ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
28 October 2014
Focus Minerals Ltd Quarterly Activities Report for July – September 2014
Highlights for the Quarter
-
Stage 2 drilling at Bonnie Vale hit several high grade intersections (ASX: 8 October 2014).
-
Drilling ongoing at Laverton and Coolgardie balancing brownfields and greenfields targets.
-
Sale of The Mount in line with strategy to prioritise low cost and sustainable ore bodies.
-
Efficient early stage testing of potential for other commodities within Focus’ landholding, including geophysics at the Nepean nickel project, initiation of the Coolgardie Rare Metals Venture assessing the economic potential of Lithium and Potassium, and testing VHMS Copper targets at Admiral Hill (Laverton).
-
Strong relationship with traditional owners re-established through settlement of dispute with Wongatha and a mutually beneficial variation to a legacy land access agreement.
Corporate Activity During The Quarter
Financial Position Remains Strong
Focus remains in a strong financial position with $88.3M in cash and equivalents at 30 September 2014 (30 June $92.2m).
Focus’s corporate activities are closely aligned with the Company’s strategy to build a sustainable quantity of high margin ounces to enable a restart of mining operations while using our strong cash position to build shareholder value through high value acquisitions. This strategy is reflected in the very low ratio of non-exploration salaries to total exploration spend for the quarter ($0.29M of nonexploration salary versus $2.19M of exploration expenditure). At 30 September 2014, the Focus Group held cash and deposits of $88.3M, comprising:
| Cash at Bank and Deposits | $71.0M |
|---|---|
| Cash held on bond | $17.3M |
| Total Cash and Equivalents | $88.3M |
Asset Sales
During the quarter, Focus sold non-core assets including The Mount (announced to the ASX on 5 September 2014) and the Laverton camp (announced to the ASX on 15 September 2014). These sales were in line with the Company’s strategy of investing in assets that have the potential to contribute to a sustainable restart of mining operations and divesting those with less potential.
Coolgardie Rare Metals Venture
As announced to the ASX on 17 September 2014, Focus has entered into a venture with Cobre Montana (ASX:CXB) to evaluate lithium and rare metals (caesium, rubidium, gallium, tantalum, niobium) within 22 leases held by Focus. Cobre Montana is sole funding the exploration to the point
Quarterly Activities Report To 30 September, 2014
==> picture [76 x 53] intentionally omitted <==
of committing to a definitive feasibility study at which point Cobre Montana and Focus will enter a contributing joint venture (80% Cobre, 20% Focus).
Unmarketable Parcel Sale Facility
On the 8[th] of September, Focus announced it had instituted the sale of unmarketable parcels of the Company’s shares. The unmarketable parcel sale facility enables holders of small parcels to sell their Focus shares without incurring brokerage costs. This facility will lower the Company’s administration costs.
Wongatha Land Access Agreement
In March 2005, Crescent Gold signed a land access agreement with the Wongatha People. Focus Minerals acquired Crescent Gold in October 2011 and in March 2014, NEIB, acting on behalf of Wongatha, issued a letter to the Company demanding payments they claimed were owing from 2007. Focus and Wongatha settled this matter during the quarter and have re-established positive relations (announced to the ASX on 15 September 2014).
Exploration Activity During the Quarter
The Company’s exploration program is building upon the strategic plan developed in 2013. As discussed in previous announcements, this places the emphasis on finding higher-value ounces with a view to recommencing production at Coolgardie and Laverton, while simultaneously reviewing and divesting less prospective tenement holdings. FML has already made valuable cost reductions by significantly reducing the Laverton tenement portfolio (as announced to the ASX on 30 July 2014) and selling The Mount mine and associated tenements at Widgiemooltha (announced to the ASX on 5 September 2014).
Focus has also broadened the scope of its exploration activities within existing project areas by including base metals exploration within planned activities moving forward into the December quarter and beyond. Specifically, these include the recommencement of nickel exploration at the Nepean nickel mine south of Coolgardie, and the first properly structured exploration for VHMS-hosted copper mineralisation in the Admiral Hill area northeast of Laverton. These two areas of activity are not a departure from the main exploration strategy for gold, which remains the principal focus; instead the nickel and copper programs are intended to generate additional value from projects the Company already owns.
Drilling recommenced in Coolgardie at the start of September. During the quarter the company drilled 32 RC holes for a total of 6,013m at Coolgardie. No drilling was completed at Laverton but it has begun subsequent to the end of the quarter.
Coolgardie Gold Project
Focus completed a regional review of the geology of the Coolgardie project during the first half of 2014 (ASX: 30 July 2014). This work has greatly improved the Company’s ability to prioritise brownfields and greenfields targets with the most promise to identify resources to contribute to a sustainable restart of mining operations. The information gathered from the last drilling program is being used to prioritise exploration efforts for the second half of 2014.
Drilling recommenced on 2 September 2014. During the quarter 32 holes were drilled, consisting of 6,013m of RC. Figure 2 presents a map of the Coolgardie Gold Project and the priority exploration targets of the September quarter.

Bonnie Vale
11 holes were drilled at Bonnie Vale for 2,563m of RC. This round of drilling was designed as a followup to the high-grade intersections drilled earlier in the year, particularly testing mineralisation on strike of the Bonnie Vale and Vale of Coolgardie workings (see ASX release on 8 October 2014). Results highlighted in the 8 October 2014 release include:
-
1.0m @ 8.03 g/t Au from 192m in BONC045
-
2.0m @ 38.5 g/t Au from 95m in BONC046
-
1.0m @ 24.1 g/t Au from 58m in BONC047
-
2.0m @ 9.38 g/t Au from 92m in BONC050
-
4.0m @ 4.59 g/t Au from 100m in BONC052
-
5.0m @ 17.8 g/t Au from 128m in BONC053
Historically, Bonnie Vale was one of the larger and highest-grade gold producers in the Coolgardie field, and it has remained relatively under-explored since the original mining operations closed in the early part of the 20[th] century.

Brilliant
15 holes were completed for 2,444m of RC drilling immediately south of Brilliant. The company is awaiting assay results for this work. The drilling conducted in the September quarter is intended to test for additional mineralisation south of Brilliant from the southern end of the Brilliant resource envelope, with broad-spaced holes testing a strike length of approximately 1km towards the Perseverance mine – an area which includes small historic mine workings at Flagstaff and Lady Carmen.
ADA
4 holes were completed for 520m of RC drilling at Ada. The proposed drilling seeks to test continuity of the NW trending shear structure and associated mineralisation down plunge to the NW within the northerly dipping G2 unit of the TMH sill. Mineralisation at Ada is hosted by shears within the more brittle G2 unit of the TMH sill where it is associated with quartz stockwork vein sets commonly with pyrite. This drilling was unsuccessful in defining significant gold mineralisation, and no further work is planned.
Melanie Anne
2 holes were drilled for 486m of RC at Melanie Anne, with drilling ongoing at the end of September. The Company is awaiting assay results for this drilling.
The Melanie Anne program is designed to build upon exploration work conducted during 2012 and 2013, which resulted in a number of good intersections in close-spaced drilling including 6m @ 97.0g/t Au (ASX: 28 March 2013). Mineralisation is structurally complex, so the Company has decided to drill broad-spaced step-out holes to test the large-scale geometry of the deposit, and determine whether Melanie Anne is of sufficient size to justify further work.
Planned Work
In addition to further work on these priority areas, the Company will test a number of greenfields and brownfields prospects in the December quarter. These include initial reconnaissance drilling on a number of interesting structural and geochemical targets in the southern half the Company’s tenure which were highlighted by the regional targeting review.
Nepean Nickel Mine
The Company has also recommenced exploration for additional nickel sulphide mineralisation at the Nepean project, which has mainly lain dormant since its closure in 1985. Focus last investigated the possibility of reopening the mine in 2008, however this idea was postponed due to a slump in nickel prices at the time.
One of the challenges for mining and exploration at Nepean is a series of shallow-dipping pegmatites which intrude through the mine sequence and disrupt the local stratigraphy. The deepest-known pegmatite within the local mine area was encountered at the bottom of the underground workings, approximately 530m below surface. Despite subsequent unsuccessful attempts to drill through this level and explore for additional mineralisation at depth, the thickness of this pegmatite lens remains unknown. In this regard, there are similarities between Nepean and the early exploration history of Western Areas’ Flying Fox deposit, and as a result the project has untested exploration potential at depth if the thickness of the pegmatites can be ascertained.
In order to optimise future exploration at Nepean the Company decided to conduct a seismic survey perpendicular to the strike of the deposit and approximately 100m south of the main shaft. The intent of this survey is to capitalise on the differences in acoustic impedance between the main rock types, which make seismic an ideal technique to build a two-dimensional view of the lithological contacts between surface and approximately 2,000m depth. The 2D2R technique, in which one source line is
4
Quarterly Activities Report To 30 September, 2014
==> picture [76 x 53] intentionally omitted <==
used with a parallel line of geophone receivers on either side, was chosen as a cost-effective compromise between conventional 2D seismic work and a more expensive wide-scale 3D survey.
The 2D2R seismic survey was completed in late September. The data from this traverse is still being processed, with results expected towards the end of the year. If the seismic model shows sufficient depth of uninterrupted basal contact below and between the pegmatite lenses at depth, drilling will be proposed to test these areas during 2015.
Laverton Gold Project
At Laverton the exploration program has a longer-term emphasis on large, long-life targets to support the recommencement of mining operations. The Laverton tenement package is prospective for very large gold orebodies, with current and historic multi-million ounce mines in the region including names such as Sunrise Dam, Granny Smith, Wallaby and Lancefield. With a well-funded exploration program over the next three to five years and an intelligent mineral systems model to target large orebodies under cover, Focus is well positioned to capitalise on the potential of this region. Figure 2 presents a map of the Laverton Gold Project and the priority targets of the September quarter.

Quarterly Activities Report To 30 September, 2014

Activity in the field has shifted towards testing new targets which were generated as a result of the successful regional VTEM survey completed earlier in the year. There was no drilling completed at Laverton during the September quarter, with the bulk of the quarter occupied by analysis of drilling from the June quarter, target generation using the VTEM data and designing new drilling programs.
The VTEM data over the eastern portion of the Laverton tenement package covers approximately 22km of strike between the Admiral Hill and Black Label projects. In addition to a large number of interesting conductive anomalies the survey has also been of great value in adding to the geological knowledge of the area, allowing Focus to accurately map the Barnicoat Shear beneath alluvial cover and pin-point the position of carbonaceous shale horizons which tend to be proximal to gold mineralisation along the trend.
The survey also identified more than 100 conductors, which may relate to stratigraphy, sulphide mineralisation or false anomalies (e.g. saline groundwater or cultural features). The Company has sorted these to select the highest priority targets, with drilling planned to test eight of them in the December quarter.
Admiral Hill VHMS Cu Target
Recent re-mapping of the Admiral Hill pit has added weight to the theory that copper mineralisation in the area is the result of a volcanic hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) style depositional environment. Polymetallic VHMS deposits have produced significant amounts of the world’s zinc, copper, lead, silver and gold production. VHMS style mineralisation is recognised at a number of locations through the Archaean greenstone belts of the Yilgarn and usually comprise two distinct parts; a massive sulphide lens and a footwall sulphide stockwork zone. Mapping in the Admiral Hill pit identified oxidised copper sulphide stockwork at the contact between mafic lithologies and felsic volcanoclastic rocks. Such a bimodal volcanic contact position is a typical VHMS setting. This is a significant step towards understanding the origin of the copper mineralisation and it will inform future exploration planning.
Modelling of the VTEM anomalies beneath and adjacent to the pit produced conductive plate models, which coincided well with interpretations of copper distribution based on earlier RC drilling. Additional RC drilling into these copper targets will assist in targeting diamond core drilling in the next phase of work. The purpose of the proposed diamond core work is to gather additional support for the presence of a VHMS system. A common trait of VHMS deposits is that they occur in clusters or mining camps over a number of kilometres and a positive outcome for the Admiral Hill drilling would be an expanded base metal search along strike.
Historic drilling at Admiral Hill by Sons of Gwalia in the late 1990’s returned a number of highly anomalous copper intersections, including:
-
8m @ 3.1% Cu from 93m in AHC820;
-
5m @ 2.9% Cu from 124m in AHC873; and
-
5m @ 1.9% Cu from 65m in AHC833.
These were not drilled by Focus Minerals. Please refer to the table of significant intersections (Table A) and JORC Table 1 in the attached appendices for full details.
Gold Targets
The priority targets to be tested for gold mineralisation include a mix of known prospects which have been elevated in the target rankings as a result of the VTEM interpretation, and new prospects along the Barnicoat trend. Drilling in the December quarter is planned to include holes at Black Label and Ida H, Sickle and Sickle East, and three anomalies in the Barnicoat area. Additional follow-up work is also planned at Karriedale (south of Burtville, outside the VTEM survey area) to build upon the positive results from last year’s drilling there.
