Directors

Jisheng Lu Chairman – Non-Executive, Non-Independent Yuhuan Ge Director – Non-Executive, Non-Independent Wanghong Yang Director – Executive Gerry Fahey Director – Independent Peter Hepburn-Brown Director – Independent, appointed on 10 April 2015 Zaiqian Zhang Alternate Director to Jisheng Lu – Executive

Review of Operations

Exploration

During the first half of 2015, Focus Minerals continued to follow up on the high potential areas which were identified in the 2014 exploration programmes. Combining ground work and desktop research, the Company was able to test the extensions both at depth and along the strike of several known mineralisations and identify secondary exploration targets. This work was a substantial contribution to the process of re-establish the resource pipeline for future production.

Coolgardie

A total of 27 holes were drilled across the Coolgardie Gold Project, consisting 4,531.5m of RC and 1,115.6m of diamond core.

The main focus for the first six months of the year was on Bonnie Vale. The programmes were designed to explore the extensions of the high-grade mineralised reefs at Bonnie Vale while also testing secondary targets nearby such as Calisto and Bonnie Vale West.

Highlights of the drilling results from Bonnie Vale and its vicinity are:

  • 2.0m @ 12.84 g/t Au from 229m in BONC064;

  • 1.0m @ 10.41 g/t Au from 334m in BONCD065;

  • 5.5m @ 11.81 g/t Au from 223m in BONCD066;

  • 1.0m @ 10.43 g/t Au from 111m and

  • 3.7m @ 10.48 g/t Au from 151.3m and

  • 2.5m @ 13.88 g/t Au from 181m in BONDD068;

  • 2.0m @ 14.18 g/t Au from 118m in BONC070.

Besides Bonnie Vale, Focus also conducted drilling at Brilliant North in order to test the Brilliant Pit’s northern extension potential. The highlight is as follows:

  • 1.2m @ 7.3 g/t Au from 246m in BRRCD037.

Laverton

A total of 90 holes for 3,860m were drilled across the tenements in Laverton. Focus also conducted two rounds of geophysics activities during the first half of 2015 with a main focus on the Burtville-Karridale trend, accompanied with a range of secondary targets testing.

The Karridale diamond drilling programme intersected arsenopyrite rich, hydrothermal breccia with high-grade gold mineralisation. It was the first such intersection at Karridale. The new breccia zone appears unconstrained within the current drill pattern shape and there are indications that it has a potential of leading to a large structural system. The screen fire assays from the breccia zone included 8m @ 27.46g/t gold from 425m downhole.

Focus Minerals Ltd – Financial Report for the half year ended 30 June 2015

A 603km airborne geophysical survey was flown over 9 tenements in the Burtville area, providing data to allow the team to identify potential sulphide mineralised zones and 3D modelling for regional drill targeting. A separate, 2km[2] , Sub-Audio Magnetic ground survey covered the Karridale Project and its extensions to map detailed structure to resolve controls on the project and nearby mineralised zones.

In addition, Focus commenced an air core drilling programme on a number of secondary targets in the region. At the time of this report, Focus has completed the programme with 7,313m drilled.

Corporate

For the half year period, the Company incurred a loss of $1.108 million and a net cash outflow of $6.185 million[1] . As at 30 June 2015, the Company has a net assets of $105.538 million with a cash balance of $79.929 million[2] .

Focus Minerals managed to identify further savings during the period. By examining previous accounting records, the Company successfully claimed $1.723 million from the ATO in relations to unclaimed R&D tax offsets, fuel tax credits and GST on imported goods, dating back to the financial year ended 30 June 2008.

The Company also completed the 1 for 50 share consolidation, as a result, the volatility of the shares has fallen significantly.

Auditor’s Independence Declaration

The declaration required under Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on Page 6.

Rounding of Amounts

The Company is of a kind referred to in Class Order 98/100, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to the ‘rounding off’ of amounts in the Directors’ Report. Amounts in the Directors’ Report have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest dollar.

This report is made in accordance with a resolution of the directors.

Focus Minerals Ltd – Financial Report for the half year ended 30 June 2015

Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Report for the Half Year Ended 30 June 2015

Note 1: Basis of preparation of half-year report

The interim financial report of Focus Minerals Limited (“the Company”), together with its consolidated reporting entities (“the Group”) for the half-year reporting period ended 30 June 2015 has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.

This interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2014 and any public announcements made by Focus Minerals Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise noted below.

(a) Government Grants

Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. If the assets related to government grants have been fully impaired, amortised or depreciated, the grant received is recorded in the income statement as other income. This accounting policy has been adopted for the first time due to the receipt of a tax refund. Refer Note 3 for further details.

(b) New and amended standards adopted by the Group

A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period, however, the Group did not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these standards.

(c) Impacts of standards issued but not yet applied by the Group

There are no standards that are not yet effective and that are expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

Note 2: Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer.

All of Focus Minerals Limited’s subsidiaries are wholly owned. The Group has three reportable segments, as described below, which are the Group’s strategic business units.
