  • Total combined Indicated Resource of 2.67 million ounces: 43.56 Mt grading 1.91 g/t Au.

  • Total combined Inferred Resource of 1.72 million ounces: 31.78 Mt grading 1.69 g/t Au.

  • Fenelon has evolved from a small high-grade underground deposit to a multi-million-ounce potential open pit and underground bulk mineable deposit.

  • Significant expansion potential in multiple directions laterally and at depth at both Fenelon and Martiniere.

TORONTO, Nov. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSX: WM, OTCQX:WLBMF) (“Wallbridge” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) for the Fenelon gold property and an updated MRE for the Martiniere gold property, both located on the Company’s 910 km2 land position on the Detour-Fenelon Gold Trend (see Figure 1) in Northern Abitibi, Quebec.

The table below summarizes the MREs for Fenelon and Martiniere.

"Our maiden MRE demonstrates how Fenelon has rapidly evolved and continues to grow. We started with a small high-grade deposit and now, with the discovery of and subsequent drilling on the Tabasco/Cayenne and Area 51 zones, we have a multi-million-ounce deposit amenable to potential open pit and underground bulk mining,” said Marz Kord, President & CEO of Wallbridge. "Together with an updated MRE for Martiniere, which is located 30 km west of Fenelon, the Fenelon MRE strengthens our vision of establishing multiple gold producing assets sharing centralized infrastructure on the Detour-Fenelon Gold Trend. These two gold deposits remain open in multiple directions laterally and at depth indicating significant potential for expansion. Our next step is additional drilling to add to these resources prior to proceeding with an economic study and to identify new mineralization elsewhere on the Detour-Fenelon Gold Trend."
