Fancamp maintains grassroots exploration and research
activities
Following the July 28th announcement by Fancamp Exploration Ltd. ("Fancamp") (TSX VENTURE: FNC) regarding
the $3.9 million in funding from Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC), to its subsidiary, The
Magpie Mines Inc. (Magpie), a series of planning and budgeting meetings for the development and operation
of the demonstration plant are scheduled during the month of August with consortium members SDTC, Impact
Global Solutions (IGS) and COREM. Management expects to be able to report the details o f these meetings ,
including project budget and schedule, in the fall.
Fancamp will continue to explore its exploration properties, all of which have demonstrated a healthy mix of
commodities, in three eastern Canadian provincial jurisdictions; Quebec, New Brunswick and Ontario.
Quartzite/silica exploration projects represent the current focus of activities, but gold, base metals and iron ore
projects remain in the queue for future exploration.
Lac Portage (news release of May 16 th), Lac Rigo, Amqui, Ste -Marguerite and Risborough, are all Appalachian
quartzite/silica projects under current evaluation and consideration by potential end users. Results of these
projects are forthcoming but preliminary data shows that each represent deposits suitable for indu strial
utilization.
The Moise Zinc project in the Rimouski area of Quebec and the Upper Northeast Lake and Becaguimec Lake base
metal projects northeast of Woodstock, New Brunswick, are also currently being evaluated. Grab samples
recently collected from an historical, overgrown trench on the Moise Zinc project contained up to 1.5% Zn in
Cambro-Ordovician brecciated and carbonatized calcareous metasedimentary rocks. Based on historic trenching
and soil sample results up to 1140 ppm Zn, the zone has a strike length in excess of 1.6 km. The Upper Northeast
Lake property was prospected, surveyed with a VLF geophysical instrument and soil sampled last season and a
significant, previously unexplored buried geophysical anomaly was defined over a distance of 600 metres. The
anomaly occurs in Lower Devonian volcanic rocks and intercalated sedimentary rocks similar to rocks of the
Gravel Hill deposit about 10 km to the south. The Gravel Hill deposit occurs associated with a felsic dome and
hosts sulphide concentrati ons up to 8.3% Zn, 1.66%Pb and 0.36% Cu. Further soil sampling and trenching is
planned for this season. Similarly, The Becaguimec Lake property was also prospected, surveyed with a VLF
geophysical instrument and soil sampled last season. This work defined a coincident geophysical and soil anomaly
which appears to occur at the margins of a buried gabbroic intrusion. A rock exposure in a stream valley along
strike from the buried anomaly gave several high values in copper, up to 2.2%Cu. Trenching work is proposed for
this season.
