503 g/t AgEq Over 12.85m Confirms Colombia’s Silver Boom for Collective Mining

As global trust in paper assets continues to erode, investors are turning to hard assets—and Collective Mining is emerging as a breakout name in the metals sector. In this exclusive Kitco Mining interview, Executive Chairman Ari Sussman explains how discovery, grade, and momentum are driving the company’s US$1.6 billion valuation and 275% year-over-year share price surge.

At Guayabales, Collective has just confirmed a high-grade silver discovery at Target X: 12.85 meters at 503 g/t AgEq, a greenfield zone with zero prior exploration. Sussman calls the find “a game-changer,” with follow-up drilling already mobilized. Meanwhile, the flagship Apollo project is heading toward a first resource estimate within 12 months, a pre-feasibility study, and a full production launch by 2030.

Collective’s drill campaign is one of the most aggressive in the sector: 70,000 meters, 10 rigs, and $71 million in cash. With new porphyry targets also emerging at San Antonio, this is one of the most ambitious exploration stories in the Americas—and it’s just getting started.
