What Colibri Resource does

Colibri Resource Corporation is a Canadian junior mining exploration company (TSXV: CBI; OTC: CRUCF; FRA: 2CO1) headquartered in Dieppe, New Brunswick, that acquires and explores precious mineral properties in Sonora, Mexico. The company operates a project generator model, targeting historically high-grade artisanal mining zones and applying modern exploration techniques including reverse circulation and diamond drilling, geological mapping, IP resistivity and airborne/drone magnetic geophysical surveys, surface sampling, and soil gas hydrocarbon (SGH) analysis to identify bulk tonnage open-pit gold opportunities. Its portfolio currently comprises three active projects: the 100%-owned EP Gold Project (4,766 hectares in the Caborca Gold Belt), a 49% joint venture interest in the Pilar Gold & Silver Project operated by Tocvan Ventures, and a 60% interest in the Diamante Gold & Silver Project following a June 2026 consolidation transaction.

The company is pre-revenue and funds its exploration activities entirely through equity capital markets, including non-brokered private placements of units (common shares plus warrants) and convertible debentures. Its go-to-market strategy is capital-markets driven, targeting retail and institutional investors in the junior mining sector via TSX Venture Exchange news releases, a corporate website, downloadable corporate presentations, and direct investor relations outreach. Rather than generating commercial revenue, Colibri creates shareholder value by systematically proving the geological potential of its projects before monetizing them through joint venture partnerships (where partners fund and operate development, as with Tocvan at Pilar) or project divestitures (where it retains Net Smelter Return royalties on future production, as with the Jackie Project sale to Silver Spruce).

Colibri's competitive positioning is anchored by district-scale land positions in proven mining jurisdictions, notably the EP Gold Project which is adjacent to Fresnillo plc concessions totaling over 200,000 hectares in the Caborca Gold Belt that hosts the La Herradura (>15 Moz Au) and Noche Buena (>2 Moz Au) mines. Key JV relationships include Tocvan Ventures (which secured a 50,000-tonne pilot mine permit at Pilar in August 2025), Silver Spruce Resources (Diamante and buyer of the divested Jackie Project), and Bimsa Minera (Diamante). Recent operational milestones include the maiden Phase 1 RC drill program at the Plomo claims (reported March 2026), which intersected gold mineralization in 18 of 22 holes including 7.5 m at 2.92 g/t Au and 30 m at 0.73 g/t Au, alongside the June 2026 consolidation of Colibri's Diamante stake from 50% to 60%.

Revenue model

1. Project Monetization via Joint Ventures: Colibri creates value through sales or partnerships, using strategic collaboration to advance projects and generate returns for shareholders. The company earns interests in projects through exploration expenditure and can sell stakes or retain royalties on future production.
2. Net Smelter Return (NSR) Royalties: When divesting project interests, Colibri retains NSR royalties on future production, such as the 1% NSR retained on the Jackie Project disposition to Silver Spruce Resources.
3. Equity Financing: Pre-revenue exploration stage company funded primarily through non-brokered private placements of units (common shares + warrants) and convertible debentures. Net proceeds fund exploration at Mexican gold projects and general working capital.
