ScoZinc Receives Court Approval for Arrangement with Fancamp

Halifax, Nova Scotia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 20, 2021) - ScoZinc Mining Ltd. (TSXV: SZM) ("ScoZinc" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the British Columbia Supreme Court has granted a final order approving the plan of arrangement between ScoZinc and Fancamp Exploration Ltd. ("Fancamp") required to implement the business combination (the "Transaction").

ScoZinc's President and CEO, Mr. Mark Haywood, commented: "Last week, ScoZinc received overwhelming securityholder support at its Extraordinary General Meeting for the business combination with Fancamp, and with yesterday's receipt of the final order from the BC Supreme Court, ScoZinc is now ready to close the transaction and has communicated this to Fancamp."

Closing of the Transaction by Fancamp is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") which Fancamp advises that it anticipates obtaining shortly but which has not yet been received. Fancamp has additionally advised that a dissident shareholder of Fancamp, Mr. Peter H. Smith, has also made an application to the British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC") to stay or overturn any decision by the TSXV approving the Transaction, and to require that Fancamp obtain shareholder approval for the Transaction. Fancamp has undertaken to the BCSC not to close the Transaction until after April 28, 2021 pending hearing of the application.

ScoZinc anticipates that Fancamp will be successful in proceedings before the BCSC and expects the Transaction to close shortly thereafter in accordance with the terms of the February 12, 2021 arrangement agreement between ScoZinc and Fancamp. Accordingly, ScoZinc looks forward to closing the Transaction shortly after April 28, 2021.

ScoZinc has received conditional approval from the TSXV for the Transaction, but remains subject to the final approval of the TSXV.

ScoZinc will issue a further news release when a new closing date for the Transaction has been scheduled.
