Wallbridge Mining Intersects 30.33 g/t Total Precious Metals and 0.50% Copper at Broken Hammer

TORONTO, May 16 /CNW/ --
TORONTO, May 16 /CNW/ - Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSX:WM, FWB:
WC7) (the 'Company') today announced additional assay results from the
drill program at the Company's Broken Hammer copper-platinum group
metals project in Sudbury. Results are reported for five holes and
include 3.90 metres of 30.33 g/t total precious metals ('TPM') (28.36 g/t platinum 1.70 g/t
palladium 0.27 g/t gold), 0.50% copper, and 0.03% nickel in hole WIS-102 and 5.90 metres of 5.37 g/t TPM (3.84 g/t platinum 1.39 g/t palladium 0.15 g/t gold),
0.21% copper, and 0.02% nickel in hole WIS-098. Results for all five holes reported in this release are tabulated
below.

These five holes are part of the current 1,600 metre drill program to
extend the mineralization to the east and north of where it is exposed
in the recently excavated bulk sample pit.

Drilling is currently underway to expand the resource in the west end of
the zone, based on the better understanding of the mineralization
gained during the excavation of the bulk sample.

The lengths quoted are core lengths. Due to the irregular geometry of
the individual veins, true width is difficult to determine accurately,
but in most cases is expected to exceed 0.7 times the core length.

Wallbridge discovered the Broken Hammer Zone as a result of an ongoing
grass roots exploration program on the North Range of the Sudbury
Basin. In November 2005, Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. estimated the NI
43-101 compliant, inferred mineral resource to be 251,000 tonnes at a
grade of 3.80 g/t total precious metals (1.56 g/t palladium, 1.62 g/t
platinum and 0.61 g/t gold), 1.00% copper and 0.10% nickel. This
resource estimate was prepared using a cut-off value of $CAN40/t, and
the then prevailing, long-term metal price projections of $US800/oz for
platinum, $US180/oz for palladium, $US400/oz for gold, $US 1.40/lb for
copper, and $US5.00 for nickel. A new resource estimate and feasibility
study will be prepared using current medium to long term metal prices,
once results of the current drilling and the bulk sampling program are
available.

Wallbridge currently holds a 98.5% interest in the Broken Hammer
Property while Xstrata Nickel retains a 1.5% carried interest with some
buy back provisions.

Samples were prepared at ALS Chemex Ltd. laboratories in Sudbury and
then shipped to their analytical facilities in Vancouver. Samples were
analyzed for Au, Pt, and Pd by standard lead collection, fire assay
fusion with an atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) finish. Samples
were analyzed for base metals, silver and trace elements using a four
acid (HNO3-HCIO4-HF and HCI) near total digestion and a combination of
ICP-MS and ICP-AES finish.

largest concentration of nickel deposits and is currently the most
active mining camp in North America. Major joint venture partners in
Sudbury include Xstrata Nickel, Lonmin Plc and Impala Platinum Holdings
Limited. Wallbridge also has a major shareholding in Duluth Metals
Limited, which has defined a large copper-nickel-PGE resource in the
rapidly emerging Duluth Complex base metal camp in Minnesota. Duluth
Metals is advancing this resource through feasibility in joint venture
with Antofagasta plc, one of the worlds major copper
producers. Wallbridge also holds a significant shareholding Miocene
Metals Limited, which was formed to finance the exploration of a
portfolio of copper-gold-molybdenum properties in southwestern BC.
