Cariboo Rose Announces Spin-Out of Woodjam Copper-Gold-Molybdenum Projects, BC

Vancouver, BC, June 29, 2011 – Cariboo Rose Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: CRB) and Fjordland Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: FEX), 40%-60% partners in the Woodjam Joint Venture (“WJV”), are pleased to announce that they have entered into a Letter of Intent to combine their respective interests in the Woodjam North and South copper-gold-molybdenum mineral properties (the “Properties”), and then spin-out their interest in the Properties to shareholders. The Woodjam Properties are located approximately 45 kilometres east of Williams Lake in British Columbia.

The purpose of the spin-out transaction is to preserve the interests of Cariboo Rose and Fjordland shareholders in the Woodjam properties by transferring them to a stand-alone corporate entity focused on the exploration and development of the Properties. This transaction will also facilitate the advancement and recognition of the other mineral exploration projects held by Cariboo Rose.

Pursuant to a statutory plan of arrangement, the interests of Cariboo Rose and Fjordland would be transferred into a newly incorporated company (“Newco”). Each company would receive shares of Newco (60% to Fjordland and 40% to Cariboo Rose) which would then be distributed to their respective shareholders, and the shares will be listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange. The transaction will be subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals.

Gold Fields Horsefly Exploration Corporation (“Gold Fields”), an exploration company owned and controlled by Gold Fields Limited (NYSE: GFI), is currently earning a 51% interest in the Woodjam North Property by completing exploration expenditures totaling C$7,000,000 during the option period (36 months), and a 51% interest in the Woodjam South Property by completing exploration expenditures totaling US$7,000,000 during the option period (42 months).  Gold Fields is expected to be in a position to vest its 51% interest in both Properties by the end of 2011. The planned budget estimates for the Woodjam North and South Properties during 2011 are $1 million and $5 million, respectively.

Gold Fields may earn an additional 19% interest (for a total of 70%) by completing additional exploration expenditures of C$12,000,000 during the option period (48 months) for Woodjam North, and at least US$8,000,000 during the option period (48 months) for Woodjam South.  In addition, under the Woodjam South option agreement, Gold Fields is required to provide the Woodjam Joint Venture with a Feasibility Study to earn its 70% interest.
