Fjordland Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: FEX) and Wildrose Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: WRS) report the receipt of assay results for the first seven holes drilled at the Woodjam gold-copper porphyry project in British Columbia. All of the holes reported were drilled as steps-outs from the Megabuck Zone to expand the system to the south. In this current program, 14 vertical holes have been drilled in the Megabuck area and 1 hole to the east to test an anomaly. The balance of the drill holes will be reported when available. Following a break, drilling will continue at Woodjam in the fall at the Takom Zone, located 2 kilometres south of the Megabuck region. The Woodjam project is operated by a joint venture of Fjordland (60%) and Wildrose (40%).
