[{"type":"text","content":"Fjordland, Commander and High Power Exploration Announce Results from Drilling at South Voisey's Bay Nickel Project, LabradorVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 24, 2018) - Fjordland Exploration Inc. (TSXV: FEX) (\"Fjordland\") and project partners Commander Resources Ltd. (TSXV: CMD) (\"Commander\") and privately-owned High Power Exploration Inc. are pleased to provide results from the recent drilling at their South Voisey's Bay nickel-copper-cobalt project (the \"SVB Property\") located 80 kilometres south of Vale's Voisey's Bay nickel mine in Labrador, Canada. The exploration program was completed in August 2018 and comprised 1,253.2 metres of drilling in 11 holes along with property wide geological mapping.The 2018 drilling program was designed to test the role of structure in controlling magma emplacement, and sulphide accumulation. Several drill holes were selected to test conductive structures interpreted from reprocessing of historical geophysical data that occur close to structures interpreted from satellite images and geological mapping. Overall results were low with higher grades being associated with basal accumulations of sulphides over narrow thicknesses, with the best results summarized below in Table 1. The intersections comprise clots and semi-massive sulphide comprised primarily of pyrrhotite with minor pentlandite and chalcopyrite occurring at or near the base of gabbro sills. Hole locations are provided in Table 2 at the end of this release. Sections and plans will be posted to the Company website. Reported core lengths are estimated to be true widths.Table 1: ResultsHole-IDFrom (m)To (m)Intervalppm Cuppm Nippm CoFL18-1032.0036.004.0012311748122FL18-11b43.0052.979.9711601413130FL18-1626.6531.004.3516223300656 Geological and structural mapping and property-wide prospecting programs were also completed during the 2018 field operation. Mapping was performed within key target areas to refine 2018 drill targets, as well as on a property wide scale to identify and constrain structures like those known to control emplacement of magmatic sulphides in the vicinity of the Voisey's Bay mine. Results from preliminary structural data analysis identified the presence of previously undocumented NE-SW ductile shear zones and late brittle fault systems that cross-cut foliation in the Tasiuyak paragneis...
