Fjordland Exploration Inc. announced that in conjunction with Ivanhoe Electric Inc. and Commander Resources Ltd, the Company's drill program on the South Voisey's Bay nickel project located in Labrador is underway. Operating out of Hopedale Labrador, the plan is to complete up to 2,500m of diamond core by the fall. Located 90 km south of Vale's operating high-grade Voisey's Bay nickel mine, the South Voisey's Bay ("SVB") Pants Lake Intrusive is believed to have the potential for hosting a massive sulfide nickel deposit similar to the Voisey's Bay deposit.

Nickel sulfide in varying amounts occurs in the vast majority of the previous drill holes assayed within the Pants Lake intrusive. As an example, in 1997, Donner Resources Ltd. reported a 1.1m intercept of 11.6% nickel, 10.2% copper and 0.41% cobalt in drill hole SVB 97-75 on ground now adjacent to Fjordland's project. The goal of this summer's drill program is to locate conduits within the SVB system where nickel bearing magma has potentially accumulated in economic volumes.
