Focus Ventures Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FCV) ("Focus") and Stonegate Agricom Ltd.
(TSX:ST) ("Stonegate") announce that they have agreed to extend the due
diligence period for a previously announced acquisition by an additional 42 days
in order to permit Focus to have additional time to complete its studies. 


Focus and Stonegate announced on May 21, 2013 that they had signed a Letter of
Intent pursuant to which Focus has the right to acquire from Stonegate, subject
to successful due diligence over a period of 90 days, a 70% interest in the
Mantaro phosphate deposit, located 250 km east of Lima in the District of Junin,
central Peru. Details of the transaction are available in a joint news release
issued on May 21, 2013.


About Focus Ventures

Focus, through its subsidiary Agrifos, is acquiring and developing quality
phosphate projects in Latin America where the discovery and development of new
deposits is becoming increasingly important given the expanding agricultural
industry and limited local supply of phosphate for fertilizer production.

About Stonegate Agricom

Stonegate Agricom, which is actively engaged in acquiring and developing
agricultural nutrient projects, is currently focused on the development of the
potentially world-class, long-life Paris Hills Phosphate Project located in

to become a strategic, cost-effective source of phosphate supply for major
fertilizer producers. More information is available at www.stonegateagricom.com.
