Wolfden Submits Re-Zoning Application for a Mine at the Pickett Mt. Project in Maine

Wolfden Submits Re-Zoning Application for a Mine

at the Pickett Mt. Project in Maine

Thunder Bay, Ontario, January 23, 2023 - Wolfden Resources Corporation (WLF .V) (“Wolfden” or the “Company”)

is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary Wolfden Mt. Chase LLC, has submitted an application to the

Maine Land Use Planning Commission (LUPC) in order to re -zone a 374 acre parcel of its wholly owned 7,135 acre

Pickett Mountain Project land holdings in Northern Maine, from a General Management (M-GN) designation to Planned

Development (D-PD) in T6 R6 WELS. The proposed purpose of the D -PD rezoning is to allow for the construction,

operation and reclamation of a state of the art, small foot print underground metallic mineral mine in a manner that is

fully protective of the environment.

The Project is located several miles off of State Route 11, in an area of very low population density, north of the Town

of Patten and includes a 1200 tonne per day underground mining operation with a 10-15 year mine life. The mine and

other supporting infrastructure will require a steady-state work force of roughly 272 direct employees and contractors.

The mined ore, rich in zinc, copper, lead, silver and gold and will be processed at a different location (not in T6 R6) and

therefore is outside of the scope of the application. Moreover, the technical analysis for each component of the Project

and each aspect for the protection of natural resources, demonstrate that the Project is feasible and consistent with the

values prioritized by the LUPC.

“We are very pleased to submit this application where the technical studies to date indicate the operation will be fully

protective of the surrounding natural resources and associated recreational activities, the neighboring communities and

the State of Maine,” stated, Jeremy Ouellette, VP Project Development. “In addition, we have hosted public meetings

and information sessions in many of the surrounding towns that have resulted in growing community interest as

members appreciate the protective nature of Maine’s Chapter 200 mining regulations and their right to be heard in the

mine permitting process.” Several neighboring towns have passed ordinances or resolutions, by public vote, in support

of the Project, subject to the prerequisite regulatory approvals.

The Project represents a significant opportunity for new economic growth in an area of the State where much of the

economy is based on timber harvesting. Wolfden has been working with residents and businesses in the region to

ensure that the Project is responsive to the needs of the region and will benefit the people who live and work there.

The Project will be developed, operated, and reclaimed in accordance with regulations that ensure protection of the

surrounding environment.

The re-zoning application is subject to and will be reviewed under the Commission’s Chapter 10 and Chapter 12 rules.

Chapter 12 requires a public hearing to be held by the Commission in the area of the project before a final decision on

the application.

A copy of the petition and more information about the process is available for download from the LUPC project-specific

webpage and the Company’s website.

Pickett Mountain Mineral Resource Estimate

NOVEMBER 17, 2021 - MINERAL RESOURCE STATEMENT

Category Tonnes % Zn % Pb % Cu g/t Ag g/t Au Density % ZnEq

Indicated 2,724,000 8.91 3.83 1.22 97.2 0.8 3.84 17.72

Inferred 3,593,600 9.27 3.83 1.00 105.4 0.7 3.81 17.65

Metal prices used for the estimate: US$1.20/lb Zn, $2.50/lb Cu, $1.00/lb Pb, $16.00/oz Ag, and $1,200/oz/Au,

using a 7% cutoff grade that equates to an approximate NSR cut-off of $139/tonne at the same metal prices. An

average recovery of 75% for all metals was assumed based on preliminary metallurgical testing. The deposit remains

open at depth and into the footwall (north) where continued expansion and infill diamond drilling has the potential

to further upgrade and expand the mineral resource
