Fjordland Exploration Inc.: Gold Fields Exercises Right of First Refusal on Woodjam South, BC
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA-- Jan. 15, 2010 - Fjordland Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FEX ) and Cariboo Resources Ltd (TSX VENTURE:CRB) , the Woodjam Joint Venture ("WJV") 60%/40% partners, report that Gold Fields Horsefly Exploration Corporation (a member of the Gold Fields Limited group of companies (NYSE:GFI - News)) has provided written notice that it intends to exercise a right of first refusal with respect to the WJV's Woodjam South copper-gold property. This offer matches one presented by another major international mining company.
Pursuant to the offer, Gold Fields can earn a 51% interest in the Woodjam South Property in consideration for expending US$7 million on exploration over 42 months and the purchase of a total of C$500,000 of common shares of the WJV partners, which will be divided relative to their interests. The offer includes the right to increase the earned interest to 70% by financing a bankable feasibility study. The transaction is subject to due diligence and the execution of a definitive agreement. A draft agreement is expected shortly; its terms will be released upon signing.
Gold Fields right of first refusal is contained in the existing Option and Joint Venture Exploration Agreement relating to the adjoining Woodjam North Property. The WJV recently released drill results which is part of a comprehensive exploration program budgeted at $3 million and operated by Gold Fields on this 40,750-hectare property (see January 12, 2010 News Release for details). Drilling is scheduled to resume in early February.
The 13,807-hectare Woodjam South Property includes the Southeast Zone, discovered in late 2007 by the WJV partners. Drilling of 7,700 m in 18 holes during 2007 and 2008 of a large, 1.5 km by 1 km, induced polarization (IP) target tested a length of 1000 m, a width of 500 m and to a depth of 700 m. Fifteen of these holes were drilled on a grid pattern 600 m by 300 m. Porphyry-style copper-gold-molybdenum mineralization was intersected from the bedrock surface to the end of the hole in all 18 holes. The best intercepts (hole 08-84) included: 359.1 m grading 0.69% Cu, 0.27 g/t Au and 0.006% Mo, including 200.8 m grading 1.01% Cu, 0.44 g/t Au and 0.002% Mo. Less than one quarter of the IP anomaly has been tested. During 2009, no drilling was carried out at Woodjam South. A high resolution, low level airborne magnetometer survey was completed over the property and several prospective new anomalies were identified.
Tom Schroeter, President of Fjordland commented, "The earn-in proposal for the WJV's Woodjam South Property by a major international mining company and the subsequent notice to exercise its right of first refusal by Gold Fields represents another important step in the WJV's objective of advancing the entire Woodjam property without significant equity dilution."

Firestone Ventures (TSX VENTURE: FV.V)(FRANKFURT:F5V) Acquires Antelope Zinc-Lead-Silver Oxide Property
Firestone Ventures (TSX VENTURE: FV.V)(FRANKFURT:F5V) Acquires Antelope Zinc-Lead-Silver Oxide Property
EDMONTON, ALBERTA--Jan. 12, 2010) - Firestone Ventures Inc. ("Firestone" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: FV.V)(FRANKFURT:F5V) is pleased to announce that it has signed formal agreements with two underlying vendors to earn a 100% interest in the 58.5 hectare Antelope zinc-lead-silver oxide project located 75 km southwest of Eureka, Nevada, U.S.A.
"The road-accessible Antelope project presents Firestone with a promising zinc oxide project in one of the most mining-friendly jurisdictions in the world. This is an early stage exploration project, but with our in-house expertise in zinc oxide exploration we can efficiently evaluate the zinc tonnage potential of Antelope," says Lori Walton, President of Firestone Ventures Inc. "Although our focus will remain in Guatemala we are excited about the possibility of adding to our Company's zinc tonnage through identification of base metal resources on an international scale."
Zinc mineralization hosted in lower Ordovician Hanson Creek Formation was discovered on the Antelope property in the 1980's followed by reverse circulation drilling between 1985 and 1990. Since then, intermittent geologic mapping and geochemical sampling was carried out by various parties. Zinc mineralization (smithsonite with minor sphalerite and galena) is exposed in a 15 metre long trench trending east-west and in a series of prospect pits over a 1.2 kilometre window of outcropping Paleozoic limestone.
During a due diligence visit by Firestone in August, 2009, five continuous chip samples were collected from smithsonite exposed at the bottom of the 15 metre long trench. The five chip samples (each sample taken over 3 metres) contained from 22.3% to 32% zinc and from 1.51% to 3% lead over 15 metres. The orientation of the smithsonite exposed in the trench is unknown. The highest silver value was 2.6 grams/tonne.
Eight additional rock chip samples were collected on the property. Six of the eight chip samples ranging from 1.0 metre to 3.0 metres returned zinc values of over 5.5% up to a maximum value of 20.7%. Seven of the eight chip samples returned lead values over 1,000 ppm (0.10%) up to a maximum value of 2.4% lead. Silver values were generally low (less than 1.4 grams/tonne).
Zinc mineralization at Antelope is a replacement of carbonate rocks, similar to the Company's Torlon Hill zinc-lead-silver deposit in Guatemala. Firestone is compiling and re-interpreting historic data sets and plans to design a surface exploration program that will define potential drill targets.
Terms of the Agreement
Under the terms of the Lease Option Agreement with the first underlying vendor to earn 100% interest in six of the lode mineral claims comprising the Antelope property, Firestone must make cash payments to the vendor totalling USD$83,340 over five years according to the following schedule (all amounts in U.S Dollars); $5,840 on signing, $7,500 by Year One Anniversary, $10,000 by Year Two Anniversary, $15,000 by Year Three Anniversary, $20,000 by Year Four Anniversary and $25,000 by the end of Year Five, and in subsequent years as an advance royalty. In addition, Firestone must incur $10,000 in exploration expenditures during Year One, $15,000 during Year Two and $25,000 in Year Three and subsequent Years. A 2% Net Smelter Returns Royalty is reserved for the owner, of which half may be purchased anytime by Firestone for USD $1.5 million. If Firestone purchases the owner's first 1% NSR, Firestone then has the option to purchase the remaining 1% NSR for $1.5 million.
In addition, Firestone has entered into a Lease Option Agreement with a second vendor to earn a 100% interest in one overlapping lode mineral claim covering the main mineralized zone. Under the terms of the Agreement, Firestone must issue to the underlying vendor cash payments totalling $82,500 over five years according to the following schedule; $5,000 on signing, $7,500 by Year One Anniversary, $10,000 by Year Two Anniversary, $15,000 by Year Three Anniversary, $20,000 by Year Four Anniversary and $25,000 by the end of Year Five and in subsequent years as an advance royalty. A 2% NSR is reserved for the owner. Firestone can purchase the owner's NSR anytime for $2.0 million.
All rock samples were analyzed by the Inspectorate Lab in Sparks, Nevada using 30 element ICP, AA for Pb, Cu and Zn and FA/AA for gold and silver.

Firestone Ventures (FV:TSX-V; F5V:FSE) Completes Phase One Exploration Program for Zinc-Lead in Guatemala
Firestone Ventures (FV:TSX-V; F5V:FSE) Completes Phase One Exploration Program for Zinc-Lead in Guatemala
Jan. 8, 2010 - Firestone Ventures Inc. (“Firestone” or the “Company”) (FV:TSX-V; F5V:FSE) is pleased to announce that the first phase of its 2009/2010 zinc-lead-silver regional mineral exploration program is now complete. Field crews collected a total of 149 rock samples, 26 stream sediment samples and 1,033 soil samples from the Company’s land holdings in western and central Guatemala. Results are expected in January, 2010 and targets for follow-up exploration and potential drilling will be prioritized. Field crews will remobilize in mid-January to continue with regional exploration mapping and sampling programs concurrent with targeted drilling.
In addition, consultants Watts, Griffis and McOuat Limited completed processing of Aster satellite data to map colour anomalies on the ground that compared favorably with areas of known zinc mineralization, such as the Torlon Hill zinc-lead-silver deposit. The spectral analysis resulted in the detection of anomalies along the carbonate belt, some of which have been selected for follow-up sampling on the ground.
“Field crews concentrated on the geological mapping and sampling of selected historic zinc occurrences,” says Lori Walton, President of Firestone Ventures Inc. “We are very excited about identifying new drill targets in Guatemala in addition to in-fill and expansion drilling at our Torlon Hill zinc-lead-silver deposit. The increase in the prices of zinc and lead since the economic collapse in late 2008 has been remarkable and Firestone is ideally positioned to benefit from strengthened demand for these metals.”
The price of zinc has increased from USD $0.55/lb (USD $1213/tonne) in early 2009 to the current price of over USD $1.15/lb (USD $2535/tonne). Global consumption of zinc has increased with economic recovery and massive construction and infrastructure programs introduced through economic stimulus programs in several countries.
Zinc's most important industrial use is to protect steel from corrosion (through alloying or galvanizing) to make it last longer. The average automobile contains over 40 pounds of zinc. Zinc is also used to make sheet metal roofing material, pails, garbage cans, door handles and batteries and is used in oxide form as a filler in rubber and as an additive in sunscreen. Zinc is an essential element in the human body and is vital for healthy growth in children.
Zinc Potential in Guatemala
A belt of Permian to Cretaceous carbonate rocks extending over 200 km across western and central Guatemala hosts numerous zinc occurrences and historic small-scale zinc oxide and sulphide mines. The district is virtually unexplored using modern exploration methods and its exploration and economic potential is considered excellent. On a global scale, a comparison of style and geological setting shows striking similarities of the zinc-lead district in Guatemala to economically significant zinc districts in Yemen, Iran and China.
Independent consultants Watts, Griffis and McOuat Limited state that it is “very likely” that additional non-sulphide zinc will be found through on-going systematic exploration of Firestone’s large land package totalling over 500 square kilometres in key areas of the historic zinc districts. In addition, the regional setting has considerable potential for conventional Mississippi Valley-Type (MVT) zinc-lead sulphide mineralization. MVT deposits typically occur in clusters or districts with multiple deposits over hundreds of square kilometers having similar geological settings.
About the Torlon Hill Zinc-Lead-Silver Deposit
The 100% owned road-accessible Torlon Hill zinc-lead-silver deposit is 22 km from the Pan-American Highway in western Guatemala. Firestone was the first company to drill the property. Torlon Hill is an intensely oxidized zinc-lead (plus silver) deposit hosted in Permian dolostone breccia and limestone. The carbonate unit has been tectonically thrust over a serpentinized basement sequence at the boundary between the North American Tectonic Plate and the Caribbean Plate. The “tectonic crush zone” is pervasively mineralized with thick zones returning in excess of 10% zinc and locally up to 40%. Smithsonite (ZnCO3) is the predominant ore mineral, occurring as a replacement to dolostone and limestone. Throughout the deposit, silver-rich galena veinlets cross-cut the pervasive zinc-replacement mineralization.
To date, a total of 8,400 metres in 101 holes has been drilled at the Torlon Hill zinc-lead deposit. The combined measured and indicated zinc-lead-silver oxide mineral resource totals 1,891,636 tonnes grading 7.32% zinc, 2.41% lead and 14.25 g/t silver (at a 3% zinc-equivalent cutoff). An additional 169,705 tonnes is classified as inferred resources grading 4.42% zinc, 1.96% lead and 12.53 g/t silver.
The Torlon deposit also contains a basal zone of unoxidized sulphide mineralization. The basal zone includes a combined measured and indicated sulphide resource totalling 76,054 tonnes averaging 3.23% zinc, 2.6% lead and 12.50 g/t silver and a further 36,291 tonnes classified as inferred resources averaging 2.79% zinc, 2.03% lead and 10.47 g/t silver (see news release Nov. 18, 2008). The deposit is open to expansion and high-grade zinc mineralization defined by the mineral resource is on or near surface.
The Company is continuing collaborative work with local communities on social-economic initiatives, upgrading existing access roads and stream crossings along with the coordination of local supplies and services.
The news release has been reviewed and approved by John Cleary, (CPG), Qualified Person for the Torlon Hill project and by Al Workman, P.Geo., Vice President of Watts, Griffis and McOuat Limited and the Independent Qualified Person for the project in accordance with regulations under National Instrument 43-101.

A belt of Permian to Cretaceous carbonate rocks extending over 200 km across western and central Guatemala hosts numerous zinc occurrences and historic small-scale zinc oxide and sulphide mines. The district is virtually unexplored using modern exploration methods and its exploration and economic potential is considered excellent. On a global scale, a comparison of style and geological setting shows striking similarities of the zinc-lead district in Guatemala to economically significant zinc districts in Yemen, Iran and China.
Independent consultants Watts, Griffis and McOuat Limited state that it is “very likely” that additional non-sulphide zinc will be found through on-going systematic exploration of Firestone’s large land package totalling over 500 square kilometres in key areas of the historic zinc districts. In addition, the regional setting has considerable potential for conventional Mississippi Valley-Type (MVT) zinc-lead sulphide mineralization. MVT deposits typically occur in clusters or districts with multiple deposits over hundreds of square kilometers having similar geological settings.
About the Torlon Hill Zinc-Lead-Silver Deposit
The 100% owned road-accessible Torlon Hill zinc-lead-silver deposit is 22 km from the Pan-American Highway in western Guatemala. Firestone was the first company to drill the property. Torlon Hill is an intensely oxidized zinc-lead (plus silver) deposit hosted in Permian dolostone breccia and limestone. The carbonate unit has been tectonically thrust over a serpentinized basement sequence at the boundary between the North American Tectonic Plate and the Caribbean Plate. The “tectonic crush zone” is pervasively mineralized with thick zones returning in excess of 10% zinc and locally up to 40%. Smithsonite (ZnCO3) is the predominant ore mineral, occurring as a replacement to dolostone and limestone. Throughout the deposit, silver-rich galena veinlets cross-cut the pervasive zinc-replacement mineralization.
To date, a total of 8,400 metres in 101 holes has been drilled at the Torlon Hill zinc-lead deposit. The combined measured and indicated zinc-lead-silver oxide mineral resource totals 1,891,636 tonnes grading 7.32% zinc, 2.41% lead and 14.25 g/t silver (at a 3% zinc-equivalent cutoff). An additional 169,705 tonnes is classified as inferred resources grading 4.42% zinc, 1.96% lead and 12.53 g/t silver.
The Torlon deposit also contains a basal zone of unoxidized sulphide mineralization. The basal zone includes a combined measured and indicated sulphide resource totalling 76,054 tonnes averaging 3.23% zinc, 2.6% lead and 12.50 g/t silver and a further 36,291 tonnes classified as inferred resources averaging 2.79% zinc, 2.03% lead and 10.47 g/t silver (see news release Nov. 18, 2008). The deposit is open to expansion and high-grade zinc mineralization defined by the mineral resource is on or near surface.
The Company is continuing collaborative work with local communities on social-economic initiatives, upgrading existing access roads and stream crossings along with the coordination of local supplies and services.
The news release has been reviewed and approved by John Cleary, (CPG), Qualified Person for the Torlon Hill project and by Al Workman, P.Geo., Vice President of Watts, Griffis and McOuat Limited and the Independent Qualified Person for the project in accordance with regulations under National Instrument 43-101.

GOLDCORP (TSX: G; NYSE: GG) ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT WITH NEW GOLD INC. TO AQCUIRE XSTRATA’S 70% INTEREST IN THE EL MORRO PROJECT
GOLDCORP (TSX: G; NYSE: GG) ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT WITH NEW GOLD INC. TO AQCUIRE XSTRATA’S 70% INTEREST IN THE EL MORRO PROJECT
(All amounts in US dollars unless otherwise indicated)
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, January 7, 2010 – Goldcorp Inc. (TSX: G; NYSE: GG) today announced the execution of a binding agreement (the “Agreement”) with New Gold Inc. (“New Gold”), whereby New Gold will exercise its right of first refusal and acquire the 70% interest in the El Morro project held by Xstrata Copper Chile S.A. (“Xstrata Chile”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Xstrata Plc. Goldcorp will advance $463 million to New Gold to fund the exercise of the right of first refusal by a New Gold subsidiary. Following the acquisition of the 70% interest by the New Gold subsidiary, Goldcorp will acquire that subsidiary from New Gold. Goldcorp will pay New Gold $50,000,000 in cash upon closing of the subsidiary acquisition, and has agreed to amend certain terms of the El Morro Shareholders Agreement, including with respect to New Gold’s capital funding obligations.
El Morro is an advanced stage copper-gold project located in a mining friendly jurisdiction in north-central Chile, Region III, approximately 80 kilometres east of the city of Vallenar. On a 100% basis, El Morro contains proven and probable reserves of 6.7 million ounces of gold and 5.7 billion pounds of copper(1), with an additional 2.2 million ounces of gold and 1.0 billion pounds of copper in the measured and indicated resource categories(1).“In El Morro, Goldcorp has identified an ideal project with which to re-enter one of the best mining jurisdictions in South America,” said Chuck Jeannes, Goldcorp President and Chief Executive Officer. “The foundation of our peer-leading growth profile is built on high quality, long-lived assets with low cash costs in politically stable jurisdictions throughout the Americas. As well, we look for large land positions with strong organic growth potential. By all of these measures, El Morro is a natural fit for our company.With full construction of Peñasquito nearing completion, the project team that delivered what will be one of the largest mines in the world on schedule and on budget will now bring their considerable expertise to bear in building this major project. Our strong balance sheet provides the freedom to begin advancing El Morro toward commercial production immediately upon the closing of this transaction, and we look forward to working with New Gold to develop this project for the benefit of the shareholders of both companies.”
Upon completion of the transactions, which are subject to customary closing conditions and are anticipated to close within 15 business days of the execution of the sale agreement, Goldcorp will hold 70% and New Gold 30% of the El Morro project.
Goldcorp’s financial advisors are GMP Securities L.P. and its legal advisors are Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP in Canada.
(1) El Morro’s mineral reserves and resources are reported as of March 31, 2008. Mineral reserves have been calculated based on a gold price of $500/oz, a copper price of US$1.25/lb and a cut-off of 0.30% copper-equivalent (“EqCu”) where: EqCu(%) = Cu(%) + 0.592 x Au (g/t) and Cu(%) = percent copper and Au(g/t) = grams per tonne gold. The Qualified person as defined under NI43-101 is Mr. Richard J. Lambert, P.E and formerly Principal Mining Engineer for Pincock, Allen & Holt Inc., currently Executive VP with Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates. Mineral resources have been estimated based on US$500/oz gold, US$1.25/lb copper and a grade cut-off of 0.3% copper-equivalent (“EqCu”) where: EqCu(%) = Cu(%) + 0.592 x Au (g/t) and Cu(%) = percent copper and Au(g/t) = grams per tonne gold. Mineral resources are based on an economically constrained “mineral resource pit” that uses the same cost and metal recovery parameters used to define mineral reserves as described in the May 2008 NI 43-101 technical report for the project. Mineral resources are exclusive of mineral reserves. The Qualified person as defined under NI43-101 is Mr. Barton G. Stone, P. Geo and Chief Geologist for Pincock, Allen & Holt Inc.
Goldcorp is the lowest-cost and fastest growing multi-million ounce gold producer with operations throughout the Americas. Its gold production remains 100% unhedged.Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
