Collective Mining Drills Broad Zones of Mineralization at Olympus, Assay Results Expected Shortly

Collective Mining Drills Broad Zones of Mineralization at Olympus, Assay Results Expected Shortly

Collective Mining Ltd. (TSXV: CNL) ("Collective" or the "Company") is pleased to announce completion of the first three holes at the Olympus Central target within the Guayabales project ("Guayabales"), Colombia with three additional holes nearing completion. The Olympus target consists of three zones named Olympus Central, Olympus South and Olympus North and cumulatively measures approximately 1.25 km x 0.75 km. The Company currently has three diamond drill rigs operating at Olympus as part of its minimum 20,000 metre program for 2022 with a fourth rig expected to commence drilling at the Guayabales project prior to the end of March.

"This initial drilling program at Olympus represents the first holes ever drilled into the Olympus Central target and we are excited about the multiple styles of mineralization over potentially broad intercept lengths. Visually, the intersection of multiple CBM bearing vein zones in the Olympus Central target share numerous characteristics with the multi-million ounce gold and silver Marmato deposit. We will remain aggressive with drilling for the balance of 2022 and are excited for initial assay results in the short term," commented Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman.

Highlights (Figures 1 - 4)

Three diamond drill holes, totalling 1,423 metres, have been completed at the Olympus Central target with assay results anticipated in the coming days. Geological logging of the drill holes highlights the following important characteristics:

  • Two distinct zones of mineralization have been identified to date resembling historical underground adit sampling which primarily are rich in gold and silver.

    • The first zone, which consists of a matrix that includes sericite-pyrite alteration associated with a stockwork of carbonate base metal ("CBM") veins has been intersected in holes OLCC1 and OLCC3. This zone was intersected up to 360 metres in downhole length in OLCC3.

    • The second zone, consisting of country rocks (schists and metasediments) impregnated by multiple zones of sheeted CBM veins, was intersected further downhole in OLCC3 from 485 metres in depth and is up to 150 metres in length . The hole was terminated at a 633 metres depth with a CBM veinlet observed at the end of the hole.

  • Mineralization in drilling to date has been intersected over a vertical depth of approximately 400 metres.

  • IP chargeability anomalies are coincident with the sulphide mineralization in the Olympus Central target.

    • OLCC1 was drilled at the southern periphery of the Olympus Cental chargeability anomaly and intersected the most abundance of sulphides while within the chargeability anomaly.

    • OLCC2 almost immediately drilled out of the Olympus Central chargeability anomaly and only intercepted sporadic sulphide mineralization.

    • OLCC3 was drilled into the centre of the Olympus Central chargeability anomaly to a total depth of 633 metres and intercepted the strongest visual mineralization to date.

  • Stepout drilling continues with holes OLCC4, OLCC5 and OLCC6. All holes are advancing well and are intersecting sulphide mineralization including CBM veins.

Top 10 Gold Reserves by Country

Gold is one of the most important metals on the planet. For millennia it has been used in jewelry, art and currency, capturing the collective imagination as a thing of wonder. Gold's association with royalty and wealth has inspired explorers and treasure hunters alike, who put themselves at risk for a chance to strike it rich.

Today, gold's hold on us as a precious metal is no less powerful. Still used for jewelry and as a store of wealth, the metal also has a variety of modern industrial and electronic applications.

Even though gold seems to be everywhere, in reality it's a finite resource. Only 244,000 metric tons of gold have ever been mined, and two-thirds of that has been extracted since 1950. Comparing that amount to the more than 700 million metric tons of copper that have been pulled from the ground provides an idea of how precious a resource gold truly is.
