Colibri Announces Closing of First Tranche of Its Non-Brokered Private Placement and Sale of Its RC Drill Rig

September 6, 2024

Dieppe, New Brunswick--(Newsfile Corp. - September 6, 2024) - Colibri Resource Corporation (TSXV: CBI) ("Colibri" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to its news release of August 23, 2024, it has closed the first tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") of units ("Units") for aggregate gross proceeds of $305,500. Each Unit consists of one (1) common share (a "Common Share") and one (1) common share purchase warrant (the Warrants) of the Company. Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional Common Share of the Company at a price of C$0.075 for a period of 24 months following issuance.


Certain insiders of the Company have acquired an aggregate of 550,000 Units in the Offering for gross proceeds of $27,500. Participation by insiders in the private placement constitutes a related party transaction as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. This participation is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the units subscribed for by the insiders, nor the consideration for the units paid by such insiders, exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization.


The Common Shares and Warrants are subject to a statutory hold period expiring on the date that is four months and one day after closing.


The Company anticipates completing a second tranche of the Offering within the next few weeks.


The Offering, including the terms of the Offering, received the conditional approval of the Exchange prior to closing but is subject to the final approval of the Exchange. The net proceeds of the offering will be used for exploration expenses at the Company's highly prospective precious metals projects in Mexico, including the Pilar gold project and the EP gold project as well as for working capital.


The Company also wishes to announce that it has sold its RC Drill Rig to a private company in Hermosillo Mexico for a total consideration of USD $395,000 which consisted of cash and drill credits. A portion of the proceeds is expected to be applied to an upcoming drilling program at the EP Gold Project where the Company intends to complete its first drilling program at the high priority San Perfecto target.


The San Perfecto target area is characterized by variably to strongly altered volcanic and intrusive rocks and has a mineralized footprint of approximately 1,250m by 700m which remains open to the southeast. A total of 616 samples are reported from the San Perfecto target surface area (102 by Colibri and 514 historical) of which 315, approximately 50 per cent, have returned values greater than 0.10 g/t Au and 213, approximately 35 per cent, have returned assay values greater than 0.25 g/t Au. Ninety-one samples (approximately 15 per cent of the total) have returned Au assays greater than 1.00 g/t with the highest grades, up to 58.9 g/t Au being associated with strong silicification and veins in faults zones.


A number of historical (artisanal) pits have been developed in the San Perfecto area including a larger production pit with a surface opening approximately of 35 m by 30 m. Only two exploration holes have been historically drilled in the area and both intersected significant mineralization.


Supported by interpretation of magnetic and IP data sets, the Company has interpreted the San Perfecto area as being indicative of a well-developed, high-level orogenic gold system with the potential to host economically significant mineralization.

Colibri Resource Corporation Advances Growth Strategy to Unlock Value at EP Gold Project and Pilar Joint Venture

September 16, 2025
NEWS RELEASE - DIEPPE, N.B., September 16, 2025 -- Colibri Resource Corporation (“Colibri” or the “Company”) (CBI: TSX-V) is pleased to provide a corporate update, outlining near-term initiatives to advance its 100%-owned EP Gold Project and highlight the significant potential of its 49% interest in the advanced Pilar Gold-Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico. Positioned for Growth in a Strong Precious Metals Market With gold and silver trading near historic highs, Colibri is actively advancing initiatives designed to increase shareholder value. The Company is pursuing a staged growth strategy focused on: Advancing exploration at EP Gold, Supporting development of Pilar, and Strengthening market visibility and corporate positioning. EP Gold Project – District-Scale Potential in the Heart of the Caborca Belt Colibri’s 100%-owned EP Gold Project (Evelyn/Plomo) covers 4,766 hectares in the Caborca Gold Belt of Sonora, Mexico — one of the country’s most prolific mining districts. The Project is strategically located within 25 kilometres of some of Fresnillo Plc’s most significant gold operations, including the producing La Herradura Mine and Noche Buena Mine, as well as the Tajitos deposit (which is reportedly undergoing an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment).

Colibri Congratulates JV Partner on Test Mine Permit; Pilar Positioned as Near-Term Bulk Sample Opportunity

August 19, 2025
NEWS RELEASE - DIEPPE, N.B., August 19, 2025 -- Colibri Resource Corporation (“Colibri” or the “Company”) (CBI: TSX-V) congratulates its joint venture partner, Tocvan Ventures Corp. (“Tocvan”), on receiving permit approval for a 50,000-tonne pilot mine facility in Sonora, Mexico (announced August 14, 2025). Located in close proximity to the Pilar Gold & Silver Project (“Pilar”), a 49% Colibri – 51% Tocvan joint venture, the facility presents an excellent opportunity to consider processing a bulk sample at a time when gold prices remain near record highs. The permitted facility will be located in very close proximity to the “Pilar Gold & Silver Project “(“Pilar”), a 49% Colibri – 51% Tocvan joint venture. Although no plans have been finalized regarding the use of the facility for Pilar material, its location and scale present a highly compelling opportunity for the partners to consider processing a bulk sample from Pilar in an efficient, cost-effective manner. Pilar is particularly well suited for this purpose: a 1,400‑tonne bulk sample completed in 2023 returned an average head grade of 1.9 g/t Au with recoveries of approximately 62% using simple heap leach methods. Combined with extensive drilling and surface work, sufficient material could be sourced quickly—making Pilar an immediately available, high‑quality feed source for the newly permitted facility at a time when gold prices remain near historical highs. “With a permitted processing facility now secured nearby, Pilar stands out as a ready and logical candidate for a larger bulk sample program,” said Ian McGavney, President & CEO of Colibri. “With a prior bulk sample already delivering an average grade of 1.9 g/t Au and demonstrating recoveries above 60%, and with significant amounts of mineralized material already identified to move quickly, Pilar is clearly positioned for near-term evaluation. Advancing Pilar in this way would be highly advantageous to both Colibri and Tocvan shareholders, particularly with gold trading near all-time highs.” Previously Released Drill Highlights at Pilar (Colibri/Tocvan JV licenses): 2025 Diamond Drilling (all lengths are drilled thicknesses): 83.5 m at 1.3 g/t Au from surface, including 10.3 g/t over 9.7 m 64.9 m at 1.2 g/t Au, including 3.0 m at 21.6 g/t Au and 209 g/t Ag — first high-grade intercept along the North Hill trend 116.9 m at 1.2 g/t Au, including 10.2 m at 12.0 g/t Au and 23 g/t Ag 2024 RC Drilling (all lengths are drilled thicknesses): 42.7m @ 1.0 g/t Au, including 3.1m @ 10.9 g/t Au 56.4m @ 1.0 g/t Au, including 3.1m @ 14.7 g/t Au 16.8m @ 0.8 g/t Au and 19 g/t Ag 2022 Phase III Diamond Drilling (all lengths are drilled thicknesses): 116.9m @ 1.2 g/t Au, including 10.2m @ 12 g/t Au and 23 g/t Ag 108.9m @ 0.8 g/t Au, including 9.4m @ 7.6 g/t Au and 5 g/t Ag 63.4m @ 0.6 g/t Au and 11 g/t Ag, including 29.9m @ 0.9 g/t Au and 18 g/t Ag 2021 Phase II RC Drilling (all lengths are drilled thicknesses): 39.7m @ 1.0 g/t Au, including 1.5m @ 14.6 g/t Au 47.7m @ 0.7 g/t Au including 3m @ 5.6 g/t Au and 22 g/t Ag 29m @ 0.7 g/t Au 35.1m @ 0.7 g/t Au 2020 Phase I RC Drilling Highlights include (all lengths are drilled thicknesses): 94.6m @ 1.6 g/t Au, including 9.2m @ 10.8 g/t Au and 38 g/t Ag; 41.2m @ 1.1 g/t Au, including 3.1m @ 6.0 g/t Au and 12 g/t Ag ; 24.4m @ 2.5 g/t Au and 73 g/t Ag, including 1.5m @ 33.4 g/t Au and 1,090 g/t Ag 15,000m of Historic Core & RC drilling (all lengths are drilled thicknesses): 61.0m @ 0.8 g/t Au 21.0m @ 38.3 g/t Au and 38 g/t Ag 13.0m @ 9.6 g/t Au 9.0m @ 10.2 g/t Au and 46 g/t Ag Pilar Bulk Sample Summary : 62% Recovery of Gold Achieved Over 46-day Leaching Period Head Grade Calculated at 1.9 g/t Au and 7 g/t Ag; Extracted Grade Calculated at 1.2 g/t Au and 3 g/t Ag Bulk Sample Only Included Coarse Fraction of Material (+3/4” to +1/8”) Fine Fraction (-1/8”) Indicates Rapid Recovery with Agitated Leach Agitated Bottle Roll Test Returned Rapid and High Recovery Results : 80% Recovery of Gold and 94% Recovery of Silver after Rapid 24-hour Retention Time Additional Metallurgical Studies: Gravity Recovery with Agitated Leach Results of Five Composite Samples Returned 95 to 99% Recovery of Gold 73 to 97% Recovery of Silver Includes the Recovery of 99% Au and 73% Ag from Drill Core Composite at 120-meter depth
