Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSX:WM, FWB:WC7) is pleased to announce that it has resumed surface exploration drilling on the 100% owned Fenelon Gold property (“Fenelon“) in Quebec. Drilling is focused on further expanding the deposit following the high-grade gold results intersected earlier in the year and in lead up to underground exploration drilling concurrent with the underground bulk sample expected to begin later this fall.
Year to date and since acquisition in October 2016, Wallbridge has completed 24 surface exploration drill holes totaling 4,808 metres drilling. Fourteen of these drill holes intersected significant intervals of gold mineralization, including multiple parallel zones, outside of the 5.0 g/t gold grade shell of the previously established resource estimate. Highlights from recent drilling include drill hole FA-17-07 which intersected 141.16 g/t gold over 7.06 metres and FA-17-17 which intersected 346.55 g/t gold over 3.06 metres (see Wallbridge press release September 5, 2017).
“Our goal with this next round of drilling is to further evaluate and expand the deposit’s west extension where holes FA-17-07 and FA-17-17 noted above were drilled,” stated Marz Kord, President and CEO of Wallbridge. “We also continue to make progress with permitting of the bulk sample at Fenelon which will also enable us to commence underground drilling.”
Drill core samples from the recent drill programs at Fenelon were cut and bagged on site and transported to ALS Chemex. Samples, along with standards, blanks, and duplicates included for quality assurance and quality control, were prepared and analyzed at ALS Chemex Ltd. laboratories. Samples are crushed to 90% less than 2mm. A 1kg riffle split is pulverized to >95% passing 106 microns. 50g samples are analyzed by fire assay and AAS (for samples returning >100g/t Au, 50g is automatically analyzed by fire assay with gravimetric finish). For samples >10g/t Au or samples containing visible gold, Wallbridge requests screen metallic analysis of the remaining pulverised split to test for coarse free gold. Several screen metallic analysis are still pending. Reported assay results may vary from time to time due to re-analysis for quality assurance and quality control.

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 gold Fenelon Gold Property in Quebec with ongoing exploration and a bulk sample targeted to start in 2017. Wallbridge is also in discussions regarding several other advanced stage projects which could become the Company’s next mines. 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 12.7% ownership of Carube Copper Corp. (CUC:TSX-V, formerly Miocene Resources Limited).

Such assumptions and estimates are made in light of the trends and conditions that are considered to be relevant and reasonable based on information available and the circumstances existing at this time. A number of risk factors may cause actual results, level of activity, performance or outcomes of such exploration and/or mine development to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements including, without limitation, whether such discoveries will result in commercially viable quantities of such mineralized materials, the possibility of changes to project parameters as plans continue to be refined, the ability to execute planned exploration and future drilling programs, the need for additional funding to continue exploration and development efforts, changes in general economic, market and business conditions, and those other risks set forth in Wallbridge’s most recent annual information form under the heading “Risk Factors” and in its other public filings. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and such information is inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are difficult to predict and may be beyond the control of Wallbridge.
