Colibri Resource Advances First-Pass Drill Program at San Perfecto and Priority Targets, EP Gold Project, Sonora, Mexico, Within a Region Hosting Projects Operated by Fresnillo Plc, Agnico Eagle, Osis

January 15, 2026

NEWS RELEASE - DIEPPE, N.B., January 15, 2026 -- Colibri Resource Corporation (“Colibri” or the “Company”) (CBI: TSX-V) is pleased to announce that it has resumed reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling in the Plomo area of its 100%-owned EP Gold Project in Sonora, Mexico.


The current phase of work is designed to systematically evaluate priority structures and targets identified within the Plomo area, which has seen limited historical drilling, using a disciplined, first-pass exploration approach.


Prior to the year-end break, the Company completed an initial phase of drilling at the San Perfecto and Banco de Oro targets consisting of eleven (11) RC drill holes totaling approximately 906 metres, with samples submitted for assay in December.


The resumed program continues the first-pass evaluation of the San Perfecto target, while expanding testing to additional priority targets identified within the Plomo area. The Company plans to complete an additional six (6) to ten (10) RC drill holes as part of this phase of work.


The Plomo area hosts multiple exploration targets within the broader EP Gold Project and has experienced minimal historical drilling. Colibri’s ongoing work at Plomo is part of a systematic, staged exploration strategy aimed at evaluating multiple targets across the area through a reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the EP Gold Project.


Samples from the Company’s December drilling campaign are currently at the laboratory. Based on current laboratory guidance, the Company anticipates that assay results from these initial drill holes may begin to be received in early February, subject to laboratory turnaround times. Results will be reported once received, compiled, and reviewed.


“This phase of work represents a disciplined continuation of our first-pass exploration strategy at Plomo,” said Ian McGavney, President & CEO of Colibri Resource Corporation. “Our focus remains on systematically evaluating priority targets through careful execution and data collection, while maintaining operational momentum as we await results from the initial drill program.”

About the EP Gold Project Colibri’s wholly owned EP Gold Project hosts multiple high-priority target areas across a broader district scale land package, several of which have already returned encouraging drill results supporting the Company’s belief that the project has the potential host one or more significant gold zones, while numerous additional targets remain. Recent drilling previously reported by the Company at the Plomo Claims within the EP Gold Project returned several notable near-surface gold intercepts including: • 7.5 metres grading 2.92 g/t gold from 6 metres, including 1.5 metres grading 9.95 g/t gold; • 30.0 metres grading 0.73 g/t gold from 3 metres, including 1.5 metres grading 7.51 g/t gold; • 30.0 metres grading 0.45 g/t gold from surface, including 6.0 metres grading 1.16 g/t gold; and • 19.5 metres grading 0.44 g/t gold from 3 metres, including 4.5 metres grading 1.29 g/t gold. The Company recently reported gold mineralization intersected in 18 of 22 holes completed during its Phase 1 drill program across the San Perfecto and Banco de Oro target areas at EP, supporting the interpretation of a broad mineralized structural corridor extending across the property. For more details, please refer to the Company's news release dated March 13, 2026. The EP Gold Project is strategically situated within the Caborca Gold Belt of Sonora, Mexico and lies within and adjacent to extensive regional concession holdings of Fresnillo plc.
