Jean Rainville , President and CEO of Fokus said "With 40 diamond drill holes now completed on our 100%-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".

Fokus Mining Corporation 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, we are determined to unlock the secret of the Galloway gold Project.

The Galloway project covers an area of 2,865.54 hectares and is located just north of the Cadillac-Larder Lake deformation which extends laterally for more than 100 km. Numerous gold deposits are related to that structure and its extensions. The current work focuses on a western portion of the mineral claims where several mineral occurrences have been identified.
