Wallbridge Updates Progress on Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate at Fenelon
TORONTO, Oct. 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSX:WM) (“Wallbridge” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its maiden mineral resource estimate (“MMRE”) for the Fenelon Gold Property (“Fenelon” or the “Property”) is progressing well and is scheduled for release by the end of October along with an updated mineral resource estimate (“MRE”) for the Martiniere Gold Property (“Martiniere”). The assay results announced today include the final assays to be included in the MMRE. Drilling is continuing with up to 11 drill rigs; approximately 45-50,000 additional metres are planned for the remainder of the year. Future assay results will be included in upcoming resource updates.
Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (“MMRE”)
The MMRE will include assays from over 300,000 metres of drilling from within an approximately 1.0 by 1.5-kilometre area in the central part of the known mineralized footprint at Fenelon, from surface to a maximum depth of approximately 1,000 metres.
The MMRE will encompass:
- near surface potentially open pittable mineralization in Area 51;
- near surface high-grade mineralization adjacent to the existing mine workings from the Gabbro Zones;
- wide zones of potentially bulk mineable underground mineralization from the Tabasco, Cayenne, Contact and Area 51 Zones;
“Our resource estimation at Fenelon is progressing well, and the majority of the results announced today are still part of the maiden resource database,” stated Marz Kord, President & CEO of Wallbridge. “The MMRE is an important milestone for the Company, less than 3 years after the initial discovery of the Area 51 and Tabasco zones, and represents the first major steppingstone in developing one of Quebec’s new large gold deposits. The deposit remains open in multiple directions laterally and at depth and we see a lot of potential to grow this deposit to ultimately become a significant gold producer. Over the remainder of the year, we will ramp- up our exploration drilling efforts to expand the known mineralized footprint at Fenelon in order to better understand the ultimate size potential of this deposit and the surrounding property.”
Tabasco-Cayenne-Contact Zones, Definition Drill Results
Nominal 75 metre-spaced definition drilling of the Tabasco-Cayenne-Contact Zones over a strike length of approximately 800 metres and vertical depths between 300 and 1,000 metres in support of the MMRE was the primary focus of the Company’s drilling campaign between January and August of this year.

(1) Table includes only assay results received since the latest press release dated Sept 15, 2021.
(2) Au cut at: 100 g/t Au for the Tabasco/Contact zones; 60 g/t Au for the Cayenne zones; 50 g/t Au for the Area 51 zones.
(3) Intervals containing visible gold ("VG").
(4) Metal factor of at least 5 g/t*m and minimum weighted average composite grade of 1 g/t Au.
* Results reported here contain previously announced intervals that were extended with new assay results.
Note: True widths are estimated to be 50‒80% of the reported core length intervals.
Assay QA/QC and Qualified Persons
Drill core samples from the ongoing 2021 drill program at Fenelon are cut and bagged either on site or by contractors and transported to SGS Canada Inc., AGAT Laboratories Ltd. or Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd. for analysis. In 2020 samples were submitted to either SGS Canada Inc. or ALS Canada Ltd. for analysis. Samples, along with standards and blanks that 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. At SGS, AGAT 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 for 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 currently advancing the exploration and development of its 100%‒owned Fenelon Gold property located along the Detour‒Fenelon Gold Trend, an emerging gold belt in northwestern Québec. The Company completed approximately 102,000 metres of drilling in 2020 and is currently conducting a fully‒funded 2021 program of approximately 150,000-170,000 metres of drilling and 2,500 metres of underground exploration development (Phase 1 of a 10,000‒metre program). The Company intends to complete a maiden mineral resource estimate on the Fenelon Gold System in October 2021.
Wallbridge now holds several kilometres surrounding its rapidly expanding Fenelon discovery providing room for growth, as well as future mine development flexibility. Wallbridge's land holdings in Québec along the Detour‒Fenelon Gold Trend total more than 900.0 km2, improving Wallbridge's potential for further discoveries along a 90‒kilometre strike length in this underexplored belt.
Wallbridge is also the operator of, and a 17.8% shareholder in, Lonmin Canada Inc., a privately‒held company with a portfolio of nickel, copper, and platinum‒group metals (PGM) projects in Ontario's Sudbury Basin.
