Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V: FNC) is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has unanimously approved a strategic reorganization of its business. Pursuant to the Spin Out, all of Fancamp’s core Exploration Assets (as defined below) will be spun out to Fancamp shareholders through a newly incorporated company, Goldera Exploration Ltd. Shareholders of Fancamp will receive shares of Goldera in proportion to their shareholdings in Fancamp. There will be no change to shareholders’ existing interests in Fancamp.
The Spin Out of the Exploration Assets is being undertaken to unlock value, enhance focus and market recognition, and provide shareholders with ownership across two distinct growth platforms.
“Fancamp has reached an inflexion point,” said Rajesh Sharma, President & CEO of Fancamp, “the Spin Out will enable the Corporation to accelerate the execution of two distinct value creation strategies while ensuring that our shareholders participate directly in every part of the growth we are generating. In addition, the reorganization will attract focused capital and new investor interest across two clear investment streams as we build scale.”
Fancamp anticipates that Goldera will be fully funded by way of completion of a concurrent non-brokered private placement of securities of Goldera to fund work programs and for general working capital purposes.
The Spin Out will be effected by way of plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), and must be approved by the Supreme Court of British Columbia and by the affirmative vote of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66.67%) of Fancamp’s shareholders in attendance at a shareholders’ meeting to be held for such purpose. Fancamp intends to apply for listing of the shares of Goldera on the TSX Venture Exchange. Concurrently with the Spin Out, Fancamp intends to seek approval from the TSX-V for the updating of its listing status from a Mining Issuer to an Investment Issuer pursuant to the policies of the TSX-V. Any such listing and Investment Issuer Listing will be subject to Fancamp fulfilling all of the requirements of the TSX-V.
Once the Spin Out and the Investment Issuer Listing becomes effective, the result will be two separate, focused entities, one with a proven track record of identifying overlooked and undervalued investment opportunities in the resource sector, and the other will be an exploration focused firm with strategic interests in high potential mineral projects. This structure ensures that shareholders benefit directly from both the stable, long-term value growth of the investment and royalty portfolio remaining in Fancamp, as well as the discovery upside and near-term catalysts from the Goldera exploration vehicle.
Goldera Exploration Ltd. (New Spin-Out Company with Pure Exploration Focus)
After completion of the Spin Out, the new exploration entity, Goldera, will hold all core exploration assets, option agreements and active exploration joint ventures other than the Titanium Assets. Goldera’s mandate will be a high-growth, discovery-driven explorer with a streamlined structure, with the sole focus on delivering exploration success and asset-level value creation. Its asset portfolio will include:
Investment Assets to Remain in Fancamp
After completion of the Spin Out, the existing Fancamp entity will hold all marketable securities, financial instruments and royalties currently within Fancamp, consolidating them into a single, cash-flow-oriented vehicle, as summarized below. Its mandate will be growth, monetization, and expansion of its portfolio, with a focus on scale through strategic acquisitions while maintaining a capital light business model. Its asset portfolio will include:
The Corporation expects to complete the Spin Out, the Concurrent Financing and the Investment Issuer Listing in or around Spring 2026. The Transactions are subject to a number of conditions which are customary for similar transactions, including but not limited to, the receipt of Fancamp shareholder approval at the Meeting, the approval of the Court, the approval of the TSX-V, as well as other standard closing conditions. There can be no assurance that the Transactions will be completed as proposed, or at all. Fancamp will have no obligation to proceed with the Transactions, and may elect, at its sole discretion, not to proceed with the Transactions for any reason whatsoever. Final terms of the Transaction and determination to proceed remain subject to, among other things, further tax and securities considerations, and Fancamp expects to provide a further update to shareholders in due course.
Additional details of the Transaction will be included in the information circular to be made available to securityholders of Fancamp in connection with the Meeting, which will be available on the Corporation’s SEDAR+ profile.
