Calibre Drilling Discovers New High Grade Gold Veins in the La Sorpresa Zone, Eastern Borosi Project, Nicaragua Including 4.10 Metres Grading 8.93 g/t Gold and 57.4 g/t Silver

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Apr 1, 2015) - Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CXB) (the "Company" or "Calibre") is pleased to announce the first set of results from the 2015 drilling program on the Eastern Borosi gold-silver project (the "Project") which is being financed under an option agreement with IAMGOLD Corporation ("IAMGOLD").

Highlights

  • The 2015 program approved by partner IAMGOLD began on February 4th and is expected to consist of a minimum 5500 metres of drilling with an approved budget of $1.5 million.

  • Diamond drilling on multiple veins in the La Sorpresa gold-silver vein system has discovered three new gold-silver mineralized shoots including: 4.10 m @ 8.93 g/t Gold and 57.4 g/t Silver (Cadillac), 1.40 m @ 5.71 g/t Gold and 15.7 g/t Silver (Jaguar), 1.40 m @ 9.70 g/t Gold and 98.0 g/t Silver (Cadillac), and 3.17 m @ 2.41 g/t Gold and 32.9 g/t Silver (Mercedes)

  • To date the 2015 drilling program has completed 16 holes for 1622.6m at La Sorpresa (results received for 15 of the 16 holes) and three holes totaling 526.6m at Blag (results pending)

  • The La Sorpresa gold-silver vein system is located along trend and 7 km north of the California target and had not previously been tested by drilling.

  • Mapping by Calibre in the La Sorpresa area identified up to five veins with a cumulative strike length of 5.8 km. Drilling to date in 2015 has tested 1.1 km of four closely spaced veins at La Sorpresa; Mercedes, Cadillac, Lincoln, and Jaguar.

President and CEO, Greg Smith stated: "The results for the first few drill holes at la Sorpresa gold-silver vein system are a tremendous start to the 2015 drilling program. We are particularly pleased that we have been able to discover another high grade gold zone notably in the La Sorpresa Target where no previous drilling had occurred. With only 20% of the known La Sorpresa vein system having been tested by shallow drilling, Calibre continues to be encouraged by the potential for additional new gold/silver discoveries on the Eastern Borosi Project."

The La Sorpresa gold-silver vein system, located seven kilometres north of the California target, had not previously been tested by drilling. Mapping and prospecting by Calibre in the La Sorpresa area identified up to five veins with a cumulative strike length of 5.8 km. Drilling to date in 2015 has tested portions of four closely spaced veins at la Sorpresa; Mercedes, Cadillac, Lincoln, and Jaguar.
