Focus Graphite Releases Infill and Deposit Margin Drilling Results at Lac Knife Deposit : 42.8 m grading 20.43% Cgr in Hole LK-12-128

 Focus Graphite Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FMS)(OTCQX:FCSMF)(FRANKFURT:FKC) ("Focus" or the "Company") is pleased to report the results of the summer 2012 infill and deposit margin drilling program on the Company's 100%-owned Lac Knife graphite Property (the "Property"), located in the Grenville Geological Province of northeastern Québec. Fifty-six (56) large diameter (PQ-sized) core holes (total: 5,638 m) were drilled with the aim to upgrade the current Inferred mineral resources in the southeastern part of the Lac Knife deposit to the Indicated category; to map the limits of the deposit; and to provide sufficient mineralised feed material for phase II lock cycle metallurgical testing and for the pilot plant testing program currently scheduled to commence this month.

Graniz Graphite Discovery: 5% Over 209 Feet and 7.2% Over 163 Feet

- A Discovery 28 Miles from World Class Producer IMERYS TIMCAL - Changes on the Board of Directors

Graniz Mondal Inc. (TSX VENTURE:GRA.H) (the "Company" or "Graniz Graphite") is pleased to announce wide intercepts of graphite mineralization at the Brunet graphite deposit located 28 miles from North America''s only graphite producer IMERYS TIMCAL near Mont-Laurier. Dr Berthe Lambert, Chairman, comments: "The initial drilling results will add significant new tonnage to the Brunet large flake graphite deposit. The most interesting development is the discovery of a new graphite zone at the 100 metre level that was not identified in historical data. The drilling program should allow us to confirm that we are in front of a large flake graphite body similar to IMERYS TIMCAL''s deposit 28 miles west of our mine. Also, there is a breakthrough, graphene can be produced from large flake graphite".

Flatreef Discovery Expands to 29.2 Million Ounces of Platinum, Palladium, Rhodium and Gold in Indicated Mineral Resources

Additional 44.0 Million Ounces in Inferred Mineral Resources, at a 2.0 g/t 4PE Cutoff Flatreef averages 24 metres in true thickness and is potentially amenable to large-scale, mechanized underground mining Indicated and Inferred Resources also include substantial nickel and copper credits Flatreef mineralization remains open for expansion, with approximately 37.5 square kilometres of property untested

Robert Friedland, Executive Chairman of Ivanplats (TSX:IVP), announced today that an intensive drilling program during 2011 and 2012 at the company's Flatreef Discovery in the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Complex in South Africa has dramatically expanded and upgraded the Flatreef precious- and base-metal mineral resources.
