Wallbridge Mining to Bulk Sample Broken Hammer Platinum Group Resource with Technica Group Inc.

TORONTO, Dec. 14 /PRNewswire/ - Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSX:WM, FWB: WC7) (the "Company") today announced that it had signed a Letter of Intent to enter into an agreement with Technica Group Inc. for the purpose of extracting a bulk sample from the Broken Hammer platinumpalladium-gold-copper Resource on its Broken Hammer Property in Sudbury. The purpose of the bulk sample is to confirm the grades and metal recoveries and establish the economic viability of the deposit for potential mining.

Under the agreement, Technica Mining, a Division of Technica Group Inc., will advance the financing required for extraction of the bulk sample, and will be responsible for extraction of the bulk sample and the delivery of the bulk sample to a milling facility. The agreement also provides Technica with a right of first refusal on the mining contract for the eventual mining of the Broken Hammer resource.

"This agreement represents an important step in the development of our Company as it combines Technica's operating experience with Wallbridge's geological expertise, and provides the financing required for the extraction of the bulk sample.", stated Alar Soever, President and CEO of Wallbridge, "While we will initially be applying Wallbridge's and Technica's combined skill sets to the Broken Hammer resource, our most advanced property, this endeavor puts us in an extremely strong position to pursue new mining ventures for future growth.

"Technica Mining is very excited about the new opportunities that our agreement with Wallbridge Mining presents within the Sudbury basin. Commented Mario Grossi, President of Technica Mining, "Our combined skill sets will demonstrate the necessary experience needed to develop near surface deposits such as Wallbridge's Broken Hammer property."

The Broken Hammer Resource is located on the Broken Hammer Property on the Northern Rim of the Sudbury Mining Camp. It forms a surface zone of vein-and vein stockwork-hosted copper-PGE mineralization. In November 2005, David Rennie P.Geo. of Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. completed a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate that defined an Inferred Mineral Resource of 251,000 tonnes averaging 3.80 g/t total precious metals (1.56 g/t Pd, 1.62 g/t Pt, and 0.61 g/t Au), 1.00% copper, and 0.10% nickel. Formerly part of the Wisner Property within the 4X Joint Venture with Falconbridge; Wallbridge re -negotiated ownership in 2006 and currently holds a 98.5% interest in the Broken Hammer Property; Xstrata Nickel retains a 1.5 % carried interest with some buy back options.

The Qualified Person responsible for the technical content of this press release is Alar Soever, P.Geo, President and CEO of Wallbridge Mining Company Limited.
