Wolfden Continues with High Grade Drill Intercepts at Pickett Mtn.

THUNDER BAY, ON, Oct. 29, 2018 /CNW/ - Wolfden Resources Corporation (WLF.V) (the "Company" or "Wolfden") is pleased to announce an update on drill results from its ongoing infill and expansion drill program on its wholly-owned Pickett Mountain Project in Maine, USA, where two diamond drills are now active.

Drill hole PM-18-027 intersected 12.7 metres of massive sulphide mineralization at a vertical depth of 240 metres below surface, including mineralized intercepts with grades and widths that are tabulated below.

The tenor and grade of hole 027 correlates well with other proximal drill intercepts in the West Lens (W1) including hole 25 that yielded 10.7 metres of 9.5% Zn+Pb+Cu and hole 82 that resulted in 4.9 metres of 12.8% Zn+Pb+Cu.

In addition, two recently completed step-out holes PM-18-028 and 029 both intersected significant core lengths of massive sulphide mineralization containing appreciable zinc, lead and copper sulphides. Hole 028 cut 4.2 metres of massive sulphide at a vertical depth of 350 metres that correlates well with other holes in the E1 Lens.  In the West Lens, hole 029 intersected 10.3 metres of massive sulphide mineralization in a deep step-out hole located 50 metres west of hole 022 that yielded 4.7 metres of 34.7% combined Zn+Pb+Cu at a depth of 550 metres. Assay results for these holes are pending and will be reported when they become available.

The Company is continuing to model the historical and recent drill results in order to generate an updated mineral resource estimate before the end of the year and one that can be further expanded as drilling continues. Drill results obtained from both the West and East Lenses of the Pickett Mountain deposit can be viewed on an updated vertical longitudinal drill section in the Pickett Mtn. presentation on the Company website.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control

Wolfden adheres to strict Quality Assurance and Quality Control protocols including routine insertion of blanks and certified reference standards in each sample batch of drill core that is sent to the lab for analyses. Drill core samples are split in half using a diamond saw with one half saved for reference and the other half shipped via secure transport to Activation Laboratories sample preparation facility in Fredericton, New Brunswick.  Core samples are analyzed for zinc, lead and copper utilizing sodium peroxide fusion, acid dissolution followed by ICP-OES (Code 8). Gold is analyzed by fire assay (30 g) utilizing AA finish (Code 1A2) and samples with over 5 g/t are analyzed by fire assay with gravimetric finish (Code 1A3). Silver is analyzed by fire assay with gravimetric finish (Code 8-Ag). 

The information in this news release has been prepared and approved by Don Hoy, P. Geo., SVP Exploration and Ron Little P.Eng., President and CEO for the Company who are both Qualified Persons under National Instrument 43-101.
