About Wallbridge Mining
Wallbridge is working to establish 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. 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 11.5% ownership of Carube Copper Corp. (CUC:TSX-V, formerly Miocene
Resources Limited).
