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.
