Wallbridge Mining Annual General Meeting to be held at Dynamic Earth in Sudbury
TORONTO, April 15 /CNW/ - Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSX:WM, FWB: WC7) (the "Company") announces that their Annual General Meeting of Shareholders will be held at Dynamic Earth in the Atlas Copco Theatre in Sudbury on Tuesday, April 20th at 4:30p.m. The Dynamic Earth - Atlas Copco Theatre is located at 122 Big Nickel Road in Sudbury. The agenda includes a formal shareholder meeting followed by presentations from management on the Company's progress over the past year. These include:
- The discovery of a new zone of copper-nickel-PGM mineralization on
the Parkin Offset dyke in Sudbury. The initial intersection on this
zone assayed 8.00 grams per tonne TPM (1.50 g/t platinum + 2.52 g/t
palladium + 3.99 g/t gold), 2.57 % copper and 0.78 % nickel over
14.24 metres
- The Company's interest in its spin-out company Duluth Metals Limited
maturing from an exploration stage company to a well-funded
feasibility stage company with the announcement of a joint venture
between Duluth and Antofagasta plc. This joint venture with one of
the world's major copper producers, brought market recognition to the
project and will see the project funded through bankable feasibility
and permitting.
- The Company acquiring a portfolio of porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum
properties in BC. The BC property portfolio includes Wallbridge's
Rogers Creek Cu-Au-Mo property plus six other recently acquired
properties in Southwestern BC. The properties were acquired over a
newly recognized belt of Miocene-age intrusive rocks which are highly
prospective for Cu-Au-Mo mineralization. These properties are
currently being spun out of Wallbridge into a new company, Miocene
Metals Limited, in a transaction modeled after the successful spin-
out of its Minnesota properties into Duluth Metals Limited.
For those unable to attend in person, a transcript of the remarks and the accompanying PowerPoint presentation will be posted on the Wallbridge website at www.wallbridgemining.com.
