Fancamp Announces $10,000,000 Brokered Financing by the Magpie Mines Inc.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 8, 2011) - Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FNC) (the "Company") wishes to announce that The Magpie Mines Inc. has entered into an agreement with Industrial Alliance Securities and Secutor Capital Management Corporation (together, the "Agents"), in connection with a private placement financing of $10,000,000 through the sale of up to 6,000,000 common shares (the "Common Shares")at a price of $0.50 per Common Share and 10,000,000 common shares to be issued as "flow-through shares" as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Flow-Through Shares"), at price of $0.70 per Flow-Through Share (the "Offering").

Fancamp Exploration Ltd. holds a 48.64% interest in The Magpie Mines Inc.

The Magpie Mines Inc. owns the Magpie Deposit. The Magpie Deposit is potentially among the world's largest undeveloped titaniferous magnetite deposits with a historical non-NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate exceeding 1 B Tons @43% Fe and 11% TiO2 and still open along strike and at depth.

The deposit is located on Quebec's North Shore, east of Sept Iles, about 140 kilometers north of tidewater.

The Offering is being made by the Agents on a commercially reasonable efforts basis and is expected to close later this month. The Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.

The Company will pay the Agents an aggregate cash commission equal to 5% of the non-Presidents List proceeds raised in respect of the Offering.

The aggregate proceeds raised from this Offering will be used primarily for further drilling to substantially upgrade and add to the current NI 43-101 qualified resource, together with metallurgical test work, as well as for working capital required to complete a proposed initial public offering of The Magpie Mines Inc. later this year.

The foregoing historical resource estimates were completed prior to the implementation of the NI 43-101 requirements. Given the quality of the historic work completed by J.R. Mowat of Stratmat in 1960, discussed herein, the Company believes the resource estimates to be both relevant and reliable. However, a qualified person has not completed sufficient work to classify the historic mineral resources as current mineral resources, and is not treating the historic resources as current. Hence, they should not be relied upon. The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 and reviewed by Peter H. Smith, Ph.D., P.Eng., a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101.
