Additional high-grade boulders discovered at Armstrong Brook, New Brunswick - assays include 13.7% zinc, 6.07% lead, .128% copper, 103 g/t silver & 0.48 g/t gold

THUNDER BAY, ON, March 20, 2013 /CNW/ - Wolfden Resources Corporation (the "Company") or ("Wolfden") (TSXV: WLF) is pleased to report the discovery by prospecting, of additional high-grade massive sulphide boulders on its Armstrong Project (the "Property") in north-eastern New Brunswick. The Property comprises a high-grade polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) prospect located in the Bathurst Mining Camp, 15 kilometres northwest of the Brunswick No. 12 deposit. Brunswick No. 12 is one of the world's premier VMS deposits, having produced lead, zinc, silver and gold over the last 60 years.

The new boulder discoveries are located close to the contact between mafic volcanic and sedimentary rocks. The contact locale is also characterized by the presence of minor outcrops and abundant float of felsic volcanic rocks. The Company believes that taken as a whole, the close spatial association of the massive sulphide boulders with the mafic volcanic - sediment contact (and minor felsic volcanic component), suggests that the mafic volcanic-sediment contact marks a favourable stratigraphic horizon, potentially hosting significant VMS mineralization on the Property.  An airborne geophysical survey completed in the fall of 2012, also shows a close relationship of the high-grade boulders with the boundary between conductive sediments and non-conductive volcanic rocks.

Assay results from three samples taken from three separate locales from the new discoveries are summarized below: ¹

SAMPLE NO.	Coordinates (UTM)		% ZN		% PB		% CU		AG (G/T)		AU (G/T)
VMS1	5278520N, 0725333E		10.4		5.67		0.118		130		0.656
VMS2	5278365N, 0725348E		13.7		6.07		0.128		103		0.481
VMS3	5278915N, 0725289E		8.39		4.63		0.762		251		0.605

¹Analysis of the samples were completed at ALS Chemex in Vancouver, utilizing the ME-OG46 method. A prepared sample is digested in 75% aqua regia for 120 minutes. After cooling, the resulting solution is diluted to volume (100 ml) with de-ionized water, mixed and then analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-atomic absorption spectrometry or by atomic absorption spectrometry. ALS Chemex is independent of the Company.

The new boulder discoveries enhance earlier discoveries made by prospecting on the Property, during 2011 and 2012. The 2011-2012 discoveries consist of 11 boulder clusters occurring over a sizeable area, a number of which returned bonanza-grade values in lead, zinc and silver. The 2011-2012 discoveries are located at least 5 kilometres away from the new discoveries reported above but show the same close spatial association of VMS boulders with the mafic volcanic-sediment contact. One cluster where 9 boulders were analyzed, yielded an average of 16.9% Zn, 5.09% Pb, 217 g/t Ag and 0.90 g/t Au. A second cluster returned average assays of 13.3% Zn, 4.01% Pb, 214 g/t Ag and 0.80 g/t Au ¹ (see Wolfden news release dated November 26, 2012).

Donald Hoy, President and CEO stated; "Due to the abundance and angular nature of the VMS boulders at Armstrong Brook in addition to the thin overburden cover, I believe the boulders come from a nearby source. The close association of the boulders with the mafic volcanic-sediment contact seen in the field and on subsequent geophysical surveys is also encouraging and suggests that it comprises a favourable horizon for VMS mineralization".

As soon as access can be gained on the Property which is expected in the second quarter of 2013, the 2013 exploration program will commence. It will consist of prospecting, detailed ground geophysical surveys, trenching and diamond drilling.
