Wolfden’s Pickett Mt Strategic Metal Project in Maine Gains Local Support
Two Proximal Towns Vote in Favor of the Project and Hosting the Potential Infrastructure
Thunder Bay, Ontario, November 14, 2022 - Wolfden Resources Corporation (WLF.V) (“Wolfden” or the “Company”)
is pleased to provide an update on local support for its wholly-owned high-grade polymetallic (Cu-Pb-Zn-Au-Ag) Pickett
Mt. Project in Northern Main e in advance of Wolfden filing a rezoning application with the State to allow for the
development of a state-of-the-art modern underground mining operation.
The Towns of Stacyville and Hersey have voted overwhelmingly in favor ( 92%) of the Company proceeding
with its mine permitting process and have expressed interest in hosting the operation’s processing facilities
and tailings storage facilities, subject to approvals from Maine’s DEP and conditions respectively enumerated
by the towns.
Each Town represents an area of approximately 36 square miles and hosts numerous potential sites where
infrastructure could be ideally located in a manner that avoids negative impacts to natural resources including, water,
habitat, visual, noise, and air quality, amongst others. The Town of Hersey approved a Commercial/Industrial Mining
Ordinance, and the Town of Stacyville passed a Town Resolution , both in favor of the project , that is planned and
executed responsibly in accordance with State regulations. Maine’s stringent regulations will ensure that any permitted
mining operation is fully protective of the environment.
"I've met with Mr. Ouellette from Wolfden many times over the last three years and have developed a trust for
the company. We believe that Chapter 200 provides the necessary environmental protections to m ake this a
worthwhile project. Our (family) business is based on outdoor recreation and we see Wolfden as a good
steward of that resource here in Northern Maine," stated Terry Thurston-Hill, Shin Pond Village, Mount Chase.
"Since day one, the Wolfden team has been nothing but straightforward with the people and businesses of the
Patten region. I'm a small business owner and a town councillor in Patten and I vouch for the professionalism
and character of this company and the project ," stated Greg Smallwood, Patten Selectman and owner
Smallwood Inc.
“We are very pleased with the outcome. Our community-based approach, including numerous meetings, knocking on
doors and opening a local office in Patten all had a goal to inform those living near the project about the technical,
social and economic aspects of modern mining. This engagement was critical in gaining this level of support from both
towns,” stated Jeremy Ouellette, VP Project Development for Wolfden. “There is a benefit to all stakeholder s by
gauging the level of public support in advance of proceeding with the technical studies required to finalize site locations,
engineering and environmental management strategies that are required to satisfy State regulatory requirements. In
addition to their support, the communities are more knowledgeable and engaged in following the next stages of project.
Moving forward, our willingness to communicate the science of modern mining will be key to ensuring Mainers are able
to have an educated opinion on how Pickett can remain protective of Maine’s natural resources while delivering strong
stakeholder benefits with focus on Penobscot and Aroostook Counties.”
Wolfden’s extensive and ongoing environmental, social and corporate governance efforts in Maine has been focused
on providing education and communications to the local population surrounding Wolfden’s proposed state-of-the-art
modern underground mining operation. The Company has been engaged, providing open and public presentations
including town-hall meetings and information sessions focused on the benefits and potential impacts of the project. As
part of the next steps, the Company has been working in parallel on a rezoning petition to allow for industrial use of a
small portion of its 7,135 acre land package that hosts the Pickett Mt. deposit. The rezoning application will focus only
on the infrastructure required to construct and operate a small-footprint underground mine on the property located in
T6 R6 WELS. The processing and tailings facilities are planned to be outside of T6 R6 WELS and will not be subject
to the rezoning petition. The entire project will be subject to Maine’s stringent regulations which will ensure that any
permitted mine and its facilities are fully protective of the environment.
