Dieppe, July 23, 2021 - Colibri Resource Corp. (TSXV: CBI) ("Colibri" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its partner Silver Spruce Resources has released an update with respect to the Phase 1 exploration drilling at the El Mezquite Au-Ag property ("El Mezquite" or the "Property"). The first seven (7) drill holes are complete and have been submitted to the laboratory, and Layne de Mexico has added a second drill to the Property to aim to complete the 2,475 metres of drilling by the end of next week.
The technical team has been expanded with additional geologists and samplers to expedite progress. The program was delayed for a period of four weeks by local security concerns which required the demobilization of the team and equipment as a precaution.
