Collective Mining to Provide Relief Assistance Following Colombia Earthquake
MIAMI, Aug. 12, 2026 /CNW/ - Collective Mining Ltd. (NASDAQ: CNL) (TSX: CNL) ("Collective" or the "Company") provides an update on the Company's response following the earthquake that struck western Colombia on August 10, 2026, with its epicenter near San Jose del Palmar, in the department of Chocó, approximately 100 kilometers from the Company's Guayabales and San Antonio Projects. The Company is fortunate to report there were no injuries to its personnel and no damage to its assets.
The Company has been in direct contact with municipal authorities, local fire departments and business associations to assess needs and support the communities in which it operates. As part of these efforts, Collective will make humanitarian contributions and provide direct assistance through local organizations that have existing partnerships with Collective in the city of Manizales, which is located approximately 80 kilometers from its operations in Supia, Caldas.
Collective will work with the Mayor's Office of Manizales to provide assistance related to technical matters, and will make monetary and in-kind contributions to organizations supporting the recovery effort. These include the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia, to assist with matters related to local school infrastructure; the local Red Cross and ProCaldas (a private-sector alliance for regional development), to assist with matters related to health infrastructure; and ANDI (National Business Association of Colombia) to support reconstruction efforts planning in the most affected areas.
Dario Gomez, President of the Board of the Colombian Red Cross, Caldas Chapter, commented: "In moments like this, a coordinated response is essential to effectively reach affected communities. The support of organizations such as Collective Mining strengthens our ability to address immediate needs and support the recovery efforts underway in Manizales. We appreciate their commitment to working alongside local institutions and organizations as the situation continues to evolve."
Omar Ossma, President of Collective Mining, commented: "The safety and wellbeing of our people and communities is our first priority. I have been on the ground in Colombia working directly with our team and local stakeholders to lead our response and understand where assistance is most needed. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the earthquake. We are mobilizing support through organizations that are positioned to direct assistance where it can have the greatest impact. We will continue to support our employees, their families and the broader community as recovery efforts progress."
