Second Drill Rig Added To Woodjam Project, BC
Vancouver, BC, July 23, 2008 – Cariboo Rose Resources Ltd. (“Cariboo Rose”) (TSX-V: CRB) and Fjordland Exploration Inc. (“Fjordland”) (TSX-V: FEX) are pleased to report that a second drill rig has been mobilized to the Woodjam project, located in the road accessible Cariboo region of central British Columbia. Cyr Drilling is expected to arrive on the property later in the week to drill test the Southeast Zone with 2,000 to 2,500 meters planned. The existing drill on site will move to reconnaissance drilling on the Takom and Deerhorn zones.
During the spring of 2008, four drill holes totalling 2,206 meters were completed on the Southeast Zone during Phase one drilling. These holes focused on grid drilling an area 200 meters by 200 meters, within a 1.5 km long induced polarization (IP) chargeability anomaly. All seven holes drilled to date in the Southeast Zone have intersected porphyry-style mineralization from the bedrock surface to the bottom of the holes. Two of these holes (07-72, 07-73) lie 700 meters to the southwest and 250 meters to the south, respectively, from the detailed drilling area. All of the holes were stopped either because of drill rig capability or bad ground conditions. The last hole of this Phase 1 program (08-83) assayed 0.44% copper, 0.006% molybdenum and 0.079 g/t gold over 402 meters which included 0.80% copper, 0.003% molybdenum and 0.123 g/t gold over 71.93 meters.
In late June 2008, the Phase two drill program commenced on the Southeast Zone (see News Release dated June 26, 2008). Hole 08-84, which is a 100-meter step-out to the southwest of hole 08-83, is currently nearing completion. Upon completion of this hole, the drill rig will move on to test selected IP chargeability anomalies over copper-gold targets in the Takom (one hole) and Deerhorn (two holes) anomalies, located west and north of the Southeast Zone, respectively. The Takom hole will be located approximately 90 meters north of hole 07-77 which assayed 0.3% copper and 0.31 grams per tonne gold over 39 meters. The two Deerhorn holes will test a previously undrilled area, east-northeast of the Megabuck copper-gold zone where a potentially significant amount of copper-gold mineralization has been outlined.
With mineralization observed in hole 08-84 similar in character to that in 08-83, the Woodjam Joint Venture is very encouraged about the potential to significantly expand the size of the Southeast Zone. Drilling on this zone is expected to continue until September.
Core samples will be submitted to Acme Analytical Laboratories, a certified facility in Vancouver, BC. Bruce Laird, P.
