At Woodjam South, a 15,000-metre (m) drilling program (5,000 m infill, 6,000 m expansion drilling, and 4,000 m unallocated) commenced on March 16^th in the core area measuring 800 m by 630 m to a depth of more than 400 m. A number of the drill sites are planned to allow calculation of an inferred pit-constrained NI 43-101 compliant resource by the end of 2011. This work program is part of Gold Fields' $5 million budget announced on March 2, 2011. This initial drilling program, utilizing two rigs, concentrated on the southern and southeastern areas of the core area of mineralization, primarily dictated by access logistics during the spring months. Drilling will next test the northern and northwestern areas of the core area of mineralization. To date, nineteen holes totaling more than 8,000 m have been completed; further results will be reported in batches when received.

Southeast Zone Drilling:

Table Notes: Intervals are core lengths; Cu Equivalent in % calculated using US$2.50/lb Cu, US$950/oz Au and US$15/lb Mo and the formula: ((%Cu x 22 x Price Cu/lb) + (g/t Au x 0.03215 x Price Au/oz) + (%Mo x 22 x Price Mo/lb))/ (Price Cu/lb x 22). * = end of hole. Metallurgical recoveries and net smelter returns are not considered.

Hole SE11-22 was collared between holes SE10-01, WJ08-89 and WJ08-85, along the interpreted southern portion of the higher-grade core area, and encountered copper-molybdenum mineralization from the top of the bedrock to the end of the hole at 474.3 m. The final 2.3-m sample interval assayed 0.24% Cu and 0.02 g/t Au (0.26% Cu Eq).

Hole SE11-24 was collared between holes WJ07-73 and WJ08-86 and approximately 200 m east of SE10-01 and 200 m west of SE10-08, along the interpreted southeastern portion of the higher-grade core area, and encountered copper-molybdenum mineralization from the top of the bedrock to the end of the hole at 461.2 m. A 50.5-m unmineralized porphyry dyke intrudes the mineralized rocks between 338.0 m and 388.4 m.

Hole SE11-26 was collared between holes WJ08-86 and WJ08-95, along the interpreted southeastern portion of the higher-grade core area, and encountered copper-molybdenum mineralization from the top of the bedrock to the end of the hole at 404.2 m. The final 78.2 m of the hole assayed 0.019% Mo.

Assay results for holes SE11-23 and SE11-25 have not yet been approved under the project's strict quality control/quality assurance procedures.

All 42 drill holes reported on the Southeast Zone to date are mineralized from the overburden/bedrock interface to the bottoms of the holes, with the exception of one reconnaissance hole (SE10-20), drilled approximately 800 m north of the northern-most mineralized hole (SE10-07) and for two occurrences of host rock displacement by narrow, younger basalt dykes. The current drilling program is testing mineralization to depths of about 400 m; however, the deepest hole to date (WJ08-82) is just over 700 m and ended in mineralization.

Fjordland President Tom Schroeter says: "Assay results from this ongoing infill and expansion drilling program continue to be very positive with the potential to increase the mineralized zone already defined in the Southeast Zone. We look forward to further positive results from this program, culminating in a 43-101 inferred resource before the end of 2011."

Core samples were analyzed by ALS Laboratory Group, a certified facility in North Vancouver, BC. Tom Schroeter, P.Eng./P.Geo., who is a qualified person within the context of National Instrument 43-101, has read and takes responsibility for this news release.
