/CNW/ - Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSX:WM, FWB: WC7) ("Wallbridge")
is pleased to
announce that it will be participating in the AME BC Roundup Conference's Core Shack on January 22nd and 23rd. The conference is being hosted at the Vancouver Trade & Convention Center West
located at 1050 Canada Place, Vancouver, BC.
TORONTO, Jan. 19, 2018 Conference attendees are invited
to come by Coreshack Booth 720, to view high grade drill core from recent drilling on Wallbridge's Fenelon Gold property. Core from holes FA-17-17 (311.08 g/t gold over 3.06 metres) and FA-17-26 (260.44 g/t
gold over 7.02 metres) will be featured.
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 1,052 hectare Fenelon Gold property hosts the Discovery Zone gold deposit and surrounding 4 km strike length of a
gold-hosting secondary splay of the SDLZ. 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. In 2001, a 13,835 tonne bulk sample mined from a small open pit
at the Discovery Zone returned a reconciled grade of 9.84g/t gold. A second 8,169 tonne bulk sample, mined from underground in
2004 returned a reconciled grade of 10.7 g/t gold. 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 ).
Results from this initial year's exploration drilling program have exceeded expectations and resulted in an expanded
exploration target for the area near existing infrastructure and above 150 metres depth. Additional surface and underground
exploration drilling as well as a 35,000 tonne underground bulk sample are planned for 2018. All permits for the 35,000 tonne
bulk sample have been received (see Wallbridge Press Release dated January 16, 2018 ) and mobilization for the bulk
sample program is currently underway.
The Qualified Persons responsible for the technical content of this press release are Attila Pentek, P.Geo., Ph.D., Vice
President Exploration and Marz Kord, P. Eng., M. SC., MBA, President & CEO for Wallbridge
Mining Company Limited.
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 12.7% ownership of Carube Copper Corp. (CUC:TSX-V, formerly Miocene
Resources Limited).
