Shares in Nicaragua focused gold explorer Calibre Mining (CXB.V) are up nearly 6 fold in the past year.

The company proved their share price climb was no fluke when Pierre Lassone, co-founder of gold royalty behemouth Franco Nevada, acquired an 11.2% stake in Calibre in Q4 2014 for $2 million at $0.08 per share with a half warrant at $0.15 for 24 months. The stock has since more than doubled to $0.18 per share at press time.

Last month, Lassonde visited Calibre's projects in Nicaragua with Calibre's President & CEO Greg Smith, Executive Chairman Doug Forster and Director Blayne Johnson.

The group shared a fun short video of the trip on Youtube earlier, which I can appreciate for its low frills, leverage your prominent shareholders as best you can corporate promotion.
