Colibri Reports: Six Holes Completed At The Pilar Gold & Silver Project In Sonora Mexico

January 28, 2025

NEWS RELEASE - Dieppe, NB., January 8th, 2025 - Colibri Resource Corporation (TSX.V:CBI) (OTC:CRUCF) ("Colibri" or the "Company") is pleased to share an update with its shareholders and interested parties in regard to its up to 1,250 metre diamond drilling program presently underway at its jointly held El Pilar Gold & Silver Project in Sonora Mexico. Colibri holds 49% interest of the El Pilar along side its partner Tocvan Ventures, which holds 51% ownership. 


Drilling Update



Six holes have now been completed totalling 672.2 metres and a seventh hole is presently underway. Cores from the first several holes have been logged and are presently being prepared to be shipped for geochemical analysis. The Company will report results in due course upon review of the data. 


On January 22nd, 2025, Tocvan Ventures reported the following in regard to the first four diamond drill holes completed in our 2025 program at Pilar: “The aim of the core program is to build out a more robust geological model across the area. Each hole completed has successfully intersected lithologies and structures (vein zones, breccia zones and/or large fault gouges) known to host and control gold - silver mineralization at Pilar that will aid in modelling. The Company cautions these are visual indications; assay results are pending to verify the grade of mineralization.”

 

Ian McGavney, President & CEO of Colibri states, “The Company is excited to move forward with its partner Tocvan Ventures to unlock Pilar’s significant potential. The new data derived from this diamond core drilling program will be added to the project’s geological model as well as to an upcoming Maiden Resource Estimate. We look forward to updating our shareholders on these drill results and our other progress at Pilar as we move towards our goal of being a near term gold & silver producer.”


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):

Colibri Announces Increase in Equity Offering Due to Strong Investor Demand; Progress Toward Selection of Drilling Contractor for EP Gold Project

October 16, 2025
NEWS RELEASE - DIEPPE, N.B., October 6, 2025 -- Colibri Resource Corporation (“Colibri” or the “Company”) (CBI: TSX-V) is pleased to announce that it intends to conduct two non-brokered private placements as follows: An equity offering (the “Equity Offering”) of up to 8,666,666 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.15 for gross proceeds of up to $1,300,000. Each Unit will consist of one (1) common share and one (1) common share purchase warrant (the Warrants ). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one common share (a “Common Share”) of the Company at a price of C$0.25 per Common Share for a period of 24 months. It is anticipated at this time that, of the gross proceeds, approximately $300,000 will be from former debenture holders of the Company whose instruments came due during August 2025 and will not represent new money to the Company. See the Company’s news release of August 6, 2025. The Company is also intending to conduct a non-brokered private placement of up to 250 convertible debenture units (the “Debenture Units”) for gross proceeds of up to US$250,000 (the “Debenture Offering”). Each Debenture Unit consists of one (1) US$1,000 principal amount 10% unsecured convertible debenture (the “Debenture”) and 5,300 Warrants. Each Debenture will bear interest at 10% per annum, calculated in US dollars, from the date of issuance, payable in arrears quarterly and upon maturity or redemption. The Debentures will mature on the date that is two (2) years from the date of issuance (the "Maturity Date"). The Debentures are convertible into Common Shares, at the holder's option, at a price C$0.25 per Common Share (the "Conversion Price") at any time prior to the Maturity Date. For purposes of the Conversion Price, the Debentures carry a fixed foreign exchange rate of C$1.30 for each US$1 of principal. All interest accrued on the Debentures will be payable in cash only and there can be no conversion of the Debenture interest into Common Shares of the Company. Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of C$0.25 per Common Share for a period of 24 months following the closing of the offering. A significant portion of the offerings are expected to be acquired by former debenture holders whose loans matured in August 2025 (see the Company’s news release dated August 6, 2025). This will significantly strengthen the Company’s capital structure by converting outstanding obligations into equity-linked securities although this will not represent new money to the Company. Closing of the foregoing offerings is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”). Common Shares issuable will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring on the date that is four months and one day after Closing. The Company anticipates that it may pay certain finder’s fees as per the guidelines of the Exchange. The Offering will be conducted by the Company primarily under the "accredited investor" exemption of National Instrument 45-106 –– Prospectus and Registration Exemptions but may use other exemptions if appropriate. Certain insiders of the Company may acquire Units in the Offering. Any participation by insiders in the Private Placement will constitute a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“ MI 61-101 ”). The Company expects such participation will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the Units subscribed for by the insiders, nor the consideration for the Units paid by such insiders, is expected to exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization. Net proceeds will fund exploration at Colibri’s flagship Mexican gold projects, including Pilar and EP, and for general working capital. “ This financing provides us with the resources to advance key exploration initiatives at Pilar and EP while also strengthening our balance sheet. We view this as a significant step forward that enables us to deliver on important near-term objectives and continue positioning Colibri for growth ,” said Ian McGavney, President & CEO of Colibri.
