Limon Complex

The Limon mineral concessions have produced over 3.6 million1 ounces historically and continue delivering reliable production while new opportunities for resource discovery and expansion continue to be identified. Calibre’s exploration focus at Limon during the coming year will target additional high grade vein shoots identified along strike of the productive Panteon, Limon and Talaveras vein systems as well as newly recognized vein trends in less explored areas of the district. Calibre currently has four core rigs that are actively exploring at Limon.

2021 Mineral Reserves at the Limon Complex totaled 529,000 ounces of gold, net of 2021 production. Despite the application of incrementally higher metal price assumptions and lower cut-off grades, both the Limon open pit and underground reserve grades have improved over year-end 2020, increasing from 4.24 to 4.30 g/t Au and from 5.14 to 5.49 g/t Au respectively. Limon’s underground reserve growth was largely driven by resource expansion and conversion in two new mineralized shoots at Panteon and Atravesada which were discovered during 2020.

Infill drilling during the year upgraded Inferred Mineral Resources into the Indicated Mineral Resource category with total Indicated Mineral Resources growing slightly to 1,175,000 ounces gold (inclusive of reserves) with grades remaining relatively flat at 2.69 g/t Au.

Libertad Complex

The Libertad mineral concessions have produced over 1.9 million1 ounces historically. Current exploration drilling is focused on near mill targets including Volcan and Tranca, both of which represent solid opportunities for the delineation of additional open pit resources with the potential for rapid advancement through development to production in the near to mid-term. During 2021 exploration drilling at the Volcan target returned very encouraging results from a 1.5 km section of a 5 km vein trend. See 2021 drill result news releases, November 16, 2021 Calibre Discovers High-Grade Gold Mineralization at Libertad’s Volcan Target, June 8, 2021 Calibre Mining Intercepts 13.83 g/t Gold over 4.4 metres, 11.37 g/t Gold over 5.4 metres and 16.78 g/t Gold over 2.8 metres within 10 Kilometres of the Libertad Mill. In addition, our field crews continue to rapidly identify and drill test newly recognized vein systems at satellite targets such as Amalia located within 35 km of the Libertad mill. Calibre currently has four core rigs that are actively exploring at Libertad and Amalia.

As a result of the Company’s (“hub-and-spoke”) operating strategy and the ability to leverage the surplus capacity of the Libertad mill mineral reserves for the Libertad Complex increased by 188,000 ounces year over year after 2021 depletion. Mineral Reserves at end-of-year 2021 total 484,000 ounces of gold at a grade of 4.81 g/t Au including Pavon mine and the Eastern Borosi Project. During 2021 Calibre initiated mining and steadily increased ore hauling from the Pavon Norte high-grade open pit mine demonstrating reliable production. During 2022, the Company will continue mining and hauling at Pavon Norte while advancing Pavon Central starter pit which is anticipated to begin production by Q4 at 8.32 g/t Au. Additionally, at the Eastern Borosi Project, Calibre successfully converted 220,000 ounces of inferred resources to reserves during 2021. Calibre is advancing permitting at Eastern Borosi and anticipates construction to commence in H1 2023 and mining and hauling to begin during H2, 2023. Pavon and Eastern Borosi represent exciting emerging gold districts that remain largely underexplored, especially when viewed in comparison with the prolific Limon and Libertad districts.

Pavon Mine

During 2021 Calibre initiated mining at Pavon Norte, the first of three known gold deposits hosting mineral resources in the district. Calibre is advancing development and permitting at Pavon Central with the objective of commencing mining by 2023. Combined 2021 end-of-year mineral reserves for the Pavon Norte and Central open pits total 165,000 ounces averaging 5.07 g/t gold. Pavon Central which hosts an average reserve grade of 6.49 g/t gold, notably higher than the average 3.28 g/t gold grade at Pavon Norte, is expected to contribute to 2023 and 2024 production growth. The Company currently has two core rigs conducting resource expansion drilling at Pavon Central and South.

Eastern Borosi Project

Calibre controls a 100% interest in the 176 km2 Eastern Borosi Gold-Silver Property (“EBP”), located in northeastern Nicaragua. The project is located along a paved highway approximately 400 km from the Company’s Libertad Complex, which has approximately 1.0 million tonnes per annum of surplus processing capacity, providing a low-cost opportunity for organic growth.

During 2021 the Company significantly advanced the Guapinol/Vancouver and Riscos De Oro gold deposits toward commercial development with the completion of resource delineation and conversion drilling done in parallel with detailed technical studies, environmental baseline work, community consultations, geotechnical and metallurgical test work which has resulted in an inaugural Mineral Reserve declaration for the project. At year-end Calibre had completed these programs and submitted applications for permits to advance the project toward commercial production which is anticipated to commence during the second half of 2023. Once in production the Eastern Borosi Project will represent the Company’s fourth source of high grade feed to the Libertad mill.

Reinterpretation of historic surface and exploration drilling data has significantly advanced the understanding of the Eastern Borosi district and its overall potential for new discoveries. Calibre currently has two core rigs actively exploring multiple earlier stage targets at Eastern Borosi.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control

Calibre maintains a Quality Assurance/Quality Control ("QA/QC") program for all its exploration projects using industry best practices. Key elements of the QA/QC program include verifiable chain of custody for samples, regular insertion of certified reference standards and blanks, and duplicate check assays. Drill core is halved and shipped in sealed bags to Bureau Veritas in Managua, Nicaragua, an independent analytical services provider with global certifications for Quality Management Systems ISO 9001:2008, Environmental Management: ISO14001 and Safety Management OH SAS 18001 and AS4801. Prior to analysis, samples are prepared at Veritas' Managua facility and then shipped to its analytical facility in Vancouver, Canada. Gold analyses are routinely performed via fire assay/AA finish methods. For greater precision of high-grade material, samples assaying 10 g/t Au or higher are re-assayed by fire assay with gravimetric finish. Analyses for silver and other elements of interest are performed via Induction Coupled Plasmaspectrometry.
