Focus Minerals Ltd Activities and Cashflow Report for March Quarter 2017
Operational Highlights During the Quarter
During the March Quarter, Focus Minerals Ltd (“Focus”, “FML” or the “Company”) made substantial progress towards the Coolgardie Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS), due for completion in approximately one month. The Company has also advanced its priority targets at both Coolgardie and Laverton. During the quarter the Company drilled 47 reverse circulation (RC) holes for 10,780m and ten diamond holes (DD)/diamond tails for 2,847.1m across Coolgardie and Laverton. Significant results were first released to the ASX on 10 April 2017 and 28 April 2017 for Coolgardie and Laverton, respectively.
Coolgardie Gold Project
During the March Quarter, 35 RC holes for 7,697m and ten diamond holes/diamond tails for 2,847.1m were drilled at Coolgardie. Details of these activities, including the significant intercepts, were released to the ASX on 10 April 2017.
Drilling at Coolgardie recommenced on January 25 2017. The main focus of current work is RC/DD exploration and infill drilling at Brilliant as well as resource in-filling and testing lode extensions and Bonnie Vale. In addition to the drilling at Brilliant and Bonnie Vale, an RC exploration drilling program has been planned to test for lode extensions to the south and north of Lindsays with the goal of identifying exploration targets.
Highlights from the drilling include the high-grade gold intersections:

The drilling at Coolgardie is ongoing, the main focus will be the exploration and infill drilling in the Tindals and Bonnie Vale areas to further define and expand the Mineral Resources.
Laverton Gold Project
Results have been received from 12 RC holes drilled on the Karridale Project, during the March Quarter. The 3,083m of drilling was part of an ongoing programme designed to extend and infill the gold mineralised system. Wet weather events continued to restrict access to critical parts of Karridale in 2017 interfering with the assessment of the project.
Highlights from the recent drilling include the high grade gold intersections:
-
8m @ 3.15 g/t from 32m in KARC230.
-
4m @ 5.68 g/t from 93m in KARC236.
-
1m @ 36.50 g/t from 155m in KARC237.
Full details are available from ASX release dated 28 April 2017.
Focus plans approximately a further 10,700m of drilling as part of the current RC programme. The additional RC drilling being primarily for infill and strike extension testing. To speed up the programme a second RC rig has been sourced. In the later part of the June Quarter, an eight hole diamond core programme is planned to test down plunge positions to the northwest of the RC pattern, as well as into the footwall position to better define the mineralised system. The core programme is planned to total about 4,115m. In addition, a number of short diamond drill tails will be added to critical RC holes that were unable to reach planned depth because of ground conditions.
To the north of Karridale, and about 600m south of the Sickle gold mine, Focus drilled two scout RC holes for a total of 468m. No significant results were recorded.
Cash Position at End of March Quarter 2017
Focus remains in a strong financial position with $62.1M in cash and equivalents at 31 March 2017 (31 December 2016 $64.4M).
