News ReleaseHi everyone, Fjordland Exploration Inc.-New Discovery: The Woodjam Joint Venture Drills 106.2 Metres of 0.26% Copper 10/4/2007 VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Oct 4, 2007 (Marketwire via COMTEX News Network) -- Fjordland Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FEX) and Cariboo Rose Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CRB) are pleased to announce the discovery of a new porphyry copper-molybdenum system at the Woodjam Property. The Woodjam property is located in south-central British Columbia, five kilometres south of Imperial Metals Corp.'s Mount Polley mine property. Drill testing was initiated in July (See news release of July 19th, 2007) to investigate the Southeast Zone and is currently on the sixth hole of an expanded 3,000 metre ten hole drill program. The first two holes, drilled in the Southeast Zone, have resulted in a significant discovery. Both holes terminated in mineralization at the limit of the drill. Additional sites have been prepared for further drilling. - Hole 07-72 encountered potassium feldspar-altered quartz monzonite bedrock at 32.6 metres and then cored 309.3 metres grading 0.11% copper with 14 ppm (parts per million) molybdenum to the bottom of the hole at 325.2 metres. - Hole 07-73 located approximately 550 metres to northeast of hole 07-72, encountered similar bedrock under overburden which persisted to 82.6 metres and then cored 242.6 metres grading 0.18% copper and 64 ppm molybdenum to the bottom of the hole at 325.2 metres. Included in this intersection are 106.2 metres (219.0-325.2 metres) grading 0.26% copper and 63 ppm molybdenum and 66.0 metres grading 0.27% copper and 150 ppm molybdenum (0.015% Mo) (249.0 to 315.0 metres). Individual 3 metre samples in hole 07-73 assayed as high as 0.44% copper and 622 ppm molybdenum (0.06% Mo). This new discovery was targeted as a result of a large reconnaissance induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey completed earlier this year to explore for new sulphide centres and obtain more resolution on the Megabuck and Takom zones. These two zones are areas of known mineralization on the Woodjam property. The survey subsequently uncovered a new zone 3 kilometres east of the Takom area, now called the Southeast Zone, and suggests that a large intrusive/hydrothermal complex measuring approximately five kilometres by six kilometres underlies the almost 30,000 hectare Woodjam property, with at least three large IP chargeability anomalies. The IP survey and the location of this year's holes are shown on the map on each companies' website. Fjordland Exploration optioned the Woodjam property from Cariboo Rose Resources (then Wildrose Resources Ltd.) in 2002 and earned a 60% interest in 2006 having completed $1,500,000 in exploration. The Woodjam Joint Venture was at that point initiated with Fjordland owning a 60% interest and Cariboo Rose the remaining 40%. Work initially focused on the Megabuck Zone where a gold rich style of mineralization has been evaluated with 67 diamond drill holes (45 since 2003). At the Megabuck Zone, porphyry-style copper style mineralization has statistically shown that mineralization grading 0.12% copper will also grade 1.00g/t gold. Approximately 16,000 metres of drilling has been completed since 2001, most of which has been in the Megabuck zone. Exploration has demonstrated that the property is prospective for bulk-tonnage gold-copper deposits similar to other porphyry deposits in B.C.'s prolific Quesnel Terrane. Drilling in 2004 included a hole that intersected 378 metres grading 0.81g/t gold and 0.12% copper and another that intersected 397 metres grading 0.82g/t gold and 0.12% copper. Drilling in 2006 included a hole with 94 metres grading 0.95g/t gold and 0.19% copper and another hole with 92 metres grading 1.0g/t gold and 0.22% copper. In 2005 the sphere of exploration interest at the Woodjam property was expanded to include the Takom Zone located 1.5 kilometers to the south where records indicate that a drill hole completed in 1974 returned and intercept of 10.6 metres grading 1.27g/t gold and 0.13% copper. Highlights of the 2005 program in this area included hole 05-48 with 0.12g/t gold and 0.12% copper over 82.6 metres. A single hole was drilled here in 2006 with 0.16g/t gold and 0.18% copper over 31.0 metres. It was then decided to complete an extensive induced polarization survey to provide insight into the overall size of the hydrothermal system in the area shown on the attached map. The current drill program has been designed to test the broader concepts that have evolved from the 2002 and 2007 geophysical surveys and the Joint Venture has decided to expand the geophysical survey with resumption slated for mid-October. The 2007 drilling program and sampling protocol are being supervised by Bruce Laird of Mincord Exploration Consultants Ltd. Analysis was preformed by Acme Analytical Laboratories, a certified facility located in Vancouver, using multielement (I.C.P. / E.S.) procedures with gold determined using a separate geochemical I.C.P. assay procedure. External standards were inserted into the sample sequence on a ratio of approximately one standard per twenty-five samples. T.G.
