Colibri Engages TerraEye to Advance Targeting at EP Gold Project
Colibri Engages TerraEye to Advance
Targeting at EP Gold Project
Dieppe, New Brunswick--(Newsfile Corp. - September 24, 2025) - Colibri Resource Corporation (TSXV:
CBI) ("Colibri" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with
TerraEye
, a provider of satellite remote sensing and AI-driven exploration solutions, to deliver an
advanced targeting program at Colibri's EP Gold Project in Sonora, Mexico.
Accelerating Discovery with Satellite + AI
TerraEye will deploy a multi-sensor workflow—combining multispectral and hyperspectral satellite
imagery, explainable AI anomaly detection, and artisanal-mining activity detection—to identify and
prioritize high-potential gold targets across the EP Project. TerraEye's datasets will be integrated with
Colibri's magnetic, gravity, and geochemical databases to generate refined exploration models and
actionable targets.
The approach is designed to detect subtle geological and geochemical indicators of mineralization—
even where vegetation obscures the surface—by:
Building
Bare Earth Composites (BEC)
to minimize vegetation, sand, and clouds to expose
soil/rock windows for analysis.
Running mineral mapping (e.g.,
Spectral Angle Mapper
,
Mixture-Tuned Matched Filtering
)
and geological indices to highlight alteration, clays, Fe-oxides and other pathfinders.
Interpreting
structures and lineaments
from terrain models to locate potential fluid pathways.
Applying
AI clustering
and explainable spectral targeting to converge multiple lines of evidence
into ranked target zones.
What TerraEye Will Deliver at EP
The program will deliver decision-grade exploration intelligence, including:
Prioritized Target Portfolio
- A ranked list of targets with clear rationales
(spectral/structural/geochemical evidence), sized polygons and coordinates for efficient field
follow-up.
Professional Analytical Report
- An executive summary for decision-makers and detailed
technical sections for geologists, with maps and figures supporting each target.
GIS-Ready Data Package
- GeoTIFF rasters (mineral-match scores, indices, composites),
lineament/structure vectors, and target shapefiles/GeoJSON with attributes.
TerraEye Platform Access
- A secure, private workspace to review layers interactively, toggle
evidence, and collaborate on next steps.
Strategic Importance for EP
By fusing TerraEye's satellite-derived anomaly maps with Colibri's datasets, the program is expected to
sharpen geological models, focus ground work and drill planning, and reduce discovery risk. In the
Caborca Gold Belt context, the ability to detect structure-guided alteration and stress in vegetation
provides additional evidence to prioritize targets.
CEO Comment
"
Our agreement with TerraEye for the EP Gold Project places Colibri among a growing group of
explorers adopting next-generation remote sensing and AI tools
," said Ian McGavney, CEO of Colibri.
"
By combining TerraEye's satellite analytics with our extensive exploration database, we expect to
sharpen our geological modelling, refine drill targets, and accelerate the path toward discovery
.
The EP Gold Project represents a
large and underexplored land package
, and we believe this
program will not only
confirm and strengthen the targets we already know
, but also highlight
new
areas with potential mineralization and even previously unrecognized historical workings
. To
date, Colibri has already identified
10 high-priority targets, of which only three have been drill-
tested
, and we are optimistic that TerraEye's work could expand this pipeline even further. This
additional actionable data will both validate our geological models and open up new opportunities for
exploration across the project
."
TerraEye Comment
"
Exploration teams don't need more layers—they need ranked, defensible targets they can act on
,"
said Marek Wilgucki, CEO of TerraEye. "
At EP we're fusing Colibri's magnetics, gravity and
geochemistry with explainable satellite analytics so every target comes with a clear rationale and
coordinates. Our goal is simple: shorten the loop from desktop insights to boots-on-the-ground
validation and 2025 drill decisions
."
Recent Examples of the Approach
TerraEye's methodology has been applied with other explorers to rapidly shortlist field-ready targets and
integrate with ground programs, including:
Kuya Silver - Bethania (Peru):
Regional (≈1,850 km²) reconnaissance produced explainable
spectral targets aligned with epithermal indicators; GIS layers delivered for QGIS integration.

Kuniko - Norway (EUSPA Demonstrator):
Bare Earth Composites and mineral mapping
enabled a desk-to-outcrop cycle in a few months, with early field validation of spectral targets.

About the EP Gold Project
The
EP Gold Project
, located near Caborca in Sonora, Mexico, lies within the productive
Caborca
Gold Belt
, host to some of Mexico's largest gold deposits including Fresnillo's La Herradura and Noche
Buena mines. Colibri controls 100% of the EP Project, which spans 4,766 hectares and is road
accessible via Federal Highway #2 and ranch roads.
To date, more than
13,800 metres of drilling
have been completed across Evelyn and Plomo, outlining
multiple zones of shallow gold mineralization that remain open along strike and at depth. Highlight
intercepts include
8 m @ 4.82 g/t Au²
,
15 m @ 2.36 g/t Au²
,
29 m @ 0.47 g/t Au²
, and broader
intervals such as
66 m @ 0.27 g/t Au⁴
and
27 m @ 0.23 g/t Au⁴
(Hole EVE23-198), starting near
surface and ending in mineralization.
Chip/channels have returned
high grades
from several targets, including:
Banco de Oro
: up to
298 g/t Au over 2.4 m underground³
, with additional values of
12.3 g/t
Au³
and
11 g/t Au³
.
San Perfecto
: up to
58.9 g/t Au⁵
and
47.3 g/t Au⁵
, with additional strong values of
32.1 g/t Au¹
,
16.65 g/t Au¹
, and
15.6 g/t Au¹
.
Only
3 of 10 high-priority targets
have been drill-tested, leaving significant exploration upside. The
project is fully permitted for drilling, with a new program planned for 2025.
