Fjordland Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FEX) is pleased to announce results from
its recently completed 6-hole, 2,600 metres (m) diamond drilling program on its
2,592-hectare Dillard porphyry copper-gold project, located between Merritt and
Princeton in southern British Columbia. A drill location map may be viewed at
http://www.fjordlandex.com/news/nr13-08b.pdf. The 2013 work programs on Dillard
were part of a staged, systematic exploration program, budgeted at approximately
$800,000, under a recent option agreement with Sumac Mines Ltd., a subsidiary of
Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. Ltd. (see news releases dated April 4, 2013 and May
28, 2013).


Phase One drilling, completed in 2013, was designed to test geophysical targets
as well as possible depth extensions of historically reported copper-gold
mineralization. Numerous historic drill holes bottomed in mineralization during
Placer Dome's 1991 drilling program in the Dillard West area (then Primer South
property), where drilling intersected 207 m grading 0.25% copper. Drilling also
tested previously untested, recently discovered high-grade copper and gold
mineralization at the Dillard East property, where surface rock sampling yielded
assays up to 1.6% copper.


The Dillard West target, measuring approximately 1,400 m by 1,200 m, includes
coincident induced polarization (IP) chargeability and copper and gold soil
anomalies, and is open to the north and west. Four holes totaling 1,588 m were
completed; three angled drill holes drilled along a north-south section (Line
500E), and a fourth vertical hole drilled approximately 400 m to the west. The
southern-most hole (DI-13-03) on Line 500E intersected 201 m grading 0.11% Cu
and 55 ppb Au, including two separate intervals of 17.5 m grading 0.29% Cu and
143 ppb Au, and 21 m grading 0.20% Cu and 87 ppb Au, hosted by Nicola Group
andesitic rocks. Hole DI-13-04, located 275 m to the north, intersected a
sequence of alternating andesitic and dioritic rocks hosting copper and gold
mineralization. The entire hole (403 m) yielded 0.14% Cu and 72 ppb Au and
included intervals of 293.5 m grading 0.16% Cu and 78 ppb Au, and 158 m grading
0.20% Cu and 94 ppb Au. Hole DI-13-05, situated 600 m north of hole DI-13-04,
intersected predominantly andesitic volcanic rocks and yielded 377.1 m grading
0.11% Cu and 41 ppb Au, including 63 m grading 0.16% Cu and 45 ppb Au and 51 m
grading 0.18% Cu and 64 ppb Au. Hole DI-13-06 was a short hole, hosted by
alternating andesitic and dioritic rocks and yielded 106.5 m grading 0.11% Cu
and 49 ppb Au.


The Dillard East target, measuring approximately 2,000 m by 1,500 m, is located
approximately 3.5 kilometres east of the Dillard West target and is open in all
directions. Two drill holes totaling 1,012 m, situated approximately 1,250 m
apart, targeted an IP chargeability anomaly delineated earlier in the season.
Anomalous copper +/- molybdenum +/- gold amounts were obtained, with local 3-m
intersections grading up to 0.14% Cu, 410 ppb Au and 55.5 ppm Mo. Drill holes
DI-13-01 and DI-13-02 intersected a major fault system containing intensely
pyritized Nicola Group andesitic volcanic rocks, with local zones of high silica
flooding.
