Calibre Reports an Equipment Failure in the Carbon Plant at Libertad; Full year Production Guidance Maintained

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX: CXB; OTCQX: CXBMF) (the "Company" or "Calibre") reports that an equipment failure occurred in the ADR plant at the Libertad mill in Nicaragua. In accordance with Calibre’s high standards and protocols, an investigation is underway to determine the cause of the failure and work to prevent future issues. At this time the strip circuit is down for repair and the Company anticipates Q3 gold sales to be impacted by approximately 15,000 ounces. Mining and processing operations continue, and gold in-circuit will accumulate until the strip circuit is fully operational. At this time, we do not anticipate adjusting full year production guidance.
