Collective Mining Ltd. (NYSE: CNL, TSX: CNL) (“Collective” or the “Company”) - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/collective-mining/ - is pleased to announce that it has discovered an extension to the Apollo system (“Apollo”) on the northeastern flank at depth and as a result opens the possibility for major expansion growth along the northern side of the system. The Apollo system is the flagship discovery within the Company’s multi-target Guayabales Project in Caldas, Colombia. The Company currently has five drill rigs operating as part of its fully funded and on-schedule 40,000-meter drilling program for 2024. A fully funded 60,000-meter drill program is planned for 2025, which will be the largest drilling campaign in the history of the Company.
Approximately 101,000 metres of diamond drilling has been completed to date at the Guayabales Project, including 67,000 metres at Apollo. There are currently 25 drill holes awaiting assaying with results for the majority of these holes expected prior to year-end 2024.
Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman commented: “Apollo continues to expand and deliver excellent results. Drill hole APC100-D1 confirms that the small surface outcrops and shallowly drilled fingers of poorly mineralized breccia at surface can transition into broad and high-grade mineralized zones at depth. Looking forward, our initial follow up hole to the Ramp Zone discovery (APC103-D1 from Pad 16) has recently entered the projection of the zone to the east of discovery hole APC99-D5 (57 metres @ 8.18 g/t AuEq; see press release dated October 22, 2024). Also, drilling from Pad 17 (APC104-D1 and APC104-D2) to orthogonally test for potential high-grade subzones within Apollo has cut wide zones of strong visible sulphide mineralization. Assay results for these holes are expected over the next two to six weeks.”
