NEWS RELEASE
Drilling at Woodjam South (Southeast Zone) Yields 264 m Grading 0.41% Copper, 0.12 g/t Gold and 0.01% Molybdenum
Vancouver, BC, July 5, 2011 - Fjordland Exploration Inc.

(TSX-V: FEX) and Cariboo Rose Resources Ltd.

(TSX-V: CRB), 60%-40% partners in the Woodjam Joint Venture ("WJV"), report that Gold Fields Limiteds (NYSE: GFI) exploration company, Gold Fields Horsefly Exploration Corporation ("Gold Fields"), has forwarded drill results from six new holes (2,434 m) of the 2011 infill and expansion diamond drilling program, testing a previously defined core area of mineralization measuring 800 m by 630 m on the Southeast Zone of the Woodjam South copper-gold-molybdenum property.

The Property is located 45 km east of Williams Lake in south-central British Columbia.
To date, 22 holes totaling more than 9,000 metres (m) have been completed in the 2011 program; further results will be reported in batches when received. A drill location map may be viewed at www.fjordlandex.com/news/nr11-14b.pdf.

Metallurgical recoveries and net smelter returns are not considered.
Hole SE11-27 was collared between holes WJ08-83, WJ08-84 and SE11-26 in an area of an interpreted high-grade core of mineralization. Copper-gold-molybdenum mineralization was intersected from the top of the bedrock to the end of the hole at 401.1 m.

A 25.8-m non-mineralized plagioclase porphyry dyke occurs between 276.5 and 302.3 m.

Hole WJ08-84, located 60 m to the southwest of SE11-27 assayed 0.69% Cu, 0.26 g/t Au and 0.006% Mo, including 1.01% Cu, 0.44 g/t Au and 0.002% Mo over 200.8 m.
Hole SE11-28 was collared between holes WJ08-86 and SE10-01, south of a trend of higher grade mineralization previously defined by drilling, and encountered copper-molybdenum mineralization from the top of the bedrock to the end of the hole at 478.5 m.


Hole SE11-29 was collared between WJ08-83 and WJ08-96 confirming an area of higher grade core of mineralization.

Copper-gold-molybdenum mineralization was intersected from the top of the bedrock to the bottom of the hole at 404.2 m.

A 9.9-m plagioclase porphyry dyke occurs between 290.5 and 300.5 m.
Hole SE11-31 was collared approximately 70 m northeast of hole WJ08-83, along strike to the northeast of the higher-grade core zone. Copper-gold-molybdenum mineralization was intersected from the bedrock to the end of the hole at 416.4 m.
Hole SE11-32 was collared approximately 60 m to the northeast of SE11-23, immediately west of an area of interpreted higher grade mineralization. Copper-molybdenum mineralization was intersected from the bedrock to the end of the hole at 440.7 m.

A 19.7-m basalt dyke occurs between 392.4 and 412 m.
Hole SE11-33 was collared approximately 140 m northeast of SE10-14, along the interpreted northern portion of the higher-grade core area. Copper-molybdenum mineralization was intersected from the bedrock to the end of the hole at 293.2 m.

The hole was lost in bad ground, between 100 and 150 m above the target depth.
Assay results for holes SE11-23, SE11-25 and SE11-30 have not yet been approved under the projects strict quality control/quality assurance procedures.


All 49 drill holes reported on the Southeast Zone to date are mineralized from the overburden/bedrock interface to the bottoms of the holes.

The current drilling program is testing mineralization to depths of about 400 m; however, the deepest hole to date (WJ08-82) is just over 700 m and ended in mineralization.

One drill has moved to begin infill and expansion drilling on the northern portion of the core area; the second drill will move to the north after completing a further six holes on the southern portion. Fjordland President Tom Schroeter says: "Assay results from this batch of holes are very encouraging and appear to have expanded the core area of copper and gold mineralization, flanked by copper-molybdenum mineralization in the southern portion.

We look forward to testing the northern portion." Core samples were analyzed by ALS Laboratory Group, a certified facility in North Vancouver, BC.
