Collective Mining (CNL) to enter GDXJ index and move executive HQ to Miami

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Collective Mining Ltd. filed a report highlighting two strategic developments. The company will be added to the Junior Gold Miners Index (GDXJ) effective at market close on March 20, 2026, which can increase visibility with institutional and index-tracking investors. Collective has also relocated its executive headquarters from Toronto to Miami, while remaining incorporated in Canada and keeping its NYSE American and TSX listings under the symbol CNL.

The move to Miami is intended to leverage the city’s growing role as a global financial center and its strong connectivity to Colombia, where Collective’s Guayabales and San Antonio projects are located. Management, insiders, a strategic investor and close contacts own 45.3% of outstanding shares, aligning leadership with other shareholders as the company advances its 2026 exploration program and de-risking of the Guayabales Project.

Insights

Mining equity strategist

Index inclusion and U.S. HQ shift aim to deepen capital access.

Collective Mining joining the GDXJ index after March 20, 2026 means its shares may be held by more passive and rules-based funds that track this benchmark. That can gradually improve trading liquidity and broaden the investor base, depending on fund rebalancing.

The relocation of executive headquarters to Miami places management closer to Colombian operations and a major North American capital hub. The company links this to its 2026 exploration and de-risking work at the Guayabales Project, but actual benefits will depend on execution and exploration results disclosed in future updates.

Collective Mining Announces Inclusion in the GDXJ Index and Relocation of Headquarters to the U.S.; Bolstering Connectivity to Operations in Colombia

MIAMI, March 16, 2026 /CNW/ - Collective Mining Ltd. (NYSE: CNL) (TSX: CNL) ("Collective" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company will be added to the Junior Gold Miners Index (the "GDXJ") effective at market close on March 20, 2026, pursuant to the index's most recent review and rebalance. Collective is also pleased to announce that it has relocated its executive headquarters from Toronto, Ontario, to Miami, Florida. The Company's jurisdiction of incorporation will remain in Canada, and its dual listings on the NYSE American and the Toronto Stock Exchange remain unchanged.

Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman, commented: "Inclusion in the GDXJ marks an important milestone for the Company, as it reflects our continued progress in developing a world-class mineral district in Colombia, and reinforces the compelling investment case for Collective. The relocation of the Company's executive headquarters to Miami is another important step in our evolution. Miami has rapidly emerged as a leading global financial center, with a strong institutional capital markets presence and strategic connectivity to Colombia and Latin America. We believe this move will support our long-term growth strategy by increasing investor visibility, broadening our shareholder base and unlocking additional stock market index eligibility."

Miami's geographical location and connectivity to Colombia were central to this decision. Several daily direct flights place management in closer proximity to the Company's operations. This move is expected to support more efficient coordination with Collective's internal teams, suppliers, contractors and consultants at a pivotal time, as we continue to execute on our 2026 exploration program and further advance the de-risking and development of our flagship Guayabales Project.

The United States represents the deepest and most liquid market for resource equities, and the Company notes that an executive office in the United States may enhance Collective Mining's future eligibility for inclusion in certain U.S. equity indices, which are tracked by significant passive and rules-based investment strategies.

About Collective Mining Ltd.

To see our latest corporate presentation and related information, please visit www.collectivemining.com.

Founded by the team that developed and sold Continental Gold Inc. to Zijin Mining for approximately $2 billion in enterprise value, Collective is a gold, silver, copper and tungsten exploration company with projects in Caldas, Colombia. The Company's two projects are located directly within an established mining camp with ten fully permitted and operating mines.

The Company's flagship project, Guayabales, is anchored by the Apollo system, which hosts the large-scale, bulk-tonnage and high-grade gold-silver-copper-tungsten Apollo system. The Company's objectives at the Guayabales Project are to expand the newly discovered high-grade Ramp Zone along strike and to depth, drill test the new Hanging Wall Vein Zone and drill a series of greenfield generated targets on the property. 

Additionally, the Company is drilling its optioned San Antonio Project (can earn up to 100% interest) as it hunts for new discoveries and looks to aggressively extend to the south the recently discovered high-grade silver system made at the Pound target. The San Antonio Project is located between two to five kilometers east-northeast of the Guayabales Project and could potentially share infrastructure given their proximity to each other.

Management, insiders, a strategic investor and close family and friends own 45.3% of the outstanding shares of the Company and as a result, are fully aligned with shareholders. The Company is listed on both the NYSE American and TSX under the trading symbol "CNL".
