About Fjordland Exploration Inc.
Fjordland Exploration Inc. is a mineral exploration company that is focused on the discovery of large scale potentially economic deposits located in Canada.

Fjordland has been actively exploring the Pants Lake Intrusive in collaboration with High Power Exploration and Commander Resources. The target is a Ni-Cu-Co deposit analogous to the nearby Voisey's Bay deposit some 80 km to the north.

Fjordland has an option from CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. to earn an 80% interest in two large claim groups located 20 km. north of Vale's long-life Thompson mine located in northern Manitoba.
