Wolfden Commences Diamond Drilling on its Tetagouche Project, New Brunswick

THUNDER BAY, ON, Oct. 21, 2014 /CNW/ - Wolfden Resources Corp. (WLF:TSX-V) ("Wolfden" or the "Company") today announces the commencement of diamond drilling on the Company's Tetagouche property (the "Property"). The Property, comprising greater than 20,000 hectares, is located in the Bathurst Mining Camp ("BMC"), 25 kilometres west of the City of Bathurst in north-eastern New Brunswick.

Specifically, the drilling program will test two (2) target areas known as Rocky Turn and V10. A summary of the work completed and drilling targets defined, on each of the 2 target area follows.

Rocky Turn Target Area:

The Rocky Turn massive sulphide deposit contains a historical resource of 130,000 tonnes at a grade of 8.43% Zn, 2.69% Pb, 0.28% Cu, 101 g/t Ag and 3.1 g/t Au. Outside of drilling completed in the immediate locale of the deposit, the on-strike extensions of the deposit have not been tested by drilling.  A Max-Min electromagnetic survey (EM) completed by Wolfden, defined a 400-metre long conductor situated to the east of the deposit. The signature of this EM anomaly is similar to  the signature associated with the Rocky Turn deposit (see Figure 1).  Historic Pb-Zn-Cu soil anomalies are also coincident with this conductor that together, comprise a prime drilling target. Drilling is underway, with two to three drill holes planned to provide an initial drill test of this target area.

V10 Target Area:

The primary goal of the 2014 exploration program on the Property was to find a bedrock source for numerous high-grade massive sulphide boulder clusters located in the V10 target area (on the Tetagouche property) and down-ice from it, on adjacent properties.  At V10, recent massive sulphide boulder discoveries yielded bonanza grades of 19.80% Zn, 3.88% Pb, 0.33% Cu, 649 g/t Ag and 1.08 g/t Au as well as 20.10% Zn, 4.20% Pb, 0.33% Cu, 694 g/t Ag and 0.88 g/t Au².

During 2014, Wolfden completed ground geophysical surveys (Max-Min EM, gravity and magnetic surveys) soil sampling and geological mapping to help source the high-grade boulders.  The surveys have uncovered 2 broad, in-situ chlorite-sericite alteration zones in felsic volcanics as well as several gravity, EM and Pb-Zn-Cu soil geochemical anomalies in the V10 locale (see Figures 2 & 3).  Based on the close spatial relationship of the massive sulphide boulders with mapped alteration zones, gravity, EM and soil geochemical anomalies (located up-ice and/or upslope from the boulders), the Company is of the view that the V10 area is very prospective as a bedrock source for the high-grade massive sulphide boulders referred to above.

It is anticipated that 8 to 9 drill holes totaling 2,000 to 2,500 metres will be utilized to test these numerous targets.  Drilling at V10 will commence immediately after the Rocky Turn program is completed.

Drill results will be released as they become available.
