Focus Graphite Inc. ("Focus", "the Company" or "the Corporation") (TSX
VENTURE:FMS)(OTCQX:FCSMF)(FRANKFURT:FKC) is pleased to announce that at the
annual and special meeting of shareholders held on May 10, 2013, shareholders of
the Corporation voted to approve an advance notice by-law (the "Advance Notice
By-Law"). The Advance Notice By-Law includes a provision that requires advance
notice to the Corporation in circumstances where nominations of persons for
election to the Board are made by shareholders of the Corporation other than
pursuant to (i) a requisition to call a shareholders meeting made pursuant to
the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "CBCA"), or (ii) a
shareholder proposal made pursuant to the provisions of the CBCA.


Among other things, the Advance Notice By-Law fixes a deadline by which holders
of record of common shares of the Corporation must submit director nominations
to the Corporation prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders and
sets forth the minimum information that a shareholder must include in the notice
to the Corporation for the notice to be in proper written form.


In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, notice to the Corporation must
be made not less than 30 nor more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual
meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is to be
held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first
public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice may be
made not later than the close of business on the 10th day following such public
announcement.


In the case of a special meeting of shareholders (which is not also an annual
meeting), notice to the Corporation must be made not later than the close of
business on the 15th day following the day on which the first public
announcement of the date of the special meeting was made.


The Advance Notice By-Law provides a clear process for shareholders to follow to
nominate directors and sets out a reasonable time frame for nominee submissions
along with a requirement for accompanying information. The purpose of the
Advance Notice By-Law is to treat all shareholders fairly by ensuring that all
shareholders, including those participating in a meeting by proxy rather than in
person, receive adequate notice of the nominations to be considered at a meeting
and can thereby exercise their voting rights in an informed manner. In addition,
the Advance Notice By-Law should assist in facilitating an orderly and efficient
meeting process.

Focus has entered into an agreement for the acquisition of a 100% interest in a
group of 32 contiguous mining claims located in the James Bay Territory area of
Northern Quebec and known as the Eastmain-Leran property (the "Property").


The Property covering an area of 1,679 ha, is located 25 km north-east of the
Otish Mountains, directly north of the Eastmain River in James Bay Territory
(NTS map sheet 23D12). The Property is 10 km east of the Otish Mountains access
road (HWY 167) which link Chibougamau and Mistissini to Stornoway Diamond
Corp.'s Renard diamond project.


The Property is part of a volcano-sedimentary greenstone belt traceable over a
distance of 60 km and having a width of about 6 to 10 km. The mafic, ultramafic
and felsic volcanic rocks are intercalated with arkose, greywacke and quartzite.
The Property hosts the Alta-Eastmain copper showing and has the potential to
host volcanogenic polymetallic and precious metal mineralization.


In consideration for the purchase of the 100% interest in the Property, the
Company paid the vendor a total of CDN $50,000 cash and, subject to TSX Venture
Exchange approval, will issue the vendor 689,655 common shares in the capital of
the Company and granted a 2% net smelter return royalty on the Property (the
"Royalty"). The Company shall have the right, at any time and at its sole
discretion, to purchase the Royalty (2%) by paying $500,000. The common shares
to be issued by the Company in connection with this acquisition will be subject
to a four month hold period from their date of issuance. The transaction remains
subject to regulatory approval.


The technical information presented in this press release has been reviewed and
approved by Benoit Lafrance, Ph.D., Geo (Quebec), Focus Vice-President of
Exploration and a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 Standards of
Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101").
