Calibre Intersects 11.05 G/T Gold And 72.30 G/T Silver Over 2.30 Metres At The Borosi Gold-Silver-Copper Concessions, Nicaragua

Jun 30, 2010

Vancouver, British Columbia: Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX-V: CXB) (the "Company" or "Calibre") is pleased to announce additional high grade gold and silver assay results from its continuing drill program on both the Riscos de Oro and La Luna epithermal gold-silver projects within the 100% owned Borosi Concessions in northeast Nicaragua. Highlights of the drilling include 11.05 g/t gold and 72.30 g/t silver over 2.30 metres in hole RD10-003 from Riscos de Oro and 5.08 g/t gold and 36.65 g/t silver over 2.0 metres in hole LL10-006 from La Luna.

Robert Brown, President and CEO stated: "The results from Riscos de Oro drilling now confirm the continuity of mineralization to a depth of 210 metres below the historical workings, while results from La Luna have confirmed the mineralization of the La Luna vein system over an 1100 metres strike length and to a depth of 106 metres. Of the 10 drill holes completed to date on the Riscos de Oro and La Luna targets 8 holes or 80% have intersected significant widths and grades of gold-silver mineralization verifying the extensive and robust nature of these precious metal systems. Both zones remain open along strike and at depth."

Drill Holes LL10-003, LL10-005 did not contain significant results.

Riscos de Oro Project

Riscos de Oro is a northeast trending, low sulphidation epithermal gold-silver quartz vein system that has been traced on surface for over 2.0 kilometres. Riscos de Oro was previously mined by both open pit and underground methods from 1972 through to 1981. The main ore shoot at Riscos de Oro was only mined down to an approximate depth of 93 metres below surface and along strike for 300 metres. Calibre's first drill hole at Riscos de Oro (RD10-001 results released June 1, 2010) successfully intersected this zone at a vertical depth of 155 metres below surface and confirmed the continuation of high grade gold and silver. Two additional drill holes (RD10-002 and RD10-003) have both intersected the main Risco's ore shoot at a vertical depth of 200 metres and 275 metres respectively, and confirm that mineralization within the Riscos main ore shoot extends from surface to 355 metres down dip. Highlights from this drilling include 11.50 g/t gold and 72.30 g/t silver over 2.30 metres (RD10-003). The Riscos quartz vein system is open at depth and along strike. Four additional drill holes are scheduled to be completed on the Riscos de Oro vein system during the current drill program.

La Luna Project

La Luna is a northwest trending, gold and silver bearing, epithermal quartz vein system which has been delineated for over 2.0 kilometres through a soil sampling and trenching program. The initial drill hole (LL10-002 -- results previously released June 1, 2010) confirmed the depth extent of mineralization below a small historic open cut in the southern zone. A second drill hole (LL10-004) was drilled underneath LL10-002 to further test the depth extent of mineralization and successfully intercepted the quartz vein returning 1.63 g/t gold over 6.28 metres at a vertical depth of 110 metres below surface.

The strike extent of La Luna has been tested by a series of drill holes on 250 metre fences along an 1100 metre north west trending ridge. Hole LL10-006, 1082 metres north of LL10-002, returned encouraging results of 5.08 g/t gold and 36.65 g/t silver over 2.0 metres at a depth of 115 metres below surface, while Hole LL10-007 successfully identified two mineralized zones; one zone within 15 metres of surface returning 2.99 g/t gold and 30.66 g/t silver over 1.75 metres and the second at a vertical depth of 100 metres returning 2.40 g/t gold over 3.35 metres. Four additional drill holes are scheduled to be completed on the La Luna vein system during the current drill program.

Borosi Concessions

The Borosi concessions cover approximately 71,000 hectares within the historic Mining Triangle of Nicaragua. The concessions are subject to an option agreement, whereby B2Gold Corp. may earn an initial 51% in the Borosi concessions by completing C$8 million in exploration expenditures over a period of three years. Calibre and B2Gold have agreed to extend the C$2.5 million year one expenditure commitment to October 1, 2010; Calibre remains as operator.

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.
