Minfocus Exploration Commences Nipigon Reefs Drilling Program

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired - Nov. 25, 2013) - Minfocus Exploration Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MFX) ("Minfocus") is pleased to announce that it is mobilizing a truck-mounted auger drill to the Seagull North prospect within its Nipigon Reefs Project, near Thunder Bay, Ontario. The drill program is to test for downdip extensions in weathered bedrock of surface Platinum Group Element ("PGE") mineralization which was identified in historic trenches. The program is planned to be about 15 auger drill holes to a depth of 5-10 metres to assess the dip and orientation of near surface PGE zones.

Nipigon Reefs Project Minfocus has completed seven diamond drill holes totaling more than 2,000 metres on the Nipigon Reefs property, of which four holes intersected the expected ultramafic mineralized layers. The program has identified PGE intercepts in all four drill holes and confirms the existence of multiple significant PGE mineralized layers with drill core interval lengths up to 5.0 metres thick and with PGE grades up to 2.47 g/t 3E (3E=Pt+Pd+Au assays) . Minfocus has also sampled the historic trenches with assay results up to 1.92 g/t 3E. This trenched mineralization may be related to PGE intercepts in near surface core sampling and the auger drilling will attempt to determine if mineralization in the trenches can be followed downdip.

The Seagull North Prospect is a group of claims that were optioned in February 2011 from their joint owners, Black Panther Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:BPC) (40% interest), Rainy Mountain Royalty Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RMO) (30% interest) and Trillium North Mineral Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:TNM) (30% interest). Under the Option Agreement, Minfocus is to incur exploration expenditures on the Seagull North claims exceeding $250,000 in each year of the 4-year initial option term plus other payments to earn a 55% joint venture interest. Minfocus can increase its joint venture interest up to 70% by completing an additional $2.0 million in exploration expenditures within the initial 4-year option term.
