Collective Mining Reviews 2021 Achievements and Announces Plans for 2022

Collective Mining Reviews 2021 Achievements and Announces Plans for 2022

Collective Mining Ltd. (TSXV: CNL) ("Collective" or the "Company") is pleased to review its accomplishments of 2021 and outline its business plan for 2022 for its Guayabales and San Antonio projects. The properties are located in Caldas Colombia and the Company has the right to earn 100% unencumbered interests in both projects.

2021 Highlights

Guayabales Project (Figure 1)

  • 4,838 metres of diamond drilling has been completed at the project as of December 22, 2021.

  • Due to the operating team's extensive Colombian experience, the Company was able to rapidly advance surface exploration at Guayabales, which in turn lead to the discovery of a 3.5 kilometre x 3 kilometre cluster encompassing six porphyry targets for diamond drilling.

  • Donut Target : The Company made a significant grassroots discovery with multiple broad drill intercepts in predominantly breccia beginning at surface. Highlights from holes completed to date are as follows:
Hole ID From (m) To (m) Interval (m) Au (g/t) Ag (g/t) AuEq* (g/t)
DOC-5 0.0 163 163 1.2 11 1.3
DOC-2 0.0 104.0 104 1.2 12 1.3

* AuEq (g/t) is calculated as follows: (Au (g/t) x 0.95) + (Ag g/t x 0.016 x 0.90) + (Cu (%) x 1.83 x 0.92) + (Mo (%) x 4.57 x 0.92), utilizing metal prices of Cu - US$4.00/lb, Mo - US$10.00/lb, Ag - $24/oz and Au - US$1,500/oz and recovery rates of 95% for Au, 90% for Ag, 92% for Cu and Mo. Recovery rate assumptions are speculative as no metallurgical work has been completed to date.
** A 0.1 g/t AuEq cut-off grade was employed with no more than 10% internal dilution. True widths are unknown, and grades are uncut.

Assays for several completed drill holes remain outstanding and will be announced once received in Q1, 2022.

  • Olympus Target: A high-grade porphyry related, carbonate base metal ("CBM") vein system, measuring 1,000 metres x 600 metres and open in all directions has been outlined through detailed surface sampling and geophysics. High-grade samples have been collected throughout the target area with highlights as follows:
Sample ID Au (g/t) Ag (g/t) Cu % Zn % Pb%
CM003546 485.3 325 - - -
CM003571 198.7 369 0.08 9.03 12.74
CM003574 72.4 271 - - -
CM003581 69.2 254 - - -
CM003544 58.2 99 - - -
CM003582 48.5 206 - - -
CM003570 34.8 745 2.66 0.18 0.45

*The reader should be cautioned that grab samples are selective in nature and as a result should not be relied upon as being representative of average grades anticipated in any future resource estimate or mining scenario.
** Only samples CM003570 and CM003571 reported above were analyzed for base metal grades.

A maiden diamond drilling program utilizing two rigs commenced at the Olympus target on December 1, 2021, and visual logging of the two completed holes to date highlights the discovery of multiple mineralized CBM veins hosted within intensely altered porphyry diorite and hydrothermal breccia units. Initial assay results are expected in January 2022.

  • Box Target: Three reconnaissance diamond drill holes were recently completed at the Box Target to test an altered and mineralized porphyry target with associated carbonate base metal veins. Visual inspection of the core for drill holes 1 and 3 indicates that multiple CBM veins and altered porphyry style mineralization were intercepted but appears to be distal to a potassic core of a porphyry system. Assay results are expected in mid to late Q1, 2022.

  • Victory Target: Extensive reconnaissance work is ongoing and has both significantly enhanced the 1000 metre x 600 metre porphyry target and has resulted in the discovery of a new carbonate base metal vein system directly flanking the eastern edge of the porphyry target. Multiple samples from both the porphyry and the Victory East vein target have been collected with results expected in Q1, 2022.

San Antonio Project (Figure 2)

  • 4,310 metres of diamond drilling was completed at the project in 2021 resulting in a significant bulk tonnage grassroots discovery at the Pound Target. Mineralization at Pound, which begins from surface, is related to hydrothermal breccia and highly altered quartz diorite intrusive which have been overprinted by late stage, polymetallic veins. Subsequent follow up exploration has expanded the strike length of the target to at least 1.3 kilometres with assay results as follows:
HoleID From (m) To (m) Intercept
Interval (m)**
Au (g/t) Ag (g/t) Zn (ppm) Pb (ppm) Cu % Mo % AuEq (g/t)*
SAC-6 0 750 750 0.32 6 454 303 0.02 0.001 0.41
SAC-8 0 710 710 0.40 6 352 130 0.04 0.001 0.53

* AuEq (g/t) = (Au (g/t) x 0.95) + (Ag g/t x 0.013 x 0.90) + (Cu (%) x 1.83 x 0.92) + (Mo (%) x 4.57 x 0.92), utilizing metal prices of Cu - US$4.00/lb, Mo - US$10.00/lb, Ag - $20/oz and Au - US$1,500/oz and recovery rates of 95% for Au, 90% for Ag, 92% for Cu and Mo.
** a 0.1 g/t AuEq cut-off grade was employed with no more than 10% internal dilution. True widths are unknown and grades are uncut.

Corporate and Sustainability

  • The Company successfully completed an RTO and was listed on the TSX Venture Exchange on May 28, 2021.

  • The Company raised C$28.5 million through a combination of a private placement financing and the exercise of warrants related to said financing.

  • As a result of successful exploration campaigns during the course of the year, the Company's share price gained approximately 200% from the date of listing on the TSX Venture Exchange.

  • The Company's multi-pronged and comprehensive ESG program for 2021 resulted in the recognition by local stakeholders as a transparent and trustworthy entity. Numerous programs were implemented throughout the year highlighted by the strategic alliance with the National Coffee Federation of Colombia and the Municipality of Supía to promote water utilities, infrastructure improvements, as well as to provide technical assistance for more than 400 coffee growing families representing 6,000 people from 35 different communities.

2022 Outlook

  • With a fully funded 20,000+ metre diamond drilling program, the Company will assertively test its suite of targets at both the Guayabales and San Antonio projects.

  • At the Guayabales project, drilling will be focused on the Olympus and Victory targets with additional metres planned for the Donut and Box targets. Depending on exploration results in H1 2022, the Company may elect to drill test the earlier stage Apollo and ME targets as well.

  • At the San Antonio project, a deep penetrating ground IP survey will commence in January and once completed, the Company will launch a follow up drill program at the Pound target with the possibility of also testing the COP target for the first time.

Global Gold Mining Markets Are Likely to Reach $274 Billion By 2032 as Mining Operations Ramp Up

FN Media Group News Commentary - The increasing demand for gold across various sectors, including jewelry, technology, and investment, significantly drives the gold mining market. In the jewelry industry, gold's aesthetic appeal and cultural significance, particularly in countries such as India and China, fuel its demand. Additionally, gold's excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion make it indispensable in the electronics industry for manufacturing components such as connectors and circuit boards. Furthermore, economic uncertainties often boost gold's status as a haven asset, prompting investors to increase their holdings in gold, thereby driving up its demand and, consequently, mining activities. A report from DataIntello said the global gold mining market size was USD 208.9 Billion in 2023 and is likely to reach USD 274.2 Billion by 2032, expanding at a CAGR of 3.50% during 2024–2032. The market growth is attributed to the impact of automation and robotics in mining operations. The report said: "Automation and robotics have transformed mining operations, making them safer, more efficient, and less labor-intensive. In gold mining, automated drilling systems operate continuously, reducing the need for human intervention and enhancing productivity. Robotic equipment is being used for tasks that are dangerous for humans, such as deep underground operations or in environments that are hazardous due to unstable mine structures or the presence of toxic gases. These technologies improve safety and decrease variability in performance, leading to predictable and optimized outcomes. Furthermore, automation enables real-time data collection and monitoring of mining activities, which assists in precise resource management and operational planning." Active mining companies in the markets this week include: South Pacific Metals Corp. (OTCQB: SPMEF) (TSX-V: SPMC), K92 Mining Inc. (OTCQX: KNTNF) (TSX: KNT), Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM) (TSX: NGT), Founders Metals Inc. (OTCQX: FDMIF) (TSX-V: FDR), SNOWLINE GOLD CORP (OTCQB: SNWGF) (TSX-V: SGD).
