About Wallbridge Mining
Wallbridge creates value through the acquisition, discovery, development, and production of metals. Wallbridge is working to
establish a portfolio of projects that will support sustainable production and revenue as well as organic growth through
exploration and scalability.
Wallbridge is currently in discussions regarding several advanced stage projects which could become the Company's next
production platforms. These discussions benefit from the operating capabilities Wallbridge demonstrated by safely and efficiently
mining the Broken Hammer deposit, which was completed in October 2015. One of those advanced
discussions turned into the outright purchase of the Fenelon Mine Property from Balmoral which
transaction is now being completed.
Wallbridge is continuing active partner-funded exploration on its large portfolio of nickel, copper, and PGM projects in
Sudbury, Ontario. Most of this work is funded by joint venture partners and has led to the
discovery of numerous mineral occurrences including the Broken Hammer deposit.
Wallbridge has further exposure to active exploration for copper and gold in Jamaica and
British Columbia through its 15.6% ownership of Carube Copper Corp. ("Carube Copper")
(CUC:TSX-V, formerly Miocene Resources Limited).
