Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman of Collective Mining will be presenting on the Apollo discovery at the Guayabales project in Colombia and will be focusing on the most recent drill results and outlining plans for the balance of 2023. The Apollo system is an outcropping, high-grade and bulk tonnage copper-silver-gold porphyry system. On April 25, 2023, the Company announced the discovery of a new subzone of high-grade mineralization beginning at surface with assay results yielding 104.8 metres @ 5.56 g/t gold equivalent including a 44.6 zone of oxide mineralization averaging 6.99 g/t gold equivalent. (see press release dated April 25, 2023 for AuEq calculation)

The Company’s Guayabales project is located in the mining-friendly department of Caldas, Colombia, in the heart of a long-established mining camp with ten fully permitted and operating mines located within three kilometres of the project. As a result, the Guayabales project is blessed with excellent infrastructure with roads and hydroelectric powerlines traversing the project and an abundant labour force located nearby in the townships of Supia and Marmato.

Three rigs continue to drill at Apollo with a fourth one expecting to be added by the end of Q2, 2023. Additional assay results are anticipated in the near term.
