Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSX:WM, FWB: WC7) (the "Wallbridge") today announced that all of the holders of the April 2016 private placement warrants including William Day Construction Limited and William Day Holdings Limited ("William Day") have exercised their warrants. William Day has filed an early warning report ("Report") announcing that, on April 27, 2017, it acquired 5,000,000 common shares ("Common Shares") of Wallbridge Mining Company Limited ("Wallbridge" or the "Issuer") through the exercise of warrants (the "Warrants") at an exercise price of $0.08 per Warrant for total consideration of $400,000 (the "Acquisition"). 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."

The Acquisition represents approximately 2.1% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Issuer post exercise. Prior to the Acquisition, William Day owned 21,722,050 Common Shares of the Issuer representing approximately 9.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Issuer. In addition, William Day owns 11,722,050 additional Common Share purchase warrants (the "2019 Warrants") to purchase an aggregate of 11,722,050 Common Shares of the Issuer. A total of 7,025,050 of the 2019 Warrants are exerciseable at $0.10 until August 19, 2019 and 4,697,000 of the 2019 Warrants are exerciseable at $0.12 until October 4, 2019. Following the Acquisition, William Day owns 26,722,050 Common Shares of the Issuer representing approximately 11.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Issuer on a non-diluted basis, and approximately 15.7% on a partially diluted basis.

William Day has acquired the Common Shares of the Issuer for investment purposes and William Day may, depending on market and other conditions, increase or decrease its beneficial ownership, control or direction over the Common Shares or other securities of the Issuer, through market transactions, private agreements, treasury issuances, exercise of convertible securities or otherwise.

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.

Wallbridge is also continuing active partner-funded exploration on its large portfolio of nickel, copper, and PGM projects in Sudbury, Ontario. Currently, Wallbridge is completing a 20,000 metre fully partner-funded drilling program on its high-grade Parkin nickel-copper-PGM project.

Wallbridge also has exposure to active exploration for copper and gold in Jamaica and British Columbia through its 13% ownership of Carube Copper Corp. ("Carube Copper") (CUC:TSX-V, formerly Miocene Resources Limited).
