Collective Mining (TSX: CNL; NYSE American: CNL) Executive Chair Ari Sussman says new drilling at the Ramp Zone within the Guayabales Project in Colombia continues to confirm high-grade continuity as the company advances toward a maiden mineral resource estimate targeted for the first half of 2027. On February 24, 2026, the company reported 54.55 metres grading 7.04 g/t gold and 16 g/t silver from hole APC150-D1, with assay results pending for another 370.25 metres. Sussman said it is “the first time we’ve drilled a ramp from the south in a northeastern direction,” a shift he believes is strengthening the geological model along the breccia margins. The company has confirmed 315 metres of high-grade mineralization along the outer southeast margin of the breccia body, with roughly 1,200 metres of additional circumference still to be tested. Sussman said Collective is “hoping to drill somewhere between five to 7 million ounces in our maiden resource” while advancing what he called its largest drill year ever at up to 100,000 metres in 2026. He also addressed tungsten recoveries, investor focus on Colombia’s presidential election expected to result in a new president by June 2026, and broader sector growth dynamics that could influence future M&A activity.
