Collective Mining drills broadest high-grade intercept to date at Apollo’s Ramp Zone
CNL•Collective Mining reported 154.30 meters grading 12.66 grams per metric ton gold equivalent at Colombia’s Apollo Ramp Zone, including 30.45 meters at 39.01 grams per metric ton. The company said construction of a roughly 3-kilometer exploration adit is expected to begin in November 2026.
1. Drilling results
Hole APC174-D4 returned 154.30 meters grading 12.66 grams per metric ton gold equivalent, including 30.45 meters at 39.01 grams per metric ton. Collective Mining said local grades exceeded resource estimates by more than 75%, and high-grade mineralization extended shallower and deeper than predicted.
2. Next exploration steps
Drilling ended in mineralization outside the resource when the rig reached its capacity. Higher-capacity rigs will test a potential new mineralized chute, while construction of a roughly 3-kilometer exploration adit is expected to begin in November 2026, enabling shorter underground drilling holes.
