FEX Fjordland Exploration Inc

Fjordland Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FEX) is pleased to report that Sumac
Mines Ltd., a subsidiary of Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. Ltd. of Japan, has
approved a 2014 budget and work program, estimated at approximately $950,000,
for the Dillard porphyry copper-gold project located between Merritt and
Princeton in southern BC. The programs, which are a follow up to last year's
approximately $800,000 work programs, will include approximately 2,500 metres
(m) of diamond drilling, approximately 2,000 m of trenching and geological
mapping and prospecting over the entire property. Fjordland will be the operator
of the project. 


At Dillard West, drilling will test for additional mineralization, including
possible depth extensions of mineralization in holes that bottomed in
mineralization during Placer Dome's 1991 historic diamond drilling program (2030
m in 11 holes) on the Dill (Primer South) property. Drilling in 1991 intersected
207 m grading 0.25% Cu. A limited 2013 diamond drilling program by Fjordland,
consisting of 1,558 m in four deep holes, included an assay interval of 403 m
grading 0.136% Cu and 71.6 ppb Au, including 158.5 m grading 0.201% Cu and 93.7
ppb Au. Numerous other intersections of copper and gold mineralization were
reported in a news release dated October 24, 2013. Much more drilling is
required to establish the size, geometry and tenor of the copper and gold
mineralization. The Dillard West target, measuring approximately 1,400 m by
1,200 m, includes coincident induced polarization (IP) chargeability and copper
and gold in soils anomalies. Chalcopyrite, pyrite and minor bornite
mineralization occurs within altered Nicola Group andesitic rocks and coeval
intrusive dioritic rocks.


At Dillard East, two reconnaissance diamond drill holes completed in 2013 by
Fjordland tested an IP chargeability and metal factor anomaly. The area tested
was only a small portion of the 2,000 m by 1,500 m target; several other areas
with coincident copper and gold soil anomalies remain to be tested, including an
area where a grab sample assaying 1.64% copper was obtained in 2011.


Tom Schroeter, President & CEO of Fjordland states: "We look forward to an
expanded drilling program on the Dillard West target this season, as well as a
trenching program on the Dillard East target, to guide additional drilling. We
plan to start work in June."
