Resource projects cover more than 1,713 km2 in three provinces at various stages, including the following: hematite magnetite iron formations, titaniferous magnetite & hematite, nickel/copper/PGM, chromite, Volcanogenic Massive and gold.
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sept. 17, 2014) - Fancamp Exploration Ltd. ("Fancamp") (TSX VENTURE:FNC) is pleased to announce that it has signed a letter of intent with Uragold Bay Resources Inc. ("Uragold") (TSX VENTURE:UBR) regarding the sale of 32 claims adjoining Uragold's Beauce Placer Gold Project located in the municipality of Saint-Simon-les-Mines in the Beauce region of southern Quebec.
Uragold's current Beauce paleoplacer project, 5 claims situated between the Rang Chaussegros and the Rang Gustave, covers only twenty-six percent (26%) of the entire historic paleoplacer gold channel. When the transaction closes, Uragold's claim block will cover the full 6.5 km length of the channel.

In 1959, the Beauce Placer Gold Mining Company defined a drilled historical resource of 168,952 Au oz (12,978,710 m3 @ 0.405 g/m3) (June, 1959 - GM08785) on a channel defined as ranging from Rang St-Charles through to Rang Delery, Rang Chaussegros, Rang St-Gustave all the way to Rang 6. (V. Stuart-Williams, Beauce Placer Property NI 43-101 Technical Report, February 2014). All information such as resources estimates and grades herewith presented is historical in nature and while relevant, the information was obtained before the implementation of National Instrument 43-101 and as such does not meet National Instrument 43-101 reporting standards. The historical estimate should not be relied upon until the Company can confirm them.
Studies by Uragold of the auriferous basal till and the underlying saprolite suggest a close proximity source of gold, and since the acquired claims cover an extensive area of the Gilbert river valley this increases the chances that the unknown Bellechasse / Timmins type deposit mentioned in our March 27, 2014 press release will be found on Uragold claims.
Salient points of the non-binding letter of intent are:
Both Parties are actively working to finalize the definitive written Agreement by end of next week, once final board approval is obtained both Parties. The transaction is also subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
Mr. Vivian Stuart-Williams, SACNASPS, working under Special Authorization #290 of the Quebec Order of Geologist, is an Independent Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 that supervised the preparation of the information in this news release.
Patrick Levasseur, President and COO of Uragold stated that: "This acquisition will change the whole dynamics of the Beauce Paleoplacer Gold project. It could significantly increase the size and scope of our project." Mr. Levasseur went on to add: "We are extremely pleased to have a highly experienced exploration company such as Fancamp as a large shareholder of Uragold."
