Collective Mining Expands the Dimensions of the High-Grade Shallow Zone of Mineralization at the Apollo Porphyry System and Intersects Significant Visual Mineralization Along the Newly Discovered Contact Zone

  • Hole APC-46 was drilled westward from Pad 6 and intersected a long and continuous interval of gold-silver-copper mineralization beginning at surface in oxide mineralization and bottoming in mineralization with results as follows:
  • APC-46 extended the strike length of the shallow mineralization to the west with the dimensions now measuring 160 metres x 130 metres (previously 150 metres x 130 metres).
  • APC-46 bottomed in mineralization in quartz diorite porphyry with the final 7.1 metres averaging 0.88 g/t AuEq.
  • APC-44 was drilled to the northwest from Pad 6 and intercepted a long and continuous zone of gold-silver-copper mineralization beginning at surface in oxide material and bottoming in mineralization with results as follows:
  • Detailed visual logging of drill hole APC-53, which was drilled to the northeast from Pad 10, indicates that two potentially significant zones of mineralization were encountered along the hole. APC-53 was designed to step-out along the recently announced “Contact Zone” where drill hole APC-42 cut 104.8 metres from surface at 5.56 g/t AuEq (see press release dated April 25, 2023). The reader should take caution until assay results are received from a third-party laboratory as visual results are inherently unreliable in nature.
  • Eight additional holes have been completed at the Apollo system with assay results for APC-45, APC-47 and APC-48 expected in the near term. All eight holes intersected cumulative mineralization over varying yet significant downhole drill lengths. Three drill rigs are operating on site with a fourth rig expected to begin operating prior to the end of Q2, 2023. Once onsite, the fourth rig will focus on testing the six new exploration targets directly surrounding the Apollo system (see press release dated April 18, 2023 for further details).

Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman commented: “The first part of our 2023 drilling program, which was focused on outlining the near surface portion of the Apollo system is nearing completion. The next phase of the program is already underway and will focus on growth by looking to expand the Apollo system with step-out drilling and by testing satellite targets surrounding Apollo and other targets on the greater Guayabales property. The visual observations from APC-53 are very exciting as the Contact Zone hosts an intensity of sheeted CBM veins not observed yet elsewhere at the project. We look forward to continuing drilling this new area as we look to unlock its high-grade potential.”

TORONTO, May 16, 2023 /CNW/ – Collective Mining Ltd. (TSXV: CNL) (OTCQX: CNLMF) (“Collective” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results from a further two drill holes completed within the Apollo porphyry system (“Apollo”) as well as visuals from a new exploratory drill hole at the Guayabales project located in Caldas, Colombia.  Apollo is a high-grade, bulk tonnage copper-silver-gold system, which owes its excellent metal endowment to an older copper-silver and gold porphyry system being overprinted by younger precious metal rich, carbonate base metal vein systems (intermediate sulphidation porphyry veins) within a magmatic, hydrothermal inter-mineral breccia body currently measuring 395 metres x 385 metres x 915 metres and open for expansion.

APC-44 and APC-46 Details (See Table 1 and Figures 1-4)

The Phase II drilling program of 2023 is advancing on schedule with fifteen holes completed and results announced. A further eight holes have been drilled and await assay results from the lab. The objectives of the 2023 program are to define the high-grade mineralization and dimensions of the Apollo porphyry system near surface, expand the size of the system through step-out and directional drilling and drill test multiple new targets generated through grassroots exploration. Since the announcement of the discovery hole at Apollo in June 2022, a total of 46 drill holes (approximately 20,700 metres) have been completed and assayed.

This press release outlines results from two exploratory holes drilled in westerly directions from Pad 6 and designed to understand and expand upon the shallow mineralization and the morphology of the system on its western side. Assay results and geological observations for both holes are summarized below:

APC-44 was drilled steeply to the northwest from surface at Pad 6 to a maximum downhole depth of 430.2 metres. The mineralized interval of oxidation commenced from surface to 37.55 metres and consists of saprolite from 2 to 21.95 metres followed by a transition zone down to 39.55 metres. The transition zone hosts iron oxides formed from the oxidation of the original sulphides hosted within the matrix of the breccia and within veins. Below the zone of oxidation, the intercept passed into fresh rock hosting mineralized breccia with a sulphide composition of 0.4% chalcopyrite, 1.0% pyrite and some pyrrhotite (up to 0.3%). Mineralization continued until 430.2 metres (420 metres vertical) when drilling was stopped while still in mineralization. At 148.25 metres downhole for approximately 18.5 metres, a zone of sheeted carbonate and base metal vein (CBM) material flooding the breccia matrix was encountered, containing 0.2% to 0.5% sphalerite and chalcopyrite associated with higher gold grades. The following assay results are highlighted:

  • 428.2 metres @ 1.41 g/t gold equivalent from 2 metres downhole (consisting of 0.61 g/t gold, 29 g/t silver and 0.24% copper) and including:

APC-46 was drilled to the west from Pad 6 to a maximum downhole depth of 428.20 metres and was targeted to test the westward extension of the Apollo system from surface. The drill hole intercepted porphyry and breccia impregnated mineralization before bottoming while still in mineralization at the end of the hole (400 metres vertical). The mineralized interval commenced directly below cover material from 5.75 metres depth with saprolite followed by saprock and then continued into transition material (oxidized sulphides) until a downhole depth of 28.25 metres. Below the oxide transition zone, the intercept passed into fresh rock consisting of quartz diorite breccia with a matrix of chalcopyrite (0.4%), pyrite (0.8%) and pyrrhotite (0.4%) before entering a post mineral dyke at 363.8 metres. At 418.45 metres, the hole exited the post mineral dyke and entered into quartz diorite porphyry until being terminated within mineralization at 425.6 metres. Assay results for this hole are as follows:

  • 358.0 metres @ 1.52 g/t gold equivalent from 5.75 metres downhole (consisting of 0.55 g/t gold, 31 g/t silver and 0.32% copper) including:
  • APC-46 is notable for the fact it expanded the near surface mineralization to the west and as a result, the overall dimensions have grown to 160 metres x 130 metres (previously 150 metres x 130 metres).

APC-53 Details (see Figure 3)

Detailed visual inspection of recently completed drill hole APC-53 has intersected two distinct zones of mineralization. APC-53 was drilled to the northeast from Pad 10 and was expected to remain above the known mineralized system until 230 metres downhole when it would enter mineralized breccia. However, an intense zone of multiple sheeted CBM veins overprinting mineralized quartz diorite was intersected from surface to a downhole depth of up to 150 metres. This newly discovered zone hosts continuous sheeted CBM veinlets containing sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite and pyrite which overprint quartz diorite porphyry mineralization consisting of quartz vein stockwork hosting pyrite and minor chalcopyrite. As the hole progressed, typical mineralized angular breccia was intercepted downhole at 233 metres and continued for approximately 285 metres in length.  Multiple zones of sheeted CBM zones flooding the matrix were observed within the breccia. In particular, a zone extremely enriched in CBM vein fluid was observed from 277 metres downhole to 334 metres downhole with the breccia matrix hosting abundant sphalerite (0.2% to 3%) and galena (0.1% to 3%) as well as chalcopyrite (0.3% to 2.0%).  Assay results for APC-53 are expected in June 2023 and additional drilling in this area is planned in the short term.

Apollo Drill Program

Eight additional holes have been completed at the Apollo system with assay results expected in the near term. All holes intersected bulk tonnage mineralization over significant core lengths.

The Company presently has three diamond drill rigs operating at the Apollo project. A fourth drill rig is being mobilized to the project and is expected to initiate testing of the new exploration targets identified around Apollo (see press release dated April 18, 2023) in June 2023.

The Apollo target area, as defined to date by surface mapping, rock sampling and copper and molybdenum soil geochemistry, covers a 1,000 metres X 1,200 metres area, and represents a large and unusually high-grade Cu-Ag-Au porphyry system. Mineralization styles include early-stage porphyry veins, inter-mineral breccia mineralization and multiple zones of porphyry related late stage, sheeted, carbonate-base metal veins with high gold and silver grades. The Apollo target area is still expanding as the Company’s geologists have found multiple additional outcrop areas (see Collective press release dated April 18, 2023) with porphyry veining, breccia, and late stage, sheeted, carbonate base metal veins.

Corporate Updates

Timok Dispute Update
On January 27, 2022 the Company announced that it had suspended the filing of a Notice of Arbitration to Zijin Mining Group Ltd (“Zijin”) regarding its royalty agreement covering the Timok project in Serbia, which includes the producing Cukaru Peki copper and gold mine. This suspension followed EMX’s previous announcement of its intention to file the Notice of Arbitration to formally dispute the royalty rate as defined under the Royalty Agreement (see EMX news release dated December 17, 2021). Discussions with Zijin have since proved amicable and productive and continued through Q1 2023. Both companies are expecting to execute a modified royalty agreement in 2023.

Acquisition of Additional Royalty Interest on Caserones
Subsequent to March 31, 2023, EMX acquired an additional 2.263% ownership in the underlying Caserones royalty holder, Sociedad Legal Minera California Una de la Sierra Peña Negra (“SLM”), for cash consideration of $3,517,000 pursuant to agreements with existing shareholders of SLM. The acquisition provides EMX with a further 0.044% (effective) net smelter royalty (“NSR”) interest in the Caserones property, increasing the Company’s NSR royalty interest to 0.7775%.

Royalty and Royalty Generation Updates

During Q1 2023, the Company’s royalty generation business was active in North America, South America, Europe, Turkey, Australia and Morocco. The Company spent $5,730,000 (Q1-2022 – $4,262,000) on royalty generation costs and recovered $2,884,000 (Q1-2022 – $2,128,000) from partners. Royalty generation costs include exploration related activities, technical services, project marketing, land and legal costs, as well as third party due diligence for acquisitions. During Q1 2023, the Company also completed four partnerships across the portfolio while continuing to replace partnered properties with new royalty generation projects.

Highlights from Q1 2023 include the following:

  • In the US, the Company’s royalty portfolio advanced with more than 10 partner-funded work programs, including 2 drill projects, and the expansion of several properties through the staking of new claims. The Company continued to advance projects retained by South32 Limited, including the ongoing drill program at the Copper Springs project in Arizona’s Globe-Miami district.
  • EMX executed definitive agreements to sell the Company’s a) portfolio of 14 early stage precious and base metal projects in Idaho (i.e., ranging from grassroot to historical resource properties) and b) wholly-owned core drilling subsidiary, Scout Drilling LLC, to Scout Discoveries Corp. (see EMX news release dated March 8, 2023). The terms of the definitive agreements provide EMX with an equity interest, retained 3.25% NSR royalty interests, AAR payments, and certain milestone payments as the portfolio is advanced. The portfolio represents the largest unpatented claim holdings in Idaho.
  • In Canada, EMX programs advanced available properties in the portfolio as partners conducted multiple field programs, including drill programs on EMX royalty properties. EMX received C$16,000 in cash payments and C$Nil in share equity payments during the quarter.
  • EMX’s Latin American royalty portfolio advanced with work programs that included drilling at the Diablillos project’s JAC Zone silver-gold discovery by AbraSilver Resource Corp., the commencement of a drill program at Pampa Metals Corporation’s Block 4 Buenavista target, as well as updated resource estimates at Aftermath Silver Ltd.’s Berenguela polymetallic CRD project and GR Silver Mining Ltd’s San Marcial epithermal silver project.
  • Lundin Mining Corporation (“Lundin”) entered into a binding purchase agreement with JX Nippon to acquire fifty-one percent (51%) of the issued and outstanding equity of MLCC, the Caserones mine operator (see Lundin news release dated March 27, 2023). Lundin will also have the right to acquire up to an additional 19% interest in Caserones.
  • In Northern Europe the Company continued to develop its portfolio of projects, acquiring new gold and battery metals (nickel, copper and cobalt) royalty generation projects totaling 15,456 hectares, and partnered four available properties. Partner funded drill programs were completed by Capella Minerals Ltd at EMX’s Kjoli royalty property in Norway and by Kendirck Resources PLC at EMX’s Espedalen royalty property in Norway. Results from those programs are pending. Drilling also commenced at the Mo-I-Rana royalty property in Norway at the end of Q1 (operated by Mahvie Minerals AB, a private Swedish corporation).
  • Royalty generation programs proceeded in the Balkans and in Morocco, where multiple exploration license applications have been filed by the Company. New target areas are being assessed for further acquisitions.

Investment Updates

As at March 31, 2023, the Company had marketable securities of $9,421,000 (December 31, 2022 – $9,966,000), and $4,678,000 (December 31, 2022 – $4,591,000) in private investments. The Company will continue to generate cash flow by selling certain of its investments when appropriate. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 EMX generated $776,000 (Q1-2022 – $662,000) from the sale of investments. Much of the investment portfolio was derived from strategic investments including Premium Nickel Resources Ltd., and royalty deals completed as part of our organic royalty generation business.

OUTLOOK

The 2023 year will continue to see revenue and other income coming from our cash flowing royalties, including Leeville in Nevada, Gediktepe in Turkey, potentially Timok in Serbia (pending conclusion of discussions with Zijin), and our effective royalty interest on Caserones in Chile. As in previous years, production royalties will continue to be complemented by option, advance royalty, and other pre-production payments from partnered projects across the global asset portfolio. As a royalty holder, the Company has limited, if any, access to information on properties for which it holds royalties. Additionally, the Company may receive information from the owners and operators of the properties, which the Company is not permitted to disclose to the public pursuant to the underlying agreement or the information is not NI 43-101 compliant. Accordingly, the Company has not, and does not anticipate that it will have the ability to, provide guidance or outlook as to future production.

The Company will continue to strengthen its balance sheet over the course of the year by looking to retire portions of our long-term debt, continuing to evaluate equity markets, and the ongoing monetization of the Company’s marketable securities.

EMX is well positioned to identify and pursue new royalty and investment opportunities, while further filling a pipeline of royalty generation properties that provide opportunities for additional cash flow, as well as exploration, development, and production success.
