Wallbridge to Display High Grade Fenelon Gold Core at PDAC

TORONTO, March 1, 2018 /CNW/ - Wallbridge Mining Company Ltd. (TSX:WM, FWB: WC7) ("Wallbridge") is pleased to announce that it will be participating in the PDAC International Convention on March 4-7, 2018 at Booth #2442 in the Investors Exchange. The conference is being hosted at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Toronto, Canada.

Marz Kord, President and CEO, will be presenting a corporate update on Monday, March 5^th in Room 802 at 11:15 am. Conference attendees are also invited to come by Coreshack Booth #3101A on Sunday, March 4^th and Monday, March 5^th, 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). Preparations for the bulk sample program, including the dewatering of the open pit and underground workings are currently underway (see Wallbridge Press Release dated February 27, 2018).

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 Ltd..

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 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 12.4% ownership of Carube Copper Corp. (CUC:TSX-V, formerly Miocene Resources Limited).
