In addition to the exercise by William Day, all of the remaining 850,000 warrants issued in the April 29, 2016 private placement, will be exercised for additional consideration of $68,000.
"Wallbridge has shown its ability to successfully explore and effectively mine, and we are confident this success will continue at the Fenelon gold project and at its Sudbury properties," said Shawn Day, General Manager of William Day.
"We are very pleased that William Day and all other Warrant holders chose to fully exercise their Warrants," said Wallbridge President and CEO Marz Kord. "As one of Wallbridge's major shareholders, William Day has consistently supported our growth plans and we fully expect this positive relationship will continue in the future."

About Wallbridge Mining
Wallbridge is establishing a pipeline of projects that will support sustainable production and revenue as well as organic growth through exploration and scalability.
Wallbridge is currently preparing to develop its 100%-owned high-grade gold Fenelon Gold property in Quebec with exploration underway and a bulk sample and production decision targeted for 2017. Wallbridge is also in discussions regarding several other advanced stage projects which could become the Company's next mines. These discussions benefit from the operating capabilities Wallbridge demonstrated by safely and efficiently mining the Broken Hammer deposit in Sudbury, which was completed in October 2015.
