Calibre Intersects Porphyry Copper - Gold Mineralization at Cargo

Jul 25, 2007

Vancouver, British Columbia: Robert D. Brown, President and CEO of Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX-V: CXB) (the "Company") through its 96.3% owned subsidiary Cybele Resources (Australia) Pty Ltd. ("Cybele") is pleased to announce the results of a 1,326 metre Reverse Circulation "RC" drilling program on its Cargo porphyry copper-gold prospect in NSW, Australia. Five of six drill holes intersected significant porphyry style copper and gold mineralization over widths of up to 250 metres. Cybele can acquire a 70% interest in the Cargo property from Golden Cross Operations Pty. Ltd. by spending AUD$5.0 million on exploration and development over 4 years.

The Phase I RC drilling program was designed to better define high-grade targets within a large copper-gold mineralized system with similarities to those at Newcrest's Cadia Valley Operations, 20km to the east-southeast. Six holes on two approximately 200 metre-spaced fences with 100 to 150 metre-spaced collars tested an area southeast of the previously mapped and drill-tested zone of widespread surface hydrothermal alteration and breccia. All holes were drilled to the northeast (045°) at an inclination of -50°. Results are summarized in Table I.

The holes were designed to acquire geological and geochemical information that will be used to vector into the inferred higher-grade parts of the system. The drilling has extended the known area of porphyry-style mineralization over 200m towards the southeast, beyond that intersected by previous reconnaissance drilling. It has also provided key constraints on the likely location of a blind mineralized hydrothermal breccia, and the geometry of individual porphyry intrusions within the southern part of the Cargo Prospect. Based on these encouraging results and a detailed review of previous reconnaissance drilling in the northern part of the prospect, a phase II diamond drilling program will be carried out in the fourth quarter of 2007. This program will test for blind higher grade porphyry copper-gold mineralization at depth in at least two parts of the Cargo Prospect.

SAMPLE PREPARATION AND QA/QC

RC samples were collected from the cyclone, weighed and split in the field using a three tier splitter. One kg sub-samples were shipped directly to ALS-Chemex in Orange, NSW, where they were dried and split. A 1 kg sub-sample was then pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns. Fire assay for gold was carried out on a 50g aliquot. Copper analyses were done at Als-Chemex's Brisbane laboratory as part of a multi-element suite utilizing a four-acid digestion and ICP-ES Finish. Quality Assurance and quality control procedures involved the collection of field duplicates at a frequency of one in every twelve samples. Field blanks were inserted into the sample stream a frequency of one in twelve samples and certified standards (OREAS) at a frequency of one in thirty-three samples.
