Fancamp Exploration Announces
Launch of Drill Program at Clinton Property
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – July 13, 2023 - Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (“ Fancamp” or the
“Corporation”) (TSX Venture Exchange: FNC) is pleased to announce the launch of a planned 2,750-metre
exploration drill program on its wholly-owned Clinton Project, a highly prospective property positioned in a
region which has a proven mining history and host to numerous copper mines, in a copper -zinc endowed
geological province with some of the biggest volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) systems in the world (refer
to Figure 1). Given recent exploration program success at both Clinton and Stoke projects during 2022, the
Corporation rides a strong momentum to make subsequent discoveries and further develop two Cu-
predominant projects during a time when the copper market is set to rise significantly. The Clinton copper
project located in Quebec’s Appalachian region, in Fancamp’s opinion, is one of the better risk/reward
exploration plays in the sector.
The recently initiated drill program at Clinton will target the potential extension of the massive sulphide “A” lens
situated in the northern part of the property where Fancamp’s 2022 drill program successfully validated the
extension of the “A” lens to a minimum of 100 metres along strike and at shallow depth, throug h a 6 -hole,
1,294-metre drill program which notably intersected 3.15 metres at 3.30% Cu and 12.64 g/t Ag (refer to press
releases dated June 14th, 2022, and August 17th, 2022).
The drill program will also target the southern extension of a favorable geological horizon which hosts the past
producing Clinton “O” mine and the known massive sulphide lenses containing historical non-compliant NI 43-
101 resources of 1.52 Mt at 2.02% Cu and 1.54% Zn (MRNFQ Fiche de Gite 21E07 -0007), an area where
known copper mineralization had been identified across past exploration work and recent drill programs
completed during Spring 2022 (refer to Figure 1).
Results of the IP survey conducted in the winter of 2023 ( refer to press release dated March 13 th, 2023)
indicated strong potential for the discovery of copper -zinc mineralization in new and under-explored areas of
the Clinton Project. The IP survey focused on the southern extension of the Clinton “O” lens and results
delineated high-priority anomalies along the targeted favorable horizon consistent with a response from
sulphide mineralization, surveyed down to a vertical depth of 300 metres and up to 5.5 kilometres south of the
current known massive sulphide lenses , an area of which Fancamp believes remain s significant discovery
potential.
Figure 1: Clinton Project Scope of IP Survey
The programs completed on the Clinton Pro ject to date have given the Corporation’s technical team a better
understanding of the project and highlighted the potential of expanding the footprint of known mineralization
beyond the previous limits . Fancamp is encouraged to continue to explore this project and build on the vast
data collected, given previous significant intersections of sulphide copper mineralization across various lenses
and extensions, including 3.0 metres at 0.72% Cu, 2.87 g/t Ag and 0.02 g/t Au (refer to press release dated
August 17th, 2022). Clinton remains a priority exploration property given that it hosts a series of Cu –Zn rich
VMS mineralization lenses extending over a 5 -kilometre north-east horizon and encompasses around 20
kilometres of favorable stratigraphy within the Clinton River volcano -sedimentary belt, where previous work
indicated most mineralized lenses at Clinton are open at depth and some lenses (such as lenses A and E)
remain open along strike.
Fancamp aims to advance promising projects such as Clinton in order to maximize shareholder value through
reliable compilation and interpretation of data collected across various geophysical surveys, and supported by
historical work, which in this case further validates that the Clinton Project hosts significant sulphide copper
mineralization potential.
About the Clinton Project
The Clinton Project is underlain by a folded and faulted bimodal volcanic sequence. It hosts a series of Cu–Zn
precious metals volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralization lenses extending over a 5-kilometre NE horizon.
The project is situated approximately 20 k ilometres southwest of the town of Megantic, north of the Maine
border. The Clinton Project covers approximately 20 kilometres of favorable stratigraphy of the Clinton River
volcano-sedimentary Belt.
The project area hosts a non -43-101 compliant historical resource, contained within five small sulfide lenses
A, C, E, F, and O totaling 1.52 Mt at 2.02% Cu and 1.54% Zn [MRNFQ Fiche de Gite 21E07-0007]. A qualified
person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resource. The
Corporation is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources.
