»
Nicaragua provides a favorable, stable, environment
for mining.
»
The ‘Mining Triangle’ has proven potential and is
under-explored.
»
Calibre Mining, Featherstone Capital, B2Gold, and
Alder Resources are an established, experienced team
who control over 860 km2 of underexplored territory
in an area that has already produced more than 7.9M
oz’s of gold.
»
New porphyry gold-copper discovery at Primavera
with district potential.
»
With up to $7 million in exploration carried by
partners, Calibre is able to rapidly advance its
opportunities in the Mining Triangle.
