Fokus Mining Corporation announced the successful completion of its winter exploration program aimed at further testing the Moriss gold mineralized zone on the Galloway property in Abitibi, Quebec. This program followed up on the Company's November 2023 1,500-meter drill campaign where high-grade gold mineralization was intersected in gold-bearing structures that appear to intersect the Moriss Zone perpendicularly. Moriss is part of the 100% owned Galloway property in Abitib Quebec.

The Moriss Zone is spatially associated with an apophysis of the main syenitic intrusion in the western part of Galloway. The Moriss was originally identified as a geophysical target in 2009 and was discovered by drilling in October 2010. Most of the recent drilling has been shallow, but several of the deeper holes have intersected up to 5 discrete gold structures that merit further investigation.

These interesting results prompted the Company to continue its investigation with a winter drilling program. The winter program consisted of drilling 1,300 metres in six holes (GA-24-83 to GA-24-88) in an east-west direction to confirm the presence of a north-south trending mineralized system in the area, perpendicular to the main shear zone. Other noteworthy news: On November 1, 2020, the Company had entered into an investor relation agreement, for a period of twelve months, with MarketSmart Communications Inc., a Vancouver, British Columbia based provider of business communications services with over two decades of experience and specializing in venture capital and small cap investments.

At the time the agreement was signed, a monthly fee of $6,000 was payable and 200,000 common share options at a price of $0.36 were granted for a period of two years. The agreement has been renewed in November 2021 for twelve months and in November 2022 for another 12 months and was also renewed in November 2023 always at the same price for the period ending November 1, 2024. No new options were granted at the time of the three renewals.

Note that the stock options initially granted have expired. MarketSmart is owned by its founder and director, Maria Da Silva. The company and its owner are independent entities of Fokus.
