Wallbridge Identifies Additional Gold Mineralization Within Fenelon Resource Footprint And
Expands Area 51 Zone To The Southwest
Toronto, Ontario – April 07, 2022 – Wallbridge Mining Company L imited (TSX:WM,
OTCQX:WLBMF) (“Wallbridge” or the “Company” ) today reported positive assay results from the
ongoing drill program at the Fenelon gold project (“ Fenelon”), including newly identified areas of
mineralization within and surrounding the existing resource footprint on the Company’s Detour-Fenelon Gold
Trend Property in Northwestern Quebec.
“Today’s results include additional high-quality gold in tercepts inside the 2021 mineral resource estimate
(“MRE”) footprint, demonstrating the potential to continue growing the size and quality of Fenelon’s existing
gold resource. A good example of this is drill hole FA-22-405, which identified a previously unknown area of
near-surface mineralization in the Ta basco zone, including one intercept of 4.89 g/t Au over 11.00 metres”
said Attila Péntek, Wallbridge’s Vice President, Explora tion. “The continuity of the deposit was reinforced
through results such as drill hole FA-20-159-W6, which included 1.73 g/t Au o ver 67.70 metres. Several
intersections reported today also demonstrate that th ere is strong potential to expand the resource laterally,
while the exploration drill holes have provided important information about the geology surrounding the
known deposit, as we look to identify satellite deposits and new mineralized zones.”
Fenelon Resource Drilling
Within 2021 MRE footprint
One of the primary objectives of the Company’s 2022 Fenelon dri ll program, as outlined in Wallbridge’s
News Release dated January 10, 2022 is to delineate additional resour ces within the known footprint of the
deposit to support future economic studies and an updated resource estimate for 2023. The Company has two
to three drill rigs allocated to this program. Recent highlight intersections from this program include:
FA-20-159-W6 1.73 g/t Au over 67.70 metres , including
2 . 6 4 g / t A u o v e r 1 2 . 0 0 m e t r e s, and
7.33 g/t Au over 6.75 metres in the Area 51 zone;
49.07 g/t Au over 1.00 metre,
2.71 g/t Au over 12.40 metres, and
22.83 g/t Au over 2.05 metres in the Tabasco-Cayenne zones.
FA-22-405 4.89 g/t Au over 11.00 metres , including
21.87 g/t Au over 2.00 metres in the Tabasco Zone, at a shallow vertical
depth of only 60 metres in a previously unknown area of mineralization.

Lateral expansion from 2021 MRE
The current drill program is also focusing on expanding the res ource laterally, in directions where the
mineralization is open. Data from this drilling will support future economic studies in determining the optimal
mining configuration of the project. The Company has three to f our drill rigs allocated to this program and
recent highlight intersections include:
FA-21-379 5.21 g/t Au over 5.00 metres, including
38.00 g/t Au over 0.60 metres, in Area 51, 100 metres southwest of 2021
MRE.
FA-21-382 44.41 g/t Au over 0.50 metres in Area 51, 200 metres southwest of 2021
MRE.
FA-21-390 0.51 g/t Au over 206.60 metres, including
1.15 g/t Au over 9.50 metres, and
2.11 g/t Au over 6.80 metres, and
2.33 g/t Au over 5.40 metres in the Ripley Zone, 1.2 kilometres south of
2021 MRE.
FA-21-384 0.54 g/t Au over 40.50 metres, including
1.23 g/t Au over 6.50 metres in the Ripley Zone, 1.0 kilometre south of
2021 MRE.
Fenelon Exploration Drilling
As part of the ongoing drill program, Wallbridge completed expl oration drilling in late 2021 to gain a better
understanding of the geology surro unding the known Fenelon depo sit and to find suitable geologic
environments that can host new gold zones and satellite deposit s. Lacking surface outcrops, this program is
largely guided by detailed unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) geophysical magnetic survey data that has proven
very effective in identifying host rocks and potentially gold-bearing structures.
Fifteen of the drill holes released today (FA-21-319, -323, -32 5, -330, -332, -335, -339, -352, -354, -357, -
363, -367, -369, -372, -377) targeted airborne magnetic feature s resembling the signature of the Jeremie
Diorite, one of the main host rocks of the Fenelon deposit. The results will assist in better defining the shape
of this geologic unit and in finding western and northwestern e xtensions of this diorite body that may host
gold mineralization. This program resulted in an improved 3D mo del of the Jeremie Diorite in the area 500
metres to two kilometres west o f the Fenelon deposit and new go ld mineralization was encountered in drill
hole FA-21-357.
Four drill holes released today (FA-21-327, -337, -351, -373) w ere drilled to locate the Sunday Lake
Deformation Zone and to help interpret the geologic and structu ral features up to 2.3 kilometres west of the
Ripley gold zone. New gold mineralization was encountered in drill hole FA-21-327.

Four drill holes (FA-21-329, -333, -341, -350) were drilled to locate the Sunday Lake Deformation Zone and
to help interpret the geologic and structural features 300 metr es east of the Ripley gold zone. New gold
mineralization was encountered in all four drill holes.
Final assay results from 72 drill holes and partial results of six holes of the 2021/2022 Fenelon drill program
are reported in the Table and Figures below. All figures and a table with drill hole information of recently
completed holes are posted on the Company’s website under “Curr ent Program”
