Calibre Provides Update on Borosi Project, Nicaragua

Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CXB) (the "Company" or "Calibre") is pleased
to provide an update on activities at the Borosi Concessions, northeast
Nicaragua. 


Highlights



--  Calibre executed a letter agreement with B2Gold Corp. extending the
    deadline for executing a Definitive Joint Venture Agreement on the
    Primavera Project and surrounding Borosi concessions to September 9,
    2013 
--  B2Gold continues exploration activities on the Primavera Project 
--  Additional trench assay results have been received for the 100% owned
    Montes de Oro gold project that follow-up on the initial discovery
    outlined in trench MTR13-009 which returned 17.0 m grading 17.95 g/t Au.
    New trench results include: 39.4 m grading 0.96 g/t Au (MTR13-018)
    including 9.0 m grading 3.1 g/t Au, 8.0 m grading 3.07 g/t Au (MTR13-
    017) and 5.5 m grading 3.65 g/t Au (MTR13-08) 
--  Work continues to define high grade gold-silver mineralization at the
    Guapinol-Sorpresa Trend in the 100% owned Eastern Epithermal District 



President and CEO, Greg Smith stated, "Calibre continues to advance the Borosi
Concessions on several fronts, including concurrent work programs underway with
B2Gold Corp. ("B2Gold") and Alder Resources Ltd. ("Alder"), exploration
activities on both of Calibre's 100% owned ground, and the Eastern Epithermal
and Siuna projects. Work continues to outline and define new high quality
gold-silver-copper discoveries." 


Calibre's Borosi Concessions in northeast Nicaragua include a 100% interest in
429 km2 of mineral concessions that contain a NI 43-101 resource in 3
gold-silver deposits at a 0.6 g/t AuEq cutoff of 10.75 million tonnes grading
3.06 g/t Au and 24.38 g/t Ag containing 1,057,000 ozs gold and 8,430,000 ozs
silver (see Calibre News Release dated September 5, 2012). Calibre has joint
venture exploration programs underway with B2Gold on 322.3 km2 of concessions,
which includes the Primavera gold-copper porphyry discovery, and with Alder on
the 33.6 km2 Rosita gold-copper-silver project.


On July 23rd, 2013 Calibre signed with B2Gold an extension to the Definitive
Agreement Deadline for the Joint Venture Agreement, which has been extended to
September 9, 2013. B2Gold and Calibre executed a Letter Agreement dated April
24, 2013 which contemplates B2Gold having the right to acquire an additional 19%
interest (70.0% total) in the Primavera gold-copper project and surrounding
Borosi concessions by spending $6.0 million on exploration over 3 years. An
exploration program managed by B2Gold continues on the Primavera gold-copper
porphyry project. Recent work has focused on detailed surface exploration north
and west of the main Primavera Zone designed to identify faulted targets within
the system. Additional work has included geochemistry and geophysics on the San
Isidro target located five kilometres to the west of Primavera. San Isidro has a
similar geological, geochemical, and geophysical signature to the main Primavera
Target.


At the 100% owned Montes de Oro Target in the Siuna District, Calibre has
completed additional trenching. Recent results from MTR13-018 and MTR13-020 show
anomalous gold throughout the length of the trenches (39.6m of 0.96 g/t Au and
50m of 0.53 g/t Au - see following table) with a higher grade interval of 8-9m
present in both trenches. The top composite in MTR13-018 did not change as a
result of the extension and remains 9.0m at 3.11 g/t Au. A new composite of 8.5m
of 1.66 g/t Au was returned for MTR13-020. Current interpretation has the
northeast zone of higher grade mineralization extending into the area of
MTR13-009 and MTR13-019. All of the trenches along the northeast trend also
contain highly anomalous zinc values. Trench MTR13-025 was completed with a
total length of 27.90m and includes the massive sulphide horizon in contact with
strongly propylitic and silica altered sparsely porphyritic andesite. The
contact orientation varies from sub-horizontal to 40 degrees to the northwest.
The sulphide zone is hosted in sparsely porphyritic andesite with large patches
and nodules of dark grey fine grained sulphide made up of pyrite, chalcopyrite,
sphalerite and likely pyrrhotite. The adjacent altered volcanics also have up to
4% sulphide and contain minor breccia zones. Assay results are pending for this
trench. Trench MTR13-007 was extended 23.5m to the southwest to connect it with
the start of MTR13-018. The entire extension contained strongly oxidized and
argillized diorite with moderate to strong manganese oxide staining in
fractures.

At the Eastern Epithermal District new rock sampling results returned from the
La Sorpresa shaft show strongly anomalous gold, silver and lead with lesser
anomalous copper and zinc. Highlights include grab rock samples assaying 10.7
g/t Au, 380 g/t Ag, and 2.69% Pb. The mineralized structure visible in a small
mining shaft is approximately 0.7 metres in width. Additional exploration
included mapping of the artisanal pits located along the Guapinol - La Sorpresa
trend collecting structural measurements and sampling of new exposures. The
structure contains two coherent quartz veins ranging from 5 to 20cm in width.
The alteration halo has moderate to strong chlorite and argillic alteration
similar to the Riscos de Oro deposit. The Guapinol-California Target on the
southern end of the ten kilometre long trend continues to be the highest
priority structure of the Eastern Epithermal Camp vein targets based on the
coherent flow facies andesite host rocks, larger vein widths, density of
structures and gold and silver grades.


Updated maps detailing the result of the current exploration programs will be
posted on the Company's web site at www.Calibremining.com. 


Quality assurance and quality control procedures include the systematic
insertion of blanks, standards and duplicates into the rock sample strings.
Samples are placed in sealed bags and shipped directly to Acme Labs in Managua,
Nicaragua for sample preparation and then to Acme Labs in Vancouver, Canada for
gold fire assay and ICP multi element analyses. The technical content in this
news release was read and approved by Gregory Smith, P.Geo, President and CEO of
the Company who is the Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101.
