Canada NewsWire

THUNDER BAY, ON, Dec. 9, 2013 /CNW/ – Wolfden Resources Corporation (WLF:TSX-V) (“Wolfden” or the Company“) is pleased to announce the signing of a definitive purchase agreement
(the “Agreement“) regarding the purchase by Wolfden of a large strategic land package
situated in the Bathurst Mining Camp in north-eastern New Brunswick.
comprising land holdings totaling more than 20,000 hectares (the “Property“) (see Wolfden news release dated November 20, 2013). The Bathurst
Mining Camp contains over 30 massive sulphide deposits including the
Brunswick No. 12 zinc-lead-silver deposit; a testament to its
world-class endowment and mineral potential.

The Property:

The Property adjoins Wolfden’s Armstrong Brook property immediately to
the west of it and contains a number of untested, up-ice, airborne
electromagnetic anomalies (MegaTEM & Aerodat frequency-domain surveys),
that may potentially host some of the bonanza-grade boulders on the
Armstrong Brook property (see attached Image 1). In addition, the Property contains 5 historic massive sulphide
deposits and numerous mineral occurrences including the Armstrong A, Armstrong B, Rocky Turn, McMaster and Canoe Landing Lake
deposits
. The area is well served with access infrastructure and the Brunswick No.
12 mill is located approximately 25 kilometres to the east of the
Property.
Historic resources are documented for these deposits in the table
below.

DEPOSIT TONNAGE %ZN %PB %CU G/T AG G/T AU
Armstrong A 3,377,000 3.26 0.42 0.29 25.37 0.41
Armstrong B 488,583 1.10 0.23 0.67 13.71 0.10
Rocky Turn 131,000 8.43 2.69 0.28 101.00 3.10
Canoe Landing Lake 22,800,000 1.82 0.64 0.56 32.23 1.17
McMaster 250,000 0.75

All of the deposits are historic mineral resources that are not
compliant with National Instrument 43-101 and cannot be relied upon for
valuation purposes. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to
classify the above historic resources as current mineral resources and
accordingly, the Company is not treating the historical estimates as
current mineral resources.

Wolfden intends to complete ground geophysical surveys early in 2014,
detailing the up-ice airborne electromagnetic anomalies as potential
sources for the massive sulphide boulders on the adjacent Armstrong
property situated to the east (see attached Image 2). It also plans on further exploring the Spruce Lake formation (“SLF”), a favourable felsic volcanic sequence that occurs over a minimum 25
kilometre strike-length on the Property. Notably, deposits including
the Rocky Turn and McMaster deposits hosted within the SLF were last
drilled in the 1960’s and to relatively shallow depths.

George Topping, Wolfden’s CEO, said, “This massive increase in Wolfden’s
property holdings dramatically increases our exploration
opportunities. This property addition provides accelerated development
options as it adds several known deposits with existing resources as
well as multiple highly prospective targets in one of Canada’s most
prolific yet underexplored mining camps. ”

The Transaction:

Wolfden acquired the Property from 8100896 Canada Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of GeoVenCap Inc. (collectively the “Vendors”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Wolfden has agreed to purchase
all of the Vendors’ right, title and interest to and in the Property
for cash consideration of $125,000 and $100,000 in common shares of
Wolfden. The closing date of the transaction is expected to occur on or
about December 11, 2013 and is subject to the receipt of an approval
and vesting order from the Superior Court (Commercial Division) in
Qu bec and satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions typical for a
transaction of this nature. The transaction has been approved by the
TSX Venture Exchange.
