Two Additional Holes Completed At The Apollo Target
TORONTO - Collective Mining Ltd. reported on from two additional holes completed at the Apollo target at the Guayabales project located in Caldas, Colombia. Apollo is a newly discovered high-grade copper-gold-silver porphyry-related breccia and is one of eight porphyry-related targets situated within a three-by-four-kilometer cluster area generated by the Company through grassroots exploration at the project. As part of its fully funded 20,000+ meter drill program for 2022, there are currently three diamond drill rigs operating at the Apollo target with an additional rig drilling from underground at the Olympus target.
“These latest drill intercepts demonstrate the remarkably continuous nature of this mineralized breccia and overprinting CBM vein system which is now expanding with every drill hole that we complete. With multiple overprinting events depositing mineralization into the system, the Apollo main breccia has all the right markers to evolve into a large-scale discovery. We will remain aggressive with drilling for the balance of 2022,” said, Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman.
Five diamond drill holes with accompanying assay results have now been announced at Apollo and resulted in expansion of this main breccia and overprinting vein system with dimensions of up to 300 meters along strike by 100 meters across by 400 meters vertical. The target remains open in all directions and has the potential to evolve into a significant high-grade, bulk tonnage mineralized system.
Drill holes APC-3 and APC-5 were drilled in opposite directions from two separate drill pads (Pads 2 and 3) to the northeast and southwest respectively to test continuity of the mineralized breccia previously intersected in holes APC-1, APC-1W and APC-2 and to test the early working model of the geometry of the main breccia.
