Wallbridge Comments on Recent
Announcement by Hinterland Metals Inc.
TORONTO
,
Sept. 26, 2018
/CNW/ -
Wallbridge Mining Company Limited
(
TSX:WM, FWB:
WC7
) ("
Wallbridge
" or the "
Company
") wishes to eliminate any confusion and clarify for Wallbridge
shareholders that the Company has no association with a press release issued on
September 25,
2018
(the "
Hinterland Press Release
") by Hinterland Metals Inc. (TSX-V: HMI) ("
Hinterland
") in
which Hinterland announces the acquisition of a property it calls the "Fenelon Gold Property" located
in
Quebec's
Abitibi region.
Wallbridge wishes to make clear that the Company has no association with or interest in Hinterland
or any of Hinterland's projects and the Company has never had any discussions with Hinterland
regarding any property or business of either company. Wallbridge acquired its Fenelon Gold
Property in
October 2016
and the Wallbridge Fenelon Gold Property is not the same property that
Hinterland refers to in the Hinterland Press Release. Wallbridge management has been in contact
with Hinterland management and securities regulators in an effort to eliminate any confusion as a
result of Hinterland's disclosure.
As discussed in Wallbridge's continuous disclosures and in its most recent press release of
September 19, 2018
, management is very pleased with results and performance to date at its
Fenelon Gold Property and the potential to grow the deposit.
Wallbridge's Fenelon Gold Property is located in northwestern
Quebec
proximal to the Sunday Lake
Deformation Zone ("SLDZ") which hosts the Detour Gold Mine in
Ontario
, and Balmoral Resources'
gold deposits at Martiniere. The Fenelon Gold Property hosts the Discovery Zone gold deposit and
surrounding 4 km strike length of a gold-hosting secondary splay of the SLDZ.
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 developing its 100%-owned high-grade
Fenelon Gold
property in
Quebec
with
ongoing exploration and a bulk sample in 2018. Wallbridge is also pursuing other additional
advanced-stage projects which would add to the Company's near term project pipeline. 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 partner-funded exploration on its large portfolio of nickel, copper, and PGM projects
in
Sudbury, Ontario
, with a focus on its high-grade Parkin project.
Wallbridge also has exposure to exploration for copper and gold in
Jamaica
and
British Columbia
through its 11.3% ownership of Carube Copper Corp. (CUC:TSX-V, formerly Miocene Resources
Limited, a Wallbridge spin-out of its BC assets).

information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation and "forward-
looking statements" within the meaning of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995) relating to, among other things, the operations of Wallbridge and the environment in
which it operates. Generally, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of

variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results

relied on a number of assumptions and estimates in making such forward-looking
statements, including, without limitation, the costs associated with the development and
operation of its properties. Such assumptions and estimates are made in light of the trends
and conditions that are considered to be relevant and reasonable based on information
available and the circumstances existing at this time. A number of risk factors may cause
actual results, level of activity, performance or outcomes of such exploration and/or mine
development to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-

exploration and development efforts, changes in general economic, market and business
conditions, and those other risks set forth in Wallbridge's most recent annual information
form under the heading "Risk Factors" and in its other public filings. Forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance and such information is inherently
subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are difficult to
predict and may be beyond the control of Wallbridge. Although Wallbridge has attempted to
identify important risks and factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to
differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other
factors and risks that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or
intended. Consequently, undue reliance should not be placed on such forward-looking
statements. In addition, all forward-looking statements in this press release are given as of
the date hereof.
Wallbridge disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, save and
