Focus Relinquishes Mantaro Option
VANCOUVER, CANADA--(Marketwired - Mar 17, 2014) - Focus Ventures
Ltd. (TSX-VENTURE:FCV) announces that it has terminated its option
with Stonegate Agricom Ltd. ("Stonegate") (TSX: ST, ST.WT.A) to
earn a 70% interest in the Mantaro phosphate deposit, located 250
km east of Lima in the District of Junin, central Peru. Details of
Focus' exclusive right and option were announced in a joint news
release dated October 25, 2013.
"We would like to thank Stonegate for giving us the opportunity
to look at their Mantaro project," stated David Cass, President of
Focus. "All of our recent exploration efforts have been directed at
the Bayovar 12 concession near the coast in northwest Peru, which
has rapidly become our highest priority project. With drilling
underway at Bayovar 12, we've reluctantly taken the decision to
relinquish the Mantaro option to allow our exploration team to
focus 100% of its time on Bayovar 12. We wish the Stonegate team
the best of luck in their efforts at Mantaro."
