08:05 AM EDT, 09/03/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Collective Mining (CNL.TO) plans to drill two new targets near the Apollo system within the Guayabales project in Colombia following exploration fieldwork and a systematic review of satellite targets.

After that, Collective plans to drill the Victory target in the fourth quarter after completing a reinterpretation of previous exploration data. "With 13 drill rigs now on site, a strong treasury and a favorable commodity price backdrop, the time is right to push hard in exploration by continuing to grow our flagship Apollo system," Executive Chairman Ari Sussman said.
