Calibre Provides Exploration Update

Nov 10, 2008

Vancouver, British Columbia: Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX-V: CXB) (the "Company" or "Calibre") provides an exploration update on the completion of the Company's 2008 exploration and drilling programs.

TRUNDLE PROJECT, New South Wales, Australia Final assay results have now been received from a five hole, 2600 metre diamond drilling program completed at the Company's Trundle License in Central NSW, Australia. Calibre may earn a 70% interest in the Trundle tenement from Western Plains Resources Ltd. (ASX:WPG), by completing exploration expenditures totalling AUS$3 million over a three year period with a minimum work commitment of $600,000 in the first year. Calibre can earn an additional 20% interest in the project by completing a Feasibility Report. The completed drill program tested aero-magnetic and soil geochemical anomalies for porphyry associated copper-gold mineralization at the Mordialloc and Bloomfield's targets. Encouraging results from Mordialloc indicate the presence of mineralized porphyry intrusions. The intrusions are potassically altered and exhibit several different sets of mineralized quartz veinlets with pyrite, chalcopyrite and traces of molybdenite, and bornite hosted in aquartz monzonite porphyry.

David Heberlein, Calibre's VP Exploration states "We are very encouraged by the results from this initial drilling campaign; geological indicators suggest that we could be close to a mineralized carapace of a porphyry system at Mordialloc. We are now working on our geological interpretations to develop vectors towards the stronger mineralized parts of the system that will guide future drilling"

Drill hole details are summarized in Table 1.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control - Drill core was logged, photographed, cut, and sampled at the Company's Trundle and Trend field office. Half core samples from the Trundle project were delivered to ALS-Chemex's Orange laboratory, where they were dried, crushed and pulverized. Fire assay for gold was carried out on a 50g aliquot. Copper analyses were done as part of a multi-element suite utilizing aqua regia and ICP-AES finish. Half core samples from the Trend project were delivered to ALS-Chemex's Elko laboratory, where they were dried crushed and pulverized. Fire assay for gold was carried out on a 30g aliquot. Quality assurance and quality control procedures involved the collection and insertion of field blanks, field duplicates and certified standards into the sample stream at a frequency of one in thirty samples as well as collection and analysis of crushed and pulp duplicates.
