Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX: CXB; OTCQX: CXBMF) (“Calibre” or the
“Company”) is pleased to announce a
100,000 metre
resource expansion and discovery drill program at its 100% owned,
fully funded Valentine Gold Mine (“Valentine” or “VGM”) located in
the central region of Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada. The
100,000 metre diamond drilling program is in
addition to the previously announced 50,000 metre ore control
reverse circulation drill program at the Leprechaun and Marathon
deposits and the 10,000 metre Winkie/RAB drilling program testing
bedrock geology. The expanded program will include a robust
geoscience initiative including a high-definition property wide
LiDAR geophysical survey, till sampling and enhanced prospecting to
assist with resource expansion and discovery drilling. This will be
the largest pure exploration drilling campaign in Valentine’s
history.
Darren Hall, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Calibre, stated: “Valentine currently
hosts a robust +5-million-ounce resource base across 8 kilometres
of the 32 kilometre long main Valentine Lake Shear
Zone (“VLSZ”) which provides significant additional discovery
opportunities from an extremely prospective array of exploration
targets with a similar geological setting to the prolific Val-d’Or
and Timmins camps in the Abitibi gold belt. Between the two main
shear zones, the VLSZ and the parallel Northwest Contact Shear
Zone, there is a combined potential of up to 64 kilometres of
high-value discovery opportunities. As we rapidly expand our
knowledge base with incoming results, this exploration program is
designed to confirm the vast potential of the Valentine mineral
system. The district has the potential to significantly extend mine
life and shape our considerations for the Phase 2 mill
expansion, aiming for increased throughput of the process
plant. Our view has always been that Valentine will become
a gold camp, and we believe a program of this scale will begin to
uncover the incredible opportunity.”
Tom Gallo, Senior Vice President, Growth
of Calibre, stated: “The discovery potential across the
250km2 Valentine land package is very strong considering VGM’s
orogenic gold setting. The 100,000 metre expanded drill program
represents the most extensive pure exploration drilling initiative
in Valentine’s history. Outside of the three open pit mine plan
which covers only a small portion of the VLSZ, there is
considerable district scale potential across what we believe to be
64 kilometres of shear zone. Several targets that have not yet been
drilled but are considered high priority include the Eastern Arm,
Northwest Contact, Western Peninsula, and Marathon Northeast where
discovery and delineation drilling will commence this summer.
Additionally, initial 2024 drill results from the Leprechaun and
Frank deposits highlight resource expansion potential as well as
bolster confidence in model performance, substantiating the Mineral
Reserve estimate indicating an increase in ore tonnes and ounces
(see news release dated February 14, 2024). Strong down plunge
potential of the existing Leprechaun, Berry and Marathon open pits
highlights an additional underground mining opportunity outside of
the current 14 year open pit mine plan, warranting deep drilling to
follow up on historical drilling of high-grade zones (see news
release dated April 3, 2024).”
