep Open Pit ( OP ) totalled 88.8Koz @ 2.42g/t Au.

Drilling by Focus in 2018 and 2019 delivered a significant new OP oxide resource at Beasley Creek to 180m below surface using a 0.8g/t Au cut-off grade, comprising:

  • Indicated Resource: 2.02 Mt @ 2.41 g/t Au for 156,500 contained ounces

  • Inferred Resource: 0.64 Mt @ 1.71 g/t Au for 35,400 contained ounces

  • Total Resource: 2.66 Mt @ 2.24 g/t Au for 191,900 contained ounces

The Mineral Resource was reported on a dry tonnage basis (see ASX announcement dated 25 October 2019).

BCS has never been mined and hosts strong mineralisation from near surface.

Summary Geology and Structure

Mineralisation at both Beasley Creek and BCS is located on the N-S trending, moderately east-dipping Beasley Shear Zone ( SZ ). Both deposits host mineralisation in deeply weathered oxide overprint of the Beasley SZ and related sediments/volcanics. The Beasley SZ is sandwiched between footwall (western) ultramafic intrusives and hangingwall (eastern) mafic-high magnesium volcanics.

In 2018, Focus identified that the Beasley SZ was offset 140m to the west by the cross-cutting SSE dipping Fitton FZ. This development opened up the southern 400m strike between BCS and Beasley Creek with most drilling up to then located too far to the east. The far-south extension of the Beasley SZ is interpreted to merge with the Chatterbox SZ (Figure 2).

Beasley Creek South Exploration Target

The shallow open pit BCS exploration target to 180m depth has been updated and comprises:

1.0 – 3.29Mt at 2.36g/t to 3.1g/t Au for 76Koz to 250Koz

An updated resource will be completed at BCS in the June 2020 Quarter.

The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature and therefore 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.

Lake Carey Exploration

The Lake Carey prospect, south of Laverton, is a key component of Focus’ proposed Stage 2 gold mining operation. Three diamond holes, co-funded by the WA Government’s Exploration Incentive Scheme, for 1,294m were completed at Lake Carey in the March 2020 Quarter. All holes intersected targeted BIF units and structure with the southernmost holes encountered the most alteration/veining and shearing. Final results are expected in May 2020.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 Beasley Creek South

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria Explanation
Sampling techniques RC Sampling (Precollars Only)

RC percussion drill chips were collected through a cone splitter from the drill rig. The
bulk sample from drilling was placed in neat rows directly on the ground (not
bagged) with the nominal 2-3kg calico split sub-sample placed on top of the
corresponding pile.

RC chips were passed through a cone splitter to achieve a nominal sample weight of
approximately 3kg. The splitter was levelled at the beginning of each hole.
Geological logging defined whether a sample was to be submitted as a 1m cone split
sample or a 4m spear composite sample. Split samples (1m) were transferred to
sample numbered calico bags for submission to the laboratory. Composite samples
were spear sampled using a scoop to obtain a small representative sample and
deposited into numbered sample bags.
Diamond Sampling

Diamond core was sampled across geologically identified zones of mineralisation,
the sample widths varied between a minimum of 0.2m and a maximum of 1.2m with
material on either side sampled to capture the entire mineralised zone.

The diamond core was marked up for sampling by the supervising geologist during
the core logging process, with sample intervals determined by the presence of
lithology, alteration and where applicable core loss. The core was cut in half using a
core saw and the same half of the core (RHS looking downhole) was routinely sent
to the laboratory for analysis. Some soft core was sampled half by using a bolster,
and some fractured quartz core were cut in half by using manual diamond core saw
to ensure half core was sampled.

A small number of whole core samples where routinely collected for bulk density
analysis. These samples were submitted to the same lab for gold analysis after bulk
density measurement.
Drilling techniques
RC drilling was conducted using a 5 3/8inch face sampling hammer for RC drilling.

Two RC holes were drilled with 5 inch AC bits and controlled drilling

The 2018 RC drill programs indicated that there was no amount of air that could be
used to deliver consistently dry and uncontaminated samples within the Beasley SZ
using face sampling hammer. The issue is related to the highly water loaded and
sticky clays located within the Beasley SZ at Beasley Creek South. This issue was
not encountered to such a high degree on the north side of the Fitton FZ which
appears to separate two different zones of hydrogeology. Quality RC samples could
not be achieved and the program was cut short.

At hole completion, downhole surveys for RC holes were completed at a 10m
interval by using True North Seeking Gyro tool.

At hole completion diamond holes were survey using a single shot tool at a range of
intervals between 20m and 50m, averaging 30m

Diamond drill holes with dips less than 50 degrees were collared from surface to a
predetermined depth using a rock roller bit.

Where possible on holes with dips more than 50 degrees an RC pre-collar was
completed to improve drilling efficiency. To date the sample recovery of the shallow
RC pre-collars (located laterally away from the Beasley SZ) has been acceptable
and results are considered to be usable for resource estimation

All pre-collars where cased off and the diamond component of the drill hole
completed using HQ3 (producing 63mm core diameter) equipment.

Wherever core conditions and hole orientation would allow, drill core was oriented by
the drilling contractor using the electronic ACT III Tool.
Drill sample recovery
RC sample recovery was recorded in 10% increments as a visual estimate during
the logging process. In general RC recovery was good to within a few meters of the
Beasley SZ. Once the Beasley SZ was encountered RC recovery ranged from 10-
80% and averaged less than 60%. These RC holes and RC with AC drill bit holes
are not being used for resource estimation purposes withing the Beasley SZ

DD sample recovery was measured and calculated (core loss) during the logging
process. DD core had generally reasonable recovery <10% core loss in and around
mineralisation. Some holes had more than 20% core loss. Where this core loss was
experienced around HG and VHG it likely had a material impact on the calculated
intersection grade as all core loss was fully diluted and assigned a grade of 0.0g/t
Au.

Page 10 of 14

Criteria Explanation
Logging
All RC samples were geologically logged to record weathering, regolith, rock type,
colour, alteration, mineralisation, structure, texture and any other notable features
that are present. All data is entered directly into validating digital software directly.

All core samples were oriented where possible, marked into metre intervals and
compared to the depth measurements on the core blocks. Any loss of core was
noted and recorded in the drilling database.

All diamond core was logged for structure, geology and geotechnical data using the
same system as that for RC.

Logging was qualitative, however the geologists often recorded quantitative mineral
percentage ranges for the sulphide minerals present.

The logging information was transferred into the company’s drilling database once
the log was complete.

Diamond core was photographed one core tray at a time using a standardised
photography jig. RC chip trays are routinely photographed.

The entire length of all holes is geologically logged, except for rock roller diamond
pre-collars, whichproduce no sample.
Sub-sampling techniques
and sample preparation

All samples were collected in a pre-numbered calico bag bearing a unique sample
ID.

At the assay laboratory, all samples were oven dried, crushed to a nominal 10mm
using a jaw crusher (core samples only) and weighed. Samples in excess of 3kg in
weight were riffle split to achieve a maximum 3kg sample weight before being
pulverized to 90% passing 75μm.

Gold analysis was by 40g Fire Assay with an AAS Finish.

Jinning Testing & Inspection completed the assay testing, with sample preparation
completed in Kalgoorlie or Perth and analysis completed in Perth.

The assay laboratories’ sample preparation procedures follow industry best practice,
with techniques and practices that are appropriate for this style of mineralisation.
Pulp duplicates were taken at the pulverising stage and selective repeats conducted
at the laboratories’ discretion.

QAQC checks involved inserting standards 1:20 samples (with minimum 3 standards
every submission). Duplicate samples for RC were achieved by producing 2 samples
for each metre one hole every 20th hole drilled and submitting all produced samples.
The remaining bulk sample was also bagged to plastic bags for retention and further
checks. Diamond core field duplicates were not taken.

Regular reviews of the sampling were carried out by the supervising geologist and
senior field staff, to ensure all procedures were followed and best industry practice
carried out.

The sample sizes were appropriate for the type, style and consistency of
mineralisation encountered during this phase of exploration.
Quality of assay data
and laboratory tests

The assay method and laboratory procedures were appropriate for this style of
mineralisation. The fire assay technique was designed to measure total gold in the
sample.

No geophysical tools, spectrometers or handheld XRF instruments were used for
assay determination.

The QA/QC process described above was sufficient to establish acceptable levels of
accuracy and precision. All results from assay standards and duplicates were
scrutinised to ensure they fell within acceptable tolerances and where they didn’t
further analysis was conducted as appropriate.

Umpire samples are collected on a routine basis will be submitted to independent ISO
certified labs in 2019

Additional bulk mineralised RC samples have also been collected and retained for
follow up QAQC, metallurgical and sample characterisationpurposes.
Verification of sampling
and assaying

Significant intervals were visually inspected by company geologists to correlate assay
results to logged mineralisation. Consultants were not used for this process.

Primary logging data is sent in digital format to the company’s Database Administrator
(DBA) as often as was practicable. The DBA imports the data into an acQuire
database, with assay results merged into the database upon receipt from the
laboratory. Once loaded, data was extracted for verification by the geologist in charge
of theproject.
Location of data points
Drill collars are surveyed after completion using a DGPS instrument. Where possible,
all drill core was oriented by the drilling contractor using an ACT III electronic system.

A True North Seeking Gyro for RC end of holes surveys or a Reflex single shot
camera for diamond drilling was used for “single shot” surveys whilst advancing
drilling.

Page 11 of 14

Criteria Explanation

All coordinates and bearings use the MGA94 Zone 51 grid system.

Focus Minerals utilises Landgate sourced regional topographic maps and contours as
well as internally produced survey pick-ups produced by the mining survey teams
utilising DGPS base station instruments.

After completion the drill hole locations were picked up by DGPS with accuracy of +/-
20cm.
Data spacing and
distribution

Beasley Creek South is being infilled with HQ3 to 40m x 40m spacing or better within
identified shoots

Spacing is deemed to be appropriate for the type of mineralisation.
Orientation of data in
relation to geological
structure

Drilling was designed based on known/developing geological models, field mapping,
verified historical data, cross-sectional and long-sectional interpretation.

Where achievable, drill holes were oriented at right angles to strike of deposit, with dip
optimised for drill capabilities and the dip of the ore body. Please note this was not
always possible in the NW part of the pit where relatively complex mineralisation has
been intersected in the footwall of the Beasley Creek Shear.

True widths have not been calculated for reported intersections. However, drill
orientation was wherever possible consistently optimised to approximate true width of
mineralisation.
Sample security
All samples were reconciled against the sample submission with any omissions or
variations reported to Focus Minerals.

All samples were bagged in a tied numbered calico bag. The bags were placed into
plastic green bags with a sample submission sheet and delivered directly from site to
the Kalgoorlie laboratories by Focus Mineralspersonnel at completion of each hole.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

Criteria Explanation
Mineral tenement and
land tenure status

The drilling was conducted on tenements 100% owned by Focus Minerals (Laverton)
Pty Ltd.

All tenements are in good standing.

Beasley Creek South is located entirely within Mining Lease M38/049.

There are currently no registered Native Title claims over the Lavertonproject areas.
Exploration done by other
parties

Beasley Creek South was discovered by WMC when exploring and then mining at
Beasley Creek. Beasley Creek was mined as an open pit to about 85m depth by
WMC from 1987-1994 with production of 88.8Koz.

Later exploration has been performed by Metex/Delta Gold 1996/1997 and then
Crescent Gold from 2010-2011.
Geology
Mineralisation at Beasley Creek South is located on the moderate East dipping
Beasley Shear Zone. To date mineralisation is confirmed at Beasley Creek South over
500m strike and to within 400m of the southern side of Beasley Creek.

The Beasley SZ is deeply weathered to ~80-100% clay and drill intersection to date at
130m depth are located in completely weathered rock.

The Beasley SZ is sandwiched between Hanging-wall (Eastern) Mafic-high
magnesium volcanics and Footwall (western) Unltramafic intrusions and Feldspar-
hornblend porphyries.

The weathered rocks within the Beasley SZ include:

saprolitic clays,

saprock of hydrothermally brecciated sediments, conglomerates and minor black
shale,

iron stone after gossan,

laminated veins and,

breccia vein infill.

Core loss typically occurs when quartz breccia fragments become partially lodged
in the drill bit. These hard fragments rotate with the bit causing grinding/washing
of the soft highly oxidised shear matrix.

Criteria Explanation
Data aggregation methods
Mineralised intersections are reported at a 0.5g/t Au cut-off with up to 3m internal
dilution. The length weighted average grades from diamond core can include measured
intervals of core loss. All Core loss is fully diluted and assigned a grade of 0.0 g/t Au in
order to compile conservativegrade estimates.
Relationship between
mineralization widths and
intercept lengths

Wherever possible holes were drilled orthogonal to mineralisation

True widths can be estimated once geological/mineralisation modelling has been
completed.

Furthermore, no intersections are represented as calculated true widths in this report.
Diagrams
Accurate plans are included in this announcement. 3D perspective views and
schematic cross-sections are included to illustrate the distribution ofgrade.
Balanced reporting
Historic drill results are available on WAMEX

Drilling results are reported in a balanced reporting style. The ASX announcement for
Focus Minerals holes shows actual locations of holes drilled, and representative
sections as appropriate.
Other substantive
exploration data

There is no other material exploration data to report at this time.
Further work
Focus Minerals anticipates additional drilling to follow up on encouraging results in
Laverton.
