(MENAFN- Newsfile Corp) Dieppe, New Brunswick--(Newsfile Corp. - December 8, 2025) - Colibri Resource Corporation (TSXV: CBI) ("Colibri" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at its flagship EP Gold Project, a 4,766-hectare land package strategically located in the Caborca Gold Belt, Sonora, Mexico.

About the Caborca Region

Sonora is one of Mexico's most productive and historically significant mining jurisdictions, with more than four centuries of continuous gold and silver production. The Caborca Gold Belt, in particular, is recognized for its robust mineral endowment, long mining history, and well-developed infrastructure that supports active exploration and mine development.

The Caborca Gold Belt hosts several producing mines and advanced exploration projects operated by some of Mexico's largest gold and silver companies such as Fresnillo plc at its La Herradura Mine, as well as established operators such as Southern Copper Corporation and Alamos Gold Inc., underscoring its significance as an active mining district.
