Collective Mining (TSX:CNL) has put fresh drill results at the Apollo deposit in Colombia back in focus, with new assays from both the Shallow Halo and Ramp zones extending mineralized areas.
The fresh Apollo assays arrive after a choppier stretch for Collective Mining on the market, with the share price down 13.66% over the past month and 17.94% year to date, but supported by a 1 year total shareholder return of 1.09% and a very large 5 year total shareholder return. This suggests momentum has been built over the longer term rather than in recent weeks.
