Focus Minerals Ltd Activities and Cashflow Report for September Quarter 2016
Exploration Highlights During the Quarter
During the September Quarter, Focus Minerals Ltd (“Focus” or the “Company”) was able to restart drilling at Laverton and has received strong results from its Coolgardie drilling. Exploration is ongoing with two drill rigs at Laverton and another at Coolgardie.
Focus was pleased to be able increase its Bonnie Vale Mineral Resource to 195,000 ounces on 28 October 2016. Work is continuing on this highly prospective deposit.
Coolgardie Gold Project
During the quarter, 73 holes were drilled, consisting 14,441m of reverse circulation (RC) and 966.8m of diamond core (DD). Details of these activities, including the significant intercepts, were released to the ASX on 22 September 2016.
Bonnie Vale
During the quarter, 35 holes were completed for 9,484m of RC at Bonnie Vale. The program was designed to explore the north-westerly extensions of the high-grade mineralised reefs defined during 2014 and 2015 drilling campaigns. Drill results from Bonnie Vale were very encouraging and included:
-
BONC134: 2m @ 45.63g/t Au from 91m and 1m @ 23.9g/t Au from 146m and 1m @ 58.70g/t Au from 230m
-
BONC136: 2m @ 22.25g/t Au from 203m
-
BONC142: 3m @ 11.75g/t Au from 57m and 1m @ 8.59g/t Au from 70m and 2m @ 4.84g/t Au from 204m
-
BONC146: 2m @ 4.21g/t Au from 52m and 3m @ 15.11g/t Au from 250
-
BONC153: 3m @ 25.07g/t Au from 268m
-
BONC158: 4m @ 9.60g/t Au from 214m
-
BONC159: 2m @ 7.81g/t Au from 264m
The Bonnie Vale Mineral Resource has been updated (see ASX October 28, 2016). The new estimate is substantially larger at 821,000 tonnes @ 7.4g/t Au for 195,000 ounces of contained gold, comprising:
-
Indicated Resource: 474kt at 9.1 g/t Au for 139,000 contained ounces
-
Inferred Resource: 347kt at 5.0 g/t Au for 56,000 contained ounces
-
Total Mineral Resource: 821kt at 7.4 g/t Au for 195,000 contained ounces
Greater Tindals District
In the Greater Tindals District, 36 RC holes for 4,957m and two DD holes for 966.8m were completed during the Quarter. The projects drilled in Greater Tindals District include Possum, Brilliant, Garden Gully and Tindals West. Significant results released to the ASX on 22 September 2016 include:

- TND16066: 0.7m @ 11.35g/t Au from 301.75m in hole
Garden Gully and Tindals West
- TND16075: 1m @ 8.29g/t Au from 63m and 1m @ 10.75g/t Au from 70m and 1m @ 12.05g/t Au from 204m
Current Work
Drilling at Coolgardie is ongoing and is anticipated to continue for the remainder of the year. The main focus will be the RC infill drilling at Possum, follow-up RC drilling testing conceptual targets identified from the 2D seismic survey completed earlier this year and a regional exploration program throughout the Coolgardie area.
Laverton Gold Project
Drilling recommenced at the Karridale Project towards the end of August 2016. Seven RC holes for 1,634m were completed by the end of September 2016.
RC drilling was suspended in April due to difficult ground and abnormally wet weather conditions restricting equipment access. The Company revised the drilling plan and now is estimated to drill 42 RC holes for approximate 11,000m by the end of 2016.
As with the earlier RC drill program, the current phase is designed to:
-
Resolve gold grade plunge distribution down dip from Karridale;
-
Resolve gold grade distribution around the Boomerang mine;
-
Confirm gold grade continuity between the Karridale and Boomerang sites; and
-
Pick up the near surface positions of intermediate gold zones that are interpreted to sit between Karridale and Boomerang.
As previously announced (ASX 29 April 2016), drilling to date has confirmed that gold mineralisation at Karridale is primarily associated with multiple, stacked, shear zones, flatly dipping to the northwest. Also, the deeper mineralisation under Karridale appears to be the down dip extension of mineralisation of the Boomerang mine some 600m to the southeast.
Drilling at Karridale is expected to continue for the rest of the year.
