Last Chance to Accept Focus’ Offer

Focus Minerals Limited (ASX: FML, FFT: FZA) has extended its takeover Offer for Crescent Gold Limited (ASX: CRE, TSX: CRA, FFT: CZ8) by one week, to end at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on

Wednesday, 5 October 2011.

The Offer period will not be extended any further and it will end on Wednesday, 5 October 2011.

Further to previous announcements, Focus now holds a relevant interest in 79.89% of all Crescent shares. This may increase to 85.22%1 through conversion of loans owed by Crescent to Focus.

What You Need to Know:

Focus may elect to increase its existing 79.89% interest in Crescent by the conversion of debt owed by Crescent to Focus. Assuming full draw down of these loans, a 5 cents per share conversion price and full exercise of all associated options, Focus would increase its interest in Crescent to 85.22%.

As Focus has the majority holding in Crescent, it intends to seek to change the Crescent Board in the near future.

Focus intends to seek to de-list Crescent from the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). If Crescent is delisted, you will not be able to sell your shares on ASX or TSX (which will, for all practical purposes, prevent trade on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FFT)).

Focus will not increase the Offer price (one Focus share for every 1.18 Crescent shares). There is no Court process available to the remaining shareholders at the end of an Australian company takeover to seek a premium to the takeover price for their shares.

Now that Focus has reached 79.89% ownership in Crescent, Focus considers it extremely unlikely that any other offer will eventuate

The Offer period has been extended for the last time and it will end at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 5 October 2011 (the formal notice of this extension is enclosed).
