Company Overview

Collective Mining Ltd. is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the discovery and development of precious and base metal deposits, primarily in Colombia. The company operates in the mining and mineral exploration industry, with an emphasis on gold, silver, copper, and tungsten systems located within established mining districts. Its principal value driver is the advancement of exploration-stage projects through drilling, resource delineation, and geological modeling, with a primary focus on the Guayabales Project in the Caldas department of Colombia. The company is publicly traded on the TSX and NYSE American under the ticker symbol CNL.

The company was established in 2020 following the acquisition and consolidation of exploration assets in Colombia associated with former exploration teams linked to Continental Gold’s regional activities. Collective Mining has positioned itself as a high-growth exploration company through aggressive drilling campaigns, district-scale land consolidation, and a focus on underexplored mineralized belts with existing mining infrastructure. Its strategy centers on identifying large-scale, multi-metal systems capable of supporting future mine development or strategic partnerships with larger mining companies.

Business Operations

Collective Mining’s operations are centered on mineral exploration and project advancement in Colombia. Its core operating assets include the Guayabales Project and the San Antonio Project, both located in the Middle Cauca mineral belt, a region recognized for significant gold and copper deposits. Revenue generation is currently limited because the company remains in the exploration and development stage rather than commercial production. Capital is primarily sourced through equity financing, strategic investments, and public market offerings used to fund drilling, geological studies, permitting, and infrastructure development.

The company controls exploration licenses, drilling infrastructure, geological databases, and mineral rights associated with its Colombian properties. Collective Mining has worked with local contractors, technical consultants, and exploration service providers to expand drilling activity and resource evaluation. Its operational footprint remains concentrated in Colombia, although financing and corporate administration are managed through Canadian capital markets and international investor participation. The company has also emphasized environmental stewardship and community engagement as part of its operating approach in mining jurisdictions.

Strategic Position & Investments

Collective Mining’s strategic direction is focused on advancing high-grade discovery targets toward potential resource estimation and long-term development. The company has prioritized extensive drilling at the Apollo, Olympus, and related targets within the Guayabales Project, where exploration results have indicated broad mineralized intervals containing gold, silver, copper, and tungsten. Management has emphasized district-scale exploration potential as a differentiating factor compared with single-asset junior mining companies.

The company has pursued growth through continued land acquisitions and exploration expansion in Colombia rather than through large-scale mergers or producing-asset acquisitions. Strategic investment activity has included capital raises from institutional investors and participation by mining-focused funds. Collective Mining’s involvement in polymetallic systems containing copper and tungsten also provides exposure to metals associated with industrial demand and energy-transition supply chains, broadening its strategic relevance beyond gold exploration alone.

Geographic Footprint

Collective Mining is headquartered in Toronto, Canada, while its principal operational activities are concentrated in Colombia, particularly within the Caldas Department of the Middle Cauca belt. The company’s exploration portfolio is situated in a region with established mining history, existing transportation access, and proximity to major mining operations operated by international producers.

Although operationally focused on South America, Collective Mining maintains exposure to international capital markets through listings in Canada and the United States. Its investor base includes North American and international institutional mining investors, and the company’s exploration programs are designed to position its Colombian assets within the broader global precious and base metals market.

Leadership & Governance

Collective Mining’s leadership team combines mining finance, geology, exploration, and mine-development experience. The company was co-founded by executives and technical personnel with prior experience in Colombian mining exploration and capital markets. Management has consistently communicated a strategy centered on rapid exploration advancement, disciplined capital allocation, and building long-term shareholder value through discovery-driven growth.

• Ari Sussman – Executive Chairman
• David Reading – Special Advisor and Director
• Paul Murphy – Vice President of Exploration
• Anas Alabbasi – Chief Financial Officer
• Rodrigo de Miguel – Vice President of Operations
• Maria Consuelo Araujo – Vice President of Sustainable Development

The company’s governance structure reflects standard Canadian public-company practices, including an independent board of directors and compliance with Canadian securities regulations. Leadership has emphasized technical rigor, responsible exploration practices, and maintaining operational flexibility while advancing the company’s Colombian exploration portfolio.
