SCOZINC RECEIVES COURT APPROVAL FOR ARRANGEMENT WITH FANCAMP

Halifax, Nova Scotia, April 20, 202 1 – ScoZinc Mining Ltd. ( TSX-V: SZM ) (“ ScoZinc” or the “ Company”) is

pleased to announce that the British Columbia Supreme Court has granted a final order approving the plan of

arrangement between ScoZinc and Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (“ Fancamp”) required to implement the business

combination (the "Transaction”).

ScoZinc's President and CEO, Mr. Mark Haywood, commented: “Last week , ScoZinc received overwhelming

securityholder support at its Extraordinary General Meeting for the business combination with Fancamp, and with

yesterday’s receipt of the final order from the BC Supreme Court, ScoZinc is now ready to close the transaction and has

communicated this to Fancamp."

Closing of the Transaction by Fancamp is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (“ TSXV”) which Fancamp

advises that it anticipates obtaining shortly but which has not yet been received. Fancamp has additionally advised that a

dissident shareholder of Fancamp, Mr. Peter H. Smith, has also made an application to the British Columbia Securities

Commission (“BCSC”) to stay or overturn any decision by the TSXV approving the Transaction , and to require that

Fancamp obtain shareholder approval for the Transaction. Fancamp has undertaken to the BCSC not to close the

Transaction until after April 28, 2021 pending hearing of the application.

ScoZinc anticipates that Fancamp will be successful in proceedings before the BCSC and expects the Transaction to

close shortly thereafter in accordance with the terms of the February 12, 2021 arrangement agreement between ScoZinc

and Fancamp. Accordingly, ScoZinc looks forward to closing the Transaction shortly after April 28, 2021.

ScoZinc has received conditional approval from the TSXV for the Transaction, but remains subject to the final approval

of the TSXV.

ScoZinc will issue a further news release when a new closing date for the Transaction has been scheduled.

looking statements may be identified by such terms as “believes”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “estimates”, “may”, “could”,

conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Although these statements are based on

information currently available to the Company, the Company provides no assurance that actual results will meet

actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Important factors that

could cause actual results to differ materially from ScoZinc’s expectations include, among others, the degree to which

mineral resource and reserve estimates are reflective of actual mineral resources and reserves, the degree to which factors

which would make a mineral deposit commercially viable are present, the price of zinc and lead, uncertainties relating to

availability and costs of financing needed in the future, changes in equity markets, risks related to international operations,

the actual results of current exploration activities, delays in the development of projects, conclusions of economic

evaluations and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined as well as future prices of metals, ability to

predict or counteract potential impact of COVID-19 coronavirus on factors relevant to the Company’s business, as well as

those factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in ScoZinc’s management’s discussion and analysis of the

Company's financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2020. Although ScoZinc has attempted to identify
