Silver Spruce Resources Inc. Provides an Update On Jackie and Diamante Projects
Colibri Resource Corp.

Executive Summary
- The most recent release dated May 5, 2026, details a transaction between Silver Spruce Resources Inc. and Colibri Resource Corporation regarding the Jackie and Diamante projects in Sonora, Mexico.
- Colibri is acquiring Silver Spruce's 50% interest in the Jackie Au-Ag property, bringing its total ownership to 100%. (Note: This contradicts May 2025 news where Colibri sold Jackie; this appears to be a finalization or reversal of terms).
- Simultaneously, Colibri will relinquish its 25% interest in the Diamante Project.
- Consideration for these transactions involves the issuance of C$25,000 in common shares and forgiveness of approximately C$80,000 in outstanding exploration expenditures incurred by Silver Spruce on behalf of Colibri.
- Both transactions are subject to final approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.
- Director Kevin O'Connor abstained from voting due to dual directorship with Silver Spruce.
Material Impact
- The May 5, 2026 news represents a minor asset realignment rather than a transformative event for Colibri's core value proposition.
- The financial consideration ($25k shares + $80k debt forgiveness) is immaterial relative to the company's market capitalization (approx. $4M-$7M).
- Relinquishing 25% of the Diamante Project reduces the company's land package and potential upside, which is a negative signal for long-term growth prospects despite the debt relief.
- The acquisition of Jackie interest appears inconsistent with May 2025 announcements where Colibri sold this asset to Silver Spruce; if this confirms a reversal or finalization, it suggests ongoing negotiation complexity rather than strategic clarity.
- Given the stock price has already declined significantly from January highs ($0.31) to current lows ($0.11), this news does not provide a new catalyst to reverse the trend but reinforces the lack of major near-term value creation events.
