ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

29 July 2016

Focus Minerals Ltd (ASX:FML) Quarterly Activities Report for April – June 2016

Exploration Activity During the Quarter

Focus Minerals Ltd (“Focus” or the “Company”) is committed to building a sufficient Ore Reserve to enable five years of high margin production which is sustainable in weaker gold price environments than we are currently experiencing. It is the ability to remain profitable across a wide range of gold prices that will ensure long term wealth creation for shareholders.

As such, exploration remains the core activity of the Company. At the time of publication of this Quarterly Activities Report, the Company had three drill rigs running in Coolgardie. These exploration programs are generating a wealth of information about Bonnie Vale and the Greater Tindals area. This information will be essential to the studies that need to be completed to help determine when Focus will enter production.

At Laverton, the June Quarter commenced strongly before exploration at Karridale had to be postponed due to unseasonably wet conditions. Exploration will begin again as soon as ground conditions are suitable, which we currently expect to be late August.

The following section provides some further information on the current programs, which are proceeding in line with the presentation released to the ASX on 25 May 2016. The Company expects to reach the next milestone in the current Coolgardie program in September and will then release a comprehensive update on the program, its results, and the Company’s next steps.

Coolgardie Gold Project

Summary

During the June Quarter, Focus made significant progress on our current exploration campaigns at Bonnie Vale and Greater Tindals. At 30 June, some 38 RC holes for around 8,300m and six DD holes (RC pre-collar for a diamond tail) for around 2,700m had been drilled at Bonnie Vale (seven RC holes for 1,268m, six DD holes for 1818.8m) and Greater Tindals (six RC holes for 1,806m and three DD holes for 835m at Brilliant and 25 RC holes for 5,212m). This work is ongoing; the Company has multiple drill rigs operating and will complete approximately another 9,700m at Bonnie Vale and 16,000m at Tindals during the remainder of the year.

A detailed discussion of these programs will be released once the next milestone is reached in September.

Bonnie Vale

At Bonnie Vale, drilling in the June Quarter focussed on testing the extensions of the Quarry Reef and the Westralia Reef. At the end of the June Quarter, the Bonnie Vale program still had approximately 9,700m left to drill. Once completed, the Company hopes to expand the Bonnie Value Quarry Reef Mineral Resource and better understand down-dip extensions at Westralia. The general target area of the current work at Bonnie Vale is presented in Figure 1 below.

Figure 1: Current Bonnie Vale Target Area

Greater Tindals - Brilliant

The June Quarter saw the continuation of an ongoing exploration program and resource definition work at Brilliant, where the three-pronged strategy is to:

  • 1) Further define near-surface mineralisation suitable to open pit mining methods proximal to the existing open pit;

  • 2) Assess the potential for underground mineable mineralisation beneath the current open pit; and

  • 3) Identify additional mineralisation in the vicinity of Brilliant.

There is still approximately 8,000 meters to be completed in the current campaign, which is expected to be completed at a similar time to the Bonnie Vale work. A detailed description of this work is expected to be released in September. Plan and section views of the current Brilliant target areas are presented below in Figures 2 and 3, respectively.

Laverton Gold Project

During the June Quarter, seven reverse circulation holes (KARC187 to KARC193) were drilled at the Karridale Project for a total of 1,320m. The holes were drilled as part of a 25 hole program that was continued from the March Quarter. Wet weather meant a further nine planned holes have not yet been able to be drilled. Regular rain events during the June Quarter saw the decision to postpone further drilling until the September Quarter.

The work that was completed in the June Quarter provided limited 40m spaced (collar positions) drilling around the historic Karridale and Boomerang underground mines as well as 80m spaced drilling to test for links between the Karridale and Boomerang zones. The highlights of the drilling results include:

  • KARC187 4m @ 4.60g/t Au from 98m

  • KARC188 7m @ 3.02g/t Au from 81m

  • KARC 189 1m @ 7.05g/t Au from 102m

  • KARC189 1m @ 6.76g/t Au from 129m

Full details of this drilling were released to the ASX on 29 April 2016.

A total of 16,850m from 62 holes is planned for the Karridale project, re-commencing in the September Quarter. The drilling has a three-fold purpose:

  1. Complete 40m x 80m spaced infill drilling between Karridale and Boomerang, to test and define the Karridale, upper Boomerang and Boomerang lodes. Current drilling in the central portion between Karridale and Boomerang is generally 80m x 80 at best, which is too broad spaced to model pinch and swell style of mineralisation with a high level of confidence.

  2. Step out drilling along strike around the Boomerang mine to resolve gold grade distribution.

  3. At the Karridale prospect, 140m and 200m step outs to the northeast and southwest respectively. This drilling is been designed to test the strike and down plunge of the high grade mineralised zone.

Corporate Activity During The Quarter

Focus remains in a strong financial position with $69.5M in cash and equivalents at 30 June 2016 (31 March $72.2M).
