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. 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
. As part of this strategy, the
Company recently optioned the Beschefer Project, an advanced gold property with proven size and
grade-potential near Fenelon Gold. 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

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

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.
