Fokus Mandates InnovExplo to Carry out a Mineral Resource Assessment (Following NI 43-101) for the Galloway Project

TSX.V: FKM              OTCQB: FKMCF       Frankfurt: F7E1

ROUYN-NORANDA, QC, Sept. 23, 2021 /CNW/ - Fokus Mining Corporation ("Fokus" or the "Company") (TSXV: FKM) (OTCQB: FKMCF) (FSE: F7E1) is pleased to announce that it has mandated InnovExplo Inc., consultant in geology and mining engineering in order to begin mineral resources estimates update on the GP Zone and initial estimates of the AuEq on Hendrick and Moriss zones and overall Golden Triangle area of the Galloway project, where a major drilling program is still underway. InnovExplo will also make a series of recommendations in order to maximize the data from actual and future drilling.

Validation and interpretation of the geological data, preparation of advanced 3D models, and other exploration recommendations will be required to achieve those new independent mineral resources estimates following NI 43-101 and CIM Definitions, standards, and best practices. It is currently planned that the NI 43-101 report would be completed in the second quarter of the year 2022.

 Note that Fokus had already retained the services of InnovExplo to carry a study on the litho-geochemical characterisation of the different types of lithologies, alteration and mineralization encountered on the Galloway property.

Jean Rainville, CEO and President of Fokus states: "The last resource estimate was produced in 2012 and only included the work done at the time on the GP Zone and did not take into account the Hendrick and Moriss zones. Since then, we have completed over 30,000 additional meters of diamond drilling in these areas. We believe that the production of this evaluation is fully justified and that unfortunately, due to the delays in the drill hole analysis results, we will have to wait until Q2 to get the independent report. For now, we are continuing our planned 40,000 meter program while focusing our energies on the Hendrick zone."
