Interview with Rajesh Sharma, President & CEO of Fancamp Exloration Ltd.

Recording date: 8th January 2025

Fancamp Exploration, a Canadian mineral exploration company, stands out in the junior mining sector with its robust financial position and diverse asset portfolio. The company currently maintains over $20 million in cash and marketable securities against a market capitalization of $17-18 million, effectively trading at a discount to its liquid assets.

A cornerstone of Fancamp's portfolio is its 2.7 million share position in Champion Iron, valued at $15-17 million. The company has also secured a strategic position in the Ring of Fire region through a convertible debt instrument with KWG Resources, which earns 6% interest and can convert into a 10% equity stake, along with a 2% NSR royalty.

In the critical metals space, Fancamp holds a 96% stake in The Magpie Mines Inc., which hosts what the U.S. Geological Survey recognizes as one of the world's largest undeveloped hard rock titanium deposits. This position aligns well with growing demand for titanium in aerospace, defense, and electronics applications.

The company's recent focus has turned to copper-gold exploration in New Brunswick, where it has established a joint venture with Lode Gold Resources. This project is strategically located near Puma Exploration's property, where Kinross Gold has committed to invest $15-20 million in exploration. Fancamp has already raised $4 million in early 2024 to advance this initiative.

Under CEO Rajesh Sharma's leadership, Fancamp has adopted a long-term value creation strategy, differentiating itself from peers who focus on short-term market movements. The management team and directors demonstrate their commitment through significant insider ownership, holding 24% of the company's shares.

Fancamp's business model combines direct project ownership with equity investments and royalty interests, creating multiple potential value drivers. The company has structured its portfolio to maintain exposure to both precious and critical metals, positioning itself to benefit from growing demand in these sectors.

With its strong balance sheet, diverse asset base, and experienced management team, Fancamp offers investors exposure to both established mining operations through its investments and exploration upside through its project portfolio. The company's focus on methodical development and strategic partnerships suggests a measured approach to creating shareholder value in the junior mining sector.
