Mr. Robert Brown, President and CEO of Calibre Mining Corporation is pleased to announce that the Company has initiated a 7-hole 3,700 metre diamond drill program on the Trundle copper gold property, New South Wales, Australia. The Trundle property is a 78 square kilometre tenement (EL4512) in Central New South Wales, immediately adjacent to the township of Trundle, approximately 355 kilometres west of Sydney. The North Parkes copper-gold district is 25 kilometres to the east and has produced 864,500 ounces of gold and 616,400 tonnes of copper. Calibre is earning a 70% interest in the Trundle tenement from Western Plains Resources Ltd. (ASX:WPG - News), by completing exploration expenditures totalling AUS$ 3 million over a 3 year period with a minimum work commitment of $600,000 in the first year. Calibre can earn an additional 20% interest in the project by completing a Feasibility Report.

Trundle contains widespread evidence of porphyry and skarn-style copper-gold mineralization associated with several discrete intrusive centers. Historical shallow rotary air blast (RAB) and air core drilling on four of these centres confirmed the presence of copper and gold mineralization coincident with skarn and porphyry-style alteration and airborne magnetic highs. GOS Drilling of Cobar, New South Wales, has been contracted to carry out a 3,700 metre diamond drilling program. The program focuses on the northern targets of Mordialloc, Bloomfield’s and Yarrabandai and is designed to test targets at depth (greater than 500m) for high grade porphyry Cu-Au mineralization. A map and cross section showing the proposed locations of the drill holes has been posted on the Calibre website and can be viewed at http://www.calibremining.com/i/pdf/2008-Drill-Holes-Trundle.pdf.

Calibre Mining Corp. is a TSX Venture Exchange listed company (TSX VENTURE:CXB - News) that is focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of gold and copper deposits from around the Pacific Rim. In addition to the exploration program at Trundle, Calibre is continuing to advance the Cargo project in New South Wales, Australia, the Trend Property in Nevada, United States, and the Pt.
