Calibre Announces NI 43-101 Inferred Resource Estimate Containing 222,300 oz Au and 4,142,000 oz Ag (287,100 oz AuEq) at the 100% Owned Riscos de Oro Deposit, Borosi Project, Nicaragua
Calibre 100% Owned Inferred Resources on the Borosi Project Total 1,057,750 ozs Gold, 8,430,070 oz Ag (1,190,000 oz AuEq.) in 3 Gold-Silver Deposits
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/05/12 -- Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE: CXB) (the "Company" or "Calibre") is pleased to announce a National Instrument 43-101 Inferred Resource Estimate at the Company's 100% owned Riscos de Oro Deposit on the Borosi Project, northeast Nicaragua. The Inferred Resource Estimated at a cut off grade of 0.6 g/t AuEq is 2,159,000 Tonnes grading 3.20 g/t Au and 59.67 g/t Ag (4.14 g/t AuEq) containing 222,300 oz Au and 4,142,000 oz Ag (287,100 oz AuEq.) as outlined in the table below:
President and CEO, Greg Smith, states; "We are extremely encouraged with this initial resource estimate at the Riscos de Oro gold-silver deposit. The resource is open in all directions and is contained within less than 700 metres of the defined seven kilometre strike length to the Riscos de Oro structure. As such, we believe there is potential to significantly expand this resource in the near future." Mr Smith adds, "The Riscos de Oro system is a classic low sulphidation epithermal structure and, as is typical of these types of deposits there continues to be tremendous upside potential for delineating additional resources. Calibre has identified a series of high priority drill targets including; the up dip portion of the lower zone which was not tested by the previous drilling, as well as along strike and down dip extensions."
The Resource Estimate was prepared by independent qualified person Todd McCracken, P. Geo. of Tetra Tech Inc. ("Tetra Tech"). The mineral resource estimate is based on the combination of geological modeling, geostatistics and conventional block modeling using the Inverse Distance method of grade interpolation. The mineral resources were estimated using a block model with parent blocks of 20m X 20m X 5m split three times into sub-blocks. The geological model including mineralized intercepts were generated by Calibre personnel and then audited by Tetra Tech. The QAQC protocols and corresponding sample preparation and shipment procedures for the Calibre drilling at Riscos de Oro have been reviewed by Tetra Tech.
A technical report is being prepared and will be filed in the next 45 days.
The Resource Estimate also evaluated the Riscos de Oro Deposit at a range of cut off grades between 0.4 and 2.0 g/t AuEq. Results are as follows;
The 2012 Riscos Mineral Resource estimate is based on 9494 metres in 37 diamond drill holes completed by Calibre in 2010 and 2011 as well as 22 existing drill holes totalling 3126.8 metres. The drilling is generally spaced at 25 to 50 metre intervals along strike and down dip. Additional data related to historical drilling, underground development and past production was used to aid in the geological interpretation.
The Riscos de Oro mineralized zone is a low sulphidation epithermal system consisting of two closely spaced zones of quartz veining, stockworks and breccias with associated sulphides. Limited past production occurred from a shallow open pit (now flooded) and two underground levels down to depth below surface of 91 metres previously accessed through a shaft in the late 1970's. No detailed records exist of this past production.
The Riscos de Oro resource complements the existing 100% Calibre owned gold and silver resources on the Borosi Project located at la Luna deposit (10 km south of Riscos) and Cerro Aeropuerto deposit located 60 km southwest. As outlined in the table below the 100% Calibre owned Inferred resources on the Borosi project total 1,057,750 ozs Au and 8,430,070 ozs Ag (1,190,000 oz AuEq.)
