The Arrangement was approved by way of a special resolution of the shareholders of Fancamp
(“Fancamp Shareholders”) at the annual general and special meeting of Fancamp Shareholders
held on July 24, 2026, and by a final order granted by the Supreme Court of British Columbia on July

advancement of its exploration portfolio comprised of the Exploration Assets.
“I would like to thank our shareholders for their overwhelming support of the spin -out
transaction and Fancamp’s transition to an investment issuer. This transaction marks a
significant milestone in our strategy to unlock shareholder value by creating two focused public
companies: ERDA, a capital -light resource investment and royalty platform, and Goldera, a
dedicated exploration company with a portfolio of prospective Canadian mineral assets. We
believe this structure enhances strategic focus, improves mar ket visibility and creates a
stronger platform for long-term growth.
Effective August 5, 2026, Fancamp will continue its evolution under the name ERDA Resource
Opportunities Inc. and begin trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol ‘ERDA’.
The ERDA name reflects our strategic focus as a resource investment and roy alty company,
while our commitment to disciplined capital allocation, value creation and long -term
shareholder returns remains unchanged.”
– Rajesh Sharma, President, CEO & Director, Fancamp Exploration Ltd.
Pursuant to the Arrangement, Fancamp Shareholders exchanged each of their common shares of
Fancamp for one new common share of Fancamp (a “ Fancamp Share”) and 1/7th of a common
share of Goldera (a “Goldera Share”), for a total of 34, 749,514 Goldera Shares being issued to
Fancamp Shareholders under the Arrangement. On completion of the Arrangement and the
conversion of the Subscription Receipts (as defined below), Fancamp held approximately 17. 7% of
the issued and outstanding Goldera Shares, with Fancamp Shareholders maintaining their interest
in Fancamp and obtaining a proportionate interest in Goldera.
One-half of all of the Goldera Shares issued to the Fancamp Shareholders under the Arrangement
(the “ Restricted Goldera Shares ”) are subject to contractual restrictions on resale or transfer
pursuant to the terms of the arrangement agreement entered into between Fancamp and Goldera
dated May 28, 2026, to be released from such restrictions in accordance with the following schedule:

The Goldera Financing
In connection with the Arrangement, Goldera has completed the previously announced non-brokered
private placement of subscription receipts of Goldera (the “ Concurrent Financing ”) for total
aggregate gross proceeds of $5,499,371. Under the Concurrent Financing, Goldera issued a total
of: (i) 14,395,000 subscription receipts of Goldera (the “Non-FT Subscription Receipts”) at a price
of $0.2 0 per Non -FT Subscription Receipt; (ii) 5,740,744 flow-through subscription receipts of
Goldera (the “FT Subscription Receipts”) at a price of $0.23 per FT Subscription Receipt; and (iii)
5,000,000 charity flow -through subscription receipts of Goldera (the “ Charity FT Subscription
Receipts”, and together with the Non -FT Subscription Receipts and the FT Subscription Receipts,
the “Subscription Receipts”) at a price of $0.26 per Charity FT Subscription Receipt.
The successful completion of the Concurrent Financing represents an important milestone for
Goldera as it enters the public markets. With approximately $5.5 million in gross proceeds, Goldera
is well positioned to advance exploration at its flagship Egan Gold mineral project in Ontario's Abitibi
Greenstone Belt and the Acadian Gold Corp. joint venture in New Brunswick’s emerging gold-copper
district. Goldera is encouraged by the strong support received from existing Fancamp Shareholders,
including Ashwath Mehra and Rick Rule, as well as participation from new investors who recognize
the potential of Goldera’s exploration portfolio.
The escrow release conditions in respect of the Subscription Receipts were satisfied on July 29,
2026, and the Subscription Receipt s automatically exchanged for : (i) in the case of the Non -FT
Subscription Receipts, 14,395,000 Goldera Shares and 14,395,000 common share purchase
warrant of Goldera (each, a “Warrant”); (ii) in the case of the FT Subscription Receipts, 5,740,744
Goldera Shares that will qualify as “flow-through shares” within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of
the Income Tax Act (Canada)(the “Tax Act”) (each, a “FT Share”) and 5,740,744 Warrants that will
qualify as “flow-through shares” within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Tax Act (each, a “FT
Warrant”); and (iii) in the case of the Charity FT Subscription Receipts, 5,000,000 FT Shares and
5,000,000 FT Warrants that will qualify as “flow -through shares” within the meaning of subsection
66(15) of the Tax Act.
An amount equal to the gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Subscription Receipts and the Charity
FT Subscription Receipts will be used by Goldera to incur (or be deemed to incur) eligible “Canadian
exploration expenses” that qualify as “flow-through mining expenditures,” as such terms are defined
in the Tax Act (the “ Qualifying Expenditures”) on or before December 31, 2027. All Qualifying
Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the applicable subscribers effective December 31, 2026.
Each Warrant and FT Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one (1) non-flow-through
Goldera Share at an exercise price of $0.30 for a period of three (3) years from the date of issuance
thereof. The Warrants are subject to an accelerated expiry upon thirty (30) business days’ notice
from Goldera in the event the closing price of the Goldera Shares on the TSX-V is equal to or above
a price of $0.50 per Goldera Share for fourteen (14) consecutive trading days any time after closing
of the listing of the Goldera Shares on the TSX-V (the “Accelerated Expiry Provision”).
Goldera will use the net proceeds from the Concurrent Financing to fund exploration of the
Exploration Assets and for general corporate and working capital purposes.
56890-13\#5855722v6
In connection with the Concurrent Financing, Goldera: (i) paid finders’ fees in cash to certain finders
(each, a “ Finder”) equal to $117,562; and (ii) issued to the Finders a total of 554,314 non -
transferable finder’s warrants (“ Finder’s Warrants”) in connection with the Subscription Receipts
placed by the Finder. Each Finder’s Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one (1) Goldera
Share at an exercise price of $0.30 per Goldera Share for a term of three (3) years from the date of
issuance thereof (subject to the Accelerated Expiry Provision).
Investment Issuer Listing: Fancamp becomes ERDA Resource Opportunities Inc.
Concurrently with the Arrangement, Fancamp concluded its previously announced “ change of
business” from a TSX-V Tier 2 Mining Issuer to a TSX-V Tier 2 Investment Issuer pursuant to TSX-
V Policy 5.2 – Changes of Business and Reverse Takeovers (the “Change of Business ”). The
Change of Business is intended to allow Fancamp to focus on its existing investments in the natural
resources sector, with the mandate of growth, monetization, and expansion of its portfolio, with a
focus on scale through strategic acquisitions while maintaining a capital light business model. To
better reflect the new focus and activities of Fancamp, Fancamp has changed its name to “ERDA
Resource Opportunities Inc.” (“ERDA”). The ERDA Shares will commence trading on the TSX -V
as of market open on August 5, 2026, under the symbol “ERDA”. The CUSIP for the ERDA Shares
is “268848108”.
The Arrangement, combined with the Change of Business, was undertaken to unlock value, enhance
focus and market recognition as well as provide Fancamp Shareholders with ownership across two
distinct growth platforms. The completion of the Arrangement and the Change of Business resulted
in the creation of two separate, focused and well -capitalized entities, ERDA, with a proven track
record of identifying overlooked and undervalued investment opportunities in the mineral resource
sector, and Goldera, an exploration focused company with strategic interests in high potential
mineral projects.
Readers are encouraged to refer to Fancamp’s management information circular dated June 11,
2026, which can be found under Fancamp’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca for further
details on the Change of Business.
