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

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 7, 2011) - Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FNC) 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.

* Selected Composite Assay Results are stated only for results received to date. The Selected Composites are not necessarily representative of the average grade or true thickness of the mineral zones or potential resource.
** Intervals are down-hole lengths and not true widths of the mineral zones.
*** Grades are calculated from Total Fe% sample assays completed by ALS Chemex Laboratories using the "High Grade/Ores Method" and XRF analysis.

Drill hole LM11-017 intersected two IF intervals: the first of 156.7 m grading 32.7% FeT and the second, 80 m further down-hole, of 82.5 m grading 27.7% FeT. 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⁾.

⁽¹⁾ Historical Mineral Resources⁽³⁾ are from Paquet, 1963 (MRNFQ Assessment File GM 13035).

⁽²⁾ The on-line documented information on the Lac Moire Occurrence (Lac Moire (Quartz)-Est) describes the rocks hosting the mineralization and the historic resource⁽²⁾. The description of the occurrence can be viewed on-line at http://sigeom.mrnf.gouv.qc.ca/ (COGITE #23B/14-0014).

⁽³⁾ All historical Mineral Resource estimates outlined in this disclosure are non-compliant to NI 43-101 Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves standards, and should therefore not be relied upon.

⁽⁴⁾ 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 adopted by CIM Council adopted by CIM Council December 11, 2005 and subsequently June 30th, 2011.

⁽⁴⁾ 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.
