Wallbridge Mining Adds to Its Management Team

Wallbridge Mining Company Ltd. (TSX:WM, FWB:WC7) (“Wallbridge” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Brian Penny, CPA, CMA as Chief Financial Officer.

Mr. Penny brings to Wallbridge a wealth of experience in the mining industry, spanning close to 30 years.  During his career, Mr. Penny has been instrumental in the growth of numerous companies, including as CFO of many publicly listed mining companies such as Kinross Gold, Silver Bear Resources, Western Goldfields Inc. and most recently with New Gold Inc.

“As we continue to grow Wallbridge, with our Fenelon Gold and Beschefer Projects in Quebec as well as our copper-nickel and PGM assets in Sudbury, we need to strengthen all aspects of our management team and Brian’s addition does just that,” stated Marz Kord, President & CEO of Wallbridge. “Mary Montgomery, who has been our CFO for over 10 years, has been instrumental in our growth to date and she remains a major part of our management team as Vice President of Finance for Wallbridge. The addition of Brian to our management team gives us the capacity to move forward aggressively, build upon our considerable assets, and move Wallbridge towards our goal of becoming a sustainable producer. Brian’s extensive experience in building companies will be invaluable going forward and I look forward to working with him as we continue to grow 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 developing its 100%-owned high-grade Fenelon Gold property in Quebec with ongoing exploration and a bulk sample 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. As part of this strategy, the Company recently optioned the Beschefer Project, an advanced gold property with proven size and grade-potential near Fenelon Gold.  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 exploration for copper and gold in Jamaica and British Columbia through its 11.3% ownership of Carube Copper Corp. (CUC:TSX-V, formerly Miocene Resources Limited, a Wallbridge spin-out of its BC assets).
