Wolfden to Speak at Geological Society of Maine's Annual Fall Meeting in Augusta, Maine, U.S.A.

THUNDER BAY, ON, Nov. 17, 2017 /CNW/ - Wolfden Resources Corporation (WLF:TSX-V) ("Wolfden" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has been invited to participate in the Geological Society of Maine's Annual Fall Meeting to be held in Augusta, Maine, U.SA, on November 17, 2017. The theme of the meeting is 'Opportunities and Challenges Facing Maine's Mineral Resource Industries'.

Mr. Donald Hoy, President and CEO of the Company, will deliver one of several presentation at the meeting entitled 'Picket Mountain Project and Undiscovered Mineral Potential' and will participate in a panel discussion that will include Mr. Tom Saviello of the Maine State Senate, Mr. Ralph Tucker of the Maine State House of Representatives, as well as other State regulators that were instrumental in the formulation and enactment of the new mining legislation recently adopted in the State of Maine.

Mr. Donald Hoy stated, "We are pleased to be participating in this conference that is timely in terms of the completion of the Pickett Mountain acquisition and the onset of preliminary exploration prior to year-end. It presents an excellent opportunity for the Company to interact with key Government and private sector personnel that worked hard to get the new mining legislation passed."

Recently, LD 820 was enacted by the Maine legislature, permitting mining of metallic minerals in Maine in certain prescribed situations. The new legislation took effect on November 1, 2017.  Prior to the introduction of proposed new legislation in 2013 and the enactment of LD 820 into law in 2017, there was little mining and mineral exploration in Maine. Interest in the geology and potential for VMS projects like the Pickett Mountain Project has been revived with zinc and copper price appreciation and the opening up of the mine permitting regime under specific prescribed limitations. Wolfden sees significant exploration opportunity in this jurisdiction that it believes is vastly under-explored.
