Focus Ventures Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FCV) ("Focus") and Stonegate Agricom Ltd.
(TSX:ST) ("Stonegate") are pleased to announce that following completion of due
diligence by Focus (see press release dated 2 August, 2013) they have entered
into an amended and restated Letter of Intent pursuant to which Focus has been
granted the exclusive right and option to earn a 70% interest in the Mantaro
phosphate deposit, located 250 km east of Lima in the District of Junin, central
Peru. 


To earn a 70% interest Focus must invest a total of US$25 million over 4 years
in exploration, including permitting and drilling, and the completion of a
feasibility study and an updated NI 43-101 Measured and Indicated Resource
calculation. Focus will implement a work program within the initial 18 months
that will include pilot plant testwork and a community relations and stakeholder
engagement program to obtain the necessary land access agreements and drill
permits required to commence further exploration and drilling. 


The joint news release dated May 21, 2013 contains detailed information on the
Mantaro property, including previous work completed by Stonegate.


About Focus Ventures

Focus is acquiring and developing quality phosphate projects in Latin America
