Corporate Update

2025 has been a transformative year for Fancamp as it advanced its strategic refocus and growth initiatives with the announcement of spin-out of its core exploration assets into a new entity, Goldera Exploration Ltd. The Corporation’s transition and spin-out plans are designed to surface hidden value and give investors two clear investment theses: a focused exploration vehicle with discovery-driven upside, and an investment and royalty-oriented company with diversified exposure, potential cash flow with focus on building scale. The Corporation signed an option to acquire up to 80% of the Egan gold property in Ontario’s prolific Abitibi belt, a large, under-explored and previously overlooked syenite gold system offering both high-grade and bulk-tonnage potential, in the same region as Kirkland Lake. Fancamp also appointed Jasper Bertisen to its Board amid a planned corporate reorganization to separate financial assets from exploration ventures. The Corporation launched a Normal – Course Issuer Bid to repurchase up to 5% of its shares, reflecting the confidence in its value and future prospects. Fancamp’s stock increased 100% during 2025 which is a reflection of the market’s support for the Corporation’s progress and its plans for the future.
