FOKUS MINING CORPORATION ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF SMALL PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Fokus Mining Corp. has held the closing of a small non-brokered private placement by issuing three million units at a price of five cents to five investors, for aggregate gross proceeds to Fokus of $150,000. Each unit consists of one common share of Fokus and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of Fokus at a price of six cents for a period of three years from the closing date. Proceeds will be allocated to general working capital purposes.

In connection with the private placement, the company did not pay any commission or finder's fee and no insiders participated in the placement. Following the private placement, there are 125,309,460 common shares of Fokus issued and outstanding. Under applicable legislation, the securities issued in the private placement are subject to a four-month hold period, expiring on Aug. 5, 2024.

The private placement remains subject to final approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Jean Rainville, president and chief executive officer of Fokus, said: "With 40 diamond drill holes now completed on our 100-per-cent-owned Galloway project in Abitibi since the release of our initial NI 43-101 resource estimate in March, 2023, and with the results of many of these holes still pending, and with the price of gold long expected to rise, it is time to re-evaluate all existing options before embarking on the next phase of our exploration efforts. This is a large property with many gold targets."
