Fjordland Proposes to Extend Warrants and Implement Early Warrant Exercise Incentive Program

Vancouver, January 24, 2023 - Fjordland Exploration Inc. (TSXV: FEX) (the "Company") announces that it has extended the expiry date of 12,500,000 share purchase warrants (the "Warrants") by one year to February 12, 2024. The Warrants were issued pursuant to a private placement which closed on February 12, 2021 and were originally set to expire on February 12, 2023. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $0.175 per common share. Other than the one year extension to February 12, 2024, all other terms of the Warrants, including exercise price, will remain the same. These are the only Fjordland share purchase warrants currently outstanding, other than 85,500 finders warrants which can not be amended under TSXV policies.

In addition to the extension of the Warrants, the Company has also implemented an early warrant exercise incentive program (the "Program") intended to encourage the immediate exercise of the Warrants. To the extent that holders of the Warrants take advantage of the opportunity to exercise their Warrants early, between the period commencing January 25, 2023 and ending on February 23, 2023 (the "Early Exercise Period"), each holder will receive a benefit as described below and the Company will raise additional funds for working capital purposes. Warrants that remain unexercised following the completion of the Early Exercise Period will continue to be exercisable for Common Shares on the original terms as they existed prior to the Program, other than the extended expiry date of February 12, 2024.

Summary Information about Warrant Incentive Program

Pursuant to the program, the Company is offering an inducement to each Warrant holder that exercises Warrants during the Early Exercise Period by reducing the exercise price to $0.05 per common share and issuing one additional common share purchase warrant (the "Incentive Warrant"). Each Incentive Warrant entitles the Warrant holder to purchase one additional common share for a two year period up to February 12, 2025, at a price of $0.10 cents per common share. In certain events, the Company can accelerate the expiry date of the Incentive Warrants if the common shares trade above a weighted average of $0.20 for ten consecutive days. The repricing will only apply during the term of the Program which ends on February 23, 2023. Warrants that are not exercised before 4:00 pm on February 23, 2023 will maintain the original terms, including the exercise price of $0.175 per common share and the extended expiry date of February 12, 2024.

The Early Exercise Period will commence on January 25, 2023 and will expire on February 23, 2023. The Incentive Warrants and any common shares issuable on the exercise thereof will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issuance of the Incentive Warrants pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.

Depending upon the number of Warrants exercised during the early exercise period, the Company expects to:

• Receive gross proceeds of up to $625,000;
• Issue up to 12,500,000 common shares pursuant to the exercise of Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Warrants; and
• Issue up to 12,500,000 Incentive Warrants to Warrant holders pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants on or before February 23, 2023.

The terms and conditions of the program and the method of exercising Warrants pursuant to the program are set forth in a notice which is being delivered to the last known contact of each Warrant holder. Warrant holders who wish to participate in the program will agree to exercise their Warrants and deliver the other necessary documents in consideration of the issuance by the Company of the Incentive Warrants.

The Program is subject to approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). The number of Warrants to be exercised by insiders of the Company is limited to no more than 10% of the total Warrants, being 1,250,000 Warrants, and the Company will issue no more than 1,250,000 Incentive Warrants to insiders under the Program.
