FEX Fjordland Exploration Inc

Fjordland Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FEX) reports that it has commenced a 3-hole, 900-m reconnaissance diamond drilling program on its road-accessible Moffat copper-gold-molybdenum property, one of nine properties comprising its Tak-Milligan Project in central British Columbia. The Property lies immediately south of the Woodjam North and South copper-gold-molybdenum projects where Gold Fields is currently conducting a multi-million dollar exploration program, including approximately 30,000 m of drilling. Also, Newmont Mining Corp. has just completed a diamond drilling program on the Rodeo Property, located approximately 18 km to the east. Capstone Mining Corp. (TSX:CS), which vested into an initial 49% interest in the Project this summer, is committed to providing up to $300,000 for this phase of work to the end of December, 2011.

Much of the Quesnel trough region, hosting the Tak properties, is covered by extensive overburden, which has hampered traditional, historical exploration. The discovery of significant copper-gold-molybdenum mineralization, associated with the Takomkane batholith, at Woodjam South and on the Moffat Lake property suggests important exploration potential over a very large unexplored area.

At Moffat (24,974 ha), the western part of the property is underlain by airborne and ground magnetic anomalies. Late in 2010, chalcopyrite and molybdenite bedrock mineralization was discovered in two areas (see News Release dated December 7, 2010). The best grab sample assay returned 0.36% copper, 0.29 g/t gold, 6.9 g/t silver and 11 ppm molybdenum.

During 2011, Fjordland completed a program of reconnaissance-scale induced polarization (IP) surveying totaling 18 line-km over this area. Results indicate a 3.5-km long by 900-m wide northwesterly-trending IP high chargeability anomaly. Soil sampling in 2011 has outlined several copper +/- gold +/- molybdenum anomalies, coincident with the IP anomalies and adjacent to them. This target area is just west of two mineralized outcrops, 620 m apart, and approximately 1000 m north of the Harrison Creek copper-gold-molybdenum Minfile prospect.

Tom Schroeter, President of Fjordland commented: "We are very pleased to initiate drilling in this rapidly developing new porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum district in central BC. We look forward to mounting a much larger exploration program on the Tak-Milligan Project in 2012."

Update on Drilling at Red Lobster SEDEX Zinc-Lead-Silver Property, SEBC

Further to its October 19, 2011 announcement, Fjordland has recently completed a 4-hole, 900-m diamond drilling program on its Red Lobster Property, located approximately 25 km west of the historic Sullivan mine in southeastern British Columbia. Further drilling is expected on the Property; exploration is targeting sedimentary exhalative zinc-lead-silver deposits.

Update on the Spin-Out of Consolidated Woodjam Copper Corp.

Further to its October 5, 2011 announcement, Fjordland is awaiting TSX Venture Exchange approval on the spin-out and listing of Consolidated Woodjam Copper Corp. The Company anticipates receiving final approval very shortly.
