| Vancouver, British Columbia: Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX-V: CXB) (the "Company" or "Calibre") is pleased announce the Company and Centerra Gold Inc. ("Centerra") continue to advance exploration programs on the Siuna Gold-Copper Project (the "Project"), located in Northeast Nicaragua. Centerra can earn a 70% interest in the 253 km2 Project by investing a total of $9.0 million in exploration on the property before December 31, 2020. Highlights
Recent surface exploration and drilling has greatly enhanced the understanding of gold mineralization within the district. Conclusions include;
Recent exploration drilling on the Siuna Gold Project consisted of a total of 19 diamond drill holes (8 Huracan, 4 Coyol and 7 Tiburon) with a total meterage in 2016 of 4927 metres (2,439.8 m Huracan, 1,003.4 m Coyol and 1,483.8 m Tiburon). Results include;
Notes: - Intervals are core lengths / true width are estimated to be 70-80% of lengths - Length weighted averages from uncut assays. Drilling in the Huracan area located south of Cerro Aeropuerto was successful in intersecting both narrow high grade gold mineralization and wider porphyry-style gold mineralization. The highest grade intercept was in drill hole HU16-031 which intersected 1.52 metres grading 48.8 g/t Au. Several low grade porphyry-style gold zones including anomalous gold and copper are present in HU16-042, HU16-027, -031 and -037. The drill intercepts are located along a 1.3 km trend. HU16-042 includes 241.0m @ 0.15 g/t Au and 348 ppm Cu (260.8 -- 501.7m). Porphyry-style mineralization within diorites includes quartz-pyrite-molybdenite-chalcopyrite veins, pyrite-tourmaline blebs/veinlets, and disseminated pyrite-chalcopyrite. Patchy and disseminated magnetite alteration and weak to moderate potassic alteration typical in gold-rich porphyry systems such as Calibre's Primavera gold-copper deposit was prevalent in the lower half of the hole. The closest drill hole 300 metres to the south (HU16-037) intersected 189.63m grading 0.22 g/t Au and 537 ppm Cu (109.27 -- 298.9m). The closet hole to the north (700 metres away -- HU16-031) intersected 74.23 m grading 0.28 g/t Au and 881 ppm Cu (99.12 -- 173.35 m). A further 500 metres north the gold mineralization in HU16-027 included two intercepts of 108.37m grading 0.20 g/t Au and 481 ppm Cu (56.8 -- 165.17m) and 72.1m grading 0.28 g/t Au and 525 ppm Cu (197.6 -- 269.7m). Located 200 metres west of the trend drill hole HU16-031 intersected 6.55m @ 0.61 g/t Au related to semi-massive sulphide similar to Cerro Aeropuerto deposit mineralization. Drilling along the Cerro Coyol -- Tiburon trend was directed at a series of gold and base metal soil anomalies, geophysical (magnetic and IP) anomalies, and anomalous gold and base metal rock samples and trenches. Results from the Cerro Coyol area include: CY16-040 with 56.6 m grading 0.18 g/t Au and 63 ppm Cu and CY16-041 with 178.9 m grading 0.13 g/t Au and 79 ppm Cu. Results from the Tiburon area, two kilometres south of Coyol, include TB16-032 with 17.3 m grading 0.20 g/t Au and 222 ppm Cu including 2.25 m grading 0.803 g/t Au and 546 ppm Cu also with 2.3% Pb and 7.4% Zn, and a second intercept of 3.12m @ 1.3 g/t Au and 308 ppm Cu with 0.82% Pb and 5.33% Zn. On the Siuna Project potential exploration parameters for intrusion hosted (porphyry-style) mineralization include chalcopyrite / pyrite ratios, quartz-dominant vein density, magnetite alteration of the groundmass and proximity to shear zones. Work during Q1 2017 has concentrated on a Project-wide sampling program designed to extend existing anomalous zones and define new anomalous trends. Work to date has include;
Notes: - Mineral Resources that are not mineral reserves do not have economic viability.
