By: Newsfile

Strategically Located Within and Adjacent to Fresnillo Plc Concessions

Dieppe, New Brunswick--(Newsfile Corp. - December 8, 2025) - Colibri Resource Corporation (TSXV: CBI) ("Colibri" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at its flagship EP Gold Project, a 4,766-hectare land package strategically located in the Caborca Gold Belt, Sonora, Mexico. A reverse circulation ("RC") drill rig is now on site, crews have been mobilized, and the first holes are now being drilled—marking the beginning of a new phase of exploration for the Company.

Prime Positioning in a Major Mining District

The EP Gold Project is strategically situated within and adjacent to the extensive concession holdings of Fresnillo plc—the world's largest primary silver producer and Mexico's leading gold producer. Fresnillo's dominant land position in the district underscores the significance of the region and highlights the favourable geological setting in which Colibri operates.

About the Caborca Region

Sonora is one of Mexico's most productive and historically significant mining jurisdictions, with more than four centuries of continuous gold and silver production. The Caborca Gold Belt, in particular, is recognized for its robust mineral endowment, long mining history, and well-developed infrastructure that supports active exploration and mine development.

Regional Mining Environment

The Caborca Gold Belt hosts several producing mines and advanced exploration projects operated by some of Mexico's largest gold and silver companies such as Fresnillo plc at its La Herradura Mine, as well as established operators such as Southern Copper Corporation and Alamos Gold Inc., underscoring its significance as an active mining district. This long-established mining ecosystem provides strong logistical advantages, experienced labour, and a comprehensive support network for active exploration programs across the region, including Colibri's ongoing RC drilling campaign. Other public companies with exploration or development activities in the region include Osisko Development Corp., Minera Alamos Inc., and Aztec Minerals Corp., each of which maintains mineral projects within the broader Caborca area, reflecting the presence of ongoing mining and exploration activities in the district.
