1 DISCOVERY IN MEXICO & PERU CORPORATE PRESENTATION FEBRUARY 2013 David Cass, President

2 Forward Looking Statements CAUTIONARY NOTES AND DISCLAIMERS This presentation may contain forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, comments regarding the timing and content of upcoming work programs, geological interpretations, receipt of property titles, potential mineral recovery processes, and other related matters. Forward-looking statements address future events and conditions and therefore involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Focus Ventures Ltd s projects in Peru and Mexico are at an early stage and all estimates and projections are based on limited and possibly incomplete data. More work is required before the mineralization and the projects economic aspects can be confidently modeled. Actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated in this presentation. No representation or prediction is intended as to the results of future work, nor can there be any promise that the estimates and projections herein will be sustained in future work or that the project will otherwise prove to be economic. Some assay results shown in this presentation are historical in nature and the Company has not completed verification of the accuracy of these results and therefore they cannot be relied upon. Historical Results: A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Focus is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. More work needs to be done to verify results. Under the terms of NI , David Cass, B.Sc., M.Sc., P.Geo., is Focus' Qualified Person responsible for ensuring that the technical information given in this presentation is an accurate summary of the results reported by Focus. 2
