Fokus Mining Corp V.FKM

Alternate Symbol(s):  FKMCF

Fokus Mining Corporation is a Canada-based mineral resource company. The Company is in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing mining properties and it holds interests in properties at the exploration stage located in Canada. The Company’s Galloway Gold Project is located along the Cadillac-Larder Lake Fault. The Galloway project consists of three mining concessions and 95 claims covering a total area of 2,668 hectares. Galloway property is less than 30 kilometers (km) west of the Rouyn Noranda mining district and is accessible via Trans-Canada Highway 117. The Galloway property is the result of the amalgamation of the Hurd, Ogima Nord, Renault Bay, Sandborn, Perron, Cadillac, Francoeur and Lac Fortune claims blocks. Together, they cover a 3 km wide corridor of gold bearing structures over a total length of 10 km along the Larder-Lake-Cadillac Break (LLCB).

DRILL NEXT - or - PEA NEXT ?

DRILL NEXT - or - PEA NEXT ?Which is better ?
Drill more with current ( galloway misunderstood )
= no-one will know what the galloway has for potential.

PEA - would allow a polishing of the project and introduce
           to retail what the galloway has to - offer. 
           this creates competition to - larger player - wink.

IF.... Fokus has asked ( Technominex of Rouyn-Noranda )
to review the 47,000 m ( historicals ) for ( other minerals )
besides hte retake on gold grades... and a thorough analysis 
was performed - not sure -  ( oct 28 2020 - press ) 

Then...
i myself would ask for only ( 2 ) secondary mineral credit
reviews -

- iron - based on other reports - vantex - there's 4.5% Fe average
- aluminum - same - vantex - report - 6.9% Al average.

If ever proved - homoganous throughout depoist with these two
secondary mineral credits then....

One would be able to ( SIMPLIFY ) mining and turn this galloway
into a - LOW COST PRODUCER -

NOTE - copper + silver credits
come nowhere near the values of - iron and aluminum.
aluminum + iron are the two greatest strengths.
as for - molybdenum - junior would need ot provide more
information - moly is a mystery minerals - no one really
knows what galloway holds in moly.

- IRON  is easy to pull from gold ores. ( given )
- ALUMINUM - as a BAUXITE (  60% + 12% Si ) allottment

- IRON = $119 / t  usd
- BAUXITE 60% = $110 / t  usd

Fokus has pegged the cost per tonne @ - $35/.tonne

If Fokus ran with
- 1,788,100 oz  @ 0.97 grams per tonne
obviously it would attract more attention than, 1.4 million oz

LOWER GRADES WERE ADDED ?
grades under 0.97 
More gold but.... more tonnage mined
more costs to mine.
finding the middle road seems to be, 0.97 / g / t
1.788,100 oz

Even though - VANSTAR - used 0.85%  gram grade
their  recovery rates with most likely nock it down to
0.75 % grade.

If Fokus ran with - 0.97 grams - less % 90% recovery
= 0.80 ( gram ) full recovery

Fokus is now richer  - grade - positioned better than
Vanstar - competitor.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.
31.1 grams in 1 oz of gold
~ 0.80 grams
= 39 tonnes ( 1 oz )

$35 per tonne mine cost
x 39  tonnes
= $1365 usd

$1700 spot gold ( i usd ( ( less than innoxplo - better buffer  ) 
- $1365 cost
= $335 profit / oz
x 1.788.100 oz
= $599,013,500 usd ( million )
~ 140,000,000 shares out
= $4.27 / sh

That's based on gold out of the ground.
If mind b Fokus.

If another bought Galloway ?
$200 oz wholesale
1.788,100
x $357,620,000 usd 
~ 140,000,000 shares out
= $2.55 / share

Not investment advice -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Supposing ( aluminum + iron ) grades were consistent
these grades would need to be verified by - Technominex + lab

Let's assume the are....
and to shorten this post i'll just sho the numvers i've crunched

ALUMINUM - 6.9%
151.8 lbs - per tonne
x 39 tonnes ( also makes 1 oz gold @ 0.80 grams )
5,920 lbs aluminum
~ 1,320 ( eq to 60% vauxite grade 12% silica )
= 4.48 tonnes of ( aluminum 60% con )
x $110 usd
= $492 usd ( bonus )

IRON - 4.5 %
99 lbs - per tonne
x 39 tonnes ( also makes 1 oz gold @ 0.80 grams )
= 3,861 lbs
~ 1320 ( 60% iron con )
= 2.92 tonnes ( iron @ 60% con )
x $119 / t  usd
= $248.08 usd

COMBINED ( alum + iron ) credits
= $740.08 usd   ( secondary credits )
,

Let's now pull forward -
$35 cost to mine 39 tonnes ( 1 oz gold )
= $1365
- $740.08
= $624.49 usd - all in cost to mine per tonne 


Operations are now - stremlined - 
quick iron cedit
quick bauxite credit
no real slow down in mining

Now a low cost producer
$624 / tonne

who could match it - nowadays ?
hello.

All based on....
hypothetical iron + aluminum grades.
extracted from - vantex - report .
only 4 - 5  hole assessment.

And that is why....it's important to ensure Technominex
performed such - assessments.
maybe they only sought - copper, silver... ugh.

There's my case for....
PEA -  would be a far better route than, more drilling.
would elevate stock price - less dilution for drilling .
this should be worked on now...
before a mid june drill program.

PEA - could take less than 3 months.
Having it 90% complete.
Then... last min incorporate - next round of drilling .
Done by, Sept.
All new drills into maiden PEA.

And... run with the - 0.97 gram ( 1,788,000 oz )
less 10% recovery
= 0.80 gram per tonne

------------------------------------------------------------------------

DRZACON -
Yes... i know drill hole -  KOD - 86 01 - is on Hendrick's
My research has found - this same hole was poistioned
origianlly on - Perron -
Vantex stated - this sril lhole was - 500m  S/W from Hendricks

I have reposition the 2 ( yellow dots ) as close as to the
Gov't Quebec website - drill data logs.

What i think... or assume has happened is... 
Vantex partitioned and sold pieces of the Galloway.
Vibable gold got some...
And.. .the two lower perron claims are - mia.
As for the single perron claim with 2 drill holes ?
They are on - Hendricks.
I would say... Hendricks absorbed the single 1 perron
claim of 3 - and simply incorporated this  land mass
into Hendricks.

I have drawn a line to division what i added - to image.
- 2 perron holes
- 1 mystery hole - not on galloway claims
   mystery hole is still realavant - intel what's below grade.

- do take notice of.... KOD 86 01 -  data i've added
   same hole is also printed above in - Fokus" - image.

- i chose to repeat this hole - labelling it perron -
  even though it's now on, Hendricks... 
  all because Fokus" data shows - 395.78 m
  vs - 401 m. 

- pending is now better understood with the - line division.
  line is - fokus" - stating GA  21 30 was in pending mode.

So yeah....
i prefer the ( 1.788,000 oz ) figures.

i crunched several angles seeing which scenerio was best.
mixing two lower grades with - 1.07 grams
mixing one lower grade with - 1.07 grams
same above with - 0.97 grams
or... drop current down to - 0.80 ( i don't know what tonnage )

no melt
just crush, mill, sift - float and out the door .
flintstone style.
wink.



So yeah....
i prefer the ( 1.788,000 oz ) figures.
i would've loved ot squeeze in more gold...
but the lower grade increases the tonnage costs exponentially.
hence - 0.97 seems to be the sweet spot ,

i crunched several angles seeing which scenerio was best.
mixing two lower grades with - 1.07 grams
mixing one lower grade with - 1.07 grams
same above with - 0.97 grams
or... drop current down to - 0.80 ( i don't know what tonnage )
seems to be the best metrics. ... mindfull of tonnage + consts
 
FINAL SUM -
0.97 grams + 2 simple ( oxide credits ) 

no melt
just crush, mill, sift - float and out the door .
flintstone style.
wink.


Cheers....

p.s here's a website showing the Canadian aluminum
operations - Rio Tinto - i would mold Galloway in this direction - 
they have several quebec aluminum plant


- Rio Tinto Aluminum plant locations
- Fokus has rail right on it's property
- Rio is placed - approx - 375 miles away ( Monreal )

Aluminum 60 % Con +  12% Si
$70/ usd ( 2019 )

if on opens link belwo we can see aluminum prices were
almost 1/2 cheaper -  than what is now...
Thosefigure in link chart - are metal figures.

So... i tacked on a few more buch to $110 
- also considering China has a VAT  tax upto 15%
- also as most know... shipping costs are thorugh the roof
   mega bucks to form overseas....
- hence.... $110, i figure as a reasonalbe 60% con price.

- the ( anomaly ) here is -  Canada imports most al lit\s aluminum.
   i figure if one has a good 6.9% grade and is already crushing the
   ore to pull the gold - why not... pull the iron and aluminum ?
