THUNDER BAY, ON

/CNW/ -
Wolfden Resources Corporation (WLF.V)
(the
"
Company
" or "
Wolfden
") is pleased to announce additional results from its ongoing infill and
expansion drilling at the Company's wholly owned Pickett Mountain Project in northeastern
Maine
,
USA. The Project represents one of the highest grade zinc-rich, volcanogenic massive sulphide
("VMS") deposits in
North America
and consists of two primary lenses (East and West) that remain
open for expansion.
Drill holes PM-18-028 (East Lens) and 029 (West Lens), both intersected robust zones of high-
grade VMS mineralization as tabulated below. Horizontal widths for these intersections are equal to
60% of the core length.
Hole No.

Hole 028 intersected the E1 Lens at a vertical depth of 350 metres below surface and returned
19.8% combined Zn+Pb+Cu over 5.0 metres including 3.4 metres at 27.2% combined Zn+Pb+Cu.
Hole 029, a step-out drill hole testing the W1 Lens, cut massive sulphide at a vertical depth of 600
metres below surface, yielding 15.0 metres of 21.1% combined Zn+Pb+Cu including 10.6 metres of
27.7% combined Zn+Pb+Cu. This deep intercept is one of the best to date on the project and
correlates well with hole 022 (
50 m
to the east) that returned 34.7% combined Zn+Pb+Cu over 4.7
metres.
In addition, hole 031 intersected new potential lens of massive sulphide mineralization 150 metres to
the north (deeper into the footwall) below the East Lens at a vertical depth of 650 metres. Visual
inspection indicates similar appreciable amounts of zinc, lead and copper sulphide mineralization, as
is typical of the East and West lens, over a core length of 2.5 metres. Assay results are pending.
"This deeper mineralization is a very positive development in terms of adding to the scale at Pickett
Mountain", stated
Don Hoy
SVP Exploration for Wolfden. "The discovery warrants a follow-up
program of down-hole EM surveying in order to explore the extent of this potential new lens of
massive sulphide mineralization".
The Company is continuing to model the historical and recent drill results in order to generate an
updated mineral resource estimate. 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).

Instrument 43-101.
About Wolfden
Wolfden is a Canadian Exploration and Development Company focused on advancing high-quality
polymetallic projects in
Canada
and it's high-grade (Zn, Pb, Cu, Ag) VMS Pickett Mountain Project in
Maine
, USA. Pickett Mountain consists of a wholly owned 6,800 acre property, close to excellent
infrastructure, that includes complete ownership of the land and all rights to minerals, timber and
access without any historic or aboriginal encumbrances. The Company plans to complete sufficient
exploration, definition drilling and various technical studies in order to demonstrate the economic
potential for an underground mining scenario on the Project.

drilling activities at the Pickett Mountain
Project; the timing and completion of an anticipated
mineral resource estimate and technical studies at the
Pickett Mountain
Project; and the scope of
and the anticipated effect of new mining legislation in
