VANCOUVER, Feb.
24, 2012 /CNW/ - Colibri Resource Corporation (CBI: TSXV) is pleased to announce progress on its Ramard silver project located
near the municipality of Carbo, State of Sonora, Mexico.
Colibri
recently completed a comprehensive exploration program over the Ramard
property, which included geologic mapping, a systematic rock and soil
geochemical sampling program, and a ground-based 3D Induced
Polarization geophysical survey.
The geophysical survey identified several Induced Polarization (I.P.)
chargeability and resistivity anomalies which correspond to surface
geochemical anomalies of silver, zinc, lead and copper.
One such
anomaly underlies the La Bronca zone, the location for a planned 2,000
meter diamond drilling program that is now scheduled to start March 5th.
The start date was delayed to allow complete interpretation of work
conducted during the past months and to focus detailed mapping and
sampling in areas with surface geochemical anomalies.
In addition to the La Bronca Zone, several additional surface anomalies
were found to contain strongly anomalous values of the metals noted
over the 2,000 hectare study area within the Ramard claim.
The 3D Induced Polarization geophysical survey revealed a large I.P.
chargeability anomaly which coincides with the surface expression of
the alteration and mineralization at the La Bronca Zone.
The
chargeability high is approximately 400 meters wide by 600 meters long,
and persists to a depth of at least 300 meters, which is the effective
depth limit of the I.P.
survey.
Surface sampling and percussion
drilling programs carried out in 2006, 2007, and 2011 have indicated
the presence of significant silver-lead-zinc skarn-type mineralization
in what is a historic small-scale silver producing area.
The Company is
very pleased with the results of the surface exploration program and
looks forward to initiating the drill program.
