Calibre Identifies New Gold In-Soil Anomalies at Riscos De Oro

Sep 16, 2011

Vancouver, British Columbia: Edward Farrauto, President and CEO of Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX-V: CXB) (the "Company" or "Calibre") is pleased to announce additional exploration results from the Company's 100%-owned Riscos de Oro epithermal gold-silver project in the Borosi Concession of Northeast Nicaragua.

Calibre has received final assay results for a 2011 regional soil survey program at Riscos that included over 1,500 soil samples. The results show anomalous gold -- arsenic over a three kilometre strike length coincident with the Riscos de Oro vein trend in the vicinity of the historic deposit. Additional anomalies have been identified extending a further four kilometres of strike length towards the southwest. Areas of anomalous Au-As-Pb-Zn have also been highlighted in the El Paraiso area and at the Central Zone.

Based on the success of the soil survey, the Company has commenced a trenching program along the trend of the inferred vein system to further investigate the strong Au-As anomalies identified. Combined results from soil samples and trenches will be used to plan reconnaissance drill holes along the seven kilometre structure that hosts the Riscos de Oro deposit. The resource delineation drill program on the Riscos de Oro deposit is on-going with a second drill rig having been mobilized to site. As detailed in a previous news release dated August 24, 2011, the drilling program is designed to further delineate high grade epithermal gold-silver vein stockwork mineralization encountered in previous drilling including 7.69 g/t Au and 211.80 g/t Ag over 10.6 metres in RD11-012 and 10.25 g/t Au and 288.25 g/t Ag over 5.4 metres in RD11-010.

Additional gold in-soil maps and results as well as current information on the Riscos de Oro program can be found at www.calibremining.com.

Quality assurance and quality control procedures include the systematic insertion of blanks, standards and duplicates into the soil and rock sample strings. Samples are placed in sealed bags and shipped directly to ALS CHEMEX labs in North Vancouver, BC for gold fire assay and ICP multi element analyses. The technical content in this news release was read and approved by Gregory Smith, P.Geo, Vice President, Exploration and a Qualified Person ("QP") as defined by NI 43-101.
