Wolfden Commences Diamond Drilling at Rice Island, Snow Lake Greenstone Belt, Manitoba

THUNDER BAY, ON, Oct. 7, 2015 /CNW/ - Wolfden Resources Corporation (WLF:TSX-V) ("Wolfden" or the "Company") today announces that diamond drilling is underway on the Rice Island property (the "Property"). The 100%-owned Property consisting of 496 hectares, is located 10 kilometres south-southeast of the Town of Snow Lake in west-central Manitoba. Accordingly, it is well-located with respect to infrastructure including power, labour force, access, and mineral processing facilities, situated in the well-established mining communities of Snow Lake and Flin Flon.

To date, the Company has completed 4 drill holes totalling 719 metres that comprise the initial segment of a first-phase 3,000-metre drill program, planned for the Property (see Wolfden news release dated September 15, 2015). The purpose of the first-phase drill program is to confirm the grade, configuration and nature of nickel-copper mineralization encountered in historic drilling with the goal of defining an economically significant magmatic nickel-copper deposit.

All of the 4 drill holes completed to-date have intersected semi-massive and massive sulphide mineralization comprising pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pentlandite, enveloped by wider intervals of blebby, disseminated and stringer sulphide mineralization.  Drill results will be released as they become available. 

Additionally, the Company has completed an airborne geophysical survey that will be used to define additional targets on claims held in the area.
