VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 19, 2008) - Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FNC): The Company wishes to announce completion of the current drill programme on its McFauld's Lake property.
Holes F-08-11 and F-08-12 were drilled to test the high mag feature located on the NE sector of the C-5 target. Both were drilled from the same setup, Hole 11 at 50 degrees NW and Hole 12 at 70 degrees NW, to 150 metres and 165 metres depth respectively. Both holes intersected a 25 metre wide zone of banded chert magnetite iron formation, lying on top of what is interpreted to be the pre McFauld's granite basement, dipping at some 60 degrees to the SE. Minor sulphide replacement of the magnetite was noted and assay results of this material indicate geochemically anomalous copper and gold values. Volcanics and volcanogenic sediments overlie the iron formations in the drill holes, and a large gravity high just SE of C-5 suggests the presence of chromite rich zones higher in this stratigraphic section.
An immediate focus for Fancamp in the new year is the NE sector of the C-1 target along its eastern granite contact from the Noront boundary for some 300 metres to the SE. JVX-MLEM (moving loop EM) has indicated a zone of very low resistivity along this part of the contact at a vertical depth of 400-500 metres. The occurrence of high grade nickel bearing sulphides in Holes 2 and 10 adjacent to this contact attests to its prospectivity.
