MIAMI, Nov. 10, 2026 /CNW/ -- Collective Mining Ltd. (NASDAQ: CNL) (TSX: CNL) ("Collective" or the "Company") announces assay results from four directional diamond drill holes targeting the Ramp Zone of the Apollo deposit, part of its fully funded 2026 drilling program at the Guayabales Project in Caldas, Colombia. All four holes intersected Ramp Zone mineralization below the base of the Mineral Resource, with the deepest, APC171-D3, intersecting the main Ramp Zone within the Mineral Resource and extending Ramp Zone mineralization to approximately 280 meters above sea level, approximately 370 vertical meters below the base of the Mineral Resource. Three step-out holes, APC164-D5, APC164-D6 and APC172-D1, intersected Ramp Zone mineralization to the north and northwest, approximately 100 to 190 meters beyond the outer boundary of the Mineral Resource. Together, these results expand the known extent of the Ramp Zone at depth and to the north, complementing previously reported extensions to the west and northwest. Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman, commented: "When we published our maiden Mineral Resource in September, the Ramp Zone stopped at 650 meters above sea level for one simple reason: that was as deep as our drilling had gone. The base of the Mineral Resource marked the limit of our drilling, not the limit of the Ramp Zone. Every one of these four holes found gold beneath and outside the Mineral Resource, with the deepest hole extending the Ramp Zone several hundred meters further down. At the same time, step-out holes north of the outer boundary of the Mineral Resource intersected broad mineralization in areas with no prior drilling. With our first track-mounted rig now on site and a plan to drill toward sea level in 2027, we believe the vertical dimension of the Ramp Zone will become one of the defining stories of Apollo." A video of Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman, explaining today's results is available here: https://youtu.be/OVzHryaIkGc To date, Collective has received assays for 209,500 meters of diamond drilling across the Guayabales and San Antonio projects, including results for 149,000 meters at the flagship Apollo deposit, which anchors the Guayabales Project. An additional 80 drill holes are awaiting assays, including 12 from the Ramp Zone. The Company is fully funded for its planned 2026 program, which envisions up to 90,000 meters of drilling. The Company presently has 13 diamond drill rigs operating across the Guayabales Project. Six of these rigs are dedicated to the Ramp Zone, testing it laterally around the breccia body and at depth. The first track-mounted rig for deep drilling is now operating on site, and a second is expected within the next 30 days. In 2027, the Company intends to drill the Ramp Zone down to sea level (a depth of approximately two kilometers from surface). An updated Mineral Resource incorporating approximately 100,000 meters of additional drilling is expected between Q4 2027 and Q1 2028, followed by a Preliminary Economic Assessment shortly thereafter. The Company is targeting the second half of 2027 to submit the environmental license application for the Apollo deposit to Colombia's National Environmental Licensing Authority (Autoridad Nacional de Licencias Ambientales, "ANLA"). Drill Results and Geological Context (See Table 1 and Figures 1-4) APC164-D5 and APC164-D6 were drilled from mother hole APC164-D on Pad 19, APC171-D3 was drilled from mother hole APC171-D on Pad 24, and APC172-D1 was drilled from mother hole APC172-D on Pad 37. All four holes were drilled toward the south-southwest to test extensions of the Ramp Zone beyond the Mineral Resource in the southeastern portion of the Apollo breccia body. For context, APC164-D5 lies approximately 180 meters north-northeast of previously reported hole APC174-D4, which intersected 154.30 m at 12.66 g/t AuEq (12.44 g/t Au, 11 g/t Ag) from 1,208 meters below surface (see press release dated November 3, 2026). The Ramp Zone is a high-grade gold zone within the breccia body, commencing at approximately 1,000 meters above sea level ("masl"). At the Ramp Zone, mineralization occurs with pyrite and pyrrhotite, accompanied by minor bismuth, tellurium and locally arsenopyrite-bearing sulphides, hosted in veinlet stockworks, cracks and miarolitic cavities of the breccia body. Alteration is dominated by albite, actinolite, muscovite and epidote. To date, the Mineral Resource for the Ramp Zone covers only the southeastern portion of the breccia's circumference, which is defined over approximately 315 meters of strike, 120 meters of width and 350 vertical meters, and hosts 0.20 million ounces AuEq Indicated (1.29 Mt at 4.74 g/t AuEq) and 1.04 million ounces AuEq Inferred (6.04 Mt at 5.37 g/t AuEq), reported underground below 1,000 masl at a 1.5 g/t AuEq cut-off (see press release dated September 8, 2026). The Ramp Zone's Mineral Resource extends down to 650 masl, the depth of the deepest drill hole included in the estimate. Ramp Zone – APC171-D3: Four Mineralized Zones APC171-D3, the deepest hole drilled by the Company to date, intersected four mineralized intervals: the upper intercept cut a shallow zone of carbonate base metal veins outside the Mineral Resource boundaries; a second intercepted a broad high-grade interval largely within the Mineral Resource boundaries; a third interval of mineralization immediately outside the Mineral Resource boundary; and a deeper interval of continuous mineralization extending down to approximately 280 meters above sea level, or 370 vertical meters below the base of the Mineral Resource. The hole ended at a downhole depth of 1,111.15 meters, corresponding to approximately 214 meters above sea level and 1,863 meters below surface. Assay results for this hole are as follows: APC171-D3 61.60 m @ 1.27 g/t AuEq (1.14 g/t Au, 7 g/t Ag) from 916 meters below surface, including 8.45 m @ 5.09 g/t AuEq (4.67 g/t Au, 18 g/t Ag, 0.07% Cu), which includes 1.45 m @ 22.46 g/t AuEq (21.30 g/t Au, 48 g/t Ag, 0.22% Cu) 44.55 m @ 5.75 g/t AuEq (5.58 g/t Au, 8 g/t Ag) from 1,274 meters below surface, including 21.40 m @ 11.06 g/t AuEq (10.78 g/t Au, 15 g/t Ag) from 1,275 meters below surface 16.15 m @ 2.76 g/t AuEq (2.68 g/t Au, 4 g/t Ag) from 1,367 meters below surface 79.80 m @ 2.02 g/t Au from 1,727 meters below surface, including 2.70 m @ 25.58 g/t AuEq (25.53 g/t Au, 3 g/t Ag) from 1,727 meters below surface 15.50 m @ 1.51 g/t Au from 1,752 meters below surface 16.35 m @ 2.60 g/t Au from 1,787 meters below surface Ramp Zone – Three Step-Out Holes North and Northwest of the Mineral Resource APC164-D5, APC172-D1 and APC164-D6 stepped out north and northwest of the Mineral Resource into previously untested areas, intersecting broad and high-grade mineralization that remains open laterally and at depth. APC164-D5 intersected high-grade mineralization approximately 100 meters beyond the Mineral Resource boundary (approximately 90 meters deeper and 50 meters to the north) and a second interval approximately 105 meters beyond it (approximately 65 meters deeper and 80 meters to the north). APC172-D1 intersected mineralization approximately 120 meters beyond the boundary (approximately 105 meters deeper and 50 meters to the north) and a second interval approximately 190 meters directly below the Mineral Resource. APC164-D6 intersected high-grade mineralization approximately 135 meters beyond the boundary (approximately 115 meters deeper and 75 meters to the northwest). Distances are measured from each interval to the nearest stope shape of the Mineral Resource; depth and lateral extensions are the vertical and horizontal components of that distance. Assay results are as follows: APC164-D5 13.75 m @ 11.68 g/t AuEq (11.25 g/t Au, 22 g/t Ag) from 1,248 meters below surface 117.80 m @ 1.59 g/t Au from 1,459 meters below surface, including 18.60 m @ 3.05 g/t AuEq (2.99 g/t Au, 3 g/t Ag) from 1,459 meters below surface 1.40 m @ 11.35 g/t Au from 1,488 meters below surface 17.75 m @ 3.06 g/t AuEq (3.04 g/t Au, 1 g/t Ag) from 1,518 meters below surface 8.95 m @ 3.92 g/t Au from 1,561 meters below surface APC172-D1 16.15 m @ 1.23 g/t AuEq (1.15 g/t Au, 4 g/t Ag) from 1,287 meters below surface 1.40 m @ 11.66 g/t AuEq (11.60 g/t Au, 3 g/t Ag) from 1,416 meters below surface 3.80 m @ 5.21 g/t Au from 1,477 meters below surface 26.75 m @ 3.42 g/t Au from 1,504 meters below surface 7.80 m @ 5.97 g/t AuEq (5.94 g/t Au, 2 g/t Ag) from 1,593 meters below surface APC164-D6 2.15 m @ 8.14 g/t AuEq (8.08 g/t Au, 3 g/t Ag) from 1,294 meters below surface 1.15 m @ 7.26 g/t Au from 1,378 meters below surface 1.65 m @ 9.31 g/t AuEq (9.21 g/t Au, 5 g/t Ag) from 1,442 meters below surface 2.00 m @ 5.19 g/t AuEq (5.13 g/t Au, 3 g/t Ag) from 1,460 meters below surface 20.90 m @ 3.41 g/t AuEq (3.39 g/t Au, 1 g/t Ag) from 1,491 meters below surface Drilling Results Compared with the Mineral Resource The Ramp Zone's Mineral Resource extends down to 650 masl, the depth of the deepest drill hole included in the estimate. Every interval classified as "Below" in Table 1 lies below that elevation and outside the current Mineral Resource. The bottom of the deepest interval, at 1,044.85 meters down hole in APC171-D3 at approximately 280 masl, lies approximately 370 vertical meters below the base of the Mineral Resource and approximately 1,800 meters below surface. Ramp Zone mineralization has now been intersected over approximately 720 vertical meters, from approximately 1,000 to 280 masl, compared with approximately 350 vertical meters defined in the Mineral Resource. Higher in the hole, APC171-D3's broad and high-grade interval of 44.55 m @ 5.75 g/t AuEq lies largely within the Mineral Resource but returned grades 154% higher than the estimated grades of the blocks it crossed (5.75 g/t AuEq vs 2.26 g/t AuEq). The hole's included section of 21.40 m @ 11.06 g/t AuEq lies entirely within the Mineral Resource, in blocks estimated at approximately 3.7 g/t AuEq (approximately 200% higher). This comparison is local, is presented for geological context only, and does not represent an update to the Mineral Resource. Ramp Zone: Drilling Coverage to Date The Ramp Zone's Mineral Resource covers approximately 315 meters (approximately 21%) of the interpreted 1.5-kilometer circumference of the Apollo breccia body at depth. Ramp Zone mineralization within the Mineral Resource area and along the rest of the circumference is currently being expanded through drilling and remains open in all directions, including at depth. Readers are cautioned that drilling outside the Mineral Resource does not, by itself, establish an extension of the Mineral Resource. Ramp Zone drilling has also intersected Ramp Zone-style sulphide mineralization in core logging, including visible gold in APC174-D6, APC174-D7, APC174-D8, APC180-D4 and APC181-D1, and visible scheelite with gold in APC180-D3. Assay results for these holes are pending. Visual observations are not a substitute for assay results and should not be interpreted as indicative of grade. The Ramp Zone is interpreted as a younger vein event related to a reduced intrusion-related gold system, with mineralogical similarities to the nearby Marmato Lower Mine, owned by Aris Mining. The two systems, approximately 1.75 kilometers apart, commence at broadly similar elevations and host very similar gold- and silver-bearing sulphide assemblages. A key distinguishing feature of Ramp Zone-style mineralization is the occurrence of higher gold grades relative to publicly reported results from the Marmato Lower Mine. The Company attributes these locally higher grades primarily to the higher porosity of the host rock: mineralization at the Ramp Zone is emplaced within a porous crackle breccia matrix, which provides greater permeability for metal-bearing fluids compared to the porphyry host rock at the Marmato Lower Mine. Cautionary Note to Readers Although Apollo (including the Ramp Zone) and the Marmato Lower Mine (also referred to as the Bulk Mining Zone or formerly as Marmato Deeps) share certain geological characteristics, information regarding the Marmato Lower Mine is not necessarily indicative of mineralization in the Ramp Zone. Information regarding the Marmato Lower Mine has not been independently verified by the Company or its Qualified Person in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). All information presented herein regarding the Marmato Lower Mine is derived from the NI 43-101 compliant technical report titled "Technical Report for the Marmato Gold Mine, Caldas Department, Colombia, PFS of the Lower Mine Expansion Project," with an effective date of June 30, 2022 (filed November 23, 2022).

Mr. Jones has verified the data underlying the Mineral Resource and has reviewed and approved the Mineral Resource information contained in this news release in the form and context in which it appears. Technical Information Samples were cut by Company personnel at Collective Mining's core facility in Caldas, Colombia. Diamond drill core was sawn and then sampled in maximum 2-meter intervals, stopping at geological boundaries. Drill hole core diameter is a mix of PQ, HQ and NQ depending on the depth of the drill hole. Core samples were prepared and analyzed at ALS laboratory facilities in Medellín, Colombia and Lima, Peru for gold, silver, copper and tungsten assays, and multi-element ICP. ALS is an accredited laboratory which is independent of the Company. Gold assays were obtained by fire assay fusion with AAS finish on a 50 g sample (Au-AA24). Any samples returning greater than 10 g/t were reanalyzed by fire assay with gravimetric finish on a 50 g sample (Au-GRA22). Copper and silver were assayed by inductively coupled plasma–atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) following a 4-acid digestion. Tungsten was analyzed with the ME-MS61 multi-element suite, while WO₃ was determined by X-ray fluorescence (XRF-15b/15c). Samples were also analyzed for a suite of 48 elements with ME-MS61 plus mercury and a sequential copper leach analysis was completed on each sample with copper greater than 10,000 parts per million. Blanks, duplicates, and certified reference standards were inserted into the sample stream to monitor laboratory performance. Crush rejects and pulps were retained and stored in a secured storage facility for future assay verification. No capping has been applied to sample composites. The Company utilizes a rigorous, industry-standard QA/QC program.

Cautionary Note to United States Investors The Company is a Canadian issuer that reports its Mineral Resource information in accordance with NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards, which differ from the mineral property disclosure requirements applicable to U.S. domestic issuers under Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K ("S-K 1300"). As a foreign private issuer eligible to file reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the U.S.-Canada Multijurisdictional Disclosure System, the Company is not currently required to prepare its mineral property disclosure in accordance with S-K 1300. Accordingly, Mineral Resource information contained in this news release may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies subject to S-K 1300, and there can be no assurance that Mineral Resources reported by the Company under NI 43-101 would be the same if prepared in accordance with S-K 1300.
