Collective Mining Outlines Multiple, High-Grade Vein Systems at Olympus with Assay Results from Channel Sampling of up to 221 g/t Gold and 812 g/t Silver

Collective Mining Ltd. (TSXV: CNL) ("Collective" or the "Company") is pleased to announce high-grade gold and silver channel sample assay results from its grassroot generated Olympus target ("Olympus") within the Guayabales project ("Guayabales"), Colombia. The Company presently has three diamond drill rigs operating at Guayabales with drills turning at the Olympus and Apollo targets as well as the newly discovered Trap target. At Olympus, the Company is focused on expanding upon the recently announced discovery holes of 302 metres @ 1.11 gt gold equivalent and 216.7 metres @ 1.08 gt gold equivalent (refer to press release dated March 15 and May 9, 2022, respectively).

Highlights (Table 1 and Figures 1 and 2)

  • Assay results of chip channel samples taken from veins located within historical, shallow underground workings from Olympus confirm the continuation of the high-grade carbonate base metal ("CBM") sheeted vein system into the southwest portion of the target area with results as follows:

* C hannel chip samples reported above are over true horizontal sampling widths of between 0.1 and 1 m etre . Sample grades are uncapped
* * Channel samples are representative of 2 - dimensional space and as a result should not be relied upon as being representative of average gra des anticipated in any future resource estimate or mining scenario .
** *Assay results for b ase metal s are still pending for all samples listed .

  • Multiple CBM veins were sampled , where possible at Olympus, over an area measuring 250 metres x 250 metres from limited and partial exposures of rock in old tunnels. The CBM veins are sulphide rich and associated with intense sericite-illite alteration superimposed on porphyry diorite and mineralized, hydrothermal breccia. Porphyry-related CBM veins can demonstrate robust continuity over significant vertical and lateral dimensions.

  • Drilling, underground sampling and surface mapping to date ha ve expanded Olympus to a target area measuring more than 1,400 metres by 900 metres, which hosts over 50 artisanal mines with over 25 veins mapped from available exposures. The Company believes that the probability is high that additional veins will be discovered as exploration ramps up. The Olympus target is open to the east, west, northwest, south and at depth.

  • Olympus now includes two mineralized zones. Both zones contain multiple porphyry and overprinting CBM veins associated with intense pyrite-sericite-carbonate alteration and hosted in a porphyry diorite (Eastern zone) and within schist country rocks intruded by porphyritic diorite (Western zone).

  • The highest-grade samples collected to date at Olympus come from areas that have yet to be drill tested by the Company. Diamond drilling completed to date has only focused on a small northern portion of the Eastern and Western zones while recent surface and underground mapping has expanded the Western zone to the west and southwest.

  • The Company is planning to move two underground rigs in Q2 into the area covered by these high-grade channel sampling results.

"With the scale of veining and alteration at Olympus and mineralized systems that come to surface, the Company now believes that we have a discovered a vein and broad mineralized system," commented Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman. "The more exploration we undertake, the more high-grade veins we find. We will remain aggressive with drilling at Olympus and look forward to commencing the first underground drill-hole into the high-grade vein portion of the system in June 2022."

Top Stories This Week: Gold Futures Break US$2,800, 3 Experts Talk US Election Price Impact

The gold price was on the move once again this week, with December COMEX futures briefly passing US$2,800 per ounce on Wednesday (October 30), another new record for the yellow metal.

Gold had pulled back substantially by Friday (November 1), sitting at the US$2,735 level as of 12:00 p.m. PDT. The decline came despite a weak October US jobs report, which has boosted expectations for an interest rate cut next week.

With many undeniably influencing gold right now, arguably the most immediate is the US election.
