Colibri Resource completes six drill holes at El Pilar

COLIBRI REPORTS: SIX HOLES COMPLETED AT THE PILAR GOLD & SILVER PROJECT IN SONORA MEXICO

Colibri Resource Corp. has shared an update with its shareholders and interested parties in regard to its up to 1,250-metre diamond drilling program presently under way at its jointly held El Pilar gold and silver project in Sonora, Mexico. Colibri holds 49-per-cent interest of the El Pilar along side its partner Tocvan Ventures, which holds 51-per-cent ownership.

Drilling update

Six holes have now been completed totalling 672.2 metres and a seventh hole is presently under way. 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 Jan. 22, 2025, Tocvan Ventures reported the following in regard to the first four diamond drill holes completed in its 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 and chief executive officer 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 and 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 testwork, 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.

Pilar drill highlights:

  • 2022 phase 3 diamond drilling highlights include (all lengths are drilled thicknesses):
    • 116.9 metres of 1.2 grams per tonne gold, including 10.2 m of 12 g/t Au and 23 g/t silver;
    • 108.9 m of 0.8 g/t Au, including 9.4 m of 7.6 g/t Au and five g/t Ag;
    • 63.4 m of 0.6 g/t Au and 11 g/t Ag, including 29.9 m of 0.9 g/t Au and 18 g/t Ag.
  • 2021 phase 2 RC drilling highlights include (all lengths are drilled thicknesses):
    • 39.7 m of 1.0 g/t Au, including 1.5 m of 14.6 g/t Au;

    • 61.0 m of 0.8 g/t Au;
    • 21.0 m of 38.3 g/t Au and 38 g/t Ag;
    • 13.0 m of 9.6 g/t Au;
    • 9.0 m of 10.2 g/t Au and 46 g/t Ag.

Pilar bulk sample summary:

  • 62-per-cent recovery of gold achieved over 46-day leaching period;
  • Head grade calculated at 1.9 g/t Au and seven g/t Ag; extracted grade calculated at 1.2 g/t Au and three g/t Ag;
  • Bulk sample only included coarse fraction of material;
  • Fine fraction indicates rapid recovery with agitated leach:
    • Agitated bottle roll test returned rapid and high recovery results: 80-per-cent recovery of gold and 94-per-cent recovery of silver after rapid 24-hour retention time.

Additional metallurgical studies:

  • Gravity recovery with agitated leach results of five composite samples returned:
    • 95- to 99-per-cent recovery of gold;
    • 73- to 97-per-cent recovery of silver;
    • Includes the recovery of 99 per cent Au and 73 per cent Ag from drill core composite at 120-metre depth.
