Wolfden Provides an Exploration and Project Development Update
Drilling to Commence on Silver Projects in New Brunswick
Thunder Bay, Ontario, September 2, 2021 - Wolfden Resources Corporation (WLF.V) (“Wolfden” or the “Company”)
is pleased to provide an update on its exploration and project development programs in Maine , New Brunswick and
Manitoba.
“With drilling about to commence on our exciting Silver projects in both Maine and New Brunswick, and announcements
with respect to updated mineral resource estimates for its Pickett Mt. Project in Maine and two nickel sulphide projects
in Manitoba, the fall is shaping up to be busy time for the company and its expected news flow,” stated Ron Little,
President and CEO for Wolfden. “We are also ple ased with the recent filing of an updated rezoning document for the
Pickett Mt. Project. The additional study work during H1 2021 and changes to the conceptual mining and processing
layouts would result in one of the most modern and environmentally friend ly polymetallic mining operations in North
America and reinforces the technical merits and financial capacity of the project. We look forward to proceeding with
the rezoning process and the goal of a possible conclusion in H1 2022.”
Pickett Mt. Project - Maine
• The Company is pleased to report that it has filed an updated application document with the Land Use Planning
Commission of Maine (LUPC) to rezone a 646 acre portion of its 7,145 acre property in Northern Maine, to
allow for the developmen t of an underground mining and processing operation. The updated document
includes several new independent studies related to water management, soil conditions, dry stack tailings
management, socioeconomics, wildlife protection, and a site alternatives an alysis, amongst others, that
reinforce the merits of the project. The document has also been re -organized from its original form, at the
request and input from the LUPC, so that the information is easier to follow for all readers. The Company
hopes that after review and commentary from the public and the LUPC, a public meeting will be held in Q4
2021 or Q1 2022 to further advance the petition towards a decision.
• The Company is waiting on the results of hole 24 , that exhibited multiple sulphide-rich intervals that appear to
correlate with the FWZ located below the East Lens of the Deposit. These results are required before Wolfden
can finalize an update to the resource model and update the mineral resource statement. Results and
completion of the resource update is expected in September.
• Increased amounts of sediment-hosted stringer to semi-massive mineralization was intersected approximately
500 meters north of the East Lens and 125 metres west of hole, PX-001, which had intersected 200 metres of
stringer-type base metal mineralization (Wolfden News Release, Jan. 13, 2020). Assays are pending for holes
25 and 26 in this area . Downhole electromagnetic surveys, with a goal of locating massive sulphide
mineralization, are planned down holes 24 to 26.
Big Silver Project - Maine
• Drilling is expected to commence by the end of September along with a ground induced polarization (IP)
geophysical survey at the Big Silver Project in Maine . Crews have been completing a similar survey on its
silver projects in New Brunswick. The initial 6-10 drill holes will test and confirm for potential for depth extension
of the known wider higher-grade silver and copper-gold rich hydrothermal mineralization within a one mile area
and test a strong zinc -in-soil anomaly. The geophysical survey will hopefully indicate possible extensions of
the system that in due course can be drill tested. Soil sampling over the area, has been completed with results
expected in Q4, 2021 and geological mapping is in progress.
Silver Projects – New Brunswick
• Drilling is expected to commence by mid -September now that soil sampling has been completed and an IP
survey has almost been completed on the California Lake and Bear Creek silver prospects. The IP and
coincident soil results correlate with the multiple validated historic high -quality soil anomalies that parallel
previous northwest-trending, high-grade silver drill results. A program of trenching followed by drilling will test
for extensions of known zones and newly generated targets. See Figures 1 & 2.

Nickel Projects – Manitoba
• Modelling of the Company’s two nickel deposits in Manitoba (Rice Island and Nickel Island) is mostly complete
and a property visit will be completed in September to allow the completion of NI43-101 compliant technical
reports. Two additional gabbro hosted nickel copper occurrences have been located in the historic data , with
one of the occurrences associated with a 3 km by 1 km, magnetic feature (mapped gabbro intrusion) and an
airborne electromagnetic anomaly. In comparison the Rice Island nickel deposit is associated with a 300 m by
200 m gabbroic body. Geophysical surveys are planned over both of the new target areas in advance of
extension drilling at the Rice Island Deposit.
About Wolfden
Wolfden is an exploration and development company focused on high-margin metallic mineral deposits including base,
precious and strategic metals . Its wholly owned Pickett Mou ntain Project is one of the highest -grade polymetallic
projects in North America (Zn, Pb, Cu, Ag, Au). This relatively advanced project in northern Maine is well-located near
excellent infrastructure that will support near term development as detailed in a Preliminary Economic Assessment date
September 14, 2020.

Development at (416) 414-9954.
The information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Don Dudek, P. Geo., VP Exploration and Ron
Little P.Eng., President and CEO, who are Qualified Persons’ under National Instrument 43-101. For further information
on the Pickett Mountain project, see technical report entitled "National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report, Preliminary
Economic Assessment Pickett Mountain Project, Penobscot County, Maine, USA” dated September 14, 2020 on Sedar.
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 t hat 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 Brun swick. Core samples are analyzed for
zinc, lead, copper and silver utilizing 4 -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 over 100 g is analyzed by fire assay with gravimetric finish (Code 8 -Ag).
Note that the grade and width data presented for the New Brunswick projects is generally not from Wolfden work and
while the Company has reasonable confidence in the quality of the data, the Company cannot guarantee the accuracy
of the drill results at this time without carrying out further work.
