Collective Mining Channel Samples 45.52 g/t gold and 27 g/t silver along 37.5 metres in Underground Development at the Guayabales Project, Colombia

 

Collective Mining Ltd. (TSXV: CNL) ("Collective" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an exploration update on its Guayabales Project located in Caldas, Colombia. The project is situated contiguous, immediately along strike and to the northwest of Aris Gold's Marmato gold mine, which contains proven and probable reserves of 2.0 million ounces gold and 4.35 million ounces silver (19.7 Mt grading 3.2 gt gold and 6.9 gt silver). The Company interprets the abundant precious metal mineralization encountered throughout the Guayabales Project to be related to a series of copper-gold porphyry intrusions hosted within the project tenements which could be partially responsible for the mineral endowment of the Marmato gold mine.

 

  Highlights (Table 1 and Figures 1-3)  

 

The Company´s initial channel sampling campaign at the Donut target ("Donut") within the Guayabales Project has returned high-grade gold and silver assay results from a shallow underground tunnel. Mapping of this tunnel has exposed a gold-copper porphyry stockwork of veinlets with overprinting polymetallic vein systems. Additionally, the mineralized zone outlined by channel sampling results announced herein displays excellent grade continuity with results as follows:

*The Company's channel sampling program consists of continuous two metre samples taken along the exposed walls of the underground historical mine workings

 

Further channel sampling is in progress to cover all areas of the underground workings and the target remains open to the north, north-west, east and at depth. The Company is planning to drill test the Donut target beginning in late August 2021.

 

"We are off to a very exciting start at the Guayabales project. The robust and continuous high-grade channel sampling results validate our geological model for the property. We look forward to initiating a first-ever drill program at the Donut target," commented Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman.

 

  Geological Description of the Donut Target  

 

The Donut target is located in the south-east portion of a major north-west trending structural corridor hosting a cluster of mineralized outcropping copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry intrusions. Shallow underground workings have exposed large zones of porphyry veining hosting various copper sulfides including chalcopyrite, chalcocite and lesser bornite associated with occasional molybdenite and abundant pyrite. This zone extends for over one kilometre to the Olympus target where gold-silver (base-metal) vein systems are extensive.

 

Donut displays a graduation from sericite-chlorite to an inner zone of intense potassic alteration (secondary biotite and lesser magnetite) with abundant porphyry style B-veins noted. This porphyry body is enveloped by a large scale (+1.5 km) and continuous anomalous zone of in-situ and coincidental gold, copper and molybdenum soil anomalism. The veinlet and stockwork system overprint displays a distinct Au-Ag (base metal) association. Historical artisanal mining has targeted both porphyry and vein/stockwork systems.

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.
