Calibre Files To Deregister From The Sec In The USA

Jan 29, 2009

Vancouver, British Columbia: Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX-V: CXB) (the "Company" or "Calibre") announces that it has filed today a Form 15F with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") with the intention of voluntarily terminating the registration of its common shares under section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). The Company expects that this termination of registration will become effective 90 days after its filing with the SEC. As a result of this filing, Calibre's reporting obligations with the SEC, including its obligations to file annual reports on Form 20-F, 10-Q and reports on Form 6-K, will immediately be suspended. The Company's shares will no longer be quoted in the United States on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol "CXBMF" once the termination of registration is effective.

Calibre will continue to comply with its Canadian continuous disclosure obligations by making filings with the applicable Canadian securities regulators via the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at www.sedar.com. These continuous disclosure filings will include the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and other financial related information. Calibre's common shares will continue to trade in Canada on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "CXB".

Calibre is current with all reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and is not listed on any U.S. exchange. In determining to terminate the registration of its common shares under the Exchange Act, Calibre considered that the administrative burdens and costs associated with being a U.S. reporting company have significantly increased in the past few years, particularly in light of SEC Sarbanes-Oxley requirements. The preparation time and costs associated with preparing U.S. filings and meeting SEC regulatory requirements are substantial, and overall the Company's management believes that these administrative burdens and their associated costs far outweigh any benefits derived from the Company's registration with the SEC.

Calibre Mining Corp. is a TSX Venture Exchange listed company (TSX.V: CXB) that is focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of gold and copper deposits. In addition to the on-going exploration program in Australia, Calibre is continuing to advance the Pt. Leamington gold-zinc massive sulphide deposit in Newfoundland, Canada.
