Calibre Intersects 8.53 Metres of 4.23 g/t Gold And 384.86 g/t Silver at The Riscos de Oro Gold-Silver Property, Nicaragua

Aug 19, 2010

Vancouver, British Columbia: Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX-V: CXB) (the "Company" or "Calibre") is pleased to announce the completion of drilling and the final release of assay results for the 2009-2010 drill program on the La Luna and Riscos de Oro projects within the Borosi Concessions in northeast Nicaragua. The concessions are subject to an option agreement, whereby B2Gold Corp. may earn an initial 51% interest by completing C$8 million in exploration expenditures over a period of three years. The final set of results are highlighted by the highest grade gold and silver assays intercepted to date by Calibre on the Riscos de Oro epithermal gold-silver project. Drill hole RD10-009 intercepted 2810 g/t silver and 17.85 g/t gold over 0.95 metres within a larger interval of 8.53 metres grading 384.86 g/t silver and 4.23 g/t gold. The mineralization is characterized by banded sulphosalts hosted within low sulphidation epithermal banded quartz veins and quartz vein breccias.

"Our drill program at Riscos de Oro has confirmed and expanded high grade gold and silver low sulphidation epithermal mineralization to a depth of 200 metres below historic open pit and underground workings. An additional ore shoot of potentially similar dimensions containing high grade gold and silver has also been located 250 metres along strike from the primary workings" stated Robert Brown, President and CEO of Calibre. "As a company, we are very excited about the initial success we have had at Riscos and look forward to expanding our exploration work there shortly. This program has only tested a small strike extent of the mineralized vein system that has been identified to extend over 2 km on the Riscos concession and a further 4 km to the southwest onto adjacent concessions held by Calibre."

Calibre completed over 5100 metres of diamond drilling over a four month period on three separate targets; Riscos de Oro, La Luna and Bambana. Highlights of the assay results for the completed program are listed in tables 1 and 2. Updated plan maps, cross sections and longitudinal sections can be found at the company's website www.calibremining.com.

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.
