- Collective Mining Ltd. (Ticker: CNLMF) is a Canada-based mineral exploration company focused on the discovery and development of large-scale copper-gold projects in Colombia. The company explores for and delineates porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum-silver deposits, with its flagship Guayabales Project comprising multiple concessions covering over 70,000 hectares in the prolific Caledonia mining district of the Marmato Formation; key targets include the Apollo system, a bulk-tonnage porphyry deposit discovered in 2022, the Trap, Cruiser, and Caramanta systems, and other satellite deposits. Operations are centered in Colombia, where the company conducts drilling, geophysical surveys, metallurgical testing, and resource estimation to advance projects toward feasibility.
Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Collective Mining targets institutional investors and mining partners in the precious and base metals sectors, with no listed subsidiaries or parent relationships. The company's exploration portfolio emphasizes scalable, low-strip-ratio deposits amenable to open-pit mining in a tier-one jurisdiction supported by a skilled local workforce and improving regulatory environment.
In the past two years, Collective Mining has achieved significant milestones, including the initial resource estimate for the Apollo deposit in late 2023 outlining 1.9 million ounces of gold equivalent indicated resources; a C$55 million bought deal financing in early 2024 led by wheaton precious metals and RBC Capital Markets; strategic alliances such as a C$25 million investment from Zijin Mining Group in mid-2024 and a collaboration with SRK Consulting for preliminary economic assessments; and ongoing expansion drilling campaigns at Apollo and new discoveries like the Venus target in 2025. These developments position the company for potential production timelines by 2028 while enhancing shareholder value through de-risking and resource growth.
