Collective Mining Announces New High-Grade Silver-tungsten Discovery In Hole APC-186 Near Apollo Deposit In Colombia

Benzinga · 2d ago

New high-grade silver-tungsten discovery in hole APC-186 located 600 meters to the north of Apollo's tungsten-rich subdomain in the Mineral Resource returned: 
87.60m @ 158 g/t AgEq (0.21 g/t Au, 99 g/t Ag, 0.09% Cu, 0.05% WO3) from 17.70m including 5.50m @ 1,999 g/t AgEq (0.17 g/t Au, 1,283 g/t Ag, 0.57% Cu and 0.83% WO3)
Broad shallow mineralization across the Shallow Halo Zone ("SHZ") included:
149.55 meters at 50 g/t AgEq (0.28 g/t Au, 31 g/t Ag and 0.08% Cu) from surface in APC-193
121.40 meters at 44 g/t AgEq (0.18 g/t Au, 30 g/t Ag and 0.07% Cu) from 8.70 meters in APC-184
Resource growth potential within the pit shell: 22 of 23 SHZ holes reported since the Mineral Resource announcement on September 8, 2026, have returned mineralized intervals in areas previously deemed as waste above the open pit cut-off grade of 0.30 g/t AuEq
Only 29% of the SHZ tested: mineralization remains open in multiple directions, with three rigs dedicated to drill testing the remaining 71%. Potential exists to expand north beyond the current Mineral Resource pit shell.
Permitting on an accelerated track: construction of the exploration adit is set to begin in Q4 2026, with the environmental license application for Apollo targeted for the second half of 2027
Strong news flow ahead: assays are pending for 99 holes at the Guayabales Project, including 23 from the Ramp Zone; 13 rigs turning and the Company is fully funded for its planned 2026 drilling program with US$93.7 million in cash (as of June30, 2026).
