Fort St. James Nickel Corp.: Kilomter 26 Drilling Update

Fort St. James Nickel Corp. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:FTJ) is pleased to
provide an update on its current drill program. Drilling on the Kilometer 26
project, located near the community of Fort St. James, BC., commenced on
November 20th and four holes have been completed with a 5th hole currently in
progress. To date, approximately 700 meters has been drilled. All holes have
encountered serpentinite from bedrock to bottom of hole. Holes have been drilled
at a spacing of approximately 400 metres resulting in an area extending
approximately 1.6km trending north/south and approximately 500 metres trending
east/west and open in all directions, particularly to the south and west based
on geophysical signatures. All holes have bottomed in serpentinite at depths
varying from 80 metres to 200 metres. Drill casing has been left in place at all
holes to allow for possible deepening at a later date. It is expected that the
current hole will be completed by December 19th and drilling will then be
stopped for a Christmas break and resume again in the new year. Analytical
results are expected in approximately one month.


The current drill program is expected to complete a total of 12 drill holes
totalling approximately 2,000 metres. Drill targets were established following
the completion of approximately 65 line kilometers of ground-based geophysical
surveys (particularly magnetic and induced polarization).


Due to the relatively low elevation of the Kilometre 26 property and its
excellent access, exploration programs can be carried out year-round. Kilometre
26 is accessed by an all-season arterial logging road.


The Kilometer 26 Project encompasses 9,819 hectares (24,263 acres), located in
the Omineca Mining Division of British Colombia. It is centered on a strong
airborne magnetic The magnetic anomaly is circular in feature and is more than
five kilometers in diameter, suggesting a large ultramafic body. Geological
reconnaissance and prospecting over the last two summers have discovered an area
of nickel mineralized serpentinite over an area of five kilometers by three
kilometers (outcrop, subcrop and rubble) within this feature. The setting and
nature of the nickel mineralization are believed to be similar to what occurs at
the Decar Project (Cliffs Natural Resources Inc.), located 30 kilometers to the
west. 


The property is easily accessible by a major industrial road and logging roads,
is bisected by a power line that forms part of the British Columbia power grid,
and is adjacent to a branch line of the Canadian National Railway.
