Libero Copper & Gold Corporation announced the sale of its option agreement on the Big Bulk exploration project in British Columbia, Canada to Dolly Varden Silver Corporation. Libero Copper has strategically decided to concentrate its focus and allocate resources solely to the significantly more advanced Mocoa Porphyry Copper-Molybdenum Deposit in Colombia, which is both district-scale and 100% owned by the company. Libero Copper's initial drill hole in Mocoa intercepted 1,229 metres of 0.58% copper equivalent.

Over the past three years relationships have been built with all stakeholders at Mocoa resulting in support agreements with the local communities. Given the results of the recent municipal and regional elections, drilling is expected to recommence at Mocoa in the coming months.
