Fokus Mining Corporation announce that it began its winter drilling program on the Galloway Project in the Abitibi region last week. This campaign will be entirely devoted to drilling, with a minimum of 1,500 metres planned. As indicated in the press release of September 6, 2023, the first series of holes is being completed on the Moriss Zone for a total of around 950 metres with six shallow holes designed to validate a possible NS gold system.

Several holes had already intersected high gold values in this sector and an initial NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate for Moriss was released earlier in 2023: 514,000 tonnes grading 2.74 g/t gold. The program will also include a series of holes in the Fayolle sector located North East of Moriss. In other news, Fokus states that the sponsorship contract that the Company had signed with RocksAndStocksNews, a private company based in Mexico and headed by Allan Laboucan, expired on October the 17, 2023.

The contract with this online precious metals and mining stocks portal, worth $15,000, had been paid in full at the beginning of the period, and therefore no shares or options were given as additional compensation. The Company has also just entered into a one month sponsorship agreement with Gold Investment Letter, a Miami based private entity for cash consideration of $50,000. No shares or options will be issued as part of compensation.

Mr. Laverdière is geologist and qualified person under National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure of Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and a director of the Company.
