## Minestarters Atlas summary

Collective Mining reported high-grade drill results from the Apollo system in Colombia. Hole APC150-D1 returned 83.75 metres at 21.14 g/t gold, expanding the system's footprint.

Reasoning: The intercept of 83.75m at 21.14 g/t Au is exceptional for the project and significantly expands the known mineralized envelope.

- Positive factor: exceptional grade

- Positive factor: significant width

- Positive factor: expansion of mineralized footprint

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm.

Why it applies: 21.14 g/t gold over 83.75m is exceptionally high grade for the deposit type.

Evidence · text

> returning 83.75 metres at 21.14 g/t gold

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The hole is described as expanding the footprint of the system.

Evidence · text

> expanding the footprint of the system

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
