NEWS RELEASE NR#14-13
Fjordland and Sumac Drill 153 Metres Grading 0.20% Copper and 0.09 g/t
Gold on Dillard Property, Southern British Columbia
Vancouver, BC, November 12, 2014 � Fjordland Exploration Inc. (TSXV: FEX) is pleased to
announce 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 http://www.fjordlandex.com/news/nr14-13b.pdf. The 2014 work
programs on Dillard was 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 Dillard East and West targets
were tested.
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. 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% copper. The 2013 drill program (4 holes totalling 1,588
metres) completed by Fjordland intersected copper-gold mineralization including 153 metres grading
0.20% copper and 0.09 g/t gold. Seven diamond drill holes totaling 3,160 metres were drilled in the
Dillard West target area in 2014.
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. 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% copper. The 2014 soil sampling program delineated a prospective
strong copper-in-soil anomaly extending 1,700 x 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% copper
within 60 metres of 0.10% copper in trench TR14-06. Seven diamond drill holes totaling 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 follows:
