TSX.V: FKM OTCQB: FKMCF Frankfurt: F7E1

ROUYN-NORANDA, QC, Nov. 26, 2024 /CNW/ - Fokus Mining Corp. ("Fokus" or the "Company") (TSXV: FKM) (OTCQB: FKMCF) (FSE: F7E1) is pleased to announce the initiation of its 2024-2025 exploration program on the Galloway Property ("Galloway Project") located in Abitibi, Québec, along the Cadillac-Larder Lake Fault Zone in the province of Québec, between the Rouyn-Noranda and Kerr-Addison mining camps.

Fokus is focusing on advancing the Galloway Project, in the Abitibi region, 20 km west of Rouyn-Noranda. This is a 2,866-hectare project near the Cadillac-Larder Lake Fault Zone, known for its prolific mineral endowment. Recent work on the Western claims of the Galloway Property outlined a NI 43-101 inferred mineral resource of 1.42 million ounces of gold (41.2 Mt at 1.07 g/t Au) at US$1,750/oz, or 1.79 million ounces (57.5 Mt at 0.97 g/t Au) at US$1,960/oz, as detailed in our March 23, 2023 press release.

Philippe MacKay, President and CEO of Fokus Mining, stated: "This is an exciting period for Fokus Mining Corporation as we work to unlock the full exploration potential of the Galloway Property and deliver value for our shareholders. We plan to commence a 1,800 meter drill program imminently and initiate a geophysical program in early Q1 2025 on the Hendrick Deposit. We believe that the Galloway Project is a remarkable opportunity, particularly as major mining companies increasingly seek deposits like ours in safe jurisdictions."

Key Objectives of the 2024-2025 Exploration Program

1) Resource Expansion on GP-RB and Hendrick Zones:

• Extend by drilling the GP-RB zones, both at surface and at depth.
• Build upon historical drilling data, including a notable intercept of 2.33 g/t Au over 24m drilled by Kerr-Addison.
• Focus on drilling the Eastern portions of the Hendrick Zone to increase mineral resources.
• Test the previously unexplored area between the GP-RB Zone and Hendrick Zone to investigate potential mineralization.

2) Geophysics Using Deep Titan Survey:

• Deploy advanced Deep Titan Survey technology to enhance the geological understanding at depth of the Hendrick deposit, hosting significant gold and copper mineralization.

3) Exploration of New Targets:

• Drill new areas near Zone 59 (Hole GA-21-59) to assess potential mineralized connections between the Hendrick Zone and Zone 59.
