This follows the notable retirement of Ms. Debra Chapman, who has significantly impacted the company during her tenure.

Deep Experience Boosts Leadership Team
Mr. De joins Fancamp with a wealth of experience, boasting over 20 years in financial management and strategy development. His impressive background includes work with various public and private companies, particularly in the mineral exploration sector. His deep understanding of financial practices is expected to enhance Fancamp's strategic initiatives significantly.

As part of Mr. De's appointment, Fancamp has provided him with stock options to acquire 500,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.08, vesting immediately. This move demonstrates the company’s commitment to aligning the interests of its management with those of its shareholders, promoting a unified vision for growth.

Corporate Developments and Exploration Updates
Fancamp is also making noteworthy strides in its exploration activities as the operator of a joint venture with Acadian Gold Corp. The company is diligently advancing its operations at the McIntyre Brook and Riley Brook properties, focused on developing a promising gold-copper property in a favorable geological landscape.
Recent Exploration Initiatives
Initiating fieldwork in October, Fancamp has executed extensive airborne geophysics surveys across its properties. This includes mapping and prospecting efforts aimed at refining the exploration strategy further, aiming to unlock the geological potential of these areas.
Gravity Survey at Clinton Project
In a parallel effort, Fancamp has embarked on conducting a Gravity Survey at its wholly-owned Clinton project in Southern Québec, an area recognized for its robust mineral exploration prospects. This survey will strategically focus on identifying deep-seated mineral lenses, tapping into previously explored zones rich in copper deposits.
VTEM Survey to Enhance Grasset’s Potential
Another critical component of Fancamp's strategy is the upcoming helicopter-borne VTEM survey over its Grasset property. Located in the Detour-Fenelon Gold Trend, this is expected to provide vital insights into potential Ni-Cu or Cu-Zn massive sulfide mineralization, further strengthening the company’s portfolio in an area known for rich resources.
Stake in KWG Resources
Fancamp's investment strategy has also proven fruitful. The company’s shareholding in KWG Resources has increased significantly, thanks to quarterly issuances, underscoring its commitment to diversifying its investments in mineral exploration. Notably, the corporation’s investment in Champion Iron Limited has yielded a dividend income of $1.08 million recently.
Involvement with EDM Resources
Furthermore, Fancamp recently participated in a private placement with EDM Resources, reinforcing its stake in a promising company that is progressing towards zinc production in Nova Scotia. This partnership symbolizes Fancamp's broader strategy to position itself favorably within the mining sector and unlock new growth avenues.
