About Collective Mining Ltd.

Founded by talented individuals who previously developed and sold Continental Gold Inc. for approximately $2 billion to Zijin Mining, Collective Mining has carved a niche for itself as an emerging resource exploration company. The firm chiefly focuses on gold, silver, copper, and tungsten, with project sites situated in Caldas, Colombia. Notably, Collective Mining controls options to acquire 100% ownership stakes in two projects conveniently sited within a renowned mining area surrounded by ten fully operational mines.

The company's flagship initiative is the Guayabales project, prominently highlighted by the Apollo system, known for its bulk-tonnage and high-grade resource. Collective Mining is diligently working to elevate the overall quality of this asset through systematic drilling of newly identified prospective high-grade zones. Additionally, there is a concerted effort to expand the Apollo system's footprint by extending exploration to the north and deepening connections with nearby high-grade Ramp Zones.
