Wallbridge Mining Defines Large IP Target on Rogers Creek Porphyry Copper-Gold
Property

TORONTO, July 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Wallbridge Mining Company Limited
(TSX: WM, FWB: WC7) announced today that a large Induced Polarization
chargeability anomaly has been defined on its Rogers Creek porphyry
copper-gold-molybdenum property in SW British Columbia. The anomaly covers a
north-south distance of at least 400 metres and is approximately 1000 metres
wide. Its top is between 100-200 metres below surface and it extends to depth.
The response is typical of porphyry style mineralization.
This IP chargeability anomaly is centred immediately to the west of an
intrusive breccia pipe known as Target 1, beneath an area which hosts a number
of surface copper-gold-silver occurrences. Gold, copper and silver (Au, Cu and
Ag) soil geochemical anomalies have also been defined on the northern flank of
the breccia pipe.
"The progress we have made on this property is exceptional", stated Alar
Soever, President of Wallbridge Mining, "It has rapidly progressed from an
exploration concept to the point where we now have a large, high quality drill
target within a very large system."
The anomaly was defined by a recent IP program, carried out by Abitibi
Geophysics, which covers a six by two kilometre area which contains numerous
copper-gold occurrences as well as a number of other features indicative of a
large mineralizing system. The purpose of the IP survey was to test for
mineralization within and around the periphery of the Target 1 and 2 breccia
pipes. The Target 1 breccia pipe consists of a variety of highly altered
breccia rock types containing mineralized and non-mineralized rock clasts and
is intruded by a highly altered feldspar-porphyry stock discovered while
prospecting early in 2009. Figure 1, which can be viewed on our website at
www.wallbridgemining.com illustrates the location of the IP anomaly as well as
the distribution of mineral showings around Targets 1 and 2.
Figure 2, which can be viewed on our website at www.wallbridgemining.com,
illustrates results from Line 10200, which crosses Target 1, 300 metres south
of the Poirier showing, and highlights the size of the chargeability anomaly,
and its relationship to at-surface geology and Cu, Au and Ag mineralization.

release is Bruce Jago, PhD. P.Geo, Vice-President, Exploration of Wallbridge
Mining Company Limited.
