Colibri Resource Corporation Announces Second Batch Results from Drilling at Pilar Gold Project
DIEPPE, NB, May 31, 2018 /CNW/ - (CBI: TSX-V) – Colibri Resource Corp. ("Colibri" or the "Company") wishes to announce assay results from 16 more holes completed on its Phase 1 reverse circulation (RC) drilling program on its 100% owned Pilar Gold Project in Sonora, Mexico. Results include an intersection of 5.37 grams per tonne (g/t) Au over an intersection length of 3.0 meters (m) in hole JES-18-19 which was part of a longer intersection of 40.5m of 0.73 g/t.
All holes drilled in the 2018 campaign to date at Pilar have intersected gold mineralization ranging from anomalous to high grade. Hole JES-18-3, previously released (see Colibri NR dated May 8, 2018) intersected 8.16 g/t Au over an intersection length of 9 m. Significant intersection results for the last 16 holes drilled at Pilar are presented in table 1 below and indicated on the hole locations are presented on the attached map. In addition to the relatively long intersection in hole JES-18-19, similar intersections in hole JES-18-6 (0.31 g/t Au over an intersection length of 22.5 m including 0.73 g/t Au over 6 m) and hole JES-18-14 (0.20 g/t Au over an intersection length of 52.5 m including 0.51 g/t Au over an intersection length of 12m) confirm the previously interpreted 0.20 g/t Au mineral envelope comprising the Main Zone.
The objectives of the Phase 1 drill program at Pilar are to test for continuity within previously interpreted zones of mineralization, test for extensions to the known mineralization, and explore locally for new zones of gold mineralization. In addition, the Company has recently completed a soil geochemistry survey of the eastern half of the Pilar property. To date, 2,117 metres (20 holes) of the planned 3,000 m Phase 1 RC drill program have been completed. The Company is reviewing the recent drilling and exploration results and is now drilling the final 900 m of the Phase 1 drill program.

About the Pilar Gold Project
The Pilar Gold Project is strategically located in the historic Sonora gold district which has produced the majority of gold mined in Mexico. The Pilar Gold Project consists of low-sulfidation epithermal mineralization in a highly fractured, altered, and highly oxidized volcanic host rock. Two zones of mineralization have been interpreted based on surface exposure, trenching, and historical drilling and include the Main Zone and North Zone. A third target area, referred to as the 4 trench target, has been prioritized for drill testing. Metallurgical testing (bottle roll) has shown an average recovery of 92%. The Project is currently drilling the first phase (3,000m) of a planned two-phase program for 2018 which will include drilling of up to a total of 10,000m. The program is designed to confirm and expand known mineralization at Pilar and use this information to complete an initial, NI 43-101 compliant, resource estimate.
