St-Georges and Focus Metals Join Forces to Evaluate Tetepisca's Graphite Potential

St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (CNSX:SX)(OTCQX:SXOOF)(BSE:85G) is
pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Focus
Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FMS)(OTCQX:FCSMF)(FRANKFURT:FKC) with regard to the
graphite resource viability of two of St-Georges' Quebec properties. 


Under the terms of the three-month agreement, Focus Metals will research and
evaluate the potential of St-Georges' Tetepisca graphite property and assist
St-Georges geological staff in evaluating the potential of multiple graphite
occurrences found on the southeast extension of the company's Julie
nickel-copper project.  


Both properties are located on the Quebec North Shore. The non-binding
arrangement gives Focus Metals a 120-day right of first refusal for the
establishment of a joint-venture relationship with St-George for the future
development of those properties. 


Consequently, St-Georges geologists will acquire access to Focus Metals'
geological team and their expertise gleaned from early-stage development of
Focus Metals' Lac Knife, Quebec graphite deposit which, at 16%, remains the
highest grade graphite deposit in the world. 


"We are very pleased to have been invited to assist St-Georges in their initial
geological determinations at Tetepisca and Southeast Julie," said Focus
President and CEO Gary Economo. "Our accumulation of both geological and
business experience at Lac Knife provides a template for evaluating
pre-development." 


St-Georges President and CEO Frank Dumas said: "Focus Metals is recognized in
the mining development community as the 'go to' source for graphite. We're
pleased to have teamed with Focus not only for their graphite-related geological
experience, but their early-stage business development experience." 


"The market is primed for new entrants to the graphite market, especially in
Quebec. We expect we'll be in a better position to determine our course once the
evaluation is completed," Mr. Dumas said.
