Fjordland and Sumac Announce 2013 Work Programs for Dillard Copper-Gold Property, Southern British Columbia

Fjordland Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FEX) is pleased to announce the 2013
work and budget programs, estimated at $800,000, for the Dillard porphyry
copper-gold project located between Merritt and Princeton in southern BC. The
programs will be staged, commencing with 37.3 line kilometres of ground induced
polarization and magnetic surveys during June, 280 line-kilometres of
high-resolution aeromagnetic and radiometric surveys in early July, followed by
approximately 2,000 metres of diamond drilling in August. Drilling will test for
additional mineralization, including possible depth extensions of mineralization
in holes that bottomed in mineralization during Placer Dome's 1991 historic
drilling program on the Dill (Primer South) property, as well as first-time
testing of recently discovered copper mineralization at the Dillard East
property. Fjordland is the operator of the programs.


Tom Schroeter, President and CEO of Fjordland states: "We are excited about this
year's program - the first significant systematic exploration program on the
combined properties since 1991. The area between Aspen Grove and Princeton is
heating up, with several companies having announced drilling programs planned
this season."
