Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (“
Fancamp” or the
“
Corporation”) (TSX Venture Exchange:
FNC) is pleased to announce the recent acquisition
by claim staking of 1,404 claim units in New Brunswick, the Riley
Brook property, located approximately 25 kilometers south of Puma
Exploration’s Williams Brook Project. Riley Brook is located within
the highly prospective Appalachian geological province, the
location of several recent major gold discoveries such as New Found
Gold’s Queensway Project. Fancamp’s staking of the Riley Brook
property, as part of its grassroots generative program, is highly
strategic given its jurisdiction within a new prospective area for
both copper and gold mineralization over a large area with
underexplored potential for gold mineralization associated with an
underlying geology of Devonian volcano-sedimentary stack belonging
to the Wapske Formation (refer to https://bit.ly/3VTvZUD).
The Riley Brook property is located in a
recognized mining-friendly jurisdiction with a sizeable land
package of approximately 309 km² situated between the Rocky
Brook Millstream Fault and Woodstock-Catamaran Fault. Both are
major orogenic structures in the Appalachian region, potentially
serving as significant controls for gold deposition and other types
of mineralization. Such structures are key to large orogenic gold
deposits in the Appalachian, exemplified by New Found Gold’s
Queensway Project.
François Auclair, Vice President Exploration of
Fancamp Exploration comments, “With this new addition, Fancamp has
established a notable land position in one of the most attractive
mining jurisdictions in Canada, demonstrating the Corporation’s
expertise in adeptly delineating what could transform into a future
flagship project. This property has seen little modern
exploration and will allow Fancamp’s technical team to conduct
systematic exploration, within a highly prospective mineralized
trend which has demonstrated significant Cu-Au
mineralization.”
A compilation of historical work indicates the
presence of zinc, lead and/or silver of the intermediate
sulfidation type throughout the property in areas such as Mable
Brook, Stewart Peaks South and Blue Mountain Lake (refer to
https://bit.ly/4eqT4Xb). Alteration characteristic of epithermal
type mineralization, such as silicification, kaolinization,
sericitization, potassic alteration, hematization and pyritization
have been recognized in historical drilling performed over the
property¹. These key features identified during the compilation of
historical work programs also highlight the strong potential for
porphyry – epithermal type mineralization on Riley Brook.
Fancamp will initiate an exploration program
this year which will aim to better understand the geology and
mineralization of the area, as well as define the extent of
potential copper-gold mineralization. The Corporation has initiated
a soil sampling program, and further work will include rock
sampling, stripping and channel sampling on copper-gold mineralized
horizons. The soil sampling program will cover three large zones in
an area where historical till and stream gold anomalies were
delineated by regional reconnaissance work programs from the New
Brunswick Government. The Corporation also intends to carry out a
large prospecting program to prioritize exploration work in the
vicinity of the most favorable gold-copper zones.
Fancamp is also pleased to announce that it has
received the New Brunswick Junior Mining Assistance Program Grant
of CAD $50,000 for 2024. The funds will be applied towards a soil
assay and prospecting program at Riley Brook. The Corporation
thanks the New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy
Development for this inaugural support.
