Wallbridge Extends Tabasco Zone with Visible

Gold to Over 300 m Depth

TORONTO

Nov. 20, 2018

/CNW/ -

Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSX:WM, FWB: WC7)

("Wallbridge"

or the "Company"

)

is pleased to announce continued positive results from its

underground as well as surface drill programs and to provide an update on the ongoing development

as part of the 35,000-tonne bulk sample and underground exploration program at its 100%-owned

Fenelon Gold Property ("Fenelon" or "Property").

Highlights

All six surface holes intersected mineralized shear zones with the deepest hole intersecting

visible gold.

Surface drill hole FA-18-038 intersected two mineralized shear zones, including an

approximately 1 metre interval with several pinheads of visible gold, at

325 m

vertical depth in

what is currently interpreted to be the down-dip extension of the Tabasco zone. This is the

deepest occurrence of visible gold-bearing mineralization drilled so far at Fenelon.

Visible gold was observed to be present in 49 of 83 underground holes and drilling is currently

testing the down-plunge of the main mineralized zones down to

200 m

depth.

Since the last press release (see

Wallbridge Press Release dated

November 05, 2018

highlights of received assay results are as follows:

18-1020-005:

18.99 g/t gold over 2.62 metres in the Chipotle zone

18-1020-006:

14.77 g/t gold over 4.26 metres in the Habanero zone

18-0990-020:

5.48 g/t gold over 7.65 metres including

44.90 g/t gold over 0.48 metres in the Naga Viper zone, and

6.29 g/t gold over 5.98 metres in the Habanero zone

18-0990-021:

6.34 g/t gold over 5.92 metres in the Habanero zone

18-0990-024:

7.17 g/t gold over 5.39 metres in the Habanero zone

Assay results from 17 underground drill holes and five surface drill holes are pending.

Production from the third and fourth stopes (CH-02 and NV-02) is underway.

Over 16,000 tonnes of ore has been mined of which 13,500 tonnes have been shipped to the

Camflo mill.

"It is very encouraging that our first deep hole of the program returned such a strongly mineralized

intersection, especially given that it is the deepest visible gold occurrence on the Property ever

drilled. Being at over

300 m

depth and approximately

350 m

west of the current underground

development, this intersection opens up a large area for future resource expansion" stated Attila

Péntek, Vice-President, Exploration of Wallbridge. "After a slow start of the surface program caused

by weather-related delays, we now have two surface drill rigs and one underground drill turning to

build resources and test deep targets."

The bulk sample program is designed to test a few stopes in several zones. Overall grade from

these planned stopes is estimated to average 18 to 25 g/t gold for total estimated production of

19,000 to 26,000 ounces of gold with close to 50% of gold priced at

C$1,720

per ounce. The

expected cash flow upon completion of this bulk sample, net of all bulk sample costs and including

the financing costs, is expected to be sufficient to cover the budgeted working capital requirements.

In the next few weeks, underground drilling will target the main high-grade shoots down-plunge to

200 m

depth. Surface drilling will follow known mineralized zones and expand resources to 300-

400

depth and further away from the mine workings.

A summary of the drill hole results from the underground drilling are reported in Tables 1 and 2 and

also shown on the

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.

Since acquiring the property in late 2016, Wallbridge has completed an updated resource estimate

and a positive pre-feasibility study on the existing resource (see

Wallbridge Press Release dated

February 02, 2017

). In addition, Wallbridge has completed surface

exploration drilling campaigns and is currently drilling from underground as part of its 35,000-tonne

bulk sample at Fenelon. Drilling to date has significantly extended existing zones and discovered

several new parallel zones.

Drill core samples from the ongoing drill program at Fenelon were cut and bagged on site and

transported to SGS Canada Inc. Samples, along with standards, blanks, and duplicates included for

quality assurance and quality control, were prepared and analyzed at SGS Canada Inc. laboratories.

Samples are crushed to 90% less than 2mm. A 1kg riffle split is pulverized to >95% passing 106

microns. 50g samples are analyzed by fire assay and AAS. Samples >10g/t Au are automatically

analyzed by fire assay with gravimetric finish or screen metallic analysis. To test for coarse free gold

and for additional quality assurance and quality control, Wallbridge requests screen metallic analysis

for samples containing visible gold. These and future assay results may vary from time to time due

to re-analysis for quality assurance and quality control.

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

. 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).

which it operates. Generally, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of

words such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled",

"estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or

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

"may", "could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved". Wallbridge has

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-

looking statements including, without limitation, whether such discoveries will result in

commercially viable quantities of such mineralized materials, the possibility of changes to

project parameters as plans continue to be refined, the ability to execute planned

exploration and future drilling programs, the need for additional funding to continue

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

except as may be required by applicable securities laws. The forward-looking statements

contained herein are expressly qualified by this disclaimer.
