Wallbridge Enters into Agreements to Sell 10,870 ounces of gold at CAD$1720
![Gold Investing](https://investingnews.com/media-library/gold-investing.jpg?id=27813742&width=1200&height=800&quality=80&coordinates=36%2C0%2C37%2C0)
Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSX:WM, FWB:WC7) (“Wallbridge” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into agreements to deliver 10,870 ounces of gold to Auramet International LLC (“Auramet”) at a price of CAD$1720 per ounce, for proceeds of $18,696,400.
Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSX:WM, FWB:WC7) (“Wallbridge” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into agreements to deliver 10,870 ounces of gold to Auramet International LLC (“Auramet”) at a price of CAD$1720 per ounce, for proceeds of $18,696,400. The deliveries and payments are scheduled between August and December of 2018.
“Preparation for the bulk sample is progressing well and we are on schedule to begin ore production in the third quarter of 2018,” said Marz Kord, President and CEO of Wallbridge. “These agreements lock in a price for less than half of our projected gold production from the bulk sample, and significantly remove downward price risk. We still have a significant portion of projected production which is unhedged and on which we can enjoy any price appreciation.”
Dewatering of the Fenelon pit and underground is expected to be completed by the third week of April. Camp set-up will be completed in the next couple of weeks and the underground mining contractor has commenced mobilization. Ramp rehabilitation and development is expected to occur during April and May 2018, with underground exploration drilling and ore production scheduled to start in the third quarter of 2018. The Bulk Sample is expected to be completed during 2018.
The Company’s plans include the extraction of 35,000 tonnes of mineralized material with a grade ranging between 18 g/t and 25 g/t from planned stopes within the first 125 meters from surface. Approximately 5,000 to 8,000 metres of underground drilling is planned in conjunction with the Bulk Sample. The majority of this drilling is designed to expand the resource along strike and to depth. An additional 10,000 metre surface drilling program is scheduled to start in the latter part of this year to follow known mineralized zones and expand resources further away from the mine workings.
Wallbridge’s Fenelon Gold property is located in northwestern Quebec proximal to the Sunday Lake Deformation Zone (“SLDZ”) which hosts the Detour Gold Mine in Ontario, and Balmoral Resources’ gold deposits at Martiniere. The Fenelon Gold Property hosts the Discovery Zone gold deposit and surrounding 4 km strike length of a gold-hosting secondary splay of the SLDZ. A total of over 50,000 metres of drilling have been completed and, very significantly, two bulk samples have been mined and processed from the deposit. The open pit and underground workings are currently flooded.
Since acquiring the property in late 2016, Wallbridge has completed an updated resource estimate and a positive pre-feasibility study on the existing resource (see Wallbridge Press Release dated February 02, 2017). In addition, Wallbridge has completed 33 drill holes totalling 6,348 metres in three surface exploration drilling campaigns at Fenelon. Drilling significantly extended existing zones and discovered several new parallel zones (see Wallbridge Press Release dated December 13, 2017).
The Qualified Person responsible for the technical content of this press release is Marz Kord, P. Eng., M. Sc., MBA, President and CEO of Wallbridge.
About Wallbridge Mining
Wallbridge is establishing a pipeline of projects that will support sustainable production and revenue as well as organic growth through exploration and scalability.
Wallbridge is currently preparing to develop its 100%-owned high-grade Fenelon Gold Property in Quebec with ongoing exploration and a bulk sample targeted to start in 2018. Wallbridge is also pursuing other additional advanced stage projects which would add to the Company’s near term project pipeline. These discussions benefit from the operating capabilities Wallbridge demonstrated by safely and efficiently mining the Broken Hammer deposit in Sudbury, which was completed in October 2015. Wallbridge is also continuing partner-funded exploration on its large portfolio of nickel, copper, and PGM projects in Sudbury, Ontario, with a focus on its high-grade Parkin project.
Wallbridge also has exposure to active exploration for copper and gold in Jamaica and British Columbia through its 12.9% ownership of Carube Copper Corp. (CUC:TSX-V, formerly Miocene Resources Limited).
