ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

30 October 2017

Focus Minerals Ltd Activities and Cashflow Report for September Quarter 2017

Operational Highlights During the September Quarter

During the September Quarter, Focus Minerals Ltd (“Focus”, “FML” or the “Company”) finalised the Coolgardie Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS), the results of which were released to the ASX on 13 October 2017, and commenced the next stage of drilling at Laverton.

Several opportunities for value creation were identified during the PFS process. The priority for the December 2017 Quarter is to use this information to determine the path forward for Coolgardie.

Focus’ cash remains strong at the end of the September Quarter, at $54.7M. The strong cash balance enables the Company to pursue the dual strategy of ongoing exploration at both Coolgardie and Laverton as well as planning for a potential restart of operations at Coolgardie.

Coolgardie Gold Project

During the September Quarter, Focus’ exploration team conducted a detailed review and interpretation of recently completed exploration programs at Coolgardie. Based on this work, a small diamond drilling program has been planned at Bonnie Vale to test the high-grade gold mineralisation extension to the north east in depth.

The Company has already begun the Bonnie Vale drilling program and will provide an update on this activity as soon as results are received.

Laverton Gold Project

Commencing on July 2, 2017, a diamond core drilling programme saw 16 diamond core tails added to pre-existing RC holes at the Karridale and Lancefield projects. At Karridale, 13 diamond tails totalling 3,554.6m were drilled, with the deepest hole terminating 720.6m downhole. At Lancefield, three diamond tails for 1,314.95m were added, with the deepest hole being 651.8m downhole. All drilling at Karridale has been at a nominal 60[o] dip towards 145[o] azimuth (GDA94 z51 grid). All drilling at Lancefield is collared vertically, with a tendency to drift towards an WNW direction.

Results are being compiled analysed for both areas. The geological interpretation at Karridale and Lancefield has been updated and gold grade wireframes of the mineralisation are being constructed to allow resource estimates to be calculated.

Overview of the Karridale and Lancefield Projects

The Karridale Project extends across six mining and exploration tenements within the Burtville district, 30km from Laverton and some 2km south of the Burtville open cut owned by Focus Minerals. M38/8, M38/261, E38/2032 and E38/1642 are wholly owned by Focus. M38/73 and M38/89 are held under the Merolia Joint Venture between Focus Minerals (Laverton) Pty Ltd and GSM Mining Company Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Gold Fields). Focus holds a 91% interest in these joint venture tenements.

The Lancefield Project now comprises four mining leases (M38/37, M38/38, M38/159 and M38/1272). The ground is held 100% by Focus, with royalties as set out in the 2016 Annual Report (released to the ASX on 6 April 2017) and varied by agreement (announced to the ASX on 29 March 2017). Located some 8km from Laverton, the Lancefield Project is centred on the Lancefield Gold Mine which was mined between 1899 and 1994, with and extended closure from 1959 to 1980. During that time, the mine produced approximately 1.3Moz of gold.

Cash Position at End of September Quarter 2017

Focus remains in a strong financial position with $54.7M in cash and equivalents at 30 September 2017 (30 June 2017 $58.5M).

2017 (30 June 2017 $58.5M).
Cash at Bank and Deposits $38.6M
Cash held on bond $16.1M
Total Cash and Equivalents $54.7M
