Collective Mining Intercepts a Broad Zone of Mineralization in its Second Diamond Drill Hole at the Apollo Target with a Second Rig Being Mobilized
2022年4月27日 - 8:00PM
Collective Mining Ltd. (TSXV: CNL) (“Collective”
or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the second drill hole
to test the Apollo target (“Apollo”) is advancing as part of the
Company’s fully funded minimum 20,000 metre drill program for 2022
at the Guayabales project (“Guayabales”), located in Caldas,
Colombia. The Company presently has three diamond drill rigs at
Guayabales with drills currently operating at Apollo and the
Olympus area where the Company is focused on expanding upon the
recently announced Olympus Central discovery hole of 302
metres @ 1.11 g/t gold equivalent (refer to press release dated
March 15, 2022) to the south and west. Apollo is located
approximately 600 metres to the southeast of Olympus Central.
Surface mapping and soil and rock chip sampling
at Apollo have outlined a porphyry target in the south with a
porphyry-related hydrothermal breccia target flanking its northern
side. Both the porphyry and breccia targets are characterized by
coincidental high-grade copper and molybdenum soil
anomalies measuring greater than 500 parts per million (“ppm”) and
30 ppm, respectively. Apollo covers an area
measuring 750 metres X 580 metres and remains open to the east,
west and south for further expansion.
Highlights (See Figures 1 –
3)
- A maiden diamond
drill program at Apollo began in April 2022 with the initial hole
(“APC-1”) now complete to a final length of 438.7 metres. Beginning
at 280 metres down hole, APC-1 intercepted favorable
porphyry related hydrothermal breccia mineralization over a core
length totalling between 85-90 metres. Core from this hole
has been sent to the lab and assay results are expected
shortly.
- Given the
significant distance from the drill pad and to expedite drilling at
Apollo, the Company is currently drilling at wedge hole (“APC-1W”),
which was kicked-off from APC-1 at 213 metres down-hole. Drilled at
a slightly steeper angle and to the east, APC-1W is
currently at 85 metres and is still drilling within favorable
visual breccia mineralization. Drilling of the hole will
continue until the hole exits from the breccia mineralization.
- The breccia
matrix consists of approximately 4-5% pyrite and 1-1.5%
chalcopyrite with overprinting carbonate base metal (“CBM”) veins
in places (see press release dated April 12, 2022, for further
details).
- Considering the
encouraging visual mineralization over broad widths intersected in
both drill holes, the Company has initiated construction of
two additional drill pads at Apollo (“Pad 2” and “Pad 3”),
which will provide the Company with significantly better locations
to test the full extent of the potential at Apollo. The rig that is
currently drilling APC-1W will be moved to Pad 2 shortly and a
second diamond drill rig will mobilize to Pad 3 shortly
thereafter.
-
Importantly, the mineralized breccia
intercepts in APC-1 and APC-1W does not correspond with the
coincidental high-grade copper and molybdenum soil anomalies
covering both breccia and porphyry targets at Apollo.
As a result, drill holes from Pad 2 and Pad 3 will also be
designed to test both anomalies.
- The reader
should be cautioned that only assay results from a certified
third-party laboratory can confirm whether any amounts of precious
or base metals are present in the breccia matrix currently being
intersected in the drill hole. As such, visual core inspection
presented herein should be viewed as speculative in nature.
“The Guayabales project continues to demonstrate
that it has been blessed with a remarkable mineral endowment. We
are early in the first inning of unlocking the potential of this
asset and already we have drilled three potentially significant
discoveries characterized by broad zones of mineralization. Assay
results are expected from both Olympus and Apollo in the near term
and our fully funded drill program will continue unabated through
the balance of 2022,” commented Ari Sussman, Executive
Chairman.

About Collective Mining Ltd.
To view our latest corporate presentation,
please visit www.collectivemining.com
Collective Mining is an exploration and
development company focused on identifying and exploring
prospective mineral projects in South America. Founded by the team
that developed and sold Continental Gold Inc. to Zijin Mining for
approximately $2 billion in enterprise value, the mission of the
Company is to repeat its past success in Colombia by making a
significant new mineral discovery and advancing the projection to
production. Management, insiders and close family and friends own
approximately 40% of the outstanding shares of the Company and as a
result are fully aligned with shareholders. Collective currently
holds an option to earn up to a 100% interest in two projects
located in Colombia. As a result of an aggressive exploration
program on both the Guayabales and San Antonio projects a total of
twelve major targets have been defined. The Company is fortuitous
to have made significant grass root discoveries on both projects
with near surface discovery holes at the Guayabales project
yielding 302 metres 1.11 g/t AuEq at the Olympus target and 163
metres @ 1.3 g/t AuEq at the Donut target. At the San Antonio
project, the Company intersected from surface 710 metres @ 0.53
AuEq. (See press releases dated October 27th, 2021, November 15,
2021 and March 15, 2022 for AuEq calculations.)
