FJORDLAND AND SUMAC DRILL 153 METRES GRADING 0.20% COPPER AND 0.09 G/T GOLD ON DILLARD PROPERTY, SOUTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA

Fjordland Exploration Inc. has released results from its recently completed exploration 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 the company's website. The 2014 work programs on Dillard were part of a staged, systematic exploration program, budgeted at approximately $900,000, under an 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).

Exploration consisted of preliminary soil sampling in the Dillard East target followed up with 2,070 metres of surface trenching in 10 locations. A diamond drill program, designed to test geochemical and geophysical targets, as well as possible depth extensions of historically reported copper-gold mineralization, consisted of 5,574 metres drilling in 14 holes. Both the Dillard East and Dillard West targets were tested.

The Dillard West target, measuring approximately 1,400 metres by 1,200 metres, includes coincident induced polarization (IP) chargeability as well as copper and gold soil anomalies. Numerous historic drill holes in Dillard West bottomed in mineralization during Placer Dome's 1991 drilling program with a reported intersection of 207 metres grading 0.25 per cent copper. The 2013 drill program (four holes totalling 1,588 metres) completed by Fjordland intersected copper-gold mineralization, including 153 metres grading 0.2 per cent copper and 0.09 gram per tonne gold. Seven diamond drill holes totalling 3,160 metres were drilled in the Dillard West target area in 2014.

The Dillard East target, measuring approximately 2,000 metres by 1,500 metres, is located approximately 3.5 kilometres east of the Dillard West target. Previous exploration delineated coincident IP chargeability and copper-in-soil geochemical anomalies. Follow-up surface rock sampling in the area yielded assays up to 1.6 per cent copper. The 2014 soil sampling program delineated a prospective strong copper-in-soil anomaly extending 1,700 metres by 350 metres. Mechanized surface trenching was completed in 10 trenches over the soil anomaly intersecting Nicola volcanics and diorites. Intersections highly anomalous in copper were discovered, including 27 metres grading 0.13 per cent copper within 60 metres of 0.1 per cent copper in trench TR14-06. Seven diamond drill holes totalling 2,414 metres were drilled in the Dillard East target area.

A management committee meeting composed of representatives from both Fjordland and Sumac is scheduled to review the data from the entire program, and results will be reported on in early 2015. A summary of notable drill intersections from the 2014 drilling program is shown in the attached table.
