Colibri And Partner Commences Diamond Drilling At Pilar Gold & Silver Project

January 8, 2025

NEWS RELEASE - Dieppe, NB., January 8th, 2025 - Colibri Resource Corporation (TSX.V:CBI) (OTC:CRUCF) ("Colibri" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company and its partner Tocvan Ventures Corp. (“Tocvan”) (CSE:TOC) have commenced a diamond core drilling program of up to 1,250 metres focussed on the Main Zone target at the Pilar Gold & Silver Project in Sonora Mexico.


Ian McGavney, President & CEO of Colibri commented,"We believe that 2025 will be a transformational year for Colibri shareholders in terms of project advancement and value creation. We firmly believe that Pilar contains the potential to be a modest low-cost gold producing asset and the new geochemical assays and other geological data derived from this drilling program at Pilar will enhance the geological model and be utilized in an upcoming maiden resource estimate. In conjunction, we are also rapidly advancing our plans for a test mine/bulk sample of up to 50,000 tonnes of material, which is forecast for Q3 this year. The partners are presently reviewing several proposals which will potentially allow for a non-dilutive method to fully finance the test mine."


Test Mine / Bulk Sample Plans


With the price of gold continuing to be very strong, the advancement plans at Pilar include a near term program for the extraction and processing of up to 50,000 tonnes of materials as bulk sample/ test mine in the third quarter of 2025. The ground preparation for the test mine is expected in the first quarter of 2025 and will include systematic trenching and channel sampling.


About the Pilar property


The Pilar gold-silver property has returned some of the region's best drill results. Coupled with encouraging gold and silver recovery results from metallurgical test work, Pilar is primed to be a potential near-term producer. The project is interpreted as a structurally controlled low-sulphidation epithermal system hosted in andesite rock. Initially, three primary zones of mineralization were identified on the original property from historic surface work and drilling, and are referred to as the Main zone, North Hill and 4-T. Each trend remains open to the southeast and north, and new parallel zones have been discovered. Structural features and zones of mineralization within the structures follow an overall northwest-southeast trend of mineralization. Mineralization extends along a 1.2-kilometre trend. Only half of that trend has been drill tested so far.

  • 2022 phase 3 diamond drilling highlights include (all lengths are drilled thicknesses):
  • 116.9 metres of 1.2 grams per tonne gold, including 10.2 m of 12 g/t Au and 23 g/t silver;

  • 95- to 99-per-cent recovery of gold;
  • 73- to 97-per-cent recovery of silver;
