- Two multi-stage regulatory processes were completed during Q2-2026, resulting in the granting of mining titles in the Company's area of influence in the municipalities of Supia and Marmato
- The granting of new mining titles materially increases the Company's titled land position, supporting the continued advancement of the Guayabales Project and providing new drill-ready targets
These newly granted mining titles are in addition to the previously disclosed mining titles granted to Collective by the ANM on April 10, 2026, which followed a public hearing held on February 17, 2026 in the municipality of Marmato (see press release dated April 23, 2026).
Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman commented: "We are very pleased to see continued strong public support for Collective by local communities, as evidenced by the two successful and well-attended public hearings in Supia and Marmato. With the completion of the titling processes in both municipalities, we have meaningfully consolidated our mineral title holdings and further improved continuity across the Guayabales Project. An expanded contiguous series of titled concessions supports both the exploration and future development potential of Guayabales. Importantly, the expanded footprint also provides new and exciting drill-ready targets, and we look forward to commencing drilling on at least one of them this year."
The recently granted titles within and adjacent to the existing Guayabales Project Area are expected to enhance Collective's long-term exploration flexibility by securing additional prospective ground along regional structural trends interpreted to be important controls on mineralization at the Guayabales Project. The new titles also provide additional optionality for future infrastructure planning, access and district-scale target generation as the Company advances exploration and development activities.
To date, Collective has completed 184,000 meters of diamond drilling across the Guayabales and
