Corporate Update
2025 has been a transformative year for Fancamp as it advanced its strategic refocus and growth
initiatives with the announcement of spin -out of its core exploration assets into a new
entity, Goldera Exploration Ltd. The Corporation’s transition and spin-out plans are designed to
surface hidden value and give investors two clear investment theses: a focused exploration
vehicle with discovery -driven upside, and a n investment and royalty -oriented company with
diversified exposure, potential cash flow with focus on building scale. The Corporation signed an
option to acquire up to 80% of the Egan gold property in Ontario’s prolific Abitibi belt, a large, under-
explored and previously overlooked syenite gold system offering both high-grade and bulk-tonnage
potential, in the same region as Kirkland Lake. Fancamp also appointed Jasper Bertisen to its
Board amid a planned corporate reorganization to separate financial assets from exploration
ventures. The Corporation launched a Normal – Course Issuer Bid to repurchase up to 5% of its
shares, reflecting the confidence in its value and future prospects. Fancamp’s stock increased
100% during 2025 which is a reflection of the market’s support for the Corporation’s progress and
its plans for the future.
