Downhole Intersection of 503 Metres Grading 31% Total Iron at Fancamp's 17.5% Owned Moire Lake Project

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 6, 2011) - Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FNC) is pleased to report that Champion Minerals Inc. has provided the latest assay results from the Company's 17.5% owned Moire Lake project, which is strategically located immediately east of and contiguous to ArcelorMittal's Mont Wright mine property, and is eight kilometres south of existing rail transport infrastructure.

Drill hole LM11-12 intersected 503.4 metres grading 31.2 per cent total iron (FeT) on the southeast side of the historic Lac Moire occurrence. Drill hole, LM11-16, located approximately 400 m northeast and along strike of drill hole LM11-12, intersected 390.1 m grading 27.6 per cent FeT and included an interval of 237.1 m grading 31.5 per cent FeT. Drill hole LM11-09, located approximately 400 m northeast of LM11-16, intersected 383.4 m of iron formation grading 30.3 per cent FeT (see Champion's press release dated Sept. 15, 2011). These three drill holes delineate approximately one kilometre of iron formation along strike, with down-hole intersections of 383 m to 503 m (core length), and confirm the continuity of the iron-rich Sokoman formation around the thickened southeast fold closure.

Tom Larsen, Champion's president and chief executive officer, commented; "The latest results from our 2011 drill program at Moire Lake further confirm the high grade and continuity of the iron formations present on the property which is strategically located in the Labrador trough. The combined thickness and assay results from Moire Lake are significant and we expect the new resource estimate will identify a sizable increase in the historical resource."

For further details, please refer to Champion Minerals Inc. (CHM) news release dated October 6, 2011.

Champion is the operator and work is continuing to further advance the project. Fancamp intends to maintain its proportional interest in this and the other properties in the JV.

Fancamp Exploration Ltd.: Fermont Update-Fire Lake North Property
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 7, 2011) - Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FNC) is pleased to announce the start of Feasibility resource definition drilling at the Company's 17.5% owned Fire Lake North project in the Fermont Iron Ore District, Quebec.

Champion Minerals Inc. (the operator) recently released results of a National Instrument 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate for the Fire Lake North project which included Measured & Indicated Resources of 400.1 Million Tonnes grading 30.6% Total Iron ("FeT") and Inferred Resources of 661.2 Million Tonnes grading 27.7% FeT, at a 15% FeT cut-off. (Refer to CHM press release dated October 3, 2011.)

On November 3, 2010, Champion announced positive results from a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") of the Fire Lake North project that included a Net Present Value (NPV) of $1.295 Billion at an 8% discount rate and a 24.8% Internal Rate of Return (IRR) based on total mineral resources estimated at 388 Million Tonnes grading 29% FeT at the same 15% FeT cut-off.

The current mineral resources at the Fire Lake North project have increased to over 1 Billion Tonnes and there are plans to complete a Feasibility study for Fire Lake North in 2012.

In advance of receiving results from the revised PEA, Champion is mobilizing drill rigs from the Oil Can Project to the West Area of the Fire Lake North Project to commence resource definition drilling. This drill program is designed to up-grade the majority of the current resources to the Measured and Indicated Resources categories for the planned 2012 Feasibility study production schedule.

Following the completion of the five remaining holes planned for 2011 on the Oil Can project, the remaining drills will be mobilized to Fire Lake North. Champion expects to augment the Fire Lake North project with additional drills in early 2012 to accelerate completion of the feasibility drilling. A Mineral Resource Estimate and PEA study for the Oil Can project, located north and contiguous with the Fire Lake North property, will be initiated in early 2012.

For further details, please refer to Champion Minerals Inc. news release dated November 7, 2011.

Champion Minerals Releases Updated Preliminary Economic Assessment Study for Fire Lake North Project and Initiates Feasibility Study (ccnm)

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 21, 2011) - Champion Minerals Inc. ("Champion" or the "Company") (TSX:CHM)(FRANKFURT:P02) is pleased to announce the results of its updated Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") study on the Fire Lake North Project that was performed by BBA Inc. ("BBA"). Concentrator production would average 8.7 million tonnes of concentrate per year ("Mtpa") grading 65% iron for the first 25 of the 40 year mine life; however, the first five years of the financial model will average nearly 10 Mtpa of concentrate production.

The 2011 PEA study produced a Net Present Value of $4 billion at a discounted cash flow rate of 8% with an Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of 41.5% and a capital payback period of 2.3 years. The US$ exchange rate is assumed to be at par value with the Canadian dollar. Table 1 provides the Net Present Values calculated at various discounted cash flow rates for the Base Case production scenario.

The financial analysis in the PEA study used a price of $115 per tonne of iron concentrate ($/tonne is FOB Sept-Iles), the mine life in the study is 40 years and the capital payback period is 2.3 years.


Table 1: Fire Lake North – Preliminary Economic Assessment Results (Pre-Tax)
Internal Rate of Return (IRR) (8% Discount Rate) 41.5 %
Undiscounted Cash Flow 10.9 $ billion
Net Present Value @ 5% Discounted Cash Flow 5.6 $ billion
Net Present Value @ 8% Discounted Cash Flow 4.0 $ billion
Net Present Value @ 10% Discounted Cash Flow 3.2 $ billion
Payback Period (8% Discount Rate) 2.3 Years


The PEA was completed by Dr. André Allaire, Eng., M.Eng., Ph.D., and Mr. Stéphane Normandin Eng., from BBA, an international, multi-disciplinary, engineering firm with expertise in mining and metallurgy, based in Montreal, (Quebec). BBA's National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 Technical Report will be posted by Champion on SEDAR at www.sedar.com within 45 days of the date of this press release. The PEA study has an accuracy of +/-30%, which is considered industry standard for preliminary capital and operating cost estimates.

The PEA has been developed with a higher degree of detail than normally required, which will facilitate the transition directly into the Feasibility Study phase. In the Feasibility Study, both the Base Case option, as well as the option of adding a second production line, will be studied.

Excluding the contingency, the cost of rail and port infrastructure totals $325.6 million, as itemized in Table 2. The cost to develop the mine and concentrator complex totals $841.7 million, which equates to $97 per tonne of the 8.7 million tonnes of annualized production of iron concentrate, a typical rate for mines in the Fermont Iron Ore District.

Capital expenditures total $1,368 million for 100% of the Project with the cost of rail and port infrastructure included. This PEA study assumes the usage of the Sept-Iles multi user Port facility project that is planned for completion in Q1/Q2 2014.


Table 2: Capital Expenditures ($ millions)
Cost Centers $ millions
Pre-stripping of open pit areas 97.5
Concentrator and site infrastructure including loadout facilities 682.3
Railway (62km distance and 94km total including turnaround loop and sidings) 228.8
Port Facilities: Railcar unloading, stacker/reclaimer, conveyors 96.8
Environmental and Tailings Management 27.9
Other Pre Production Costs 34.0
Sub Total 1,167
Contingency 201
Grand Total (100% of the project) 1,368


As Champion holds an 82.5% interest in the Fire Lake North Project, it is responsible for this proportional share of the capital expenditures. Fancamp Exploration Ltd. is responsible for the remaining 17.5% of the capital expenditures.

Operating costs are outlined in Table 3.


Table 3: Operating Expenditures  ($/Tonne of Concentrate)
Cost Parameters Average

25 years  Average

years 1 to 5
Mining 22.56  12.13
Concentrator crushing and processing 4.52  3.97
Site Infrastructure, Sales, & General Administration 4.40  3.39
Environmental Tailings and Management 0.29  0.26
Rail Transport 15.52  16.14
Port facilities 3.72  3.57
Total 51.01  39.46
Equipment Lease Cost (not included in above total) 1.67  5.17


The production scenario maintains a strip ratio of 2:1 for the first three years of operation during the payback period, whereas the 25 year mine life is 3.7:1.

In this Project Base Case production scenario, the size of the autogenous grinding mill ("AG Mill") and associated horsepower was increased in order to optimize the production rate and enhance the economic metrics compared to the initial PEA completed in 2010.

The designed "In Pit" resources at an 8% Total Iron cut-off are 921.8 million tonnes grading 28.8% Total Iron. At a 15% cut-off grade, these resources decrease slightly to 908.5 million tonnes, grading 29.1% Total Iron whereas they amount to 833 million tonnes grading 30.1% Total Iron at a 20% cut off. This demonstrates the quality of the "In Pit" resources. The current global NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate was announced on October 3, 2011 (See Champion's press release dated October 3, 2011)1. As the designed "In Pit" resources of the Fire Lake North Project are now 921.8 million tonnes, the recommendation in the PEA is to evaluate the option of increasing the production rate by adding a second production line in the concentrator. This will be included in the scope of the 2012 Feasibility Study.

The PEA study is based on a stand-alone operation at Fire Lake North and does not consider any other adjacent projects in the area (refer to the appended Figure 1 map). The resource definition drilling program has been initiated and is designed to convert the majority of the current resources to the Measured and Indicated categories for the 2012 Feasibility Study for both production rate scenarios, i.e., associated to one or two concentrator production lines.

Results from the PEA indicate Fire Lake North to be a viable and economically robust project for the Base Case production scenario. Further evaluation of options to reduce costs and increase concentrate production could significantly enhance the project economics. The additional capital required to increase production with the addition of a second production line would be significantly less than the capital expenditures for this first production line. Other options will be evaluated during the course of the Feasibility Study with a focus on cost reduction. Ongoing discussions with strategic partners and stakeholders to evaluate various rail transportation options are being studied.

Tom Larsen, Champion's President and CEO states, "The excellent 2011 exploration results have translated into a more than threefold increase in the Net Present Value for Fire Lake North. We currently have sufficient resources to support two concentrator production lines of high quality iron concentrate. Fire Lake North will be Champion's initial mine operation due to the higher quality iron ore present that is coarser grained and clean of deleterious elements. With the PEA study in hand, we will continue our discussions with potential strategic partners as we move to complete the feasibility study in 2012. "

There is potential for Fire Lake North to become a significant low cost iron ore producer with a new concentrator equipped with today's advanced mineral processing technologies. The Company will further analyze lower cost opportunities during the Feasibility Study.

The Fire Lake North Project

Fire Lake North is located adjacent (to the north) of ArcelorMittal's operating Fire Lake Mine and is 60 km to the south of Cliffs Natural Resources Inc.'s ("Cliffs") Bloom Lake Mine in northeastern Quebec. Fire Lake North is situated at the southern end of the Labrador Trough, known to be coarser grained due to higher grade metamorphism within the Grenville geological Province. The Fermont-Wabush-Labrador City Iron Ore District is world renowned Iron ore mining camp, and is considered to be an optimal location to develop Iron ore resource projects.

The four Iron ore producers in the vicinity comprise Canada's Iron ore production currently estimated at more than 40 million tonnes of Iron concentrate per year, including production from Cliffs' Bloom Lake Mine which was commissioned last year by Consolidated Thompson Iron Mines Limited. It was the first mine to be built in this district since the 1970's.

Final results from the balance of the thirty one hole, 8,124 metre Summer 2011 programme will be announced on receipt of all assays, including V205 values, estimated for the second week in December.

Given these delays, completion of the NI 43-101 report and recommendations is expected in Q1 2012. Planning for the IPO is still on track, with a target date in mid Q1.

The foregoing historical resource estimates were completed prior to the implementation of the NI 43-101 requirements. Given the quality of the historic work completed by J.R. Mowat of Stratmat in 1960, the Company believes the resource estimates to be both relevant and reliable. However, a qualified person has not completed sufficient work to classify the historic mineral resources as current mineral resources, and is not treating the historic resources as current. Hence, they should not be relied upon. The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 by Etienne Forbes, P.Geo., the Company's QP on the project.

The claims cover approximately 19 kilometres cumulative strike length of magnetic anomaly, interpreted to define tightly folded specularite, specular hematite, and magnetite iron formation.

Twenty-three drill holes totalling 5,901 m were completed on the O'Keefe-Purdy Project during 2011 from the original 10,000 m proposed program with assay results pending for eight of the holes. With the Operator's focus of advancing the flagship Fire Lake North Project to feasibility, the remaining 4,100 m of drilling originally proposed for O'Keefe-Purdy was deferred.

The twenty three completed drill holes focused primarily on validating and expanding historic resources. Eight of the twelve holes collared on the Lac O'Keefe Nord-ouest Occurrence confirmed this historic resource plus extended it down-dip, where it remains open at depth. The five holes completed in the Lac O'Keefe Nord-est Occurrence tested less than half of its underlying magnetic response. Drill holes OP11-01, OP11-04 and OP11-07 confirm the Nord-est Occurrence is greater than 1000 m in length. The six holes completed in the central area of the property tested less than an estimated 20% of the favourable magnetic response underlying the central and eastern portions of the property. An estimated 65% of the O'Keefe-Purdy Project's favourable magnetic responses remain to be drilled. The Operator will defer a Mineral Resource Estimate until additional drilling is completed to allow for better estimates of total potential resources for the O'Keefe-Purdy Project.

Fancamp's Lac Lamelee South Project-214m Grading 31.2% FeT
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 1, 2011) - Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FNC) is pleased to announce that, following the news release on November 11th, results continue to indicate that the Lac Lamelee South Deposit has the potential of significant tonnages. This property is located in an important iron ore district characterized by the operating ArcelorMittal Fire Lake Mine and the adjacent CHM/FNC Fire Lake North project with its newly released NI 43-101 resource of 1061.3 Million tonnes @ 28.8% total iron, measured, indicated and inferred.

Assays from three more holes drilled in the Mountain Pond zone continue to intersect high grade magnetite and hematite iron formations. The following three holes were designed to test the developing geological model and as such were drilled nearly down dip at angles of -80, -63, and -46 degrees all on one section, at 100m spacing, and all drilled with azimuths of 180 degrees. All intersections quoted are down-hole lengths.

Drill hole LS-2011-12 intersected a complex series of mineralized intervals separated by narrow shears or unmineralized sections as follows; 7.0 metres grading 31.7% Total Iron ("FeT") from 75.0m - 82.0m, 15.4 metres grading 25.7% FeT from 105.0m - 120.4m, 10.0 metres grading 32.9% FeT from 222.0m - 232.0m, 31.0 metres grading 39.3% FeT from 244.0m - 274.0m, 22.0 metres grading 35.8% FeT from 282.0m - 304.0m, and 58.0 grading 27.2% FeT from 369.0m - 427.0m.

Drill hole LS-2011-13 contained two significant intersections of 60.7 metres grading 24.3% FeT from 3.0m - 63.7m, and 22.0 metres grading 27.1% FeT from 243.0m - 265.0m.

Drill hole LS-2011-14, a nearly continuous mineralized intersection to a depth of 355m, contained two significant intersections of 214.0m grading 31.2% FeT from 6.0m - 220.0m in magnetite iron formation, followed by 14.0 metres grading 28.5% FeT from 220.0m - 234.0 in hematite iron formation, and 105.0 metres grading 29.8% FeT from 250.0m - 355.0m.

The drill program was completed on October 23rd, with a total of 5,613m in 17 drill holes. Results are pending on an additional three holes drilled between the Tanguay zone and the Mountain Pond zone.

Assay Results From the 2011 Drilling Program Completed at Fancamp's 17.5% Owned Moire Lake Project



VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire -12/07/11)- Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V: FNC.V - News) is pleased to announce that, Champion Minerals Inc. (the "Operator") has provided the remaining assay results from the 2011 Moire Lake diamond-drilling program. The Moire Lake Project, which comprises Cluster 1 of Fancamp's 17.5% owned Fermont Iron Holdings in north-eastern Quebec, is immediately east of ArcelorMittal's Mount Wright Mine property, and is 8 kilometres south of existing rail transport infrastructure.

Twenty-one drill holes totalling 9,347 metres (m) were completed at Moire Lake in 2011. The initial drill holes tested a newly interpreted geological model that indicated significant upside potential to the Historic Mineral Resource Estimate(1) for the Lac Moire Occurrence (102 MT grading 31% Total Iron ("FeT")). Favourable results from this original 5,000 m drilling program encouraged the Operator to increase the drill program metreage.

The last drill hole completed at Moire Lake - LM11-021 - intersected 336.4 m of magnetite-hematite rich iron formation (IF) grading 27.7% FeT that included an interval of 248.1 m grading 31.6% FeT. Hole LM11-021 was drilled to cross-cut the IF intersection of 503.4 m grading 31.2% FeT encountered in drill hole LM11-012. Holes LM11-012 and LM11-021 were collared over the southeastern part of the historic Lac Moire Occurrence(2), and demonstrate that the IF around the southern fold closure is substantially thickened.

Table 1 provides a list of highlight composite assay results for drill holes LM11-017 through LM11-021, inclusive.

The hole was drilled on-section and down-dip of holes LM11-002 and LM11-015, which intersected 119.3 m grading 26.6% FeT and 217.4 m grading 25.3% FeT, respectively. These drill holes were completed on the most northerly section historically drilled at the Lac Moire Occurrence and extend the mineralized zone several hundred metres down-dip from the historic interpretation.

Drill holes LM11-18 to LM11-20, inclusive, intersected iron mineralization on progressive 150 m to 200 m step-outs along strike, thereby extending the IF mineralization 500 m to the northwest around the northern fold closure and up to the western property boundary. The mineralization is interpreted to continue onto the neighbouring ArcelorMittal Mont Wright Mine property.

Drilling of the 4 kilometre, "Northeast Trend" magnetic anomaly underlying the eastern part of the Moire Lake Project, has been deferred until 2012 as the Operator focuses on the Feasibility and Development of the flagship Fire Lake North Project.

The Operator has commissioned P&E Mining Consultants Inc. to complete a National Instrument 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate for the Moire Lake Project with results expected in early 2012.

The Fermont Iron Holdings

The 17.5% owned Fermont Holdings comprise seventeen properties, three of which - Fire Lake North, Bellechasse and Harvey-Tuttle - host combined, NI 43-101 compliant, Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources estimated at 400 Million Tonnes grading 30.6% FeT, and Inferred Mineral Resources estimated at 1.82 Billion Tonnes grading 25.4% FeT, at a 15% FeT cut-off(4).

Long Intersections of High-Grade Iron Formation at Fancamp's 17.5% Owned Oil Can Project, Adjacent to the Fire Lake North Project, Fermont, Quebec

- ACQUIREMEDIA
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 13, 2011) - Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FNC) is pleased to announce that, Champion Minerals Inc. (the "Operator") has released assay results for three additional drill holes completed on the company's 17.5% owned Oil Can project, located northeast of, and contiguous with, the company's 17.5% owned flagship Fire Lake North project in the Fermont iron ore district, Quebec.

The four drill holes completed on the South zone at Oil Can were drilled on sections spaced approximately 400 metres apart, along the estimated 1,300-metre strike length of a crescent-shaped magnetic anomaly. To help determine the true width of the targeted iron formation, hole OC11-08 was drilled toward the bearing of holes OC11-02 and OC11-05.

In the central and widest part of the anomaly, drill hole OC11-08 intersected 545.7 metres of magnetite-hematite-rich iron formation grading 33.7 per cent total iron that includes an interval of 442.3 metres grading 36.4 per cent total iron. Drill hole OC11-05 intersected 303.4 metres grading 34.7 per cent total iron that includes 130.8 metres grading 36.5 per cent total iron whereas drill hole OC11-02, located at the eastern end of the anomaly, intersected 401.5 metres grading 30.7 per cent total iron that includes a 213.5-metre interval grading 33.1 per cent total iron (see Champion press release dated Oct. 20, 2011). Drill hole OC11-07, located at the western end of the anomaly, intersected 197.2 metres grading 26.8 per cent total iron.

The table provides specifications for drill holes OC11-04 to OC11-08, inclusive, with selected composite assay results included for the three South zone holes.

                   The four drill holes that evaluated the South zone's underlying magnetic anomaly have delineated a magnetite-hematite-rich iron formation over approximately 1.3 kilometres of strike length, with an indicated true width up to 250 metres and similar or greater depth.

There are four strong magnetic-response anomalies at Oil Can; the North, Central, South and East anomalies or zones, respectively. Assay results for drill holes OC11-01 (East zone), OC11-02 (South zone) and OC11-03 (Central zone) were previously announced (Champion press release dated Oct. 20, 2011). Assay results for the first two holes completed on the North zone (OC11-04 and OC11-06), are pending.

The Operator is nearing completion of its 2011 drill program at Oil Can with two drill rigs drilling the final holes. Once completed, these two fly drill rigs will be converted to land-based rigs and mobilized onto Fire Lake North to facilitate the feasibility-study-level resource definition and geotechnical drilling, currently under way. With completion of the Oil Can drilling program and the receipt of assay results, the Operator expects to deliver an initial National Instrument 43-101 mineral resource estimate for the Oil Can project in the first quarter of 2012.

The Fermont iron holdings

The Fermont holdings (17.5% Fancamp / 82.5% Champion) comprise 17 properties, three of which, Fire Lake North, Bellechasse and Harvey-Tuttle, host combined National Instrument 43-101-compliant measured and indicated mineral resources estimated at 400 million tonnes grading 30.6 per cent total iron and inferred mineral resources estimated at 1.82 billion tonnes grading 25.4 per cent total iron, at a 15-per-cent-total-iron cut-off.

Fancamp Exploration Ltd.: Final Assay Results From the Magpie Project

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 7, 2012) - Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FNC) is pleased to announce an update following the receipt of all assay results from its 2011 drill programme on the 46.7% owned Magpie titaniferous magnetite deposit on the North Shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence near Havre St. Pierre, Quebec. Also included are the Vanadium Pentoxide (V2O5) assay results recently obtained from the laboratory which were not available for the press release of November 17, 2011.

All holes presented were drilled on the # 2 Deposit which has an historic and non NI 43-101 compliant resource of 912,474,000 tons of 43.10% Fe, 10.60% TiO2, and 1.55% Cr. A total of 31 diamond drill holes (DDH's) were collared from Section 12 to Section 33 representing a strike length of 2.1 km. Core lengths for 60° E inclined holes are considered close to the true width.

The drill programme was conducted from mid-June to September 2011. It utilized two diamond drills with large core sizes (NQ and BTW); a total of 8,000 metres in 31 holes were completed. A semi-permanent camp for 12 men was established near the south end of the air-strip established by Stratmat in 1959 during their exhaustive sampling program. The equipment was mobilized from Havre St. Pierre by fixed wing to the air-strip; local moves were by helicopter. Core was logged and split on site. The half splits were flown by fixed wing to Havre St. Pierre and thence by truck to ALS Laboratories for assays.

Management is very pleased with the results. Geological logging and chemical assays show that the Magpie deposit is uniform in composition and mineralogy from the hanging wall to the foot wall, with only very minor dyking in the first and last ten metres of each intersection. The deposit forms a long ridge approximately 250 metres above the valley floor - amenable to low cost mining with negligible waste rock.

The Company has commissioned P&E Mining Consultants Inc. of Brampton Ontario to conduct modelling and calculation of the resources at Magpie based upon drilling results. Magpie was visited during the drill programme, and the NI 43-101 resource estimate is expected shortly.

The following table lists all of the drill holes on Magpie together with weighted average assay values.

The Company is following two promising metallurgical routes for the Magpie ore. The massive mineralization contains about 15% gangue (feldspar and quartz), most of which can be removed by physical separation, with the objective of increasing the metal content of the concentrate output. This will serve firstly to support high volume production of concentrate products suitable for smelting purposes, in effect an iron product with titanium, chrome and vanadium credits and secondly to allow hydrometallurgical processing for low volume premium metal production of high grade Fe, TiO2, Cr2O3 and V2O5 product. Initial concentrating tests are underway at Corem as were hydrometallurgical tests which have already been reported. These latter are proprietary to Magpie and are in the process of further pilot-scale development scheduled for Q2 2012.

The mechanics of taking the Magpie to an IPO in the Spring are underway.

The historic resource estimates were completed prior to the implementation of the NI 43-101 standards. Given the quality of this work supervised by J.R. Mowat of Stratmat in 1960, the Company believes the resource estimates to be both relevant and reliable. However, a qualified person has not completed sufficient work to classify the historic mineral resources as current mineral resources, and is not treating the historic resources as current. Hence, they should not be relied upon. The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 by Etienne Forbes, P.Geo., the Company's QP on the project.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 5, 2012) - Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FNC.V - News) is pleased to announce that a letter of intent has been entered into with Bold Ventures Inc. ("Bold"), whereby Bold can earn a 50% interest in the Company's McFaulds Lake, Ontario ("FNC-ROF") property by making cash or share payments totalling $1,500,000 and incurring $8,000,000 in exploration expenditures, over a three year period. An additional 10% interest may be earned upon Bold delivering a positive feasibility study and making an additional payment of $700,000.
Richard Nemis, the President of Bold and John Harvey, P.Eng. its Chief Operating Officer were part of the Discovery Team of the famed Noront Eagle One Ni, Cu, PGM Deposit which lies immediately adjacent to Fancamp's FNC-ROF Property. Strong geological evidence arising from Fancamp's work lead the Company to conclude that Eagle One ("Eagle's Nest") is a fault offset of Fancamp's large C-1 ultrabasic target and that high grade Eagle One type sulphides would be found at depth. The deepest Fancamp holes on this target were on the order of 1000 metres depth and downhole geophysics indicated the presence of potentially interesting offhole conductors. The interest of Bold Ventures Inc. in pursuing this and other models is most encouraging and speaks for itself.

The Company is looking forward to its association with Bold and to the continued development of the FNC-ROF Property.

Fancamp Receives NI 43-101 Resource Estimate for Its 46.72% Owned Magpie Deposit (ccnm)

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 18, 2012) -Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FNC) is pleased to report the receipt of an NI 43-101 in pit mineral resource estimate prepared by P&E Mining Consultants Inc. (P&E) of Brampton, Ontario, on the Magpie #2 Deposit at its 46.72% owned Magpie Iron-Titanium Property with the following results:

1.The current Mineral Resource estimates were calculated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions.
2.Mineral resources, which are not mineral reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability. The mineral resource estimate may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.
3.The quantity and grade of estimated Inferred Resource reported herein are uncertain and there has been insufficient exploration to categorize them as an Indicated or Measured Resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in reclassification of Inferred Mineral Resources to the Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource categories.
4.P&E utilized a $1.00 Cdn/US exchange rate, a mining cost of C$1.90/tonne and C$9.50/tonne for the processing, G&A, and freight costs. The process recovery, estimated to be 82%, and an Iron ore price of US$1.85/dmtu were used to complete the Whittle pit optimization with 50 degree overall slopes to estimate the in-situ Mineral Resources.

The results of 34 drill holes over a 3.4 km strike length show the remarkable homogeneity of the Magpie Number 2 Deposit. Inverse distance squared (1/d2) grade interpolation was undertaken on 5 metre composites in constraining wireframes.

The Magpie #1 and #3 Occurrences, with their non NI 43-101 compliant historical resources of Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves of 89.2 million tonnes of 43.7% FeT (62.5% Fe2O3), 10.0% Ti02 and 1.3% Cr2O3, and 86.6 million tonnes of 40.7% FeT (58.2% Fe2O3), 10.3% TiO2 and 3.7% Cr2O3, respectively, are not as yet included. Historical mineral reserves are non-compliant to NI 43-101 Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources standards and therefore should not be relied upon. A Qualified Person has not done any work on the historical numbers to qualify them as current Mineral Resources. There is not sufficient exploration and/or development work at this time to indicate if these numbers or parts thereof will ever be qualified as current Mineral Resources.

A third drill program is planned, following the Initial Public Offering ("IPO") to bring the Magpie #1 and #3 Occurrences to current NI 43-101 Mineral Resources standards. In addition, the NI 43-101 Mineral Resources estimates of the Magpie #2 Occurrence, will be upgraded to a higher quality Mineral Resources classification, together with further testing for depth extensions which are currently open.

Hydrometallurgical test work on the Magpie mineralization continues at SGS Lakefield, while beneficiation tests continue at COREM facilities in Quebec City for the objective of achieving optimal concentrate products suitable for smelting purposes.

The technical information in this news release was reviewed and approved by Qualified Persons Eugene Puritch, P. Eng., and Antoine Yassa, P. Geo., of P&E. A technical report to support this news release will be filed on SEDAR within 45 days.

Champion and Fancamp Enter Into Letter of Intent for Champion's Acquisition of Fancamp's Joint Venture Interest in the Fermont Properties and Subscription for Private Placement in Fancamp

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 9, 2012) - CHAMPION MINERALS INC. (TSX:CHM)(FRANKFURT:P02) ("Champion") and FANCAMP EXPLORATION LTD. (TSX VENTURE:FNC) ("Fancamp") are pleased to announce that they have entered into a letter of intent for Champion to: (i) acquire Fancamp's 17.5% joint venture interest in the Fermont Properties (the "Acquisition") in consideration for 14,000,000 common shares and 7,000,000 non-transferable warrants, (ii) subscribe for 10,000,000 units (each consisting of one common share and one non-transferable warrant) of Fancamp for gross proceeds of $3,000,000 (the "Private Placement"), and (iii) waive its right to buy-down one-third (representing a 0.5% royalty interest) of Fancamp's 50% interest in the 3% royalty (the "Royalty") on the iron production from the Fermont Properties in consideration of the issuance of 8,000,000 common shares of Fancamp (the "Royalty Waiver"). All securities acquired in these transactions would be subject to a lock-up agreement for a period of six years following the closing date.

The Fermont Properties consist of 17 iron-rich mineral concessions, totalling approximately 714 square kilometres in the Fermont Iron Ore District of northeastern Quebec, located 250 kilometres north of Port-Cartier and 60 km southwest of the town of Fermont. Currently, Champion holds an 82.5% interest in the Fermont Properties and Fancamp holds the remaining 17.5% interest. On completion of the Acquisition, Champion will hold an undivided 100% interest in the Fermont Properties, subject to the Royalty.

Tom Larsen, Champion's President and CEO commented, "Our agreement with Fancamp which would result in Champion's 100% ownership of the Fermont Properties will allow our project team to focus on advancing Fire Lake North to detailed feasibility study later this year and give us increased flexibility in arranging for development partners and sale of the iron ore concentrate. Also, Champion's investment in Fancamp builds on our existing partnership and will permit Champion shareholders to participate in future royalty cash flow from all Fermont Properties and the development of Fancamp's Magpie Project containing a substantial iron-titanium deposit."

Fancamp's President, Peter H. Smith, stated, "This agreement with Champion will complete our contributory phase of Fancamp's share of the Fermont Joint Venture, locking in the value of a significant share of this immense asset originally staked by Fancamp as a grassroots project, a rather remarkable achievement in a short period of time. This arrangement will permit Fancamp shareholders to benefit from the expertise and experience of Champion's project team to build and operate the Fire Lake North Project and fully participate in the royalty stream from all Fermont Properties."

Acquisition Highlights

-- Acquisition of Fancamp's 17.5% interest in the Fermont Properties
currently governed by the Fermont Option and Joint Venture Agreement
dated August 31, 2009 (the "Joint Venture Agreement") in consideration
of the issuance of 14,000,000 common shares and 7,000,000 non-
transferable warrants of Champion (the "Payment Warrants") representing
12.6% of the common shares of Champion on a non-diluted basis, including
the 1,025,000 shares of Champion already owned by Fancamp. The Joint
Venture Agreement will be terminated except that Champion's right of
first refusal on the Lamellee iron property contained therein will
continue.

-- Each Payment Warrant will give Fancamp the right to purchase one common
share of Champion at a price of $3.00 at any time between two and a half
and three years after closing, subject to acceleration in certain
circumstances.

-- Fancamp will be entitled to nominate two persons to the Board of
Directors of Champion, the first by appointment upon closing of the
Acquisition and the second to be nominated for election at the next
annual meeting of shareholders of Champion.

-- Fancamp will not vote its common shares of Champion against any nominees
to Champion's Board of Directors proposed by Champion or vote against
any resolutions supported by the Board of Directors of Champion, subject
to certain exceptions.

-- Fancamp will be restricted from transferring securities of Champion for
a period of six years following the closing date of the Acquisition,
subject to certain exceptions, and transfers subsequent to that period
will be subject to further restrictions.


Private Placement Highlights

-- Champion will subscribe for 10,000,000 units of Fancamp at a price of
$0.30 per unit which will result in Champion holding 16.49% of the
common shares of Fancamp on a non-diluted basis, including the 8,000,000
common shares of Fancamp to be issued in consideration of the Royalty
Waiver (described below).

-- Each unit will consist of one common share and one non-transferable
warrant (the "Private Placement Warrant"). Each Private Placement
Warrant will give Champion the right to purchase one common share of
Fancamp at a price of $0.60 at any time between two and a half and three
years after closing, subject to acceleration in certain circumstances.
If and when those warrants are exercised in the future and assuming no
other shares of Fancamp are issued by Fancamp or are acquired by

TORONTO, ONTARIO and VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 18, 2012) - CHAMPION MINERALS INC. (TSX:CHM)(OTCQX:CPMNF)(FRANKFURT:P02) ("Champion") and FANCAMP EXPLORATION LTD. (TSX VENTURE:FNC) ("Fancamp") announce the completion of the acquisition by Champion of Fancamp's 17.5% joint venture interest in the Fermont Properties in the Fermont iron ore district in north-eastern Quebec, which was not already owned by Champion effective May 17, 2012, following release from escrow today. The acquisition was paid for by Champion issuing 14,000,000 common shares and 7,000,000 non-transferable warrants to Fancamp. Each warrant entitles Fancamp to purchase one common share of Champion at a price of $3.00 per share at any time between two and a half and three years after the date of issue, subject to acceleration in certain circumstances. The shares and warrants of Champion are subject to a four-month regulatory hold period and to a six-year voluntary restriction on transfer, subject to the consent of Champion. With the acquisition of those shares and together with shares currently held, Fancamp holds 12.59% of the shares of Champion on a non-diluted basis.
As a result of the acquisition, Champion now owns a 100% interest in the Fermont Properties and Champion and Fancamp terminated their joint venture relating to the Fermont Properties. However, Champion continues to retain its right of refusal over Fancamp's interest in the Lamellee Property and Fancamp continues to retain its 50% interest in the 3% royalty on the iron production from the Fermont Properties.
In connection with the acquisition, Fancamp has obtained from Champion a permanent and irrevocable waiver of Champion's right to buy-down one-third of Fancamp's 50% interest in the 3% royalty, which represents a 0.5% royalty interest. For this waiver, Fancamp paid $2.0 million to Champion. As a result, Champion retains its right to buy-down the royalty, from a third party, from 3% to 2.5%.
In connection with the waiver, Champion invested $2,000,000 in Fancamp by acquiring 8,000,000 common shares of Fancamp from treasury at a price of $0.25 per share.
Champion also invested $3,000,000 in Fancamp by acquiring 10,000,000 units of Fancamp at a price of $0.30 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share of Fancamp and one non-transferable warrant to purchase one common share of Fancamp at a price of $0.60 at any time between two and a half and three years after the date hereof, subject to acceleration in certain circumstances. As a result of regulatory requirements, Champion has agreed not to exercise warrants where the shares issuable upon exercise would result in a change of control of Fancamp unless approved by the disinterested shareholders of Fancamp. The shares and warrants of Fancamp are subject to a four-month regulatory hold period and to a six-year voluntary restriction on transfer, subject to the consent of Fancamp. With the acquisition of those shares and the other shares referred to above, Champion holds 16.46% of the shares of Fancamp on a non-diluted basis.
As a result of Champion and Fancamp acquiring securities in the other, Champion and Fancamp have entered into a reciprocal rights agreement governing certain investor rights and obligations as between them.
Champion and Fancamp will each be restricted from transferring securities of the other for a period of six years, after which time transfers will be permitted subject to certain restrictions. Champion and Fancamp will each be restricted from voting in certain circumstances, including not voting against the election of any nominee to the Board of Directors proposed by the other or against any resolutions supported by the Board of Directors of the other, subject to certain exceptions.
Champion and Fancamp will each be entitled to nominate two persons to the Board of Directors of the other so long as Champion holds at least 12,000,000 shares of Fancamp and Fancamp holds at least 10,000,000 shares of Champion.
Effective today, Mr. Paul Ankcorn, one of the nominees of Champion, has been appointed to the Board of Directors of Fancamp, and Mr. Jean Lafleur, one of the nominees of Fancamp, has been appointed to the Board of Directors of Champion. With that appointment, Mr. Ankcorn has resigned from the Board of Directors of Champion but joins its Advisory Board. The remaining nominees of Champion and Fancamp will be nominated for election to the Board of Directors of the other at their respective next annual meetings of shareholders.
The boards of directors of Fancamp and Champion have each unanimously determined that the proposed transaction is fair and in the best interest of their respective companies. Raymond James Ltd, financial advisor to Fancamp and its board of directors, for this transaction has provided an opinion to the effect that the consideration offered to Fancamp shareholders is fair, from a financial point of view, to Fancamp shareholders. Primary Capital Inc. acted as financial advisor to Champion and its board of directors for these transactions.
For past services rendered, Fancamp has issued 250,000 common shares at a price of $0.30 per share to Raymond James Ltd. as part of its compensation. The shares are subject to a four-month regulatory hold period.
