Assay Highlights Include:
Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSX:WM, OTCQX:WLBMF) is pleased to report that ongoing drilling at the Company’s 100%-owned Fenelon gold project has identified additional gold mineralized zones outside of the Project’s current Mineral Resource Estimate. These results will be incorporated into the MRE update and preliminary economic assessment currently underway at Fenelon.
Attila Péntek, Wallbridge’s Vice President, Exploration, commented:
“Earlier this year, we identified a very favourable environment for gold deposition to the east-southeast of the current Fenelon resource footprint, at vertical depths between 600 metres and 1,000 metres. The intersection, 7.80 g/t Au over 16.0 metres in hole FA-22-411, released today, shows the continuation of high-grade Tabasco-style mineralization in this area, adding to a number of significant intersections already reported in our news release dated July 26, 2022, and underscoring the potential for bulk underground mining zones at Fenelon.”

Assay QA/QC and Qualified Persons
Drill core samples from the ongoing drill program at Fenelon are cut and bagged either on-site or by contractors and transported to SGS Canada Inc. or Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd. for analysis. Samples, standards and blanks are included for quality assurance and quality control, were prepared and analyzed at the laboratories. Samples are crushed to 90% less than 2mm. A 1kg riffle split is pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns. 50g samples are analyzed by fire assay and AAS or ICP. At SGS and Bureau Veritas, samples >10g/t Au are automatically analyzed by fire assay with gravimetric finish or screen metallic analysis. To test for coarse free gold and additional quality assurance and quality control, Wallbridge requests screen metallic analysis for samples containing visible gold. These and future assay results may vary from time to time due to re-analysis for quality assurance and quality control.
The Qualified Person responsible for the technical content of this press release is Peter Lauder, P.Geo, Exploration Manager of Wallbridge.
About Wallbridge Mining
Wallbridge is focused on creating value through the exploration and sustainable development of gold projects along the Detour-Fenelon Gold Trend while respecting the environment and communities where it operates.
Wallbridge’s flagship project, Fenelon Gold is located on the highly-prospective Detour-Fenelon Gold Trend Property in Quebec’s Northern Abitibi region. A mineral resource estimate completed in 2021 validated the multi-million-ounce potential of the 100%-owned Fenelon and Martiniere properties, incorporating a combined 2.67 million ounces of indicated gold resources and 1.72 million ounces of inferred gold resources. Fenelon and Martiniere, located within a 910 km2 exploration land package controlled by Wallbridge, have the potential to be developed into mines and are close to existing power and transportation infrastructure.
Wallbridge also holds a portfolio of nickel assets in Ontario and Quebec. In line with its strategy to unlock the value of its Nickel Assets for shareholders, Wallbridge announced on July 13, 2022, that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Archer Exploration Corp. pursuant to which, Archer will acquire all of Wallbridge’s property, assets, rights and obligations related to its Nickel Assets, including Grasset, to create a focused and well-funded publicly traded nickel exploration and development company.
Wallbridge will continue to focus on its core Detour-Fenelon Gold Trend Property while enabling shareholders to participate in the potential economic upside in Archer.
