$1,526,604
issuing an aggregate of
12,266,040 common shares and 2,383,020 warrants.
"This placement, at a significant premium to our current share price, is timely and shows affirmation of our development plans at Fenelon as well as
our current efforts in reviewing other value-accretive opportunities elsewhere," stated

The gross proceeds of the Offering will be used for surface exploration and underground bulk sample exploration of high-quality targets around the
known deposit used in the pre-feasibility study of Wallbridge's 100%-owned Fenelon Gold Property in
Quebec
and for general working capital
purposes.
About Wallbridge Mining
Wallbridge is establishing a pipeline of projects that will support sustainable production and revenue as well as organic growth through exploration
and scalability.
Wallbridge is currently preparing to develop its 100%-owned high-grade gold Fenelon Gold Property in
Quebec
with exploration underway and a
bulk sample and production decision targeted for 2017. Wallbridge is also in discussions regarding several other advanced stage projects which
could become the Company's next mines. These discussions benefit from the operating capabilities Wallbridge demonstrated by safely and
efficiently mining the Broken Hammer deposit in
Sudbury
, which was completed in October 2015. Wallbridge is also continuing active partner-
funded exploration on its large portfolio of nickel, copper, and PGM projects in
Sudbury, Ontario
. Currently, Wallbridge is completing a 20,000
metre fully partner-funded drilling program on its high-grade Parkin nickel-copper-PGM project.
Wallbridge also has exposure to active exploration for copper and gold in
Jamaica
and
British Columbia
through its 12.9% ownership of Carube
Copper Corp. (CUC:TSX-V, formerly Miocene Resources Limited).
