NEWS RELEASE NR#14-06 Fjordland Reports Retirement of President & CEO
Vancouver, BC, August 7, 2014 – Fjordland Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: FEX) (“Fjordland” or the “Company”) The Board of Directors reports the resignation of Thomas Schroeter as President, CEO and Director effective September 15, 2014.
An active and respected member of the Vancouver junior mining exploration industry, Mr. Schroeter has been President, CEO and Director of the Company since June 1, 2007. During that period, his outstanding knowledge, geological expertise and industry contacts have been tremendous assets. Mr. Schroeter was an integral member of the geological team that discovered the copper-gold deposits which constitute the Woodjam Project near Horsefly, British Columbia. Fjordland's interest in this project (and it's subsequent optioning to Goldfields) was distributed to Fjordland shareholders as shares in Consolidated Woodjam Copper Corp. in 2011. In May 2013 Goldfields filed a 43-101 compliant inferred resource of 227.5 mt grading 0.31% Cu for the Southeast Zone which is the largest of the 5 deposits discovered/delineated to date.
The Company would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Schroeter for his invaluable contribution during his years of service to the Company. We wish him all the best in his retirement.
Richard C. Atkinson has agreed to be appointed as interim President & CEO effective September 15, 2014.
