Collective Mining intersects zinc-bearing mineralization in Apollo’s northern extension, Colombia

Published: Sep 2, 2026 10:46

Collective Mining reported that two deep directional holes at the Apollo system of its Guayabales project in Colombia identified a 100-metre northern extension to the breccia body and extended mineralization 170 metres vertically on Apollo’s northern side. Hole APC172-D2 intersected 141.40 metres grading 0.04% zinc from 924 metres below surface, including 38.00 metres at 0.06% zinc; APC172-D1 intersected 97.15 metres grading 0.02% zinc from 929 metres below surface.

Infill hole APC160-D3 returned 171.65 metres at 0.09% zinc from 575 metres below surface, including 44.90 metres at 0.17% zinc. Hole APC160-D4 returned 83.00 metres at 0.21% zinc from 528 metres below surface, including 15.30 metres at 0.44% zinc. Apollo remains an exploration-stage system, and assays for follow-up hole APC180-D1 are pending; reported true widths range from 60% to 100% of intercept lengths.

Australia Reviews Anti-Dumping Duties on Galvanized Steel from India, Malaysia, Vietnam Amid Zinc Concerns
On September 9, 2026, Australia initiated its second sunset review of anti-dumping measures on galvanized steel sheet from India, Malaysia and Vietnam, and separately launched a sunset review of countervailing measures on imports from India. The review covers July 2025-June 2026, with the final report expected by February 11, 2027. As galvanized steel is the largest end-use sector for zinc, the measures directly affect export costs and competitiveness, potentially impacting Australia’s domestic zinc demand and supply chain. Maintaining the duties would provide some protection for domestic steel and coating capacity, while termination could increase low-priced imports and affect regional zinc consumption. The final outcome remains subject to the authorities’ determination.
