Interesting, very interesting:
Discovery-geared Collective pries more porphyry secrets from ...
The Guayabales project in Colombia, operated by Collective Mining, is a major high-grade copper-gold-silver ‘porphyry cluster’ in the Middle Cauca belt. It features multiple interconnected targets—including Apollo, Olympus, Trap, and Box—representing a large, multiphase porphyry-breccia system. The area shows intense mineralization and remains open at depth.
Key Targets and Characteristics
Apollo Target: A significant, high-grade gold-copper-silver system found within a breccia-porphyry complex.
Olympus Target: A three-by-four-kilometre area hosting at least eight porphyry-related targets, where drilling has revealed significant, shallow mineralization.
Trap Target: A 1.75-kilometre-long structural corridor with overprinting porphyry and carbonate base metal (CBM) veins.
Box Target: A large target area with brecciated porphyry outcrops, showing characteristics of the upper levels of a porphyry system.
Regional Importance
The project sits adjacent to the Aris Mining Marmato mine, confirming the area's high prospectivity. The Guayabales cluster is part of a broader mining district characterized by deep-seated, extensive porphyry systems.
Mineralization Type: Porphyry-breccia with overprinting CBM veins.
Metal Endowment: Gold, Silver, Copper.
Status: Active exploration and drilling, with multiple discoveries made since 2021
