Collective Mining reports 95% gold recovery at Apollo project in Colombia

Preliminary work on Apollo’s deeper Ramp Zone recovered up to 96% gold using conventional methods; full results are targeted for H1 2027.

The maiden mineral resource estimate for Apollo is now targeted for September 2026 as licensing work is accelerated.

Collective Mining reported metallurgical testwork at its Apollo system in Colombia, showing conventional processing recoveries of 95% gold, 92% silver and 85% copper.

Testing on tungsten-bearing scheelite returned recoveries up to 74%, producing concentrates above 60% tungsten; bulk tests reached 95% scheelite purity.

Some tests showed more than 50% of gold could be recovered via gravity concentration, supporting potential flowsheet optimization.
