About Fokus Mining Corp.

Fokus Mining is a mineral resource company focused on acquiring and exploring precious metal deposits in Quebec, Canada, particularly in the Abitibi region, 20 kilometres west of Rouyn-Noranda, with its flagship Galloway project. The 100-per-cent-owned Galloway project covers an area of 3,086 hectares and is located just north of the Cadillac-Larder Lake fault. The Galloway project hosts a National Instrument 43-101 inferred mineral resource of 1.42 million ounces of gold (41,195,000 tonnes grading 1.07 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au)) at a gold price of $1,750 (U.S.) per ounce, as disclosed in the company's March 23, 2023, news release. A sensitivity analysis shows that, at a gold price of $1,960 (U.S.) per ounce, the inferred resource increases to 1.79 million ounces of gold (57,546,000 tonnes grading 0.97 g/t Au). Following the 2025 acquisition of properties from Visible Gold Mines, Fokus's land package now totals 9,559 hectares along the Cadillac-Larder Lake fault. This includes the Cadillac Break, Lucky Break, Wasa Creek, Wasa East, Silidor and Stadacona-East properties, all of which are 100 per cent owned, as well as a 40-per-cent interest in the Capricorn property.
