Drilling Report

Landore Resources Limited 07 March 2006 7 March 2006 Landore Resources Limited WEST GRAHAM-FIRST NICKEL OPTION DRILLING REPORT First Nickel is carrying out exploration on Landore's West Graham property and the following is an extract from their recently published results. March 6, 2006 - Toronto, Ontario - First Nickel Inc. (FNI-TSX) is pleased to report assays for the first 9 holes, representing 2,654 metres of diamond drilling, completed on the West Graham property. First Nickel entered into an option/joint venture with Landore Resources Canada Inc. to acquire a 70% interest in the West Graham property which is strategically located immediately to the south of the East Zone of the Lockerby Mine. The West Graham property contains the historic Conwest Deposit, which represents the up-plunge extension of First Nickel's Lockerby East Deposit. There is also felt to be significant potential for high grade footwall-type deposits in the shadow of the Lockerby East-Conwest system on the West Graham property given the identification of substantial amounts of Sudbury Breccia and anomalous platinum group metal values within the footwall stratigraphy. A resource estimate completed by the Conwest Exploration Company Limited in the 1960's yielded 4.3 million tons at 0.52% nickel and 0.33% copper. This resource should be considered non-compliant with National Instrument 43-101. Broad zones of modest grade nickel sulphides, similar to those identified by Conwest, were intersected in this program including a 42.7 metre (140.1 feet) core length grading 0.63% Ni and 0.32% Cu in hole FNI2006. Higher grade zones that assayed up to 3.22% Ni and 0.14% Cu over a 0.57 metre core length in FNI2006 and 1.24% Ni and 0.35% Cu over a 6.0 metre core length in FNI2007 are present within the broader zones of lower grade mineralization. These results, when coupled with the previously reported results from holes FNI2002 and FNI2003 on January 26, 2006, indicate the potential to define a higher grade zone or zones within the currently outlined mineralized system.

The Company will also be examining the possibility that this entire system could represent a bulk tonnage underground mining situation given the 5% to 9% nickel tenors (ie nickel in 100% sulphides), which are present in this material. These tenors are very high by Sudbury standards for contact-type ores. That the Lockerby East and Conwest systems join along plunge is evidenced by intervening hole DEN10C, completed by Falconbridge Limited in the 1980's, that intersected a 21.64 metre (71.0 feet) core length grading 1.13% Ni and 0.86% Cu within a broader zone of 51.21 metres (168 feet) core length grading 0.71% Ni and 0.55% Cu. Significant assay results from DEN10C are summarized in the following table. The area between the Lockerby East and Conwest zones has seen relatively little drilling and represents a key exploration target for the Company.

Six thousand metres of diamond drilling are scheduled for this property in 2006. - ENDS - For more information please contact: Bill Humphries, Chairman Tel: 07734 681262 Richard Prickett, Chief Executive Tel: 07775 651421 Landore Resources Limited Simon Raggett Strand Partners Limited Tel: 020 7409 3494 David Bick Tel: 07831 381201 This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange END DRLEQLFBQXBZBBQ
