VANCOUVER, Feb. 25, 2015 /CNW/ - Colibri Resource Corporation ("Colibri" or the "Company") (TSX-V: CBI) today announced that, at its Annual and Special Meeting of shareholders to be held on Friday, March 20, 2015 (the "Meeting"), the Company will be seeking shareholder approval for a resolution authorizing the consolidation of its Common Shares on a basis of one (1) post-consolidation Common Share for up to 15 pre-consolidation Common Shares (the "Consolidation").

Completion of the Consolidation is subject to the approval of the Company's shareholders by special resolution at the Meeting as well as approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

It is expected that upon completion of the Consolidation an aggregate of approximately 3,349,067 Common Shares will be issued and outstanding.
