Collective Mining (CNL) said Tuesday that it has completed a 1.8-kilometer access road connecting to the proposed exploration adit portal at its Guayabales project in Colombia.

Platform preparation and box-cut work are starting immediately to support adit construction in Q4, with underground exploration drilling at the Trap East target set to begin in Q1 of next year, the company said.

Collective Mining plans to drill the Trap Main System in H2 of next year before testing additional targets in 2028, the company said.
