About Fokus Mining Corp.

Fokus is a mineral resource company actively acquiring and exploring precious metal deposits located in the province of Quebec, Canada. In implementing this major undertaking within the Canadian mining industry, Fokus is determined to unlock the secret of the Galloway gold project.

The 100-per-cent Galloway project covers an area of 2,865.54 hectares and is located just north of the Cadillac/Larder Lake deformation, which extends for more than 100 kilometres. Numerous gold deposits are associated with the structure and its subsidiaries. The recent work focused on the western part of the mineral claims has allowed the company to delineate a National Instrumet 43-101 inferred resource of 1,419,000 ounces of gold at a price of $1,750 (U.S.) per ounce. This was published in the March, 2023, press release, which includes a sensitivity table showing that, at a price of $1,960 (U.S.) per ounce, the inferred resource increases to 1,788,000 ounces of gold.

The current work focuses on a western portion of the mineral claims, where several mineral occurrences have been identified.
