Hole SE10-01 assayed 0.3 per cent copper, 0.07 gram per tonne gold and 0.006 per cent molybdenum over 400.9 metres. It was collared 200 m south-southwest of hole WJ08-84 which assayed 359.1 m grading 0.69 per cent Cu, 0.27 g/t Au and 0.006 per cent Mo, including 200.8 m grading 1.01 per cent Cu, 0.44 g/t Au and 0.002 per cent Mo.

Two holes (SE10-03 and SE10-05) were lost prematurely due to drilling difficulties. Hole SE10-06 was weakly mineralized with a few narrow intersections grading over 0.13 per cent copper.

Hole SE10-07 was highlighted by a 234.6 m interval grading 0.24 per cent Cu, including 83.6 m grading 0.38 per cent Cu and 0.001 per cent Mo. The hole was terminated in well-mineralized rock and the last 51.6 m averaged 0.45 per cent Cu, 0.05 g/t Au and 0.002 per cent Mo.

The focus of this year’s drilling on the Southeast zone was to expand the limits of the mineralized zone, as suggested by a two km by one km induced polarization anomaly. Wide-spaced drilling of the seven holes reported has now extended the area of mineralization to 1,500 m by 600 m. The new holes include SE10-04 and SE10-07, a 400 m step-out to the south and 280 m step-out to the north from previous drilling, respectively. As with the previous drilling of 18 holes during 2007 to 2008, all holes continue to be mineralized from the overburden/bedrock interface to the bottom of the holes, except for two occurrences of host rock displacement by narrow, younger basalt dikes.

Vein, fracture and disseminated porphyry-style mineralization in the Southeast zone, consisting of chalcopyrite, pyrite, molybdenite and trace bornite associated with potassic and phyllic alteration zones, is hosted by the Takomkane quartz monzonite intrusion and related aplite dikes.

Drilling is continuing as part of a planned 5,000 m drilling program. In addition, a planned 75 line km induced polarization geophysical surveying is in progress over the broad, unexplored area lying to the southwest of the Southeast zone. A drill location map may be viewed on-line.

Fjordland president Tom Schroeter said: “The ongoing intersection of continuous copper-gold-molybdenum mineralization in the Southeast zone has significantly increased the size potential of the system. We look forward to building on this size, which remains open laterally in all directions and at depth, as well as determining the grade potential.”

Core samples were analyzed by ALS Chemex Laboratories, a certified facility in Vancouver, B.C. Mr. Schroeter, PEng/PGeo, who is a qualified person within the context of National Instrument 43-101, has read and takes responsibility for this news release.

Woodjam North update

Phase two drilling is under way at the adjoining Woodjam North gold-copper property where approximately 5,000 metres of drilling are planned. Work at Woodjam North also includes a 26 line km induced polarization survey to identify further exploration targets.

Located in south-central British Columbia, 45 kilometres east of the city of Williams Lake, the 13,827-hectare Woodjam South property contains the Southeast zone copper-gold-molybdenum mineralization discovered by the WJV in 2007. To date the WJV has completed 18 diamond drill holes totalling 7,700 metres in the Southeast zone, all of which are mineralized from the overburden/bedrock interface to the bottom of the holes. One of these holes (WJ08-84) averaged 0.69 per cent Cu, 0.27 gram per tonne Au and 0.006 per cent Mo over 359.1 metres, including 1.01 per cent Cu and 0.44 g/t Au over 200.8 m. Less than one-quarter of the two km by one km wide induced polarization anomaly has been tested. In addition, an airborne magnetometer survey completed in 2009 identified several additional targets on the Woodjam South property; these will be followed up.

The planned drilling in the immediate area of the previous drilling will test for lateral and depth extensions of the copper-gold-molybdenum mineralization of the Southeast zone. Elsewhere on the Woodjam South property, a program of induced polarization and ground magnetic surveying will be completed over prospective target areas, identified as a result of the 2009 airborne magnetometer survey over the property.

Fjordland president Tom Schroeter said: “After a year hiatus from drilling on the significant Southeast zone discovery, due to depressed economic and market conditions during 2008 to 2009, we are very pleased to have a company with Gold Fields’ credentials mount the beginning of a major exploration drilling program to define a resource for the zone, as well as testing the rest of the property which hosts several airborne magnetic anomalies. We believe that the size of the mineralized body will increase significantly as a result of this year’s drilling.”

These four holes were drilled to test the possible geometry of the mineralized zone in the area around hole DH10-09, which assayed 90.8 metres grading 0.58 gram per tonne Au and 0.39 per cent Cu, including 30.4 m grading 1.01 g/t Au and 0.72 per cent Cu. All four holes intersected mineralization. DH10-14 yielded 115.9 m grading 0.287 g/t Au and 0.32 per cent Cu. This hole was lost in mineralization at 226 m. The last two m graded 0.6 g/t Au and 0.28 per cent Cu. Additional step-out holes are planned to further test the zone. A drill location map may be viewed at Fjordland’s website.

Spellbound area

Reconnaisance drilling of eight (of 11) holes (totalling 2,182 m) which reached their targets in the Spellbound area, targeting coincident copper and molybdenum soil anomalies, resulted in the discovery of gold-copper mineralization over a large area located to the east of the Deerhorn zone and to the north of the Southeast zone. Three assay intervals greater than 0.24 g/t gold equivalent are reported in the table.

The best results from Spellbound are from SB10-10, located in the southern part of the Woodjam North property, approximately 1.5 km north of the Southeast zone on the Woodjam South property. Intersections included 33.2 m grading 0.103 g/t Au and 0.148 per cent Cu as well as 15 m grading 1.014 g/t Au and 0.006 per cent Cu. These intersections occur within broader zones of mineralized Takomkane quartz monzonite containing fine disseminated chalcopyrite, rare molybdenite and bornite in quartz veinlets. The zone remains prospective with a strong affinity to the style of mineralization encountered in the Southeast zone. Additional induced polarization, ground magnetic and soil sampling surveys are in progress. Follow-up drilling is planned. A drill location map may be viewed at the Fjordland’s website.

Fjordland’s president, Tom Schroeter, said: “These new drill results from the Deerhorn zone and the discovery of mineralization in the Spellbound area on the Woodjam North property provide a great platform for follow-up drilling in our phase two drilling program (5,000 m planned) which has started on the Takom zone and will be followed by drilling on the Deerhorn zone, the Spellbound area and initial holes on the Corner Lake area north of the Deerhorn zone.”

Metallurgy

Confirmatory metallurgical testwork is continuing under the direction of Dr. Morris Beattie, PEng. Highlights of results to date are as follows:

A standard process of flotation followed by regrinding and carbon-in-leach processing of the concentrate achieves an overall recovery of 90%.

Preliminary grinding tests have confirmed that the gold mineralization exhibits low work indices. These data indicate the potential for lower power consumption during the milling process which could result in lower overall operating costs for processing.

Testwork on additional samples from holes drilled across the Main Zone of gold mineralization will continue in order to establish design criteria to a pre-feasibility level of study.

Drilling and other field activities

Drilling has commenced within the Main Zone of gold mineralization and will have the following three principal objectives:

Seven HQ diameter holes for a total of 2000 metres will be completed to gather geotechnical information to aid in the design of a potential open pit.

Four additional HQ diameter holes will be drilled and two of the geotechnical holes will also be used to gather samples for additional metallurgical tests. These holes will be distributed across the Main and North Zones to demonstrate consistency in the metallurgical behaviour of the gold mineralization.

Seven holes will be drilled in areas proximal to the Main Zone of gold mineralization to determine the potential for expansion of the Main Zone gold resource (see the news release of the Company dated March 18, 2009) and to test additional areas for gold mineralization.

Other fieldwork will focus on sampling for Acid Base Accounting purposes. Samples have been gathered from drill core and drill core sample rejects from holes previously drilled across the Main Zone and the surrounding areas. These samples have been submitted for analysis and the results will aid in the advancement of the design and management of potential tailings and waste rock storage facilities.

Preliminary assay results from the twenty three large diameter HQ drill holes completed in 2009 have been received and the data are currently being reviewed to ensure QA/QC compliance. Final assays are expected during July 2010.

Cedar Creek Property Acquisition

With respect to the recently acquired Cedar Mountain property, the Company has identified several areas with potential to host gold mineralization interpreted from previous soil geochemical surveys and 2006 airborne geophysical data. These target areas will be further refined by infill soil geochemical surveys in preparation for more advanced exploration work.

Preliminary Economic Assessment

The Company has commissioned a Preliminary Economic Assessment (”PEA”) for the Spanish Mountain project and has engaged PEG Mining Consultants of Barrie, Ontario to complete this study. The study will establish realistic assumptions of operating and capital costs to develop a potential mine at the Spanish Mountain project. The results of this assessment are expected during the fourth quarter of 2010. Ron Halas, who has been recently appointed Chief Operating Officer of the Company, will be leading the initiatives to move the Spanish Mountain project forward through the PEA and ultimately towards development and production.

The scientific and technical information contained in this news release is based upon information prepared by or under the supervision of Stuart Morris, the Company’s VP, Development Geology, a qualified person (as defined in NI 43-101).

The Cedar Creek Property (the “Property”), which occupies an area of approximately 14 square kilometers (or 5 square miles), is contiguous to the western boundary of the Company’s flagship Spanish Mountain Gold Project near Likely, British Columbia. The location of both properties occupying a combined area of over 51 square kilometers (or 20 square miles) is shown in the maps (Fig. 1 & Fig. 2) attached to this news release.

Details of the Transaction are as follows:

• The Company may acquire a 100% undivided interest in the Property by making a cash payment to Cedar Mountain of CAN$500,000.
• The 100% undivided interest in the Property is subject to an underlying net smelter return (”NSR”) royalty of 2.5% in favour of a third party. The royalty may be purchased by the Company through the payment to the holder of the royalty CAN$500,000 per 1% NSR.

The maps attached to this release also display areas of the Property that are considered to be prospective for gold mineralization.

Brian Groves, President and CEO of the Company commented: “Our primary focus is the advancement of our Spanish Mountain Gold Project. We have identified areas on the Cedar Creek Property and close to the common property line which we believe have the potential to host gold mineralization. We will work quickly to better define these areas as targets for drilling.”

Located in south-central British Columbia, 45 km east of the city of Williams Lake, the Woodjam South property includes the Southeast copper-gold-molybdenum zone, discovered by the WJV in 2008 and claims to the south and southwest (in total an area of 13,807 hectares), subsequently acquired by the WJV. To date, the WJV has completed 18 diamond drill holes totaling 7,700 m on the Southeast Zone, all of which are mineralized from the overburden/bedrock interface to the bottom of the holes. An exploration highlight is hole 08-84 that averaged 0.69% Cu, 0.27g/t Au and 0.006% Mo over 359.1 m, including 1.01% Cu and 0.44g/t Au over 200.8 m. Less than one-quarter of the 1.5 km by 1.0 km induced polarization anomaly has been tested. In addition, an airborne magnetometer survey completed by Gold Fields during 2009 identified several additional targets on the Woodjam South property which require follow up.

Gold Fields can earn an initial 51% interest in the Woodjam South property by spending US$7 million in exploration over a 3.5-year period, with a minimum expenditure of US$2 million in the first 18 months. In addition, Gold Fields will subscribe to a common share private placement of C$200,000 from Cariboo Rose and C$300,000 from Fjordland. The price per share will be 150% of the volume weighted average price as quoted on the TSX Venture Exchange for 10 trading days following the 20th day after the commencement date (completion of due diligence). During the initial option period, the WJV will be the operator of the project, while Gold Fields will provide technical direction.

Gold Fields can extend the option a further 19% for a total 70% interest in the Woodjam South property, by completing a comprehensive feasibility study of all known targets or deposits on the property. In addition, Gold Fields must spend a minimum of US$2 million on the property for each of the first 4 years of the second option period. The Agreement is subject to a due diligence period of up to 60 days by Gold Fields.

The WJV and Gold Fields are planning a large exploration program, including a minimum of 4,000 m of diamond drilling on the Southeast Zone. This is the beginning of a comprehensive and aggressive exploration campaign which could entail total exploration spending of approximately C$35 million over a 7.5-year period in the combined Woodjam project (South and North properties). In addition, the comprehensive feasibility study to be completed by Gold Fields to earn a 70% interest at Woodjam South, would add significantly to property expenditures. For Woodjam North, the agreement calls for optional expenditures totaling C$19 million over the 7-year term, including cash payments of C$350,000 to the WJV over the initial 3-year period of the option agreement (See CRB News Release, June 3, 2009 for details). For Woodjam South, Gold Fields would need to spend a minimum of US$15 million on the property over a 7.5-year term, subscribe to C$500,000 worth of shares in Fjordland and Cariboo Rose through a private placement, and take the project through completion of the feasibility stage.

The WJV is pleased to have Gold Fields as a partner in both the Woodjam North and Woodjam South properties, totaling 56,150 hectares. Fjordland President Tom Schroeter said, “The partnership with one of the world’s largest gold producers now allows for aggressive advancement of the entire Woodjam property, including the very exciting Southeast Zone copper-gold-molybdenum discovery, and pursuing new target development on other Woodjam anomalies. Including a feasibility study on the Woodjam South property is a significant component of this deal as the project will benefit from Gold Fields’ exploration and development expertise in gold-rich porphyry deposits. The WJV is well positioned for future discoveries in this area.”

Takom zone drilling

Drilling in the Takom zone area was directed at defining the geometry of the mineralized diorite intrusion intersected by previous drill holes, as well as step-out holes to explore for new mineralized areas. Assay results from previous drilling indicate a zone of high-gold-to-copper-ratio mineralization, similar to the Megabuck and Deerhorn zones to the north, that follows a northeasterly trending positive magnetic feature. Drill hole TK10-12 intersected 148.0 metres grading 0.40 gram per tonne Au and 0.26 per cent Cu (including 61.9 m grading 0.82 g/t Au and 0.41 per cent Cu). Drill holes TK10-13 through 16 were also drilled along this trend and all intersected copper-gold mineralization. Gold Fields anticipates further drilling in this area to vector the high-grade mineralization in the core of the target.

New Southeast zone-style discovery at Takom

Drill hole TK10-17 was drilled into a magnetic low area on the southeast portion of the Takom main magnetic zone and discovered a new area of mineralization associated with a quartz monzonite intrusion, similar to the Takomkane intrusive suite which hosts the Southeast zone. This is interpreted as a younger-aged mineralizating event than the Takom/Megabuck/Deerhorn and is similar in style to the Southeast zone two kilometres to the east on the Woodjam South property, where all 18 drill holes to date have intersected significant copper-gold-molybdenum mineralization. Hole TK10-17 returned 50 m grading 0.17 per cent Cu with anomalous molybdenum, similar to the first holes on the periphery of the Southeast zone, and opens up a large new target area for further drilling. This hole also lies near the western end of an east-west-trending gravity anomaly that encloses the Southeast zone.

New Takom area discovery

Drill hole TK10-18 stepped out 450 m southward from the Takom zone drilling and tested an area with epidote-tourmaline altered and hydrothermally brecciated volcanic rocks and a coincidental copper-in-soil anomaly. The hole was lost due to ground conditions at 194 m; however, 24.0 m grading 0.18 per cent Cu was intersected near the end of the hole. This represents a new area of mineralization where there has been no previous drilling, adding significantly to the potential of the area. This hole is near the northern boundary of the adjacent Woodjam South property.

Management of Fjordland and Cariboo Rose is very pleased with these recent results, as drilling continues to demonstrate high potential in what is now clearly a large cluster of mineralized intrusions throughout an area of at least 20 square kilometres, covering only a small portion of the property explored to date.

Gold Fields has an option to earn up to a 70-per-cent interest in the Woodjam North property by spending $19-million in exploration over the next seven years (see news July 30, 2009). Gold Fields budgeted approximately $3-million for the first-year work program including drill testing, IP geophysical surveying, soil geochemical and high-resolution airborne geophysical surveying on the 40,750-hectare property.

In addition, Cariboo Rose and Fjordland look forward to completing the Woodjam South agreement with Gold Fields (see news Jan 15, 2010) and commencing an extensive exploration program on this very significant copper-gold-molybdenum property. The best assay result from previous drilling on the Southeast zone is 200.76 metres grading 1.01 per cent Cu and 0.44 g/t Au.

The second hole of the program, 09-P-06, intersected the bedrock interface at a depth of 146 metres and encountered a sequence of volcanic tuff/siltstone, sandstone and volcanic agglomerate believed to be part of the Eocene-age Kamloops Group which extends to the end of the hole at 316 metres. Several intervals of black carbonaceous material were encountered in the drill core and were initially suspected to be coal. The core was subsequently examined by Moose Mountain Technical Services; an east Kootenay based geological consulting and engineering group with expertise in coal geology. Moose Mountain concluded that while narrow intervals within the broader carbonaceous intervals can be described as “coaly” the carbonaceous material does not have a rank to classify as coal. Further research completed by Astorius and Cariboo Rose discovered two references to previous coal discoveries in the Pat project area. One discovery is referenced in the 1904 Report to the Minister of Mines and the other in a 2006 assessment report filed with the BC government describing a drill intercept of coal, nine kilometres to the west of the Pat property. Astorius and Cariboo Rose subsequently applied for nine coal permits (5,425 hectares) of which acknowledgement of receipt by the government (for the referral process) for eight of these has now been received. Minor pyritic intervals encountered in hole 09-P-06 will be sampled in the near term and analyzed for precious metal.

The third hole of the program, 09-P-07 which was located a further 1,600 metres to the west, passed through 197 metres of overburden before intersecting the bedrock interface. Bedrock in hole 09-P-07 is a grey brown tuffaceous unit with minor pyrite and is quite distinct from bedrock encountered in hole 09-P-06 and may represent the Triassic-Jurassic rocks typical of the Quesnel Terrane. The hole was bottomed at 258 metres after becoming stuck. The core from this hole was sampled but did not return any significant results.

The Pat project is located approximately fifteen kilometres southeast of the Village of Horsefly in the Cariboo region of BC. The Pat property is owned by Cariboo Rose Resources and is subject to an option agreement which gives Astorius the right to earn a 60% interest in it by completing $1.2 million in exploration, and paying $150,000 in cash and issuing 200,000 shares to Cariboo Rose, before July 9, 2011.

Gold Fields now plans to drill several additional holes tracing the northeasterly mineralized trend in the Takom Zone, as previously described. The drill will then move onto the Deerhorn Zone and Spellbound Area, as reported earlier.

Tom Schroeter, President of Fjordland commented, ”The WJV is pleased with Gold Fields’ recent decision to significantly expand the winter drilling program. We look forward to receiving results of the drilling program over the next several months and reporting on them in a timely manner.
