OLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 26, 2010) - Fancamp
Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FNC): Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (the
"Company") wishes to announce that drilling is scheduled to restart on the
McFaulds property on about June 8, 2010, with deep holes on the C-1 and C-6
targets as first priority. The Company is also looking at chromite targets,
as Noront's Blackbird deposits strike northeastward into Fancamp's ground.
A 2500 metre reconnaissance drilling programme on the Company's gold and
base metals targets in the Stoke Mountains and at Clinton in the Quebec
Appalachians will begin in the latter part of June. Trenching and channel
sampling are currently underway in the Stoke Mountain sector where
historical assays in drill holes reported, for example, 4.8 g/t Au over 1.9
m and 6.34% Cu over 5.1 m. (This historical information was prepared by
previous operators and is non 43-101 compliant. A qualified person has not
done sufficient work to review the quoted numbers and they should not be
relied upon.)
Increased activity on the iron properties of the Champion Minerals Inc.
("Champion"), option in the Fermont Iron Ore District of northeastern
Quebec, will see further benefits for the Company as the final Champion
option cash, share payments, and work expenditures to vest at 65% will take
place in the coming months. Champion previously announced a Mineral
Resource Estimate on the Bellechasse and Fire Lake North Claim Blocks under
NI 43-101 guidelines. The estimate totals 503.3 million tonnes grading
28.0% iron in the Inferred Mineral Resources category. Bellechasse hosts
215.1 million tones grading 28.7% iron, whereas Fire Lake North hosts 288.2
million tonnes grading 27.5% iron (all at a 15% iron cut-off grade).
Champion had previously announced 8 claim blocks with historical mineral
resources of 694 million tones grading 30.4% iron, but now after 2 of the 8
claim blocks (Bellechase and Fire Lake North) host a current MRE, there are
6 remaining claim blocks that host historical mineral resources of 578
million tones grading 30.4% iron. Refer to the Champion website for further
