Seven companies cleared the screen today, with gold doing most of the work. Collective Mining's Apollo Ramp Zone in Colombia delivered the headline: 154.3 m of 12.66 g/t AuEq, including a 4.75 m core grading 182 g/t Au, while Canagold's New Polaris returned high-grade gold with antimony credit and RPX Gold's Wawa program stacked up shallow, open-pit-style intercepts. Osisko Metals' Gaspé is the lone copper name, bulk-tonnage grades at scale. Coverage reflects the releases screened this morning; not every release in the window was reviewed.
⚑ Hole of the Day
▾ Deep · From 374.5m Extension · Step-out Colombia · Stable Reduced intrusion-related Au
Collective Mining CNL TSX / Nasdaq · C$1.5B (approx.) Guayabales (Apollo, Ramp Zone), Colombia APC174-D4: 154.3m of 12.44 g/t Au* from 374.5m incl. 30.45m of 38.47 g/t Au from 498.35m |
GT 1,919.5 g/t·m ExceptionalAuEq·m 1,953.4 AuEq as reported GT/MCap 1.28× (Au) |
A step-out that ended in mineralization: 154.3 m at 12.44 g/t Au (12.66 g/t AuEq), with a 30.45 m core at 39.01 g/t AuEq and a 4.75 m bonanza at 182 g/t Au, in the Apollo Ramp Zone. That is a bulk-tonnage Au-Ag-Cu-W breccia system carrying a high-grade vein and stockwork engine, and the hole sits deep (from 374.5 m), so this is an underground-scale story rather than an open-pit one. At roughly 1.28× GT/MCap on an approximate C$1.5B cap it is the largest absolute GT on today's sheet by an order of magnitude, and it ranks #3 of about 1,370 gold results over the past 30 days. Visible gold in three further holes has assays pending, which is the next catalyst; drilled width is not true width (company estimates 60-100% of core length). Colombia is a stable-enough jurisdiction for this screen, with no flag.

GT/MCap Spotlight — Top 5
RPX Gold's SD-26-721 tops the ratio on a small cap, ahead of Canagold's two high-grade holes; all five lead names are gold (Canagold on Au basis, Sb credit excluded from the ratio). Market caps are approximate, so treat ratios as indicative.
