Exploration Program Update

Exploration consultants appointed for upcoming programs at Iva, Ellie, Bay Road and Oba

Focus Xplore PLC (AIM: FOX), the strategic energy and critical minerals exploration and development company, is pleased to provide an update regarding upcoming exploration programs this Spring in Ontario, Canada.

Fladgate Exploration Consulting Corporation ("Fladgate") has been appointed to complete the initial phase of exploration activities, including mapping and sampling, at the Company's Iva, Ellie and Oba lithium projects and at its Bay Road rare earth element project.

Exploration will commence as soon as access allows but is scheduled to begin by mid-May latest. Planning for the remaining projects in the Company's portfolio across Northwest Ontario is ongoing, with proposals currently under review.

Patrick Cullen, Chief Executive Officer of Focus Xplore, commented:

"Focus Xplore are looking forward to a busy first phase of exploration this Spring and throughout the year and we are pleased to have appointed the team at Fladgate. They are based in Thunder Bay, just 170 kilometres east of the Iva Lithium Project, which is likely to be among the first projects we gain access to as the snow melts. We look forward to getting started as soon as possible."
