Exploration success at La Luna
Calibre outlined a new low sulphidation epithermal gold-silver vein trend at La Luna gold project, northeast Nicaragua, during the 2009/2010 exploration season. The La Luna project was advanced through sampling and trenching to the current drill testing stage.

The La Luna project is located approximately 20 kilometres northeast of the town of Rosita and is accessible by gravel road. A small past producer, the La Luna historic gold mine, is located on the La Luna project.

New zone of epithermal veins outlined by soil and rock sampling
Calibre completed 8.4 line-km of infill soil sampling that when combined with historic soil data outlined a 2,200 metre anomalous gold-in-soil trend that bisects the concessions. A new 1,100 metre by 50 metre zone of low-sulphidation style epithermal quartz veins was delineated in the northern extension of the gold-in-soil trend. Mineralization along the new epithermal vein trend was also defined by 23 rock grab samples returning the following grades:
  • 5.6 g/t gold, average grade
  • 55.4 g/t gold, one sample
  • 7.5 g/t silver, average grade
  • up to 436 g/t silver
Trenching confirms presence of new zone of epithermal veins
The northern extension of the La Luna vein system was tested by seven trenches over a strike length of 900 metres. Highlights from the 120 metres of trenching include:
  • 3.49 g/t gold over 4.2 metres (BTR10-009)
  • 2.57 g/t gold over 4.5 metres (BTR10-010)
  • 4.93 g/t gold and 191.80 g/t silver over 3.2 metres (BTR10-011)
  • 3.20 g/t gold and 90.01 g/t silver over 2.6 metres (BTR10-012)
  • 3.77 g/t gold over 2.7 metres (BTR10-017)
Drill program to test new vein system
A diamond drill program is planned as the next stage of testing of the newly outlined epithermal style mineralization. Four holes will test the depth and extent of mineralization along the 1,100 northern vein extension. Two holes to the south will test the depth potential of the historic La Luna pit where trenching by previous operators assayed 3.5 g/t gold over 12.6 metres. A further five holes will test the system at depth.
