Wallbridge Mining Initiates Drilling on Parkin Offset Dyke
TORONTO, Sept. 22 /CNW/ - Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSX:WM; FWB:
WC7) today announced that its $5 million joint venture with Impala Platinum
Holdings Limited ("Impala") has received the necessary South African Reserve
Bank approvals and drilling has been initiated on the Parkin Offset Dyke
Properties in Sudbury, Ontario.
Drilling has been started with two drills, and a total of over 8,000
metres of diamond drilling is planned between now and March 2009. The drilling
will test for down plunge extensions of both the past producing Milnet Mine
and mineralization previously defined by Wallbridge on its Parkin Property, as
well as targets on Wallbridge's newly acquired Champion Bear Resources Joint
Venture.
Under terms of the joint venture Impala will spend $5M over three years
to earn a 50% interest in the properties. Impala can then increase its
interest to 65% by funding a Feasibility Study and securing Wallbridge's
portion of the development funding through to commercial production on a
project loan basis.
Commenting on the joint venture Alar Soever, President of Wallbridge
stated, "It is our portfolio of high quality properties and joint ventures
with strong partners like Impala that allow us to maintain a high level of
activity in spite of the current investment climate."
The Qualified Person responsible for the technical content of this press
release is Bruce Jago, PhD. P.Geo, Vice-President, Exploration of Wallbridge
Mining Company Limited.
