VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Dec 5, 2013) - Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FNC) ("Fancamp" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its 46.7% owned Magpie Mines Inc., has signed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with the Pangang Group Limited of Panzhihua, Sichuan Province, China ("Pangang"), following a recent Magpie delegation visit to Pangang.

The delegation met senior officials of Pangang and discussions between both parties included the possibilities of technology exchanges with respect to Pangang's smelting and beneficiation processes and their possible applications for the Magpie Titanium-Vanadium-Chromium magnetite mineralization ("Magpie"), as well as the Hydrochloric Acid ("HCL") leaching technologies -adopted by both companies.

The agreement ensures the exchange of information on these topics and outlines Pangang's commitment to use its proprietary technologies and experience for the development of the Magpie mineralization. Magpie will provide Pangang with samples for further test work, a process that should take 6 to 8 months.

Dr. Fouad Kamaleddine, PhD, P. Eng., Fancamp's VP of Research and Development stated, "We are very pleased to announce the signing of this MOU with Pangang, which could have significant benefits for both parties. Magpie will benefit from Pangang's experience in mining and processing of complex vanadium-titanium-magnetite ores like Magpie, as well their R&D expertise in the production of titanium, vanadium and chrome products and alloys. Pangang, on the other hand, appreciates the size of the Magpie mineralization, as well as its grade compared to their local deposits. The MOU still represents an early stage of discussions between the parties, but is considered a significant step towards fostering a strong relationship between the two companies."

Magpie is located along the Lower North Shore of Quebec, some 200 km northeast of Sept-Îles and 150 km northwest of Havre-St-Pierre.
