Wallbridge Enters Into Definitive Custom Milling Agreement
TORONTO, March 24, 2014 /CNW/ - Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSX: WM, FWB: WC7) ("Wallbridge") today announced that it has entered into a definitive custom milling agreement with Northern Sun Mining Corp. (TSX:NSC) to provide for the custom milling of Wallbridge's Broken Hammer project at NSC's Redstone Mill in Timmins, Ontario. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Northern Sun will be responsible for the handling and milling of such ore. The agreement is for approximately a one year term based on a minimum of 800 tonnes per day and milling is expected to begin on or about June 30, 2014. The Redstone mill will generate both a gravity concentrate and a floatation concentrate which will then be conveyed to copper smelters or refinery for further treatment.
Wallbridge has now drawn the remaining $1.25M of its $2.0M Line of Credit facility with Callinan and will use those proceeds for the initial capital requirements of Broken Hammer project. Mining contractor is expected to mobilize within the next two weeks and construction is expected shortly thereafter.
