Wolfden Announces Additional Drill Results and Large-Loop EM Results at Rice Island, Snow Lake Greenstone Belt, Manitoba

THUNDER BAY, ON, Jan. 19, 2016 /CNW/ - Wolfden Resources Corporation (WLF: TSX-V) ("Wolfden" or the "Company") is pleased to announce additional assay results from diamond drilling on the Company's 100%-owned Rice Island property (the "Property"), located approximately 10 kilometres southeast of the Town on Snow Lake in west-central Manitoba. The drilling continues to confirm the potential of the Rice Island deposit with every drill hole completed to date by the Company since the inception of the project (19 drill holes in all), intersecting semi-massive and massive sulphides containing high-grade nickel and copper mineralization. (See news releases dated October 26, 2015, November 17, 2015 and December 16, 2015 for details of prior drill results.)

Rice Island Drill Results:

Drill holes RI-15-16 through RI-15-19 were step-out holes intended to expand on the limits of known mineralization at the Main Zone. Each of the holes intersected the Main Zone highlighted by drill intersections of 1.23% nickel and 0.67% copper over 10.20 metres in hole RI-15-18 and 1.34% Ni and 1.06% copper over 5.70 metres in hole RI-15-16. Summary drill results for all 4 of the recently completed drill holes are documented in the table below.

Note 1: True widths are estimated at 70-90% of core width

Note 2:  Sample analyses performed by Actlabs Ltd. of Thunder Bay, Ontario utilizing the 4 Acid ICP-OES method; a 0.25 g sample is digested with hydrofluoric acid followed by a mixture of nitric and perchloric acid; the sample is then dried and brought back into solution using aqua regia; the sample is then analyzed using Agilent 735 ICP instrumentation

The Main zone comprises semi-massive to massive pyrrhotite, pendlandite and chalcopyrite hosted within gabbro-norite situated at the base of a gabbro intrusion underlain by sedimentary rocks. The Main zone is overlain by a broader zone of disseminated and blebby nickel-copper sulphide mineralization as documented in the table above.

Large-Loop EM Results:

Prior to year-end 2015, a large-loop electromagnetic survey (LLEM) was completed in the locale of the Rice Island deposit in efforts to delineate potential satellite, parallel or deeper deposits outside of the known Main Zone of nickel-copper mineralization. The LLEM provides greater depth penetration and anomaly resolution than does the airborne VTEM survey, where-in a previous survey completed by Wolfden, had defined a conductor in the immediate locale of the Rice Island deposit.

Modeling of the LLEM survey data revealed two (2) late and mid-time electromagnetic responses representing strong conductors located below and immediately to the west of the Rice Island deposit. These targets will be immediate priorities upon the resumption of diamond drilling in the winter of 2016, in efforts to discover additional zones of mineralization. In addition to the strong conductors a larger, weak to moderate conductor was delineated, also located to the west of the Rice Island deposit.

Additional drilling efforts in the coming weeks will also focus on expanding the New Lower Zone (NLZ), discovered in December of 2015 (see Wolfden news release dated December 16, 2015). Drilling completed on the NLZ returned intercepts of 1.14% nickel and 0.70% copper over 14.10 metres (RI-15-13) as well as 1.07% nickel and 0.83% copper over 6.1 metres (RI-15-14). Drilling will also be undertaken at a high-priority target situated 5 kilometres northeast of the Rice Island deposit, comprising a coincident conductor and magnetic high defined by the airborne VTEM survey. This VTEM anomaly has a similar geophysical signature to that of the Rice Island nickel-copper deposit.

In other news, Wolfden announces that George Topping, CEO, is no longer with the Company. Donald Hoy, President and a director of Wolfden will assume the vacant position in the role of President and Acting Chief Executive Officer.
