Metres and Reaches First Mining Level at

Fenelon

TORONTO

July 25, 2018

/CNW/ -

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

("Wallbridge" or the "Company")

is pleased to announce positive initial results from its

underground drill program 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").

Highlights

To date, 25 drill holes have been completed totaling nearly 2,500 metres.

Visible gold was observed to be present in 18 drill holes.

Full assay results of only the first 4 holes have been received so far with highlights as follows:

18-1030-006:

15.91 g/t gold over 2.41 metres

in the Chipotle zone

18-1030-007:

16.72 g/t gold over 1.40 metres

in the Chipotle zone

18-1030-008:

9.27 g/t gold over 3.59 metres

, including

17.37 g/t gold over 1.58 metres

the Chipotle zone

18-1030-009:

35.91 g/t gold over 3.42 metres

, including

63.33 g/t gold over 1.70 metres

the Paprika zone.

Assay results from additional 21 drill holes are pending.

The 18,000 metres drilling program from underground and surface is planned to continue until

December 2018

, results of which will be disclosed continuously.

Reached the first mining level (5195 Level) with first stope production expected in August

"The progress of our bulk sample is on budget and schedule and importantly without any safety or

environmental issues. Since initiating our exploration program in early June of this year, which so far

has included nearly 2,500 metres of underground drilling, we have continued to refine and increase

the confidence in our geological model and confirm the kind of grades we expect to deliver from this

bulk sample," stated

Marz Kord

, President & CEO of Wallbridge. "We are quite excited with the

high-grade intersections in these first 25 holes, 18 of which have visible gold. Due to their high-grade

nature, a more robust assaying technique is needed, namely screen metallic, and as such assaying

takes longer. We are eagerly awaiting the results of the rest of the drilled holes and look forward to

continuation of the drilling which is planned for the rest of 2018. Over the next several months, we

expect to continue to demonstrate the significant growth potential of Fenelon."

The bulk sample program is designed to test six to seven stopes in several zones. Expected overall

grade from these planned stopes is estimated to be 18 to 25 g/t gold. The geology team has

developed an extensive sampling program to characterize the mineralized material during this bulk

sample. Chip samples are collected from a sampling line across each development face and muck

samples are also taken in a regular pattern on surface.

Drilling to date from the 5213 exploration drift has mainly targeted the Chipotle and Naga Viper

zones in the upper

100 m

, between levels 5132 and 5213. So far, six stopes have been drilled-off to

the planned 6 to

7 m

nominal spacing providing good confirmation of the geological model and

continuity of the high-grade shoots. Drilling is now focusing on four additional stopes in the Naga

Viper zone, including the high-grade shoot discovered last year with intersections that included 260.4

g/t Au over 7.02 metres, 141.2 g/t gold over 7.06 metres and 311.1 g/t gold over 3.06 metres (see

Wallbridge Press Release dated

December 13, 2017

"Drilling so far has confirmed our modeling of the high-grade shoots and provides us with sufficient

information now to optimize the stopes to be taken during the bulk sample. We continue defining

high-grade shoots for future production, including some in the Naga Viper and Habanero zones

discovered just last year. It will be an exciting phase of in-fill and resource expansion drilling. We will

release results of this program as frequently as we receive assays results."

Deeper drilling to test the down-plunge of known high-grade shoots is planned for Q4 of 2018 once

the lower levels are developed.

A 10,000 metre surface drilling program is also scheduled to start in the latter part of this year to

follow known mineralized zones and expand resources at depth and further away from the mine

workings.

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 33 drill

holes totalling 6,348 metres in three surface exploration drilling campaigns at Fenelon. Drilling

significantly extended existing zones and discovered several new parallel zones (see

Wallbridge Press Release dated

December 13, 2017

). The current 35,000 tonne bulk sample and

underground drilling program is designed to provide the information needed to make a production

decision by Q1 2019.

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. For samples >10g/t Au, 50g is

automatically analyzed by fire assay with gravimetric finish. 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

. Wallbridge is

also continuing partner-funded exploration on its large portfolio of nickel, copper, and PGM projects

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 11.5% ownership of Carube Copper Corp. (CUC:TSX-V, formerly Miocene Resources

Limited, a Wallbridge spin-out of its BC assets).

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
