VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (“ Fancamp ” or the “ Corporation ”) (TSX Venture Exchange: FNC ) is pleased to announce that, further to the Corporation’s news releases dated December 1, 2025 and March 30, 2026, Fancamp has entered into an arrangement agreement (the “ Arrangement Agreement ”) with Goldera Exploration Ltd. (“ Goldera ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, under which the parties intend to complete a spin out transaction (the “ Spin Out ”) of all of Fancamp’s core Exploration Assets (as defined below) pursuant to which the existing shareholders of Fancamp (“ Shareholders ”) will receive 1/7th of a common share of Goldera (each, a “ Goldera Share ”) for every common share of Fancamp (each, a “ Fancamp Share ”) held. The Spin Out will be effected by way of plan of arrangement (the “ Arrangement ”) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “ BCBCA ”). Concurrently with the Spin Out, Fancamp is seeking approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the “ TSX-V ”) for a change of business from a Tier 2 Mining Issuer to a Tier 2 Investment Issuer under TSX-V Policy 5.2 – Changes of Business and Reverse Takeovers (the “ Change of Business ”).
Spin Out and Change of Business Benefits The Spin Out of the Exploration Assets, combined with the Change of Business, is being undertaken to unlock value, enhance focus and market recognition as well as provide Shareholders with ownership across two distinct growth platforms. The Corporation believes that the Spin Out and the Change of Business will provide several substantial benefits to the shareholders of both Fancamp and Goldera, including the following: The Spin Out and the Change of Business are expected to result in two separate, focused and well-capitalized entities, one with a proven track record of identifying overlooked and undervalued investment opportunities in the mineral resource sector, and the other will be an exploration focused firm with strategic interests in high potential mineral projects. The Spin Out and the Change of Business are expected to allow Fancamp to focus on growth, monetization and expansion of its investment portfolio, while allowing Goldera to act as a discovery-driven mineral exploration company with a focus on delivering exploration success and asset-level value creation.
The Spin Out and Change of Business are expected to maximize Shareholder value by allowing the market to value Fancamp’s portfolio of investments and the Exploration Assets independently of one another. It is expected that holding the Exploration Assets in Goldera will accelerate development of the Exploration Assets and give scope to new acquisitions. The Change of Business will confirm the natural evolution of the business of the Corporation over the past several years to incorporate investment activities that were complementary to its exploration portfolio.

Arrangement Details The Arrangement will include, among other things, a transfer of the Exploration Assets by Fancamp to Goldera in consideration for Goldera Shares, a share capital reorganization of Fancamp and a securities exchange whereby Shareholders will receive Goldera Shares. Pursuant to the Arrangement, the existing Fancamp Shares will be renamed and redesignated as Class A common shares (each, a “ Fancamp Class A Share ”) and Fancamp will create a new class of voting common shares (each, a “ New Fancamp Share ”).
Each Fancamp Class A Share will be exchanged for one New Fancamp Share and 1/7th of a Goldera Share on the effective date of the Arrangement (the “ Effective Date ”). As part of the Arrangement, each outstanding stock option of Fancamp exercisable to acquire one (1) Fancamp Share (each, a “ Fancamp Option ”) will be exchanged for: (i) one (1) replacement stock option of Fancamp exercisable to acquire one (1) New Fancamp Share having an exercise price equal to the product obtained by multiplying the original exercise price of the Fancamp Option by the fair market value of a New Fancamp Share at the effective time of the Arrangement (the “ Effective Time ”), divided by the total fair market value of a New Fancamp Share and the fair market value of 1/7th of a Goldera Share at the Effective Time; and (ii) one (1) stock option of Goldera (each, a “ Goldera Option ”) exercisable to acquire 1/7th of a Goldera Share, each whole Goldera Option having an exercise price equal to the product obtained by multiplying the original exercise price of the Fancamp Option by the fair market value of 1/7th of a Goldera Share at the Effective Time, divided by the total fair market value of a New Fancamp Share and the fair market value of 1/7th of a Goldera Share at the Effective Time, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement. 50% of the Goldera Shares to be issued to Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement (collectively, the “ Restricted Shares ”) shall be subject to the following restrictions on resale and transfer pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement (the “ Contractual Restrictions ”): (i) 10% of the Restricted Shares shall be restricted until 6 months from the Effective Date; (ii) 20% of the Restricted Shares shall be restricted until 12 month from the Effective Date; and (iii) 20% of the Restricted Shares shall be restricted until 18 months from the Effective Date.

The Change of Business Given the extensive expertise and skill sets of the members of the Fancamp Board and management, the Fancamp Board and management believe that the ideal allocation of the Corporation’s working capital would be within the framework of a resources-focused investment company making investments in privately held and publicly traded corporations. The Change of Business will allow Fancamp to focus on its existing investments in the natural resources sector, with the mandate of growth, monetization, and expansion of its portfolio, with a focus on scale through strategic acquisitions while maintaining a capital light business model.
