Drill hole RD11-010 intercepted three zones of gold and silver mineralization, highlighted by 10.25 g/t gold and 288.25 g/t silver over 5.4 metres (16.26 g/t AuEq1,2 over 5.4 metres) in the lower most zone. The mineralization is characterized by banded sulphosalts hosted within low sulphidation epithermal banded quartz veins and quartz vein breccias.

"Our second drill program at Riscos de Oro continues to confirm and expand high grade gold and silver low sulphidation epithermal mineralization well below the historic open pit and underground workings" stated Robert Brown, President and CEO of Calibre. "Drill hole RD11-010 was drilled in the vicinity of historical drill hole RIS-9 which intersected gold and silver mineralization 200 metres below surface (12.89 g/t Au and 13.23 g/t Ag over 7.5 metres). The hole also stepped out approximately 50 metres from RD10-001 (2.44 g/t Au and 292.60 g/t Ag over 5.8 metres). Drilling suggests that the Riscos de Oro gold-silver deposit is composed of multiple horizons, the continuation of these parallel zones directly below the mine and along strike of the deposit will be tested with subsequent drilling"
