Collective Mining Expands the New Porphyry Discovery at San Antonio by

Cutting 172.40 Metres at 1.40 g/t Au, 0.16% Cu, 17 g/t Ag and 68 ppm Mo

with the Hole Bottoming in Strong Mineralization

Latest drill results at

San Antonio

into the Pound target have expanded the footprint of the recently discovered porphyry system and intersected

multiple mineralized zones:

Hole SAC-18, located two hundred and fifty metres south of previously announced discovery hole SAC-11, was drilled vertically into a mineralized

porphyry system and intersected:

172.40 metres @ 1.88 g/t gold equivalent (1.40 g/t Au, 0.16% Cu, 17 g/t Ag, 68 ppm Mo) including:

28.50 metres @ 3.32 g/t AuEq (2.05 g/t Au, 0.20% Cu, 62 g/t Ag, 12 ppm Mo) and

60.75 metres @ 2.27 g/t AuEq (2.05 g/t Au, 0.17% Cu, 4 g/t Ag, 98 ppm Mo)

The hole was terminated prematurely while in strong mineralization due to the limitation of the rig with the final 1.60 metres averaging 2.03 g/t

AuEq

Hole SAC-15

was drilled to the south from the same pad as SAC-18 at a flatter angle and also intersected the same mineralized system returning:

154.20

metres @ 1.22 g/t gold equivalent (1.12 g/t Au, 0.03% Cu, 11 g/t Ag) including:

58.00 metres @ 2.15 g/t AuEq (1.95 g/t Au, 0.03% Cu, 21 g/t Ag)

16.05 metres @ 2.17 g/t AuEq (2.03 g/t Au, 0.08% Cu, 12 g/t Ag)

SAC-15 also bottomed in strong mineralization due to the depth capacity limit of the rig with the final 9.90 meters averaging 3.18 g/t AuEq

(2.99 g/t Au, 0.11% Cu, 17 g/t Ag).

Three porphyry related mineralized phases have now been identified at the Pound target as follows:

Phase 1 is a large, three by three-kilometre area covering the entirety of the

San Antonio

project displaying a phyllic altered, porphyry halo

zone, which hosts low grade gold (0.2 g/t Au-0.5 g/t Au), extends from surface to a minimum of 700 metres depth and is open in all directions.

Phase 2 is a late-stage, gold and silver rich sheeted veinlet system (CBM Veins) beginning at surface but with more robust grades starting

from 300 metres below surface (see Table 3).

Phase 2 mineralization is found close to or in contact with the Phase 3 porphyry system.

Phase 3 is a gold-copper-silver-molybdenum porphyry system with potassic alteration (secondary biotite). This system commences at

approximately 400 metres below surface and displays an unusually high gold to copper ratio of up to 4:1 in grade.

Both Phase 2 and Phase 3

mineralized zones are found within the large Phase 1 mineralized porphyry halo (See Table 2).

Drill holes SAC-11 (see press release dated

May 5, 2025

), SAC-15 and SAC-18 have tested approximately 450 metres of north-to-south strike

length with the system remaining open in all directions. Due to rig limitations, holes SAC-15, SAC-18 and SAC-20 (assay results pending) were

stopped prematurely while still in strong mineralization. A higher capacity rig is now drilling hole SAC-21 and is progressing at a significantly

improved rate.

Magnetic Vector Inversion ("MVI") modelling of airborne geophysical data is proving to be quite useful at identifying Phase 2 and Phase 3

porphyry mineralization (see Figure 2) and as a result drill hole SAC-21 is currently being directed into an MVI high.

/CNW/ -

Collective Mining Ltd.

(NYSE: CNL) (TSX: CNL)

("Collective" or the "Company")

is pleased to announce that drilling

assay results from the San Antonio Project's Pound target ("Pound") have confirmed that the Company has discovered a high-grade porphyry system over a

minimum strike length of 450 metres (open), which locates within a gold mineralized halo envelope measuring 3 kilometres x 3 kilometres and is open in all

directions. The San Antonio Project is located between 2 kilometres and 5 kilometres to the east-northeast from the Company's flagship Guayabales Project

within the Caldas Department in

Colombia

.

The Company currently has eleven drill rigs operating as part of its fully funded 70,000-metre drill program for 2025 with three rigs at the San Antonio Project and

eight rigs at the Guayabales Project. Drilling at the Guayabales Project is focused on multiple objectives which include defining shallow mineralization at the

Apollo

system, expanding and identifying new high-grade sub-zones at the

Apollo

system, expanding the high-grade Ramp Zone ("Ramp") (located at the bottom of

Apollo

) at depth and along strike and testing new targets across the project. Two deep capacity drill rigs are at

Apollo

with the first rig now drilling a mother hole

to test Ramp after successfully extending an earlier step-out hole for Ramp which failed to reach its intended depth (assays results pending). A second deep

capacity rig has recently arrived at site and is expected to begin drilling a second mother hole to test the high-grade Ramp Zone discovery within the next two

weeks.

Approximately 10,000 metres of diamond drilling has been completed to date at the San Antonio Project, including 6,500 metres at the Pound target. There are

currently two drill holes awaiting assay results with three more holes currently being drilled at the San Antonio Project.

Ari Sussman

, Executive Chairman commented: "Having just walked the entire San Antonio Project with the team, I am extremely impressed by the sheer scale of

the system and its exciting potential. Although exploration is in its infancy, we are confident that aggressive drilling will prove fruitful as we advance our

understanding of the system. It is important to note that the porphyry system discovered at the Pound target is approximately equal distance (3.5 kilometres) to

the proposed infrastructure location for a future mine from our

Apollo

system at the neighbouring Guayabales Project. Equally important factors about the San

Antonio Project are that the hydro-power lines run right across the project, the porphyry discovery at Pound is located less than a kilometre from the Pan

American highway and there are no communities living on or near the area."

Pound Target

Results outlined in this press release have expanded the footprint of the porphyry discovery previously announced in SAC-11 (see press release dated

May 5,

2025

) southwards by over 450 metres and intersected multiple mineralized zones:

SAC-18 was drilled vertically from Pad 5 and intersected a strong zone of late-stage porphyry related sheeted veins before entering an Au-Cu-Ag-Mo rich

porphyry system with results as follows:

172.40 metres @ 1.88 g/t AuEq (1.40 g/t Au, 0.16% Cu, 17 g/t Ag, 68 ppm Mo) which includes higher density mineralized sub-zones of:

28.50 metres @ 3.32 g/t AuEq (2.05 g/t Au, 0.20% Cu, 62 g/t Ag, 12 ppm Mo) and

60.75 metres @ 2.27 g/t AuEq (2.05 g/t Au, 0.17% Cu, 4 g/t Ag, 98 ppm Mo)

SAC-18 was terminated early and bottomed in strong porphyry mineralization due to the depth capacity limit of the rig with the final sample averaging 1.60

metres @ 2.03 g/t AuEq (1.91 g/t Au, 0.07% Cu, 6 g/t Ag).

SAC-15 was drilled from Pad 5 to the south-southwest and entered a gold rich zone of sheeted veinlet mineralization as follows:

154.20

metres @ 1.22 g/t AuEq (1.12 g/t Au, 0.03% Cu, 11 g/t Ag) from 443.10 metres downhole including:

58.00 metres @ 2.15 g/t AuEq (1.95 g/t Au, 0.03% Cu, 21 g/t Ag)

16.05 metres @ 2.17 g/t AuEq (2.03 g/t Au, 0.08% Cu, 12 g/t Ag)

SAC-15 also bottomed in the contact fault between the gold rich zone and what the Company believes would have been the main porphyry system due to

the depth capacity limit of the rig with the final 9.90 metres averaging 3.18 g/t AuEq (2.99 g/t Au, 0.11% Cu, 17 g/t Ag).

With holes SAC-15, SAC-18 and SAC-20 (awaiting assay results) bottoming in significant mineralization due to rig capacity limitations, all rigs at

San Antonio

have been upgraded with three rigs now operating at optimal performance parameters.

SAC-16 was a short hole drilled from Pad 5 to the west at a shallow dip angle and is interpreted to have been drilled above the zones of strong

mineralization. Still, some sections of late-stage porphyry related gold mineralization were encountered in the hole with results as follows:

25.40

metres @ 0.32 g/t AuEq from 14.00 metres downhole

11.90 metres @ 2.59 g/t AuEq from 144.00 metres downhole

14.55 metres @ 2.09 g/t AuEq from 179.85 metres downhole

SAC-12 and SAC-14 were drilled steeply from Pad 6 to the northeast and southeast respectively, and intersected Phase 1 porphyry halo style gold dominant

mineralization from shallow depths as follows:

642.25 metres @ 0.36 g/t gold equivalent from 23.40 metres downhole (SAC-12) including:

25.35 metres @ 0.71 g/t AuEq

21.15

metres @ 0.64 g/t gold equivalent from 51.05 metres downhole (SAC-14) and;

183.05 metres @ 0.32 g/t gold equivalent from 184.55 metres downhole and;

79.95 metres @ 0.32 g/t gold equivalent from 454.75 metres downhole

SAC-13 was drilled steeply from Pad 7 to the northeast and also cut Phase 1 shallow gold dominant mineralization associated to the porphyry pyrite halo

zone with assay results as follows:

8.70 metres @ 2.26 g/t gold equivalent from 33.40 metres downhole

124.40 metres @ 0.35 g/t gold equivalent from 84.20 metres downhole

211.50 metres @ 0.51 g/t gold equivalent from 329.45 metres downhole

Relogging of previous drilling and interpretation of these new results and more extensive surface mapping in the San Antonio Project have resulted in the

identification of three mineralized phases which outline a very large porphyry footprint and are summarized below:

Phase 1 is a large, three kilometre x three-kilometre area displaying a phyllic altered, porphyry halo zone, which hosts low grade gold (0.2 g/t Au-0.5 g/t

Au), extends from surface to a minimum of 700 metres depth and is open in all directions. At surface it envelops and includes the Pound, COP, COP

West, Euro and Euro West targets. The Company plans to drill test all of these targets in 2025.

Phase 2 is a late-stage, gold and silver rich sheeted veinlet system (CBM Veins) beginning at surface but with more robust grades from 300 metres

below surface.

Phase 3 is a gold-copper-silver-molybdenum porphyry system with potassic alteration (secondary biotite). This system commences at approximately 400

metres below surface and displays an unusually high gold to copper ratio of up to 4:1 in grade

.

Phase 2 mineralization locates close to or in contact with the Phase 3 porphyry system. Both Phase 2 and Phase 3 mineralized zones are found within

the large Phase 1 mineralized porphyry halo. Examples of Phase 2 and Phase 3 mineralization are provided in assay Table 2 and Table 3.

SAC-17 was drilled as an exploratory hole into a greenfield target named Real. The hole failed to intersect any material mineralization and as a result the

Real target has been downgraded with no further drilling planned in this area.

Ag, 90% for Cu, 85% for Zn and 85% for Pb. AuEq (g/t) calculation considers Zn or Pb values when Zn>0.1% or Pb>0.05% for each intercept. Recovery rate

assumptions are speculative as limited metallurgical work has been completed to date but is based on other comparable deposits in neighboring South

American countries. True widths are unknown, and grades are uncut.

Founded by the team that developed and sold Continental Gold Inc. to Zijin Mining for approximately

$2 billion

in enterprise value, Collective is a gold, silver,

copper and tungsten exploration company with projects in Caldas,

Colombia

. The Company has options to acquire 100% interest in two projects located directly

within an established mining camp with ten fully permitted and operating mines.

The Company's flagship project, Guayabales, is anchored by the

Apollo

system, which hosts the large-scale, bulk-tonnage and high-grade gold-silver-copper-

tungsten

Apollo

system. The Company's objectives are to improve the overall grade of the

Apollo

system by systematically drill testing newly modeled potentially

high-grade sub-zones, expand the newly discovered high-grade Ramp Zone along strike and to depth and drill a series of greenfield generated targets on the

property. 

Additionally, the Company has launched its largest drilling campaign in history at the San Antonio Project as it looks to the expand upon the newly discovered

porphyry system. The San Antonio Project is located between two kilometres and five kilometers east-northeast of the Guayabales Project and could potentially

share infrastructure given their close proximity to each other.

Management, insiders, a strategic investor and close family and friends own 44.5% of the outstanding shares of the Company and as a result, are fully aligned

with shareholders. The Company is listed on both the NYSE and TSX under the trading symbol "CNL".
