Wolfden’s Pickett Mt. Delivers on Silver-Rich FWZ and a New Stringer Zone

Stringer Zone returns 17.14% ZnEq over 8.8 metres and FWZ yields 285.1 oz/t AgEq over 0.3 metres

Thunder Bay, Ontario, February 22, 2021 - Wolfden Resources Corporation (WLF.V) (“Wolfden” or the “Company”)

is pleased to announce additional positive drill results from its wholly owned Pickett Mountain Property in Northeastern

Maine. Results include all assays for the final six holes (see Figure 1) that targeted the Footwall Zone (FWZ) that was

discovered approximately150-200 metres north of the Pickett Mt. deposit. This massive to semi massive sulphide to

stringer sulphide lens continues to deliver better than expected silver values. The results to date exhibit continuity and

exceptional grades that suggest th e FWZ lens could potentially add significant resources to the overall project if the

planned drill holes as indicated on Figure 1. yields positive results.

Exceptional Silver Assay Results

These final holes returned some exceptional assay results from the FWZ including a new record high value of 172.4%

ZnEq that includes 23.6% Zn, 13.5% Pb, 3.61% Cu, 204 Oz/t Ag and 0.14 Oz/t Au over 0.3 metre in hole G-056

extension. Although narrow, this high -grade zone displays enough continuity that management believes has the

potential to be mined from underground via shrinkage stoping. Additional +1000 g/t silver (>30 oz/t Ag) intersections

were also returned from holes PM20 -13 and PM20-15. The FWZ, is situated 150 to 200 metres north of the current

mineral resource and has been intersected over a panel that is 800 m by 200 m is size. Additional drilling will be carried

as soon as practically possible to further test the extents and continuity this lens (see Figure 1. Longitudinal section of

the FWZ Lens).

New Stringer Zone Discovery

In addition to the FWZ sulphide zone , stringer-type mineralization has been intersected in holes situated 150 -200

metres north of the West Lens, and south of the FWZ with intercepts including 17.14% ZnEq over 8.8 m (true width

unknown). This type of zinc-rich, quartz-porphyry-hosted massive sulphide stringer zone mineralization was discovered

in the final two drill holes of the fall program. The zone remains open and will be a top priority in the next drill program.

“The addition of this silver-rich zone and strong stringer -type mineralization that is situat ed in close proximity to the

well-defined, high-grade East and West lenses, can only add to the current positive economics of the project that was

demonstrated in the September 14, 2020 Preliminary Economic Assessment,” stated Ron Little, President and CEO of

Wolfden. “The high-grade nature of the stringer and FWZ mineralization, underscores the obvious exploration upside

of the project and continued will commence as soon as possible to further test the limits of these two new lenses of

mineralization.”

FWZ Technical Details

Significant silver-enriched FWZ drill results include 172% ZnEq over 0.3 m in hole G-056ext (MS), 52.9% ZnEq over

0.75 m in hole PM20-07 (MS), 7.4% ZnEq over 19.2 m in hole PM20-13 (stringer SMS), 9.8% ZnEq over 1.9 m in

hole G-040X (stringer), 4.2% ZnEq over 12.2 m in hole PM20-15, 6.1% ZnEq and 6.4% ZnEq over 3.4 m and 2.6 m,

respectively, in hole PM20-16 and 5.0% ZnEq over 13.8 m in hole PM20-17. A color-contoured long-section of the FWZ

is presented in Figure 1, along with proposed drill hole pierce points. A summary of select intercepts is presented in

Table 1 along with more details presented in Table 3.

These intercepts lie along a 200 metre by 800 metre panel of silver -enriched base metal that lies from 150 to 200

metres in the footwall of the East and West Lens massive sulphide zones (Figure 1).

The FWZ is hosted by a moderately to intensely chlorite -altered polymictic felsic debris flow that lies at the contact

between a felsic quartz porphyry unit and a felsic volcanic dome complex with the felsic dome below the West lens

containing magnetite and hematite. Under the W est Lens, the FWZ dips 50 degrees to the north and under the East

Lens, the FWZ dips steep to moderate to the south.

QP Stringer Zone Details

Multiple intervals of quartz porphyry hosted, zinc/lead-enriched, pyrite-poor, massive sulphide stringers, returned up to

11.11% Zn, 4.34% Pb, 1.03% Cu, 11.84 g/t Ag and 0.03 g/t Au over 8.8 metres (true width unknown). This style of

mineralization was intersected in two holes approximately 15 to 23 metres apart along the southern contact of a strongly

altered felsic quartz porphyry unit. Additional drilling will be required to determine the extent of this type of

mineralization.

Other holes of interest

Hole PM20-13, intersected the West Lens horizon at a depth of 750 metres in a 30 m west step-out from the modelled

envelope. Several, narrow, pyrite -rich intervals of massive sulphide were intersected with the best interval returning

0.11% Zn, 0.03% Pb, 0.68% Cu, 13.74 g/t Ag and 0.25 g/t Au over 1.23 m (0.56 m true width).

Hole PM20-14, was drilled 350 metres to the west of PX -001, which had returned a 207 m intercept of stringer -type

base metal mineralization. Generally low grade stringer mineralization grading from 0.37 to 2.81% ZnEq over 0.94 to

11.7 m, was intersected.
