Cariboo Rose Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: CRB)
and Fjordland Exploration Inc., the Woodjam
Joint Venture ("WJV") 40%/60% partners, are pleased to report that
Gold Fields Horsefly Exploration Corporation,
a member of the Gold Fields Limited group of companies, has
forwarded additional drilling results from the drilling program on
the Woodjam North gold-copper property, located 45 km east of
Williams Lake in central British Columbia.
The winter program started in early February 2010 at the Takom
Zone, where seven holes totaling 2,330.5 m were completed;
encouraging results from this program were reported in a news
release dated April 21, 2010. The drilling has since progressed to
the Deerhorn Zone where 9 new holes totaling 2,723.4 m were
completed. Drilling is currently in progress on the Spellbound
area, located approximately 1,500 m to the southeast of the
Deerhorn Zone. Four to five drill holes are planned to test this
area, where there has been no previous drilling.
Deerhorn Zone
In 2008, the WJV discovered significant gold-copper
mineralization in the drilling of the first two holes completed in
the geophysical anomaly. Follow-up drilling, consisting of three
holes totaling 993.6 m in 2009 by Gold Fields, provided additional
encouragement, including an assay interval of 89.5 m grading
1.16g/t Au and 0.26% Cu in drill hole DH09-03. Assay results for
the 9 new holes completed in 2010 are reported in the table
below:

* Intervals are core lengths; Au Equivalent in g/t calculated
using US$950/oz gold, US$2.50/lb copper and the formula: ((%Cu x 22
x Price Cu/lb) + (g/t Au x 0.029166 x Price Au/oz))/(Price Gold/oz
x 0.029166). Metallurgical recoveries and net smelter returns are
not considered.
The highlight drill intersection (DH10-09) was a 90.8 m section
grading 0.58g/t Au and 0.39% Cu, including a higher-grade intercept
of 30.4 m grading 1.10g/t Au and 0.72% Cu. Hole DH10-05 was lost at
194.0 m, while still in mineralization. Holes DH10-07 and DH10-12
did not intersect significant mineralization.
The best gold and copper-bearing zones are intimately associated
with a monzonite porphyry intrusion and to a lesser extent with its
volcaniclastic equivalents. Mineralization is associated with
disseminated, and fracture-controlled chalcopyrite and minor
bornite, which may also occur in a sheeted vein quartz stockwork
within the monzonite. The ratio of hematite to magnetite varies
across the mineralized zones, which may vector into additional
target areas not associated with magnetic highs. Potassic and
silica alterations are intense and zones of tourmaline alteration
and brecciation have been noted. To date, gold-copper
mineralization has been traced over a strike length of
approximately 700 m in an upper zone. A lower zone is also
recognized, which has an undefined geometry.
The management of Cariboo Rose and Fjordland are encouraged by
these recent results, as drilling continues to demonstrate high
potential in what is now clearly a large cluster of mineralized
intrusions throughout an area of at least 20 square km, covering
only a small portion of the property explored to date. Tom
Schroeter, President of Fjordland, commented: "The significant
interval of gold and copper mineralization encountered in drill
hole DH10-09 is very encouraging. We look forward to further
drilling results from Gold Fields in this zone."
Gold Fields has an option to earn up to a 70% interest in the
Woodjam North Property by spending $19 million in exploration over
7 years (see July 30, 2009 News Release for details). Gold Fields
budgeted approximately $3 million for the first-year work program,
including drill testing, IP geophysical surveying, soil geochemical
and high resolution airborne geophysical surveying on the
40,750-hectare property.
Fjordland, Cariboo Rose and Gold Fields are also working towards
completion of the Woodjam South Agreement (see January 15, 2010
News Release for details) and commencement of an extensive
exploration program on this significant copper-gold-molybdenum
property. The best assay result from previous drilling on the
Southeast Zone is 200.76 m grading 1.01% Cu and 0.44 g/t Au.
G. L. Garratt, P.Geo., who is a qualified person within the
context of National Instrument 43-101, has read and takes
responsibility for this news release. Gold Fields, as operator of
the exploration program, has quality assurance and quality control
procedures in place.
