Wallbridge Expands Mineralized Footprint at Martiniere

Article content material

TORONTO, Sept. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wallbridge Mining Firm Restricted (TSX: WM, OTCQX: WLBMF) (“Wallbridge” or the “Firm”) at the moment introduced that its 2023 exploration drill program has efficiently prolonged the mineralized footprint of the gold system at its 100%-owned Martiniere Gold venture (“Martiniere”) in a number of instructions past the boundaries of the 2023 Mineral Useful resource Estimate (“MRE”).

Article content material

“The targets of the 2023 Martiniere exploration drilling program have been all achieved – the mineralized footprint was expanded to the southwest and to the east of the MRE, whereas gold mineralization was additionally recognized in a lot of grassroots exploration targets inside just a few kilometres of Martiniere. These signify enticing future exploration targets for potential useful resource development,” mentioned Attila Péntek, Wallbridge’s Vice President, Exploration

Martiniere 2023 Drill Program

The principle targets of the 2023 exploration program at Martiniere have been to increase the recognized footprint of the Martiniere gold system via aggressive step-outs on recognized gold zones, and to check grassroots targets inside just a few kilometres of the deposit in the hunt for new gold zones (see Figures 1 and a pair of). Wallbridge has now accomplished its 2023 Martiniere exploration drilling program with 29 drill holes totalling roughly 17,460 meters. The targets of the drill program have been achieved: this system examined six growth targets (M1, M2, M3, M4, M10, M11) located inside 800 metres of the MRE footprint, in addition to eight grassroots targets (M5, M6, M7, M8, M9, M12, M13, M14) inside a 4.5-kilometre radius of the deposit. Right now, the Firm is reporting the outcomes for 15 drill holes (see Tables 1 and a pair of), with outcomes for the final 9 holes presently pending.

Growth Drilling Outcomes

Goal M1 – Dragonfly Zone

Constructive assay outcomes obtained for gap MDE-17-289 (extension), collared 200 metres south of gap MR-23-041 (which intersected 5.15 g/t Au over 4.00 metres, see press launch dated June 8, 2023), continued to increase the mineralized footprint of the Dragonfly Zone (beforehand known as Jap Extension) to the east of the Martiniere deposit (Goal M1 space; Determine 3). Two subsequent drill holes in the identical goal space additionally intersected massive intervals of felsic intrusive rocks much like the Bug Lake Porphyry, one of many predominant host-rocks for gold mineralization at Martiniere (assay outcomes pending). Present work goals to refine the geological interpretation and understanding of the controls on gold mineralization on the Dragonfly Zone.

Goal M4 – Martiniere Southwest Extension

Drilling at Goal M4 aimed to judge the continuation of the Martiniere West zones to the southwest (see Determine 3). Assay outcomes obtained for holes MR-23-049 and MR-23-052 (see Desk 1), confirmed the presence of great gold mineralization a number of hundred metres from the prevailing MRE footprint. Most significantly, these holes continued to intersect favorable geology and alteration, thereby offering a key goal for future useful resource growth drilling.

Goal M3 – New Zone at Depth

At Goal M3, gap MR-23-043 was designed to check the Horsefly Zone close to floor after which proceed to check the Bug Lake North space at depth, undercutting the prevailing drilling by over 300 m. The geology intersected on this gap was completely different than the drilling above, nonetheless, the broad mineralization current between 755.50 and 782.10 metres (grading 0.45 g/t Au over 26.60 metres) signifies the continuation of robust gold-bearing fluid stream pathways at depth on this space.

Grassroots Exploration Drilling Outcomes

Thus far, assay outcomes have confirmed gold mineralization in 3 of the grassroots targets. Grassroots drilling additionally focused different interpreted buildings and potential host rocks, and assays are presently pending from targets M6, M12, M13 and M14.

At Goal M5, drilling intersected new gold mineralization in Timiskaming-type conglomerate alongside the Sunday Lake Deformation Zone, indicating that this rock sort could also be a possible host rock on this belt, much like different mining camps within the Southern Abitibi.

At targets M7 and M9, gold mineralization was intersected alongside the Lac Du Doigt deformation zone, which together with different historic intersections (together with 7.05 g/t Au over 2.21 metres and 5.04 g/t Au over 1.43 metres), confirming that this fault zone extending a number of kilometres acted as a gold-bearing fluid pathway.

At goal M8, a beforehand unknown diorite physique was intersected in MR-23-050 over a number of hundred metres with occasional anomalous gold mineralization. At Fenelon, the Jeremie Diorite is a crucial unit for gold mineralization on the deposit, and as such the intersection of this unit at Martiniere represents a brand new geological goal.

Assay QA/QC and Certified Individuals

Drill core samples from the continuing drill program on the Detour-Fenelon Gold Pattern Property are reduce and bagged both on-site or by contractors and transported to SGS Canada Inc. for evaluation. Samples, together with requirements and blanks for high quality assurance and high quality management, have been ready and analyzed on the laboratories. Samples are crushed to 90% lower than 2mm. A 1kg riffle break up is pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns. 50g samples are analyzed by hearth assay and AAS or ICP. Samples >10g/t Au are routinely analyzed by hearth assay with gravimetric end or display screen metallic evaluation. To check for coarse free gold and extra high quality assurance and high quality management, Wallbridge requests display screen metallic evaluation for samples containing seen gold. These and future assay outcomes might differ once in a while resulting from re-analysis for high quality assurance and high quality management.
