Focus Files Updated PFS Technical Report
July 5, 2016; Vancouver, Canada: Focus Ventures Ltd. (TSXV:FCV) advises that it has filed on SEDAR a NI 43-101 compliant technical report on its Updated Pre-Feasibility Study (Updated PFS) for the Companys Bayovar 12 phosphate project located in Peru.
As announced on May 16, 2016, the Updated PFS replaces the earlier pre-feasibility study filed in February 2016, and contains the following key changes-in-scope which significantly improve the financial performance of the project:
§
one large processing plant instead of the staged commissioning of two smaller ones
§
owner-operated instead of contractor-operated overburden stripping
§
doubling of pre-production overburden stripping
§
a simplified mine plan and production schedule
§
larger and more efficient loading and hauling equipment
§
a more logical and staged buildout of the tailings storage facility
A summary of the Updated PFS is contained in Focuss May 16, 2016 news release, and the full Report is available for review on the Companys website and at www.sedar.com.

About Focus
Focus is developing the Bayovar 12 phosphate deposit located 40 km from the coast in the Sechura District of northern Peru. Bayovar 12 hosts a large resource of highly-reactive sedimentary phosphate rock - a key raw material input for fertilizers and vital to world food production. Reactive phosphate rock from Sechura is a natural, slow-release source of phosphorus that can be applied directly to crops. Focus aims to supply direct application phosphate rock to the nearby agricultural regions of South and Central America, the fastest growing fertilizer market in the world.
