Colibri Resource Option Partner Tocvan Ventures Reports Gold Recovery of 92% from Pilar and Provides Update on Drilling Progress
Dieppe, May 4, 2021 - Colibri Resource Corp. (TSXV: CBI) ("Colibri" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Tocvan Ventures Corp. ("Tocvan") has reported to the Company the results of preliminary metallurgical testing from the Pilar Gold Project ("Pilar") which includes gold recoveries of 91.6% and 90.6% from two composite samples collected from drill hole JES-20-32. Hole JES-20-32, which was drilled by Tocvan in December 2020 in the central portion of the Main Zone at Pilar, intersected 1.6 grams per tonnes (g/t) Au over an intersection length of 94.6 metres ("m") including a high-grade interval of 10.8 g/t Au and 38 g/t Ag over an intersection length of 9.2 m. Two composite samples were completed from the hole grading 1.15 g/t Au and 0.63 g/t Au. Cyanide bottle roll tests were completed at SGS Laboratories in Durango, Mexico. The results indicate that at a retention time of 48 hours, maximum dissolution can be reached of 91% for the lower grade composite and 92% for the higher grade composite (see table below)
