Focus Ventures Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FCV) announces results from its Reventon
project in Mexico. Focus' subsidiary, Minera Oro Pacific S.A. de C.V., holds an
option agreement covering Reventon with Grupo Northair de Mexico S.A. de C.V., a
subsidiary of International Northair Mines Ltd. 


Focus drilled approximately 500m in two holes at the Estrella and Chicle
targets. Although the drilling successfully cut the high-grade silver
mineralisation at depth, it did not intersect the wide mineralized zones seen at
surface. The best intersections were 2m @ 305 g/t Ag + 0.3 g/t Au from 239.6m
downhole at Chicle, and 2m @ 115 g/t Ag from 188m downhole at Estrella.
Accordingly, Focus decided to terminate the drill program early and has notified
Northair that it will relinquish its option.


Focus' technical team will now concentrate on advancing the Company's portfolio
of phosphate projects. The Company recently announced that it has signed a
binding letter of intent with Juan Paulo Quay SAC for the exploration and
acquisition of the Bayovar 12 phosphate mining concession, located 70 kilometres
south of the city of Piura in northern Peru, close to Vale's operating Bayovar
phosphate mine. Focus believes the Bayovar 12 property shows potential to host a
large sedimentary phosphate deposit and is planning a systematic grid-based
drill program which will commence as soon as exploration permits are received
from the authorities (see press release dated September 10, 2013).


Sampling Quality Analysis and Quality Control

Core was first split in half using a diamond core splitter and then logged, and
each box photographed prior to sampling. Half-core samples were bagged,
security-sealed and transported by Inspectorate to their laboratories in Durango
for preparation and shipping of pulps to Reno for analysis. Silver was
determined by multi-acid digestion and ICP-AES, with fire assay gravimetric
finish. Gold was assayed by Atomic Adsorption Spectrometry with fire assay
gravimetric finish. Quality control by Oro Pacific involved the insertion of
blind certified standards and blanks into the sample stream at regular intervals
in order to independently assess analytical precision and accuracy of each batch
of samples as they are received from the laboratory.
