Wallbridge Mining Completes Delivery of Broken Hammer Bulk Sample to Strathcona Mill

28.06.2011  |  CNW

TORONTO, June 28, 2011 /CNW/ --
TORONTO, June 28, 2011 /CNW/ - Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSX:
WM) (FWB: WC7) (the 'Company') today announced that it had completed
delivery of 30,500 tonnes of material from its Broken Hammer
platinum-palladium-copper deposit to Xstrata`s Strathcona Mill for
processing.  Currently the material is scheduled for batch processing
next month.  This will determine the metallurgical recoveries and allow
for final determination grade, mining dilution and fines losses.  A new
resource estimate and feasibility study will be prepared using current
medium to long term metal prices, once results of the bulk sampling
program and the recently completed drill program are available.


'Successful delivery of the bulk sample completes another step along the
road to development of the Broken Hammer deposit', stated Alar Soever,
President and CEO of Wallbridge, 'Technica Mining, and our staff have
done an excellent job in working together to advance this project.'


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. 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.

release is Mark Croteau P.Geo., Operations Manager for Wallbridge
