Wallbridge Resource Drilling Continues to

Intersect High-Grade Gold at Fenelon Property

TORONTO

June 24, 2019

/CNW/ -

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

("Wallbridge" or the "Company")

today announced continued high-grade gold assays from the

ongoing resource drill program at its 100%-owned Fenelon Gold property ("Fenelon" or the

"Property").

Drilling in Fenelon's Main Gabbro area continues to successfully follow high-grade shoots,

particularly in the Naga Viper and Cayenne zones in proximity and below the existing underground

workings. Since the last press release (see

Wallbridge Press Release dated

May 21, 2019

), 7,500

metres of resource drilling has been completed and assay results from 13 resource drill holes have

been received with highlights as follows:

19-0970-001:

64.69 g/t gold over 0.50 metre

(0.45 metre estimated true width) in the Naga Viper zone,

19-1035-003:

16.66 g/t gold over 2.33 metres

(2.12 metre estimated true width) in the Naga Viper zone,

18-1035-019:

14.67 g/t gold over 1.00 metre

(0.70 metre estimated true width) in the Habanero zone

19-0985-003:

17.93 g/t gold over 0.65 metre

(0.50 metre estimated true width) in the Naga Viper zone,

The Naga Viper zone continues to be intersected in all underground drill holes targeting the Main

Gabbro with the occurrence of visible gold noted in several of the holes. Assays are currently

pending for three of these visible gold-bearing intervals.

Visible gold was also observed in several intersections of the Cayenne zone, just south of the

Main Gabbro. Assays are currently pending for two of these intervals.

"These extensions of high-grade shoots in the Naga Viper zone have good potential for adding

resources in the vicinity of the existing mine workings, which will be important in the first phase of

commercial gold production at Fenelon," stated Attila Péntek, Vice President Exploration of

Wallbridge.

One underground drill rig is currently active on tightly-spaced resource drilling, completing 15 to 30

metre step-outs on known mineralization within the Main Gabbro down to 350 metres depth, below

the area where the Company completed the 2018/2019 bulk sample. In addition to the resource

expansion program, over 13,000 metres of exploration drilling have been completed in 2019 and

these results will be announced in separate press releases from the resource drilling results. Assays

are pending for 25 resource drill holes, including five with visible gold; results from the 13

underground drill holes of the 2019 resource drill program and one 2018 drill hole received to date

are reported in Tables 1 and 2 and also shown on the

Figure

below as well as on the

Company website

(1)

Table includes only drill holes for which assay results are announced in this press release or are pending. For earlier holes please refer to tables in previous press

releases.

(2)

Drill holes containing visible gold ("VG") or chalcopyrite-bearing mineralized shear zone ("CP").

Fenelon 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 Martinière.

Secondary splays of the SLDZ transect the Property over two to four-kilometre strike lengths and

have controlled the emplacement of a significant gold system along the Jeremie Pluton and within a

mafic-ultramafic sill referred to as the Main Gabbro.

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

and a positive pre-feasibility study on the resource that existed in the Main Gabbro prior to any

drilling by the Company. Wallbridge has undertaken successful surface exploration drilling campaigns

in 2017, 2018 and 2019, and has recently completed an underground 35,000-tonne bulk sample at

Fenelon. Drilling to date has significantly extended existing zones, located additional parallel zones,

and discovered a new gold system associated to the Jeremie Pluton referred to as Area 51.

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.

ongoing exploration and a recently-completed 35,000-tonne bulk sample. Wallbridge is also pursuing

additional advanced-stage projects which would add to the Company's near-term project pipeline.

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).

This press release may contain forward-looking statements (including "forward-looking

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

"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
