Operationally, significant achievements during the Quarter included:
-
The opening of the Tindals Mining Centre Open Pit operations, Focus’ second new mining operation this year. This saw the first ore being processed from the Empress Open Pit (17,000t @ 1.67g/t) and commencement of ore development at the Dreadnought Open Pit. Approvals were also received at the end of the month to commence development at Big Blow, the third pit at the Open Pit operations;
-
Commencement of long-hole stoping at The Mount. This saw Focus produce a total of 21,469t @ 2.81g/t for the Quarter from The Mount underground operation, which Focus opened in the March 2011 Quarter; and
-
A record 160,056t @ 3.17g/t of ore mined from the Company’s established Tindals Mining Centre Underground operations.
On the exploration front, Focus has accelerated its exploration program in-line with plans to have eight rigs operating by the start of the September Quarter. This has seen the commencement of exploration at two target areas in the Greater Coolgardie region - the Norris Project Area and the Three Mile Hill Project Area - plus the expansion of drilling at the Tindals Mining Centre and The Mount.
Importantly, Focus’ inaugural drilling program at the Treasure Island Gold Project at Lake Cowan has confirmed that high-grade mineralised veins continue at depth confirming the discovery of a new gold camp. This marks the start of an exciting exploration phase for Focus.
The results over 1km of strike have delivered exceptionally high-grade intercepts with new and existing mineralised veins appearing to be open in all directions, and Focus is now stepping out from the first holes and looking at other prospects across the lake with the mobilisation of a lake aircore rig that has commenced a +10,000 metre program along a 6km strike of favourable geology.
Focus achieved sales revenue of A$26.2 million from gold sales of 18,443oz at an average price of A$1,419/oz and delivered cash costs at A$981/oz. Cash costs are slightly higher than the average of A$870 achieved in the previous two Quarters, as they include the impact of operational ramp-ups, higher than usual mine development costs, and a mill reline.
Focus closed the Quarter with a strong balance sheet with total cash and equivalents of $32.7m.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION – FOCUS MINERALS LTD
Focus Minerals Ltd (ASX: FML) is a gold producer based in Western Australia’s Eastern Goldfields. The company holds the mineral rights to 449km[2] of tenements and is the largest landholder in the Coolgardie Gold Belt located 560km east of Perth and 35km west of the ‘Super Pit’ in Kalgoorlie-Boulder. Focus is currently in production from underground and open pit operations at its flagship Tindals Mining Centre in Coolgardie, adjacent to its 1.2Mtpa Three Mile Hill processing plant. In March 2011 it opened The Mount, a new high-grade underground mine, located 85km to the south of the processing plant. In addition Focus recently acquired 100% ownership in the highly prospective Treasure Island Gold Project, situated at Lake Cowan at the southern end of the Boulder-Lefroy fault.

OPERATIONS
Three Mile Hill Processing Plant
The Three Mile Hill processing plant continued its solid operating performance during the Quarter, processing 287,176 tonnes at an average grade of 2.15g/t.
Gold production for the Quarter met Focus’ guidance with 18,102 recovered ounces from processing a mix of ore from the Tindals Mining Centre Underground operations, development ore from The Mount Underground operations and development ore from the new Open Pit operations at the Tindals Mining Centre.
As foreshadowed in the March 2011 Quarterly, a planned 3.5-day mill shutdown in May to perform a reline reduced normal throughput by approximately 12,000 tonnes during the shutdown period and as the mill resumed production. The mill reline cost $1.5 million which added circa $83/oz to costs. With the Company’s additional investments at the Open Pits in pre-development, contractor engagement and mobilisation, cash costs were A$981 per ounce for the Quarter.
With a record performance from the Underground operations at the Tindals Mining Centre, the commencement of stoping ore from The Mount, and the build-up of development ore from the new Open Pit operations at the Tindals Mining Centre, production is expected to continue to ramp-up through the September Quarter.

Tindals Mining Centre
Underground Operations
Mine Development & Production
The Tindals Mining Centre Underground operations delivered a record Quarter, producing 160,056t @ 3.17g/t for 16,315 ounces.
Jumbo development was 1,095m for the Quarter with work focusing on the Countess, Empress and Perseverance ore bodies.
In the second half of the Quarter development commenced into the upper levels of the higher grade Countess area and this will continue to support grades over the next financial year from development and then stoping. Development from the 1005 Level at Countess produced 9,900t @ 5.7g/t at the end of the Quarter.
Work to allow re-access the Cyanide decline also commenced. Principal activity was upgrading parts of the power infrastructure to supply the additional working area and the commencement of a ventilation drive to connect Cyanide into an existing return airway. This will enable the commencement of rehabilitation of the decline in the September Quarter to enable the Company to access the reserve. The Cyanide ore body has a reserve of 392,000t @ 3.2g/t (as reported in the September Quarterly report 2010).
Exploration & Development
As part of the ongoing exploration and resource development program at the Tindals Mining Centre’s Underground operations a total of 10,927m of infill and resource/reserve extension diamond drilling was completed during the Quarter at the Countess, Empress and Cyanide deposits (Figure 1).
Towards the end of the Quarter, drilling targeted the area above Countess where historic drilling indicated patchy mineralisation. Initial results confirm the up dip extension of the Countess East Lode (Table 3). Ongoing drilling at Empress has confirmed the extension of the ore body to the north at depth (Table 4). A wide spaced step out program was conducted at the Cyanide deposit to assess the longer term potential of that resource. Drilling has confirmed the continuation of mineralisation at depth (Table 5).

Open Pit Operations
Mine Development & Production
Focus delivered a significant achievement during the June Quarter, opening its second new mining operation in CY 2011, the Tindals Mining Centre Open Pit operations.
During the Quarter, significant advancements were made with the first production ore being processed from the Empress Open Pit and commencement of ore development at the Dreadnought Open Pit. Approvals were also received at the end of the month to commence development at Big Blow, the third pit at the operations, which will commence during the September Quarter.
The mining contractor was mobilised during the Quarter with 2 excavators, 6 trucks, 1 blast hole rig and ancillary equipment on site by the end of Quarter.
Ore produced for the Quarter was 17,000t @ 1.67g/t at Empress (Figure 2). Total movement was 113,000 BCM between both Empress and Dreadnought Open Pits.
Targeted production for the coming Quarter is approximately 65,000t @ 1.9g/t from the Tindals Mining Centre Open Pit operations as the production ramp up continues.

Exploration & Development
Surface resource development and exploration work continued at the Tindals Mining Centre with a total of 11,260m of RC drilling completed during the Quarter with ore bodies targeted for detailed infill and resource/reserve extension drilling including Big Blow, Happy Jack, Empress (including Alicia) and Dreadnought.
The results received during the June Quarter from the in-fill and resource/reserve extension drilling have been very encouraging (Figure 3 and Tables 6, 7, 8 and 9).
Drilling at Big Blow has extended the mineralisation to the north of the current resource. The shallow drilling at Happy Jack has identified further mineralisation close to the surface. Both resources will be updated during the September Quarter to further assist mine planning. Deeper drilling will target potential underground resources at Big Blow during the September Quarter.
The drilling conducted in the Empress area during the Quarter targeted extensions to Empress and the fold nose area between Empress and Alicia. The results have been extremely encouraging and have highlighted the potential of this mineralised system (Figure 4). The drilling has located further mineralisation in the fold nose area between the two deposits.
Shallow drilling at Dreadnought identified further mineralisation close to the surface, which is being incorporated into the mine plan.

The Mount Underground Operations
Mine Development & Production
After the commencement of development ore in the March Quarter, Focus began long hole stoping at The Mount late in the June Quarter, producing a total of 21,469t @ 2.81g/t for the Quarter. Stoping ore has successfully been hauled to the surface during the Quarter.
In a planned move to be owner operator, Barminco were demobilised late in June for the transition to owner mining.
During the Quarter over 955m of jumbo development was completed intersecting some good faces on the German lode (Figure 5) and the 200m exploration cross cut to access the Fuchs lode was also completed. This also enables the Company to access around 10 gold-bearing structures within The Mount resource footprint.
By the end of the Quarter the Company had two single boom jumbos (Figure 6) and a small twin boom jumbo operating on site which are expected to start development on a number of gold bearing structures during the September Quarter. Narrower ore development will now commence on multiple lodes during the September Quarter.

Exploration & Development
As part of the exploration and resource development program underground at The Mount an underground diamond drill rig was mobilised to the project in mid-June. By the end of the Quarter a total of 1,135m of diamond drilling had been completed. The drilling was targeting the German Lode below the level of current production.

REGIONAL EXPLORATION
Greater Coolgardie
During the June Quarter the exploration team’s main focus at Coolgardie was moved beyond the Tindals Mining Centre area to focus on the rest of the Company’s tenement package around Coolgardie. The team is working through a thorough targeting exercise with drill rigs brought in to commence drilling the first couple of targets identified in the Greater Coolgardie area at the end of May.
A total of 4,052m of RC drilling and 317m of diamond drilling was completed during the Quarter at the Golden Web prospect within the Norris Project Area (Figure 7) and at the Greenfields prospect within the Three Mile Hill Project Area (Figure 8).
Norris Project Area
The Norris Project area has a resource of 1.9Mt @ 2.1g/t for 124,000oz and comprises a number of open pits mined in the 80s. The Company is currently testing extensions to the pit at the Golden Web deposit (historically mined at 3.97g/t) assessing down dip, down plunge and along strike potential. Soil anomalies and geophysics have highlighted a number of potential targets between Golden Web and the Norris pit, 4km along strike. With one rig at work in the area the goal is to build the resource and identify additional ore bodies.
The initial drilling at Golden Web has highlighted a series of potential high-grade mineralised shoots plunging to the southeast and by the end of the Quarter some encouraging results were received including 10m @ 5.2g/t Au from 107m, and 5m @ 3.5g/t Au from 121m (Table 10).

Three Mile Hill Project Area
The Three Mile Hill Project area has a resource of 1.5Mt @ 2.0g/t for 99,000oz and a reserve of 1.1Moz @ 1.7g/t for 60,000oz, with a number of historic deposits lying directly adjacent to the Three Mile Hill processing plant. Approximately 426,000oz has been mined historically in the project area.
The Company is currently testing along an intrusive dolerite sill which hosts the Three Mile Hill deposit with one rig on site at Greenfields targeting resource depth and strike extensions. The immediate exploration goal at the Three Mile Hill Project area is to expand resource and reserve.
Figure 8: Three Mile Hill Project area showing prospective dolerite sill and historic mining figures

Treasure Island Gold Project at Lake Cowan
During the Quarter, the Company completed its inaugural drilling program at the 100% owned Treasure Island Gold Project, 35km south-south east along strike from the major gold camp of St Ives at Kambalda. The results have confirmed the discovery of a new gold camp at the Treasure Island Gold Project (see ASX release dated 26th July 2011).
An initial 23 hole drilling program for 3,165m showed the high-grade mineralised vein structures mapped on the island extend at depth under the salt lake, with more than 50% of the assayed holes, which intersected significant intercepts, reporting results greater than 10g/t (Table 11).
Fine visible gold has been seen in most mineralised veins with the discovery of multiple new vein systems under the lake and some veins from the island showing greater width at depth.
The Treasure Island Gold Project, comprises 226km[2] of tenements situated on Lake Cowan. The initial drill programme has seen a lake diamond drill rig focus on the Black Dog and Blind Pew prospects, with drilling conducted from the lake bed.
The drilling at Black Dog has intersected mineralised quartz veins (Figure 9) with fine visible gold (Figure 10) and associated disseminated and blebby sulphides (mainly pyrrhotite). The most recent holes drilled at Blind Pew to the south have also shown an increased level of silicification and albite alteration, with the abundance of disseminated sulphides increasing.
The presence and increase of silicification and albite alteration, in association with the increase in blebby sulphides, is extremely encouraging as this style of alteration is very important throughout the Goldfields region as it normally indicates a more highly prospective part of a mineralised gold system. This style of mineralisation identified at Treasure Island is very similar to the St Ives style of gold mineralisation at Kambalda.
The drilling at Black Dog and Blind Pew has also intersected multiple, previously unknown, mineralised vein structures under the lake. The down hole widths of the mineralised veins are almost true widths. The widths of mineralised veins being intersected in the drilling at depth is extremely encouraging as they are much wider than the veins mapped on the island.
Additionally, one hole at Black Dog also intersected a lamprophyre. This is a very important and exciting piece of the puzzle at Treasure Island as lamprophyres are an intrusive rock that are commonly associated with lode gold deposits in Archaean terranes around the world. In the Yilgarn terrane in Western Australia (which includes the Goldfields), lamprophyres are found at many highgrade, million ounce plus deposits.
Focus is beginning to open up an exciting new gold camp at its Treasure Island Gold project. Diamond drilling will continue aggressively, and has now been joined by a lake aircore rig which has already commenced drilling a +10,000m programme across favourable geology and geophysical targets along a 6km strike. This will enable Focus to start to accelerate the early phase of exploration at this newly discovered gold system and start to unlock a 15km[2] area around the island.

CORPORATE
Gold revenue for the Quarter was A$26.2 million generated from the sale of 18,443 ounces of gold at an average price received of A$1,419/oz.
Capital investment and exploration expenditure for the Quarter totalled $17.6 million, comprising $5.8 million of mine capital development and $11.8 million of exploration expenditure. Exploration expenditure in the Quarter included $8.5 million attributable to the completion of the exploration decline and cross cut development costs at the Mount Project.
West Australian gold royalties paid for the Quarter totalled $581,000
Due to one off costs associated with the Company’s additional investments at the Open Pits in predevelopment, contractor engagement and mobilisation, and the mill reline, cash costs were A$981 per ounce for the Quarter. These factors pushed costs above the average A$870 range achieved in the previous two Quarters.
During the Quarter, the Company undertook a Placement and Share Purchase Plan to raise $39.3m to fund aggressive expansion and exploration programs accelerate key production and exploration programs. On 30 May 2011 the Company utilised part of the funds raised to provide a working capital advance of $3 million to Crescent Gold.
On 20th June, Focus and Crescent Gold Limited [ASX: CRE] jointly announced that they have agreed to merge the companies by way of a conditional off-market takeover bid by Focus for all of the issued shares in Crescent.
The transaction will make Focus one of Australia’s Top 5 gold producers with outstanding growth potential across two major Western Australian mining regions.
The consideration being offered to Crescent Shareholders is one Focus share for every 1.18 Crescent shares, representing a premium of 30.5% to Crescent’s closing price on 17 June 2011. At 28 July 2011 Focus had received acceptances totalling 45.77%. In association with the bid for Crescent Gold, the Company agreed to provide a working capital facility to a maximum of $10 million. Both advances are fully secured by a registered fixed and floating charge over the assets of Crescent Gold. Both advances may, at the election of the Company, convert the advances into convertible notes subject to the approval of Crescent shareholders in General Meeting. The convertible notes may be converted into Crescent Gold ordinary shares at the lower of 5 cents per share or 85% of the volume weighted average price of Crescent shares over the 5 trading days immediately preceding the date of the conversion notice. On conversion the Company will also be granted one free attaching option for every two Crescent shares issued on the conversion. The options are excisable at 5 cents per share with an expiry date of 31 December 2012.
Crescent Gold has issued a notice of General Meeting to be held on 18 August 2011 for Crescent Gold shareholders to consider approval for the conversion of the advances totalling up to $13 million into convertible notes on the terms summarised above.
At 30 June 2011, Focus held cash and bullion comprising:
| Cash at Bank | $30.7 million | |
|---|---|---|
| Bullion on Hand | $1.2 million | |
| Cash held on bond | $0.8million | |
| Total Cash and Equivalents | $32.7 million | |

Note for Drill Results Tables below : All mineralised intersections are quoted as down hole lengths with uncut gold values. For the underground drilling at Cyanide and Countess the intersections are approximate true thickness, while at Empress the true thickness is approximately 80% of the down-hole length. Gold grades are reported with a nominal cut-off grade of 2g/t Au. For the surface drilling at Big Blow and Happy Jack the intersections are approximately 50% of the down-hole length, while for Empress the true thickness is approximately 65% of the down-hole length. At Dreadnought the true thickness is difficult to determine due to the structural complexity of the mineralised lodes. At Golden Web the intersections are approximate true thickness. Gold grades for all surface drilling are reported at a nominal cut-off grade of 1g/t Au.
For Treasure Island the intersections are approximate true thickness, with gold grades reported at a nominal cut-off grade of 1g/t.
NSR = “no significant result” (above 1g/t).
