Collective Mining (TSX: CNL; NYSE American: CNL) Executive Chair Ari Sussman discusses continued expansion at the Apollo system within the Guayabales Project in Colombia as drilling confirms renewed growth at depth. Speaking with Kitco Mining’s Investment Trends, Sussman explains that the discovery of the deeper RAMP zone has reopened the system after Apollo appeared to be nearing its limits. “So we’re in growth mode and this thing’s getting bigger and better,” he said, pointing to higher-grade, bulk-style mineralization in the deepest drilling to date. Sussman outlines plans to drill up to 100,000 meters in 2026, with the goal of delivering a more advanced maiden mineral resource that includes a meaningful portion in indicated classification. He also highlights renewed exploration across the broader land package, including the Trap target and the San Antonio project, where a shallow vein system overlies a deeper porphyry target. Looking ahead, Sussman says the company plans to begin an exploration drift in the second half of 2026 to improve access, accelerate drilling, and support future technical studies.
