Collective Mining Outlines a Porphyry System at Plutus by Intersecting 328.05 Metres @ 0.31 g/t Gold Equivalent from Surface

Plutus is located approximately one kilometer east of the Company’s flagship Apollo system. This large target measures approximately 1,000 metres by 750 metres as defined by coincidental copper, gold and molybdenum soil anomalies and limited surface sampling. In the northwest portion of the target area, previous drilling has intersected a porphyry related breccia pipe which yielded multiple broad intercepts including 136.45 metres @ 1.31 g/t AuEq (see press release dated October 11, 2023).

Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman commented: “Drilling of the porphyry target at Plutus is off to a positive start as the initial phase of radial drilling was simply designed to outline the geometry of the early porphyry phase of the system.  The results are pointing to an interesting target to the north and at depth of the current drilling and once assay results for the final two outstanding radial holes are received and analyzed, deeper drilling will commence.”
