AI summary

What happened and why it matters

Collective Mining reports progress at the Guayabales project in Colombia, with a 1.8-km access road completed and portal/box-cut work set to begin. Adit construction is on track for Q4-2026, followed by underground drilling at Trap East in Q1-2027 to evaluate Trap, Ramp Zone and Plutus, potentially expanding the mineralized system and future milling options.

Adit construction start targeted for Q4-2026; permits already in hand.
Underground drilling at Trap East begins Q1-2027, expanding testable zones.
Road upgrade improves logistics and proximity to Pan American Highway.
Potential multi-front development could broaden mill-feed and capex planning.
