I wonder if the HM X-MILL Whould of Ben better for them. Press Releases March 06, 2017 Wallbridge Files Prefeasibility Study at Fenelon Toronto, Ontario -- March 6, 2017 - Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSX:WM, FWB: WC7) ("Wallbridge" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed a National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 Technical Report dated effective March 3, 2017 with respect to the Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") for the development of Fenelon Gold Mine ("Fenelon") in Quebec, Canada. The PFS supports the positive results which were announced in a February 2, 2017 press release. "We are very encouraged by the positive economic results of the PFS, but perhaps more importantly by the potential for resource expansion within the existing and planned underground infrastructure that Wallbridge has identified and which is supported by the study," said Marz Kord, President & CEO of Wallbridge. "Based on recent exploration results at Fenelon, we are very optimistic that we can add a significant amount of additional ounces with very limited drilling by initially pursuing high-quality targets around the known deposit used in the PFS," Mr. Kord added. "In addition to this drilling from surface expected to start this quarter, our plan is to add immediate value for shareholders by beginning gold production as soon as possible which will generate near-term cash flow and also allow us to continue exploration from underground to take advantage of the identified potential to expand the deposit to depth and along strike. Permitting is currently underway and a production decision is expected in Q2, 2017." The PFS demonstrates the attractive economics of Fenelon within only the top 100 meters of the deposit. Key findings are (all dollar amounts in Canadian dollars): Estimated project pre-tax cash flow of $6.62 million, a project pre-tax internal rate of return ("IRR") of 92% over 18 months; and an NPV of $5.84 million (at a 5% discount rate), based on a 6-month trailing average gold price in Canadian dollars of $1,689 per ounce. Initial construction capital of $5.24 million. Mineral reserves of 96,721 tonnes at grade of 9.30 grams per tonne of gold for 28,922 ounces of gold in the top 100 meters of the deposit (6,770 tonnes of proven ore at 9.3 grams per tonne and 89,951 tonnes of probable ore at 9.3 grams per tonne). Total revenues of $47.4 million with total costs of $40.8 million generating pre-tax cash flow of $6.62 million. Total costs include pre-production, capital and operating including milling and transportation, remote camp operation, general & administrative, contingencies as well as royalties. Most cost estimates are based on firm quotations from mill, mining and transportation contractors. Mining contractors have shown interest in supplying the working capital (part of capital expenses) until mill payments are received. The Company intends to continue with permitting and the required studies with a production decision expected shortly thereafter. The PFS can be found under Wallbridge's profile at sedar.com and on the Company's website at wallbridgemining.com.

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 Mine project in Quebec with a production decision targeted for Q2 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 active partner-funded exploration on its large portfolio of nickel, copper, and PGM projects in Sudbury, Ontario. Currently, Wallbridge is completing a 20,000 metre fully partner-funded drilling program on its high-grade Parkin nickel-copper-PGM project.
