COLIBRI COMMENCES DRILLING ON RAMARD SILVER PROPERTY, SONORA, MEXICO
Colibri Resource Corp. has started the 2,000-metre drill program on the Ramard property in Sonora, Mexico. The Ramard property consists of over 4,000 hectares of mineral concessions located 100 kilometres north of the city of Hermosillo, Sonora, wholly owned by Colibri's Mexican subsidiary, Minera Halcones. In 2006 and 2007, drilling was completed on the property with a small, portable core-drill rig and a percussion rig, reported in a series of 2007 news releases. Drill collar locations and representative drill sections are shown at the company's website.
The drill program will focus primarily on the La Bronca zone in areas previously identified containing significant levels of silver, zinc and lead mineralization. A direct-rotary percussion-hammer rig producing a 4.5-inch-diameter bore hole is being utilized at the site rather than the previously announced diamond core rig. Drill samples are transported daily to Inspectorate Exploration and Mining Service's prep lab in Hermosillo prior to being assayed at its lab in Vancouver, B.C.
Ramard silver project
Previous drill programs at the La Bronca and Verde zones intercepted concentrations of up to 1,235 grams per tonne silver and greater than 20 per cent combined lead/zinc and 1 per cent copper (see the company's website) over widths of 1.5 metres, all at less than 40 metres depth from the surface. Nine of the 95 total borings contained a silver intercept greater than 310 grams per tonne (10 troy ounces). Mineralization in the Bronca zone (81 holes) occurs over at least one-kilometre length, 300-metre width. All eight drill holes at the Verde zone cut zinc mineralization within skarned calcareous shale and limestone. RPD83 cut 10.5 metres averaging 7.25 per cent zinc between the surface and 10.5-metre depth.
