Coolgardie Gold Operations – Bonnie Vale Ore Reserve Update

Highlights:

  • Bonnie Vale Underground Ore Reserve ounces increase by 17% to 177,920oz.

  • The current mine life is 4 years and demonstrates robust economics with all in production cost estimated at A$1,374 per oz.

  • The Bonnie Vale Resource remains open at depth and along strike with potential for growth with further drilling.

  • Excellent Resource to Reserve conversion of 79%.

  • A clear pathway to production is anticipated with mining targeted for commencement in the second half of 2024.

West Australian gold company Focus Minerals Limited ( ASX: FML ) ( Focus or the Company ) is pleased to announce results of the 2023 Ore Reserve update for the Bonnie Vale Underground project, a part of Coolgardie Gold Operations ( Coolgardie ). The Coolgardie project includes 121km[2] of highly prospective tenements on the outskirts of the Coolgardie township in Western Australia’s Eastern Goldfields.

Commenting on the 2023 Ore Reserve for Bonnie Vale, Focus Minerals’ Executive Chairman, Mr Wanghong Yang, said:

“This updated Ore Reserve demonstrates robust economics for the Bonnie Vale Underground Project, delivering low-cost ounces for our Coolgardie Gold Operations. The result reflects the good work of our team this year, in optimising the Resource Model with further drilling and delivering a high confidence mine plan for commencement of underground mining. Following final evaluation and project approvals, Focus hopes to bring the mine online in 2024 consistent with our current life of mine plan.”

This 2023 Bonnie Vale Ore Reserve is derived from the updated Mineral Resource estimate published in September 2023 (refer to ASX announcement dated 26 September 2023), using a gold price of A$2,500 per oz and a cut-off grade of 1.87 g/t for stope design:

Total 925,800 5.11 152,220 932,000 5.94 177,920

The 2023 Ore Reserve update sees an increase in of 25,700oz on the previous 2022 result largely driven by a 16% increase in mined grade. This improvement in grade has resulted from increased drill density and a higher confidence Mineral Resource model.

Bonnie Vale Underground Resource

Extensive Reverse Circulation, Diamond, geotechnical and hydrogeological drilling at Bonnie Vale has been carried out since the Mineral Resource Update in 2020 (see ASX announcement dated 2 September 2020).

The decrease in drill spacing and oriented diamond core drill holes allowed development of the higher confidence in the 2023 Mineral Resource (see ASX announcement dated 26 September 2023) which was used for development of the Bonnie Vale 2023 Ore Reserve Update:

Classification Tonnage (Kt) Au Grade (g/t) Au Oz
Indicated 879 8.01 226,300
Inferred 325 2.58 27,000
Total Underground Mineral Resource 1,204 6.54 253,300

Bonnie Vale UG Ore Reserve Estimation

The mining method planned to be utilised is mechanised jumbo development and longhole stoping with a combination of backfilled and open stopes. The planned backfill is a combination of cemented rockfill (CRF) and loose rockfill. The stoping sequence is planned to be a bottom-up mining sequence in blocks of three to four levels.

This mining method is being utilised successfully and efficiently in comparable and similar orebody size, configuration, and ground conditions in Western Australia and elsewhere.

The 2023 Ore Reserve for Bonnie Vale Underground was completed with the following key assumptions:

In summary the mining plan developed for the 2023 Underground Ore Reserve estimate sees:

  • 4-year mine life, with potential for extension.

  • 2.3Km of decline development to a depth of 260m below surface, a further 2.3km of other capital development.

  • 5.0 km of ore drives mining 247K tonnes at 4.48g/t for 35,562oz and stoping of 685k Tonnes at 6.46g/t for 142,358oz.

  • 932k tonnes of ore at a diluted grade of 5.94g/t for 170,000 mill recovered ounces.

  • All in sustainable cost estimate of A$1,374 per ounce.

Market Announcement | Page 3 of 31

The conversion of Mineral Resource to Ore Reserve is excellent as 79% of the Indicated Resource is in the mine production ounces, giving confidence in future Mineral Resource conversion.

Figure 2 below shows the development and stoping design of the Bonnie Vale UG Reserve. The economic risk is considered very low as the mine plan is underpinned by the fact that 93% of the Ore Reserve is above the fully costed cut-off grade. This demonstrates the robust economics of the Bonnie Vale UG project.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria Commentary
Sampling
techniques

This report relates to results from Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling and diamond core
drilling. The information of sampling techniques below applies to the drill holes drilled
by Focus Minerals (FML) only.

RC percussion drill chips were collected through a cyclone and cone splitter. Samples
were collected on a 1m or 4m composite samples basis, with sampling width
geologically determined. Composite 4m samples were collected manually using spear
sampling of green bags and 1m samples were generated off the rig mounted cyclone
mounted cone splitter. Where the RC composite samples returned an assay value of
0.2g/t Au or greater, the 1m cone-split samples were then submitted for analysis.
When visible gold was observed in RC chips, this sample was then flagged by the
supervising geologist for the benefit of the laboratory.

RC chips were passed through a cone splitter to achieve a sample weight of
approximately 3kg. The splitter was levelled at the beginning of each hole using a
bullseye level. 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. The samples were then prepared for
fire assay.

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
mineralisation and/or alteration. Sample widths varied between a minimum of 0.2m
and a maximum of 1.2m. The core was cut in half using an Almonte automatic core
saw guided by the BOH core orientation line or in the absence of an orientation line the
core was reassembled in the tray and a “cut-line” drawn down the axis of the core.
Half-core samples submitted to Jinnings Kalgoorlie assay laboratories for fire assay
analysis by a 50g fire assay with an ICP-OES or AAS Finish.

Sampling of the vertical historic Bonnie Vale tails grade control RC holes was via a
cone splitter off the grade-control L8 drill rig at 1m intervals into pre-numbered calico
bags.

Matador Exploration Pty Ltd (Matador) collected drill cuttings at 1m intervals and
passed through a trailer-mounted cyclone and stand-along riffle splitter to provide a 4-
6kg split sample and bulk residue for logging. 4m composites were taken by spearing
the residue and submitted for assay and where results were returned above 0.2g/t, the
1m riffle split samples were submitted for analysis.

Coolgardie Gold NL (CGNL) does not state sampling techniques except to say
samples were 4m composites, which were resampled at 1m when assays returned
0.2g/t Au or greater.

Magnet Metals submitted 1m samples or 2m - 4m composites for analysis by 50g Fire
Assay with AAS finish.

WMC drilled shallow holes and submitted 1m samples for analysis by unknown
methods.

Associated Resources Management (ARM) drilled 1 deep diamond hole. Quarter core
samples were submitted for fire assay based on geological intervals. Five samples
were screen fire assayed for coarse gold.
Drilling techniques
FML drilling was completed using an RC face sampling hammer or NQ2/HQ size
diamond core. Drill core was oriented by the drilling contractor using an Ezy-mark or
electronic system were core conditions allowed. Most holes were surveyed upon
completion of drilling using a north-seeking gyroscope. The holes were surveyed
initially open-hole and in later programs within the rods. Otherwise, a single shot

Page 6 of 31

Criteria Commentary
Eastman camera downhole survey was used.

The historic Bonnie Vale tails grade control RC drilling was completed using an Atlas
Copco L8 rig using a 5 ¼ inch diameter Aircore drill bit to improve sample recovery.

Matador used RC drilling methods and surveyed the hole using Electronic Multi-Shot
(EMS) system.

Other companies state using an RC rig.

ARM used an RC pre-collar from surface to 78m, HQ core to 293m and then NQ
diamond core to EOH at 450m.
Drill sample
recovery

FML Sample recovery was recorded by a visual estimate during the logging process.

All RC samples were drilled dry whenever possible to maximize recovery, with water
injection on the outside return to minimise dust.

Study of sample recovery versus gold grade does not indicate a bias in the gold grade
caused by any drop in sample recovery.

Diamond core sample recovery was measured and calculated (core loss) during the
logging process, generally there was excellent recovery.

ARM state only 0.2m of core loss and a recovery of 99.95% from the 1 diamond hole.
Logging
The information of logging techniques below applies to the drill holes drilled by FML
only. All core samples were oriented, 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 RC samples were geologically logged to record weathering, regolith, rock type,
colour, alteration, mineralisation, structure and texture and any other notable features
that are present.

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

The logging information was recorded into acQuire format using a Toughbook notepad
and then transferred into the company’s drilling database once the log was complete.

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

Diamond core was photographed wet and dry one core tray at a time using a
standardised photography jig.

Samples from RC holes were archived in standard 20m plastic chip trays and in later
programs photographed up to 4 chip trays per photo.

The entire length of all holes is logged.

Historical holes have been logged at 1m intervals to record weathering, regolith, rock
type, colour, alteration, mineralisation, structure and texture and any other notable
features that are present for RC samples.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation

The information of sub-sampling and sample preparation below applies to the drill
holes drilled by FML only.

Core samples were taken from half core, cut using an Almonte automatic core saw.
The remainder of the core was retained in core trays tagged with a hole number and
metre mark.

RC samples were cone split to a nominal 2.5kg to 3kg sample weight. The drilling
method was designed to maximise sample recovery and delivery of a clean,
representative sample into the calico bag.

Where possible all RC samples were drilled dry to maximise recovery. The use of a
booster and auxiliary compressor provide dry sample for depths below the water table.
Sample condition was recorded (wet, dry, or damp) at the time of sampling and
recorded in the database.

The samples were collected in a pre-numbered calico bag bearing a unique sample ID.
Samples were crushed to 75μm at the laboratory and riffle split (if required) to a
maximum 3kg sample weight. Gold analysis was determined by a 30g to 50g fire
assay with an ICP-OES or AAS Finish.

The assay laboratories’ sample preparation procedures follow industry best practice,

Market Announcement | Page 7 of 31

Criteria Commentary
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.

Prior to 2016 FML inserted 3 standards and took 5 duplicates for every 100 samples.
Field duplicates were collected from the cone splitter on the rig for RC samples at a
frequency of one duplicate every 20 samples, excluding the 100th sample as this was
a standard. Diamond core field duplicates were not taken. From 2016 - 2018 FML
inserted 1 standard every 25th sample, while the 1 duplicate every 20th sample
remained unchanged from previous years. From 2018 a standard is inserted every
20th sample and all batches delivered to the lab have at least three standards in them.
RC field duplicate samples are taken from the second sample shoot on the cone
splitter. Rather than individual field duplicates at a regular spacing, whole holes are
duplicate sampled with a frequency rate not less than 1 in every 20 holes drilled.

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 considered to be appropriate for the type, style and
consistency of mineralisation encountered during this phase of exploration.

Limited reporting of historic sample preparation exists in the WAMEX reports.

Matador RC samples were drilled dry and cone or riffle split to achieve a 4-6kg sample
weight. Certified standards were inserted every 20 samples. At the laboratory either a
blank or a certified standard were inserted every 20 samples and a duplicate was
taken every 10 samples.

ARM submitted ¼ core samples for fire assay. Five samples were submitted for screen
fire assay to determine coarse gold component.
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.

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.

Matador samples were submitted for analysis for gold by standard 30g fire assay with
the finish by Atomic Absorption (AA) with a 0.01g/t detection limit.

CGNL analysis methods and QA/QC checks are unknown.

Magnet Minerals used duplicates for check assays.
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.

Normally if old historic drilling was present, twinned holes are occasionally drilled to
test the veracity of historic assay data; however, no twinned holes were drilled during
this program.

Primary 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 the project.

No adjustments were made to any current or historic data. If data could not be
validated to a reasonable level of certainty it was not used in any resource estimations.

Historic holes were validated against paper copies and WAMEX reports where
possible.
Location of data
points

FML drill collars were surveyed after completion, using a DGPS instrument. All drill
core was oriented by the drilling contractor using an Ezy-mark or electronic system.
Most holes were surveyed upon completion of drilling using a north-seeking gyroscope
and holes were surveyed either open-hole or within the rods. Otherwise, a single shot
Eastman camera downhole survey was used.

The shallow vertical tails holes were collar surveyed by DGPS but not down hole

Criteria Commentary
surveyed.

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

FML 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.

Matador has not stated the collar survey method, down-hole surveys used the
Electronic Multi-Shot (EMS) system.

ARM used an Eastman camera for down-hole surveys.
Data spacing and
distribution

Drill spacing across the Coolgardie prospects varied depending on the exploration
stage that the drill target currently existed.

Drilling varied from wide spaced exploration RC drilling to precisely placed diamond
tails designed to test mineralisation at depth and along strike.

Following drilling completed 2021 to 2023 the Drill spacing within the Bonnie Vale
Mineral Resources comprises:
Orientation of data
in relation to
geological
structure

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

Drill holes were generally oriented at right angles to strike of the main veins, with dip
optimised for drill capabilities and the dip of the ore body.
Sample security
All samples were reconciled against the sample submission with any omissions or
variations reported to FML.

All samples were bagged in a tied numbered calico bag, grouped into green plastic
bags. The bags were placed into cages with a sample submission sheet and delivered
directly from site to the Kalgoorlie laboratories by FML personnel.

Historic sample security is not recorded.
Audits or reviews
A review of sampling techniques was carried out by rOREdata Pty Ltd in late 2013 as
part of a database amalgamation project. Their only recommendation was to change
the QA/QC intervals to bring them into line with the FML Laverton system, which uses
the same frequency of standards and duplicates but has them inserted at different
points within the numbering sequence.

Mineral tenement
and land tenure
status

All exploration was conducted on tenements 100% owned by Focus Minerals Limited
or its subsidiary companies Focus Operations Pty Ltd. All tenements are in good
standing.
The Malinyu Ghoorlie 2017 Claim cover the majority of the Coolgardie tenure. At this
stage no Coolgardie claims have progressed to determined status.
Exploration done
by other parties

Bonnie Vale is the site of a number of historic workings including the “Varischetti Mine”
(Westralia). Modern exploration has been conducted by Coolgardie Gold NL, Gold
Mines of Coolgardie and FML.
Geology
Locally the geology of the deposit is dominated by the Bonnie Vale granodiorite, with
ultramafic to the northeast and a pendant of ultramafic to the southwest in the footwall
of the main vein system. This ultramafic has been logged as variably sericite-chlorite-
carbonate altered komatiitic lavas. Mineralisation is hosted within large (strike lengths
>400m) quartz reefs which range in thickness from centimetre scale to several metres.
The known reefs have a variety of orientations with most dipping to the north northeast
and north east within the granodiorite and close to its margins. Reefs typically dip at
between 40 to 60 degrees.

Database integrity
Data was geologically logged electronically; collar and downhole surveys were also
received electronically as was the laboratory analysis results. These electronic files
were loaded into an acQuire database by either consultants rOREdata or the company
in-house Database Administrator. Data was routinely extracted to Microsoft Access
during the drilling program for validation by the geologist in charge of the project.

FML’s database is a Microsoft SQL Server database (acQuire), which is case
sensitive, relational, and normalised to the Third Normal Form. As a result of
normalisation, the following data integrity categories exist:

Entity Integrity: no duplicate rows in a table, eliminated redundancy and chance of
error.

Domain Integrity: Enforces valid entries for a given column by restricting the type, the
format, or a range of values.

Referential Integrity: Rows cannot be deleted which are used by other records.

User-Defined Integrity: business rules enforced by acQuire and validation codes set up
by FML.

Additionally, in-house validation scripts are routinely run in acQuire on FML’s database
and they include the following checks:

Missing collar information

Missing logging, sampling, downhole survey data and hole diameter

Overlapping intervals in geological logging, sampling, down hole surveys
o
Checks for character data in numeric fields

Data extracted from the database were validated visually in Datamine Studio software
and ARANZ Geo Leapfrog software. Also, when loading the data any errors regarding
missing values and overlaps are highlighted.

Geological
interpretation

All available drill hole and historic mining data was used to guide the geological
interpretation of the mineralisation.

An approximate cut-off grade of 0.5g/t was implemented. Some internal dilution was
included for consistency.

The mineralised geological interpretation was constructed in Seequent Leapfrog Geo
software.

A re-model of the Quarry Lode has been undertaken from the previous 2020 release
following the increased drilling density, new structural data and improved geological
understanding of the deposit.

Mineralisation at Bonnie Vale is hosted in discrete quartz lodes within brittle-ductile shear
zones cross cutting the Bonnie Vale granodiorite intrusive. Geological continuity between
drill holes of both quartz veins, shears and lithology is considered good and is further
improved by a network of oriented diamond core drilled since 2021. The quartz veins are
typically weakly laminated and contain mostly massive, milky quartz. Individual
mineralised veins range form 5cm to more than 3m width. Gold mineralisation is
considered to be entirely within the quartz veins and occurs as microscopic to nugget
size free gold.

Acknowledging that gold mineralisation is restricted to Quartz veining meant that logged
geology, specifically the presence of quartz veining, was used to guide the mineralisation
interpretation.

During 2022 FML drilled 12 oriented diamond core holes targeting the Quarry lode. This
provided additional structural data which aligned with lithological logging further guided
the geological interpretation specifically regarding vein orientation.

Market Announcement | Page 24 of 31

Criteria Commentary

The location and orientation of historic underground stopes and workings provided
evidence to support the modelled orientations in areas with less diamond drill core.

A number of separate and distinct mineralised zones have been identified striking ENE
and dipping moderately ~ 40° - 50° NNE to NE. In total 56 individual lodes were modelled
at the Quarry lode and NW towards and within the historic Bonnie Vale Mining Centre.

Within 5 of these larger lodes smaller internal high-grade shoots were identified and
modelled as separate domains.

Minor deviation only of the lode geometry was noticed between drill holes along strike
and down-dip.

In 2023 FML drilled a further 73 RC holes and 23 oriented diamond core holes to infill
and extend the mineralisation model. These holes were successfully incorporated into
the geological interpretation and resulted in a further 14 individual lodes and 1 internal
high-grade shoot being modelled.

The tails stockpiles were interpreted in Leapfrog Geo software with solids constructed
within the surveyed tails around zones of consistently thicker mineralisation. Cut off for
the previously milled quartz vein tails is estimated at 0.4 g/t and mineable/recoverable
volumes have been built that exceed this cut off. Furthermore, where consistently
higher metal content areas were delineated, these were sub domained and estimated
separately.
Dimensions
The upper part of the Quarry Lode and adjacent hangingwall lodes was infilled
predominantly with RC at 20m x 30m spacing between 315mRL (75m below surface)
to surface. Limited mainly lower grade mineralisation was intersected in this region.
Furthermore the drilling was extended to the ENE at 40m x 80m spacing in the vicinity
of the Bonnie Vale Reef as a first pass to gauge potential for shallow mineralisation
amenable to open pit extraction. The majority of the shallow mineralisation ranged in
width between 1m and 2m thickness. Strike of shallow mineralisation has been
extended beyond 400m

The main high grade part of the Quarry Lode extends ENE over a strike length of about
500m and from about a depth of about 75m below surface (315mRL) to approximately
480m below surface (-100mRL). The thickness of the main Quarry Lode varies from
2m to approximately 16m, with an average thickness of 7-8m between 315m RL and
135mRL (250m vertical depth range). Below about 135mRL the quarry lode becomes
slightly steeper and narrows to 1-2m width.

The historic Bonnie Vale tails stockpiles averaged 2.5 ~ 3.5m thick with variable
extents. The largest extending over 200m x 90m wide, smaller tails around 70m x 60m.
Within each stockpile the recoverable volumes varied from 880m3 to 18,738m3.
Estimation and
modelling
techniques

An Ordinary Kriging (OK) estimate was run on the Insitu Bonnie Vale resource using
Datamine software, following the process below:

Drill hole data was selected within mineralised lodes and then within the internal HG
core.

All domain boundaries were considered “hard” boundaries and no drill hole information
was used by another lode in the estimation. This includes the HG core lodes. Where
lodes intersected, priority was assigned to one of the lodes and samples/blocks
assigned to that particular lode and removed from the lower priority one.

All drill hole data was composited to 1m downhole intervals – 1m is the dominant raw
sampling interval.

The composited assay values of each lode were imported into Snowden Supervisor for
geostatistical analysis.

A review of histograms, probability plots and mean/variance plots for each lode
revealed some outlier sample values.

Top capping of higher Au values within each lode was carried out with Au values above
the cut-off grade reset to the cut-off grade. Not all lodes were top cut.

The different lodes have different top-cuts as required, a maximum top-cap of 70ppm
was used for one of the HG core lodes with an average of 4ppm Au used in the
surround lodes.

Market Announcement | Page 25 of 31

Criteria Commentary

Variography was carried out in Datamine Supervisor software, given the negatively
skewed nature of the gold grades the data was transformed to normal scores
distribution before being back transformed to original units before exporting.

Variography was performed on the individual lodes with larger sample numbers, in total
6 variograms were modelled.

These models were shared with the other lodes of similar orientation and proximity.

The back-transformed variogram models had moderate to high nugget effects (20% to
55% of total sill), with a range from 35m to 142m.

No “unfolding” of the mineralised wireframes was required.

Estimation (via Ordinary Kriging) was into a non-rotated block model in MGA94 grid,
with a parent block size of 10 mE x 10 mN x 5 mRL – this is about the average drill
spacing in the deposit. Sub-blocking was used to best fill the wireframes and inherit the
grade of the parent block.

The ellipsoid search parameters used the variogram ranges, with a minimum of 8 and
maximum of 18 samples per block estimate was used. After the first pass 53% of
blocks had estimated. For un-estimated blocks after this first pass, the search distance
was expanded by a factor of two and the minimum number of samples dropped to 4. In
the second pass 45% of blocks estimated. A third pass was then run with an increased
search distance by a factor of four and the minimum number of samples remaining at
4. Only 2% of blocks were estimated in the third search pass.

After an initial validation it was determined a few lodes had over-estimated, the high-
grade core within Lodes 1, 2 and 7 as well as three other lodes, 15, 16 and 44. A grade
restricted search method was implemented to reduce the higher sample grades over-
influencing block grades where lower samples exist.

For Lode 1 HG core samples greater than 20ppm Au were restricted to within a 20m
search ellipse orientation distance. For four of the other lodes samples greater than
8ppm Au were restricted to a 20m search ellipse orientation distance. At Lode 15 a
2ppm Au restriction was implemented.

The estimate was validated by visually stepping through the estimated blocks and
sample data in Datamine. Comparing the estimated block statistics with composited
sample data and generate trend (Swath) plots to ensure the estimate was honouring
the trends of the data. Also, a review of the output parameters from the estimation
process like kriging variance, negative weights, search distances and sample numbers.

The tails stockpiles were estimated in Datamine software by Inverse Distance (ID2) into
a separate unrotated block model in MGA 94 grid, with a parent block size of 5 mE x 5
mN x 1 mRL – ½ the average drill spacing. Sub-blocking was used to best fill the
wireframes and inherit the grade of the parent block. The sample spacing was all 1m
and no compositing was required. A top cap of 3ppm Au was applied to only 2
samples. An isotropic search distance of 50m x 50m x 5m was run with a minimum of 4
samples and a maximum of 8 samples to estimate a parent block. After the initial first
pass only a small handful of blocks had not estimated and were assigned the average
grade of the surrounding estimated blocks.
Moisture
Tonnages are estimated on a dry basis.
Cut-off parameters
The Mineral Resource for Bonnie Vale have been reported above a 0.5g/t Au cut-off for
open pit Mineral Resource above the 315mRL and a 1.5g/t Au cut-off for the Mineral
Resource below the 315mRL. This is based on a gold price of AUD $2,200.

The tails stockpiles have only been reported within mineable/recoverable volumes that
exceed 0.4ppm Au cut-off.

Operating costs considered include underground mining, transport to and processing
at FML’s Three Mile Hill processing plant (10km away) and administration.
Mining factors or
assumptions

Following on from the 2020 PFS update, a Life of Mine (LOM) plan was released on
24th October 2022 outlining the underground LOM mine plan for Bonnie Vale.

The Three Mile Hill Processing Plant (TMH Plant) has achieved practical completion

and is currently being commissioned (ASX 21/07/2023).

Future reclamation of the tails stockpiles is anticipated with haulage to, and processing
at TMH Plant 9km to the south. Given the material represent previously milled quartz
veins it is likely that this material can be blended for processing without displacing
primary material considered by the life of mine plan.

Environmental
factors or
assumptions

The Quarry Reef occurs within the historic Bonnie Vale mining centre with previous
ground disturbances including waste dumps and milling residues/tailings.

The PFS Environmental assumptions included the mine plan utilising all waste
generated as mine fill.
Bulk density
Bulk densities were assigned based on weathering profile and rock type. A density of
2.65 t/m3 was used for modelled quartz veins regardless of weathering. Values used
are based on test work carried out on ½ diamond core. The water immersion technique
was used for these determinations. Oxide Ultramafic (UM) and Felsic Granodiorite
(FGD)= 2.0t/m3; transitional FGD=2.4/m3 and Fresh FGD=2.66/m3; transitional
UM=2.7/m3 and Fresh UM=2.9/m3.

A bulk density of 1.6 t/m3 was applied to the tail’s stockpiles. This figure is based on
the approximate bulk density of sand similar to the processed quartz material.

Criteria Commentary
Classification
Resources have been classified as either Indicated or Inferred based mainly on
geological confidence in the geometry/continuity of the lodes and drill density. In
addition, various estimation output parameters such as number of samples, search
pass, kriging variance, and slope of regression have been used to assist in
classification.

The SE portion of the main Quarry Lode has been infill drilled on an irregular grid but
averages 20m x 30m and a large proportion of the lodes filled in the first pass. A shape
was created to code blocks within as Indicated. Lodes outside this shape were also
classed as Indicated if they filled in the first search pass and had sufficient drill
coverage. Remaining blocks that filled in predominantly the second search pass were
classified as Inferred, with drill spacing averaging 50m x 50m. Lodes that had been
extended based on 1 or 2 holes were classified as Sub-Inferred, below reportable
classification and are future exploration targets.

The tail’s stockpiles have been classified as Indicated with 10m x 10m spaced drilling.
Audits or reviews
No external audits of the mineral resource have been conducted.
Discussion of
relative accuracy/
confidence

The Mineral Resource relates to global tonnage and grade estimates.

Bonnie Vale has historic production from 1894 to 1911 with recorded production
figures of 176,883oz at an average grade of 16.2 g/t, the grade matches well with this
Mineral Resource estimate of the high-grade core.

The Mineral Resource is reported inclusive of the Ore Reserve.
Site visits
The Competent Person is a full time Focus Minerals employee and makes regular visits to the

Study status
A Pre-Feasibility study was completed by Mining One mining consultants in September 2020.

The current mine design and economic evaluation is based on further studies completed in-
house byFocus Mineralspersonnel.
Cut-Off grade
parameters

Break-even Cut-Off grades (C.O.G) have been calculated using latest cost inputs from
Contractor Mining budget Rates, relevant suppliers’ quotations and estimates benchmarked with
similar mining operations in the region.

A Gold price of A$2,500/oz has been used.

A Processing recovery of 95.8% has been applied.

The mining method planned to be utilised is mechanised jumbo development and longhole
stoping with a combination of backfilled and open stopes.

For the first pass design of economic stopes, a Stope Incremental Cut-Off grade which does not
include capital and operating development costs but includes all other operating costs including
stoping, processing and mine general and administration (G&A) overhead costs has been used in
the Deswik Stope Optimizer inputs.

Stope dilution parameters discussed under ‘Mining factors or assumption’ have been
incorporated.

Stopes have been re-evaluated after inclusion of dilution to take out any stopes that fall below the
relevant Cut-Off grades.

Then, the economics of miningeach individual level has been evaluated based on all capital and

Market Announcement | Page 28 of 31

all operating costs required to mine the level. These costs are a combination of level direct costs
and shared costs which have been apportioned based on total mined material. Two of the
fourteen planned levels have been evaluated to be uneconomic at the $2,500/oz gold price used
in the evaluation. Those two levels have not been included in the estimated Ore Reserve. There
is potential for the two becoming economic with grade control drilling.

Various Cut-Off grades have been used in estimating the reported Ore Reserve
o
A Fully Costed Stope C.O.G of 3.05g/t which covers for all costs (mining,
processing and mine G&A.
o
A Level Costed Stope C.O.G of 2.47g/t which excludes capital costs but includes
ore drive development costs and all other operating costs including processing and
mine G&A.
o
An Incremental Stope C.O.G of 2.10g/t which excludes all development costs but
includes all other operating costs including processing and mine G&A.
o
An Incremental Stope C.O.G of 1.87g/t similar to the one above but is for stopes
planned to have no backfill.
o
A development Ore C.O.G of 0.50g/t has been used for determining whether
development material is hauled to ore or to waste. This C.O.G covers for surface
haulage and processing costs only.

93% of the estimated Ore Reserve is comprised of stopes and development ore that meets the
fullycosted stope C.O.G of 3.05g/t.
Mining
factors or
assumptions

The mining method planned to be utilised is mechanised jumbo development and longhole
stoping with a combination of backfilled and open stopes. The planned backfill is a combination of
cemented rockfill (CRF) and loose rockfill.

The stoping sequence is planned to be a bottom-up mining sequence in blocks of three to four
levels.

This mining method has been and is being utilised successfully in comparable and similar
orebody size, configuration, and ground conditions in Western Australia and elsewhere.

Geotechnical studies have been completed by external Geotechnical consultants to determine
stable stope sizes and geometries.

The orebody is generally flat with the dip ranging from 40 to 55 degrees.

Level intervals are planned to be 15m floor to floor in shallow dipping areas of the orebody and
increased to 18m in areas with steeper dip. The objective is to minimise stope spans, stope ore
dilution and support the efficient mining of the stopes.

Ore drives are planned to be a minimum of 4.0m wide.

A conservative stope strike length of 25m has been planned before the placement of backfill to
maintain geotechnical stability. Where there is no top access for the placement of backfill, rib
pillars are planned to be left in-situ to maintain geotechnical stability. The recommendations from
the completed geotechnical study have longer stope strike lengths.

Mineable stope shapes were created using the Deswik Software, Stope Optimiser (SO).

A minimum stope mining width of 1.8m was applied to the stope design process. The orebody
true thickness ranges from about 1m to 10m wide.

An additional planned stope dilution of 0.5m hangingwall and 0.5m footwall was applied in the SO
input parameters in line with the expected Equivalent Linear Overbreak Slough (ELOS) from the
stope stability curve derived in the Geotechnical studies.

An additional stope dilution of 10 % was applied in the Deswik production scheduling software
(Deswik.Sched).

No additional dilution was applied to the ore drives.

All dilution has been applied with a grade of (zero) 0g/t.

Stope shapes were created using gold grade as the SO optimisation field with the Incremental
Stope Cut-Off grade applied.

Stopes were re-evaluated after the application of the additional 10% mining dilution to take out of
the Ore Reserve the stopes with grades lower than relevant Cut-Off grades.

Mining recoveries were applied in the Deswik.Sched as follows:

Mining recovery for backfilled stopes – 98%

Mining recovery for open stopes – 83%

Mining recovery for development ore – 100%

Any Inferred Mineral Resources that could not be selectively excluded from the stope design
shapes were assigned (zero) 0g/t. Any such stopes were re-evaluated to check if they still met

the relevant Cut-Off grades.
Metallurgical
factors or
assumptions

The Bonnie Vale underground mine ore is planned to be processed at the existing refurbished
Three Mile Hill processing plant owned and operated by Focus Minerals. The processing plant
utilises a conventional carbon-in-pulp (CIP) circuit, which is appropriate for the type of
mineralisation.

The CIP process is a conventional gold processing method commonly used in similar operations
worldwide and is well tested and proven.

The Bonnie Vale underground mine ore will be blended with other Focus Mineral ore sources.

A metallurgical recovery of 95.8% has been applied in line with the 3% discounted recovery
determined by the Metallurgical studies completed in the 2020 Pre-Feasibility studies.

There are no known deleterious elements expected in the Bonnie Vale underground mine ore.
Environment
al

The Bonnie Vale underground mine is located wholly within granted Mining Leases.

Heritage surveys have been completed for the underground mine area. No Aboriginal sites were

The purchase and installation costs for all the required infrastructure has been included in the
economic evaluation of the project.

Power will be provided by diesel Gensets.

Raw water will be supplied from existing bores and from pumping any water intercepted in the
new underground excavations.

The site is serviced byan existinghaul road which is capable of handling125t road trains.
Costs
The costs used to derive this Ore Reserve estimate are based on Contractor Mining budget
rates, relevant suppliers’ quotations and estimates benchmarked with similar mining operations in
the region.

Ore haulage costs are based on the currently engaged haulage contractor’s rates.

Freight for mining consumables is included in the mining contractor schedule of rates.

Ore processing costs are based on the Focus Minerals’ Three Mile Hill Processing plant
processing costs. There are No penalties or specifications.

Allowance has been made for royalties as follows:

2.5% for State Government royalty and,

an allowance for Native Title royalty pending commercial agreement.

There are no known deleterious elements, as such no allowance has been made.

All costs have been estimated in Australian dollars.
Revenue

government agencies and these are planned to be in place before the start of operations.
Other
No identifiable naturally occurring risks have been identified to impact the Ore Reserves.
Classification
Mineral Resources have been converted to Ore Reserve as per JORC 2012 guidelines, i.e.,
Measured to Proven, Indicated to Probable.

The Ore Reserve includes 1% of the total ore tonnes which are in the Inferred resource category.
These ore tonnes have been assigned a grade of zero (0)g/t. This Inferred resource material
could not be selectively excluded from the stope design shapes.

The estimated Ore Reserve is classified as Probable as there are no Measured ore resources.
Audits or
reviews

The Ore Reserve has been estimated by Focus Minerals personnel. The cost and mining
parameters were reviewed internally and benchmarked against operations with similar orebodies
and operating structures.

No external audits were carried out.
Discussion of
relative
accuracy/
confidence

In the opinion of the Competent Person, the modifying factors and cost assumptions used in
generating this Ore Reserve estimate are reasonable.

No statistical procedures were carried out to quantify accuracy of the Ore Reserve estimate.
