Colibri Discovers New Zone Of Gold Mineralization On The Ep Property In Sonora, Mexico

December 19, 2023

NEWS RELEASE - Dieppe, NB., December 19, 2023 - Colibri Resource Corporation (TSX.V:CBI) (OTC:CRUCF) ("Colibri" or the "Company") is very pleased to announce that its recently completed drilling program has resulted in the discovery of a promising new zone of gold mineralization on the Evelyn property at the EP gold project located in the Caborca Gold Belt, NW Sonora. The new area of mineralization has been named West Sahuaro. Drilling highlights of the West Sahuaro includes:


  • Gold mineralization was intersected in all 6 holes that tested the target
  • Longer intercepts of continuous mineralization include:
  • 23 m intersection length at an average grade of 0.350 g/t Au in hole EVE23-196
  • 66 m intersection length at an average grade of 0.273 g/t Au in hole EVE23-198
  • Higher grade intercepts included in the longer zones of mineralization include:
  • 5 m intersection length at an average grade of 0.770 g/t Au in hole EVE23-196
  • 6 m intersection length at an average grade of 0.753 g/t Au in hole EVE23-198
  • Of a total of 570 assays completed on 1 m samples, only 7 samples returned Au less than detection limit
  • The longer intercepts are apparently continuous in three shallowly east dipping zones with a footprint of approximately 200 metres x 300 metres
  • The mineralization is open in all directions and at depth 
  • Four of the six holes drilled ended in mineralization.
  • The deepest intercept is at a vertical depth of approximately 125 m


Ian McGavney, President & CEO of Colibri commented: “Our new discovery at the West Sahuaro Zone is the thickest, most continuous, and highest grade gold mineralization intersected to date on the Evelyn property. We are extremely pleased with these results. The grade of mineralization discovered is approaching the reported production and resource grades at mines and development stage projects in the Caborca Gold Belt. The longer intercepts calculated at a 0.1 g/t Au cutoff grade and the occurrence of pervasively anomalous Au indicates that we have moved into a favourable litho-structural setting on the property. Geophysical and surface mapping indicates that the northwesterly structure that West Sahuaro sits on extends at least 2.5 km in length. We will begin building on this success with further exploration drilling in the West Sahuaro area and by leveraging our exhaustive exploration data set to further target areas along this and other identified mineralized structures.”


Recently Completed Drilling Program


Seventeen reverse circulation (“RC”) drill holes totaling 2,200 metres were completed in two target areas; the West Sahuaro (“WS”) target located in the northeastern part of the Evelyn property immediately west of the El Sahuaro target and the Main Zone area located in the central part of the property (Figure 1).

West Sahuaro – (New Discovery Area)


Six holes (764 m) were drilled on 2-3 hole, E-W, sections spaced at approximately 150 m. All holes intersected significant mineralization consisting of longer intersection lengths calculated at a 0.1 g/t Au cutoff grade and which include higher grade intervals (see table of significant intercepts).  Utilizing the 0.1 g/t cutoff grade intervals, the ESW mineralization is consistently interpreted as 3 shallowly east dipping lenses (Figures 2a and 2b below) with a projected to surface extent of approximately 200 m x 300 m. Intersected mineralization is open in all directions, up and down dip and along strike. Four of the six holes ended in mineralization > 0.1 g/t Au. Au assays have been completed on 600 samples and only 7 of these samples returned assays below detection limit.

Table 1: West El Sahuaro Significant Drill Assays

The West Sahuaro drill target was prioritized based on a coherent Au in soil anomaly that trends north northwesterly over approximately 500 m length. The Au soil anomaly is spatially associated with a similarly oriented north northwesterly structure that has been derived from geological mapping as well as IP resistivity interpretation. The interpretation of said steep resistivity gradient extends through the IP data sets to the southeast of Evelyn and onto the Plomo property over a total distance of approximately 2.5 km (Figure 3). The trend of the resistivity gradient, when projected approximately 1 km further to the southeast, intersects Banco de Oro, a historical small scale Au mine which is a prioritized target for the Company. The Company is evaluating the significance of the north-northwest trending structure and West Sahuaro mineralization spatial association and anticipates further testing of this setting across the Evelyn and Plomo properties.

Main Zone Area Drilling

 

A total of 1,436 m was drilled at the Main Zone. Three separate targets were tested (see figure 4):

 

  1. The northern extension of interpreted east dipping mineralization lenses:
    Three holes were drilled in a westerly trending drill fence to test the northern projection of moderately easterly dipping lenses of Main Zone mineralization. Hole EVE23-190 and 191 collared to the east and planned to test the deeper extension of mineralization were both terminated due to ground conditions above target depth. Both holes intersected anomalous to low grade mineralization above target depth and both holes ended in mineralization. Hole EVE23-192 successfully intersected 3 zones of mineralization consistent with the up-dip projection of previously interpreted mineralization. Intersected mineralization is reported in table 2.

  2. The intersection of interpreted (under alluvium cover) structures coincident with a geochemical anomaly derived from a previously reported short-hole drill program:
    Holes EVE23-193, 194, and 195 were drilled to test this target which is located 100 m north of the Main Zone drilling. All holes intersected numerous narrow 1 to 2 m zones of Au > 0.1 g/t Au but failed to intersect the thicker zone characterizing the Main Zone.

  3. The SGH anomaly south of the Main Zone:
    Drill hole EVE23-186 was collared adjacent (footwall) to the Main Zone vein and planned for 300 m length to test the interpreted SGH anomaly and related structure at depth. The hole was terminated well above the target due to ground conditions at 137 m. EVE23-186 intersected consistently anomalous Au values from surface to a drill depth of 101 m. Assays and intercepts > 0.1 g/t Au are reported in table 2. Hole EVE23-202 was drilled to the south to intersect the SGH anomaly coincident with the previously interpreted (projected) structure. EVE23-202 intersected a zone containing vein quartz with disseminated pyrite over a 5 m interval from 173 m to 178 m all of which contained anomalous gold values including a high of 0.967 g/t Au over 1 m.

About Main Zone

The Main Zone is the most advanced target on the Evelyn property. It is interpreted as a series of north-northeasterly striking and moderately east dipping lenses occurring over an approximate strike length of 250 m and previously drilled to a vertical depth of approximately 120 m. Mineralization exposed on surface and in historical mine workings consists of a north-northeast striking and moderately easterly dipping quartz vein that is discontinuously exposed over a strike length of approximately 120 m. The quartz vein pinches and swells along the strike length on surface reaching a maximum exposed thickness of approximately 1.5 m. Grab samples from surface exposures of the vein have returned assay values of 43.9 g/t Au and 40.1 g/t Au.  Previous drilling has intersected similarly high-grade mineralization and includes 12.19 g/t Au over an intersection length of 3 m. Mineralization in both the hangingwall and footwall of the Main Zone vein includes multiple quartz vein intersections and low to locally moderate grade Au assay values in chlorite-carbonate-pyrite altered host rocks. Longer mineralized intercepts of veined and altered host rock comprising the easterly dipping lenses at the Main Zone include:

 

  • 87 m at an average grade of 0.13 g/t Au including an interval of 8 m at 0.34 g/t Au
  • 86 m at an average grade of 0.17 g/t Au including an interval of 10 m at 0.55 g/t Au
  • 34.7 m at an average grade of 0.28 g/t Au including 5.65 m at 1.0 g/t Au
  • 29.0 m at an average grade of 0.47 g/t Au including 6.0 m at 0.97 g/t Au

 

South of the exposed Main Zone vein, the north-northeast trending structure is interpreted to extend under colluvium cover. To explore the southern extension of the Main Zone, the Company completed a Soil Gas Hydrocarbon (“SGH”) survey which resulted in a well-defined anomaly.


About the EP Project and Next Steps


The EP Gold Project is located within the Caborca Gold Belt (“CGB”) of northwestern Sonora and is comprised of the Evelyn and the Plomo properties covering a total of 4,766 hectares (“Ha”). The northwest trending CGB is approximately 500 km in length and is characterized by a number of orogenic-type gold deposits, prospects, and occurrences including the > 15 million ounce La Herradura Mine, located 25 km west of EP, the > 2-million-ounce Noche Buena Mine located approximately 8 km southwest of EP, and the past producing Soledad-Dipolos Mine (> 3 Moz Au) located approximately 32 km to the northwest of EP (see figure 5).



The Evelyn property was acquired by the Company in 2012 and the acquisition of the Plomo property was completed in March of 2023. On the Evelyn property, Colibri has completed comprehensive surface exploration including soil sampling, geological mapping and outcrop sampling, an airborne magnetic survey, and a property wide induced polarization survey. Since February 2020, Colibri has drilled a total of 12,333 metres (total of reverse circulation and core drilling) and is advancing mineralized zones at the Main Zone, El Sahuaro, and the newly discovered West Sahuaro. On the Plomo property, the Company has compiled historical exploration data and has completed its first exploration program which included geological mapping and outcrop sampling at selected target areas on the property.

 

The Company is continuing to advance its EP project-wide interpretation and exploration model and has identified 14 target areas (see figure 6) with recent and historical work that includes high grade grab samples from outcrop, high grade grab and channel samples from historical mine working, and drill intercepts that are both locally high grade and are consistent with grades being mined in the Caborca Gold Belt. Current work includes interpretation and inclusion of the drill results reported here and the prioritization of future drill targets. To support this work, the Company will complete an airborne (drone) magnetic survey over a selected part of the Plomo property in January 2024 and will be completing detailed geological mapping on selected targets and areas of the EP Project.

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 22 nd , 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.

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.

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.
