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.

NEWS RELEASE - DIEPPE, N.B., July 16, 2025 -- Colibri Resource Corporation (“Colibri” or the “Company”) (CBI: TSX-V) announces its intention to amend certain terms of its currently outstanding 10% unsecured convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) that were originally issued in two tranches by the Company through private placement on August 1 and August 31, 2023 (see the Company’s news releases of August 4, September 12 and September 22, 2023). As at the date hereof, there is US$619,000 of Debentures outstanding. The Company also intends to amend the terms of 3,720,792 outstanding common share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) and 11,049 finders’ options (the “Finder’s Options”) which were issued in conjunction with the Debentures. The Debentures mature as to US$444,000 on August 1, 2025 and US$175,000 on August 31, 2025 with 10% annual interest payable quarterly and upon maturity. The principal amount of the Debentures are currently convertible into common shares at a price of C$0.50 per Common Share after adjusting for a share consolidation effected on June 13, 2025 (see the Company’s news release dated June 11, 2025). The Debentures carry a fixed foreign exchange rate of C$1.30 for each US$1 of principal for conversion purposes. Interest on the Debentures may not be converted to Common Shares. In respect of the Warrants, each Warrant currently entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of C$0.60 per share (after adjusting for the aforementioned share consolidation) with 2,637,582 Warrants expiring on August 1, 2025 and 1,083,200 expiring on August 31, 2025. Each Finder’s Options currently entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of C$0.60 per share (after adjusting for the aforementioned share consolidation) expiring on August 31, 2023. The Company intends to amend the Debentures as follows: The maturity date will be extended for an additional two years to August 1, 2027 and August 31, 2027 respectively and the conversion price will be reduced to C$0.25 per Common Share; alternatively, debenture holders will be offered the option to convert the Debentures at a price of C$0.15 per Common Share on the current maturity date. All other terms of the Debentures remain unchanged. The Company intends to amend the term of the Warrants and the Finder’s Options by extending their expiry date an additional two years and reducing the exercise price to C$0.25. In accordance with TSX Venture Exchange policy, any amended Warrants and Finder’s Options will include an accelerated expiry clause such that the exercise period of the amended Warrants and Finder’s Options will be reduced to 30 days if, for any ten consecutive trading days during the unexpired term of the amended Warrants and Finder’s Options, the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares exceeds $0.30. Insiders of the Company currently hold 135,400 Warrants (the “Insider Warrants”). The application of any amendments to the Insider Warrants constitutes a "related party transaction" within MI 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") but are exempt from the MI 61-101 valuation and minority approval requirements for related party transactions under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involves the Related Parties, exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101). Any amendments to the Debentures, Warrants and Finder’s options are subject to acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. Reasoning for the Proposed Amendments Strategic Timing to Advance Pilar and Drive Shareholder Value The Company is taking proactive steps to strengthen its balance sheet and align capital with its most compelling near-term growth opportunity, the advancement of the Pilar Gold & Silver Project. The Company’s proposed restructuring of the Debentures comes at a pivotal time, as Pilar progresses toward bulk sampling, supported by strong recent and historical exploration results. Momentum Toward Test Mining Colibri’s joint venture partner, Tocvan Ventures, announced on June 18, 2025, that engineering and design for a 50,000-tonne pilot leach facility is now complete, with the permitting process well underway. Tocvan has indicated it does not foresee delays in approvals and intends to commence construction following final permit acceptance. If successful, a pilot test mine run of Pilar materials could generate a relatively meaningful amount of cash flow over a short period, helping to reduce Colibri’s near-term capital requirements and further de-risking its 49% interest in the project. Pilar Drill & Bulk Sample Results Highlight Gold-Silver Potential Over multiple exploration phases, drilling at Pilar has consistently returned broad zones of oxidized near-surface gold mineralization, along with high-grade intercepts—critical for the economics of the upcoming test mine. Highlights include: 2025 (Diamond Drilling – JES-25 Series): 83.5 @ 1.3 g/t Au from surface, including 10.3 g/t over 9.7m 64.9 m @ 1.2 g/t Au, including 3.0 m @ 21.6 g/t Au and 209 g/t Ag—marking the first high-grade intercept along the North Hill trend (JES-25-108) 2023 Bulk Sample: A 1,200-tonne surface sample yielded an average head grade of 1.9 g/t Au with a calculated recovery rate of approximately 62%, confirming the presence of near-surface mineralization amenable to heap leach or vat leach processing. Historical Drilling (2020–2022): 116.9 m @ 1.2 g/t Au, including 10.2 m @ 12.0 g/t Au and 23 g/t Ag (Phase III) 94.6 m @ 1.6 g/t Au, including 9.2 m @ 10.8 g/t Au (Phase I) 47.7 m @ 0.7 g/t Au, including 3.0 m @ 5.6 g/t Au and 22 g/t Ag (Phase II) (Above technical information cited in Tocvan Ventures Corp. news release dated June 18th, 2025 which was reviewed and approved by Brodie A. Sutherland, qualified person for Tocvan Ventures Corp.) Together, these results demonstrate the continuity, scale, and metallurgical potential of gold mineralization at Pilar, while outlining multiple high-grade near-surface zones that could meaningfully contribute to the upcoming bulk test mine. What This Means for Shareholders The pilot plant is nearing approval, and Colibri’s 49% stake positions it to potentially benefit directly from the Pilar’s bulk sample / test phase’s outcome. The restructuring of the Debentures will reduce immediate financial obligations, freeing up capital to support the Pilar bulk sample / test mine program and broader exploration. With gold prices trading near historic highs, the ability to advance a high-grade, near-surface gold system into production under a low-capex pilot structure presents a compelling opportunity to unlock value for shareholders. By aligning its financial position with Pilar’s development timeline, Colibri is taking a disciplined, shareholder-first approach to unlocking value from one of the most advanced gold projects in Sonora. For Debenture holders, they will now have the opportunity to participate significantly in the potential upside in the Pilar Gold & Silver Project.
