Focus Ventures Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FCV) is pleased to advise that it has closed
its previously announced non-brokered private placement by issuing 12.5 million
units at $0.12 per unit, for gross proceeds of $1.5 million. Each unit consists
of one common share and one warrant, each warrant entitling the holder to
purchase one additional common share of the Company at $0.20 for two years from
closing. If the closing price of the Company's shares exceeds $0.25 for a period
of 10 consecutive trading days, the Company may accelerate the expiry of the
warrants by giving notice in writing to the holders, and in such case, the
warrants will expire on the 30th day after the date on which such notice is
given. The Company also issued 170,800 units and 316,633 warrants as finders'
fees in connection with the financing. The finders' fee warrants are exercisable
at $0.16 for two years from closing. All of the shares and warrants have a
resale restriction until March 29, 2014.


The proceeds of the financing will be used for exploration of the Company's
phosphate projects in Peru and Colombia, and for general working capital
purposes.
