					<description><![CDATA[Collective Mining expands its Guayabales land position in Caldas after receiving new ANM mining titles following public hearings in Supía and Marmato....]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-section-id="78fody" data-start="105" data-end="185"><span role="text">Two completed titling processes expand the company&#8217;s Caldas land position</span></h2>
<p data-start="187" data-end="450">Collective Mining (NYSE American: CNL; TSX: CNL) has secured additional mining titles from Colombia’s <a href="https://www.anm.gov.co/">Agencia Nacional de Minería</a> (ANM), expanding its titled land position around the <a href="https://collectivemining.com/guayabales/7">Guayabales Project</a> in Caldas and adding new drill-ready exploration targets.</p>
<p data-start="452" data-end="713">The new titles were granted on July 10, 2026, following a public hearing held in the municipality of Supía on May 21, 2026. They follow earlier title grants issued by the ANM on April 10, 2026, after a public hearing in neighboring Marmato on February 17, 2026.</p>
<blockquote>
<p data-start="715" data-end="966">“With the completion of the titling processes in both municipalities, we have meaningfully consolidated our mineral title holdings and further improved continuity across the Guayabales Project.” &#8211; Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman, Collective Mining</p>
</blockquote>
<p data-start="968" data-end="1243">The completion of both multi-stage regulatory processes during the second quarter of 2026 gives Collective Mining a more consolidated concession position across its area of influence in Supía and Marmato and supports the company’s continued exploration strategy at Guayabales.</p>
<p data-start="1245" data-end="1499">The company said the newly granted titles strengthen its ability to advance exploration activities by securing additional prospective ground along structural trends believed to play an important role in controlling mineralization within the project area.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="14oxest" data-start="1501" data-end="1574"><span role="text">Expanded land position creates additional exploration flexibility</span></h3>
<p data-start="1576" data-end="1820">Collective Mining said the new titles are located within and adjacent to the existing Guayabales Project area, improving long-term flexibility for exploration planning, future infrastructure considerations, and district-scale target generation.</p>
<p data-start="1822" data-end="1997">The expanded footprint also provides access to additional drill-ready targets, including areas associated with the Trap target and other prospective zones across the property.</p>
<p data-start="1999" data-end="2246">“We are very pleased to see continued strong public support for Collective by local communities, as evidenced by the two successful and well-attended public hearings in Supía and Marmato,” said Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman of Collective Mining.</p>
<p data-start="2248" data-end="2490">The company added that it expects the larger titled land package to support future drilling and development decisions as it continues evaluating the project’s mineral potential.</p>

<p data-start="2821" data-end="2986">The latest title grants follow Collective Mining’s earlier efforts to secure control over the surface rights required for potential future development at Guayabales.</p>
<p data-start="2988" data-end="3118">In March 2026, the company completed land acquisitions covering the remaining surface rights needed for a future mining operation.</p>
<p data-start="3120" data-end="3288">The Guayabales Project is anchored by the Apollo system, where Collective has reported high-grade gold discoveries and continues an extensive diamond drilling campaign.</p>
<p data-start="3290" data-end="3453">The company has completed 184,000 meters of diamond drilling across the Guayabales and San Antonio projects, including 120,000 meters at the Apollo system.</p>
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
<p data-start="3455" data-end="3729">As of March 31, 2026, Collective reported $113.3 million in cash and said it was fully funded for its 2026 exploration program, which includes up to 100,000 meters of drilling. The company currently operates 13 diamond drill rigs across the Guayabales Project.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1fuf8zo" data-start="3731" data-end="3788"><span role="text">Collective Mining continues exploration in Caldas</span></h3>
<p data-start="3790" data-end="3945">Collective Mining was founded by the team behind Continental Gold, which was acquired by Zijin Mining for approximately $2 billion in enterprise value.</p>
<p data-start="3947" data-end="4135">The company explores for gold, silver, copper, and tungsten in Caldas, where its projects are located within an established mining district hosting ten fully permitted and operating mines.</p>
<p data-start="4137" data-end="4407">At Guayabales, Collective Mining is focused on expanding the high-grade Ramp Zone, testing the Northern Apollo Oxidized area, drilling the recently granted license covering the northwestern extension of the Trap target, and evaluating additional greenfield exploration targets.</p>
<p data-start="4409" data-end="4653">Collective Mining is listed on the NYSE American and the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol CNL. Management, insiders, a strategic investor, and close family and friends hold approximately 45.2% of the company’s outstanding shares.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Underground connection completed at Colombia's Marmato mine, keeping the expansion project on schedule for Q4 2026 production....]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Infrastructure Progress Advances Marmato 2026 Gold Production Goals</h2>
<p>Aris Mining (TSX: ARIS; NYSE: ARIS) confirmed the completion of an underground infrastructure connection at its Marmato gold mine in Colombia. The development involved connecting a new surface decline to the existing underground mining workings.</p>
<p>This cross-cut connection serves as a technical step for the ongoing expansion project, which includes the construction of a 5,000 tons-per-day carbon-in-pulp (CIP) plant. The company stated that the infrastructure is currently on schedule to support the initiation of gold production in the fourth quarter of 2026.</p>
<p>Neil Woodyer, Chair and CEO of Aris Mining, stated: &#8220;The on-schedule connection of the new surface decline to the existing underground development is a major milestone for Marmato and an important step in delivering our expansion plans.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Marmato expansion is part of a broader strategy intended to increase the company&#8217;s annual gold production. Aris Mining aims to achieve a combined output of approximately 500,000 ounces per year from its Segovia and Marmato operations. The Segovia mine previously expanded its operational capacity following the installation of a second mill in June 2025.</p>
<p>The company maintains a long-term production objective of approximately 1 million ounces of gold annually. This target incorporates potential production from the Toroparu gold project in Guyana, where a prefeasibility study is currently underway. Aris Mining expects a construction decision regarding the Toroparu project in early 2027.</p>
<p>Regarding its portfolio in Colombia, the company is finalizing environmental studies for the Soto Norte gold project. Aris Mining plans to submit these documents for the licensing process during the second quarter of 2026.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Segovia's gold grade jumped 32% year-over-year as Aris Mining's Colombia operations generated over $360 million USD in Q1 revenue....]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Higher grades at Segovia drive output and revenue gains</h2>
<p>Vancouver-based <a href="https://aris-mining.com/">Aris Mining Corporation</a> (<a href="https://www.tsx.com/">TSX</a>: ARIS; <a href="https://www.nyse.com/index">NYSE</a>: ARIS) reported preliminary first-quarter 2026 gold production of 74,300 ounces from its two underground mines in Colombia, representing a 6% increase over the fourth quarter of 2025 and a 36% increase compared to the same period a year earlier.</p>
<p>The company said it sold 74,800 ounces of gold during the quarter at an average realized price exceeding $4,860 USD per ounce, generating gold revenue of more than $360 million USD. That figure marks a 20% increase from Q4 2025 revenue of $301 million USD and more than double the $154 million USD reported in Q1 2025. The company reported a cash balance exceeding $470 million USD as of March 31, 2026, an increase of approximately $80 million USD from the end of the previous quarter.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We expect Q1 2026 gold revenue to exceed $360 million, a significant increase from $154 million in Q1 2025 and $301 million in Q4 2025, driven by higher gold prices and increased ounces sold.&#8221; — Neil Woodyer, Chair and CEO, Aris Mining Corporation</p></blockquote>
<p>The production gains were concentrated at Aris Mining&#8217;s <a href="https://aris-mining.com/operation/segovia/">Segovia operation</a> in the department of Antioquia, which produced 66,600 ounces during the quarter, up from 63,100 ounces in Q4 2025 and 47,500 ounces in Q1 2025. The year-over-year increase of 40% at Segovia was driven primarily by a notable improvement in ore grade. The average gold grade processed rose to 12.41 grams per ton from 9.37 grams per ton a year earlier, a 32% increase, while the volume of ore processed increased 5% to 175,000 tons. Recovery rates held at 95.3%, compared to 96.1% in both the prior quarter and Q1 2025.</p>
<p>The higher grades offset a decline in throughput compared to Q4 2025, when the mine processed 201,000 tons at an average grade of 10.10 grams per ton. Aris Mining completed installation of a second mill at Segovia in June 2025, increasing processing capacity by 50% to 3,000 tons per day, and the company has indicated that the ramp-up at the operation is continuing.</p>
<p>At the <a href="https://aris-mining.com/operation/marmato/">Marmato mine</a> in the department of Caldas, production totaled 7,800 ounces in Q1 2026, an increase from 6,700 ounces in Q4 2025 and 7,200 ounces in Q1 2025. Marmato processed 77,000 tons of ore at an average grade of 3.53 grams per ton during the quarter, compared to 75,000 tons at 3.12 grams per ton in Q4 2025. Recovery rates at Marmato declined slightly to 89.6% from 90.8% in the prior quarter.</p>

<h3>Growth Outlook</h3>
<p>Neil Woodyer, the company&#8217;s chair and CEO, said production growth in 2026 is expected to be weighted toward the second half of the year. The company is building a new bulk mine and carbon-in-pulp (CIP) processing plant at Marmato, with first gold expected in Q4 2026. At steady state, the expanded Marmato operation is expected to produce approximately 200,000 ounces per year.</p>
<p>Together, the Segovia and Marmato expansions are expected to increase Aris Mining&#8217;s annual gold production to approximately 500,000 ounces. The two mines produced a combined 257,000 ounces in 2025.</p>
<p>Beyond its operating mines, Aris Mining is advancing the <a href="https://aris-mining.com/operation/soto-norte/">Soto Norte gold project</a> in the department of Santander, Colombia, where environmental studies are being finalized for submission in Q2 2026 to initiate the licensing process. The company also holds the <a href="https://aris-mining.com/operation/toroparu/">Toroparu gold project</a> in Guyana, where a prefeasibility study is underway and a construction decision is expected in early 2027. These projects form part of Aris Mining&#8217;s longer-term objective of reaching approximately 1 million ounces of annual gold production, though that target includes estimates from a preliminary economic assessment for Toroparu that the company has cautioned are based on inferred mineral resources and are speculative in nature.</p>
<p>The company expects to report full Q1 2026 financial and operating results on or about May 6, 2026. The quarterly results contained in the April 7 announcement are preliminary and may differ from final figures.</p>
<p>Aris Mining is listed on the <a href="https://www.tsx.com/">Toronto Stock Exchange</a> and the <a href="https://www.nyse.com/index">New York Stock Exchange</a> under the ticker symbol ARIS. Company filings are available through <a href="https://www.sedarplus.ca/">SEDAR+</a> and the <a href="https://www.sec.gov/">US Securities and Exchange Commission</a>.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Aris Mining owns 2 1/2 gold mines in Colombia, with additional assets in Guyana and Canada....]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aris Mining Corporation (<a href="https://www.tsx.com/" target="_new" rel="noopener">TSX: ARIS</a>, <a href="https://www.nyse.com/" target="_new" rel="noopener">NYSE-A: ARMN</a>) has announced the completion of a $450 million offering of 8.0% Senior Notes due 2029. The company intends to use the proceeds to redeem its outstanding 6.875% Senior Notes due 2026, with the redemption scheduled for November 20, 2024. Additional proceeds will be allocated toward working capital and general corporate purposes.</p>
<p>According to Aris Mining CEO Neil Woodyer, the note offering was well received by investors, allowing the company to increase the issuance size to $450 million, with a final rate of 8.00%, below the anticipated range of 8.25% to 8.50%. “This financing strategy not only covers our existing $300 million notes but also extends our debt maturity to October 31, 2029, aligning with ongoing expansions at both Segovia and Marmato,” Woodyer said.</p>
<p>The new financing is part of Aris Mining’s broader debt management strategy as it seeks to improve its capital structure amid favorable market conditions for emerging markets and the gold sector. Aris Mining seeks to continue its growth trajectory with major investments at its Segovia and Marmato mining projects,both in Colombia, aimed at bolstering production capacity.</p>

This financial maneuver is part of the company’s strategy to manage its capital structure by refinancing higher-cost debt. The notes will be offered to qualified institutional buyers in the United States under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 and to non-U.S. investors under Regulation S. In Canada, the notes will be offered through a private placement using specific prospectus exemptions. The offering is not registered under the Securities Act, and no sale will be made in jurisdictions where it would be deemed unlawful.</p>
<h3>Company Overview and Recent Developments</h3>
<p>Aris Mining operates two gold-producing assets in Colombia, the Segovia Operations and the Marmato Upper Mine, which jointly produced 226,000 ounces of gold in 2023. As part of its growth strategy, Aris Mining is pursuing operational expansion with plans to achieve a production rate of approximately 500,000 ounces per year by the second half of 2026. The anticipated increase hinges on the Segovia mill expansion, scheduled for completion in Q1 2025, and the initial gold pour at the Marmato Lower Mine, expected in late 2025.</p>
<p>Aris Mining also holds a 51% stake in the Soto Norte joint venture, where feasibility studies for a scaled-back development plan are ongoing, with results anticipated by early 2025. In Guyana, the company is advancing its Toroparu project, which contains both gold and copper resources. Aris Mining’s broader growth strategy includes potential acquisitions and other development projects aimed at increasing operational scale and geographic diversification.</p>
<p>Aris Mining additionally supports formalizing traditional mining operations into structured partnerships. This approach, according to the company, facilitates safer and legally compliant mining practices, improving conditions for miners and mitigating environmental impacts.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Aris expects gold production to rise next quarter and finish the year at between 220,000 and 240,000 ounces....]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Canadian mining company Aris Mining Corporation (TSX: ARIS) (NYSE-A: ARMN) produced just over 50,000 ounces of gold in the first quarter of 2024, according to the firm&#8217;s latest operating results announcement.</p>
<p>“In line with our budget, our mines produced 50,768 ounces of gold in Q1,&#8221; said Neil Woodyer, CEO of Aris Mining, in the results announement. &#8220;Plant throughput was slightly reduced in Q1 because of planned maintenance at the Segovia processing facility and we achieved averaged processed gold grades of 9.4 g/t, consistent with our Segovia mine plan.</p>
<p>He added that the company expects gold production to rise next quarter, particularly as its Segovia mine advances, and reach between 220,000 and 240,000 ounces for all of 2024.</p>
<p>The top end of the range would outperform the 226,000 ounces of gold that the Vancouver-based company produced in 2023</p>
<p>&#8220;We are pleased with the progress of the expansion projects at the Segovia and Marmato mines,&#8221; said Woodyer. &#8220;Following completion of the expansions, Aris Mining is targeting 500,000 ounces of production in 2026.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Segovia expansion project calls for growing its processing capacity from 2,000 to 3,000 tonnes per day, with the eventual output projected to increase to more than 300,000 ounces per year.</p>
<p>&#8220;Geotechnical studies for the plant area have been finalized, engineering and design is well underway, and preparations for the new installations are progressing smoothly,&#8221; said the mining firm in a statement.</p>
<p>&#8220;At the Marmato Lower Mine expansion project, the access road to the new processing facility area is now complete and earthworks in the plant area will commence soon,&#8221; added Aris. &#8220;The contractor for the new portal and decline is fully mobilized and cutting of the portal face has commenced. Once complete, the Marmato Upper and Lower mines are expected to produce 162,000 ounces per year over a 20-year mine life.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A joint initiative launched last year between Collective Mining Ltd. (TSX: CNL) and Colombia&#8217;s National Training Service (SENA) has helped more than 280 women graduate from program courses and join the local labor force, the Canadian mining firm recently revealed.</p>
<p>The program, which was designed to strengthen the capacity of rural women from the towns of Marmato and Supía in the department of Caldas, provides educational training programs in a variety of professions, including community tourism and textile apparel design and management.</p>
<p>&#8220;We hope to continue with the training and improvement of human talent in the region and that these programs can continue to contribute to better opportunities in the labor market,&#8221; said Óscar Andrés Maldonado, director of SENA in Caldas.</p>
<p>&#8220;This agreement with Collective Mining contributes to the growth and development of the regional economy,&#8221; added Maldonado.</p>
<p>Omar Ossma, chief executive officer of Collective Mining, said that promoting local employment is a key pillar of the company&#8217;s development goals.</p>
<p>“Working in alliance with SENA on this initiative is proving to be a winning combination with the graduating students from Supía and Marmato being the main benefactors,&#8221; said Ossma. &#8220;As our Guayabales project advances, so too will our efforts to leave a positive lasting mark on the communities in which we operate.”</p>

					<description><![CDATA["The subject of mining is captured in the culture and the tradition that we have," says Supía Mayor Marco Antonio Londoño Zuluaga....]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Supía, a small municipality in Colombia, is emblematic of the good things that can happen when local leadership works together with responsible mining.</p>
<blockquote><p>Top photo: Supía Mayor Marco Antonio Londoño Zuluaga speaks during a recent walking tour of the town. (Photo credit: Loren Moss)</p></blockquote>
<p>Already a local tourism destination, the town of Supía, located in Colombia&#8217;s coffee-centric department of Caldas, has set its sights on becoming a national and international destination with its welcoming population, social inclusion, and easy access.</p>
<p>To achieve this goal, it is getting support from a partner that may surprise some, the Canadian gold-mining company <a href="https://www.collectivemining.com/">Collective Mining</a> (TSXV: CNL, OTCQX: CNLMF).</p>
<p>Finance Colombia Executive Editor Loren Moss recently traveled to Supía to take a walk through the town with Mayor Marco Antonio Londoño Zuluaga, and they shared the following conversation about the town&#8217;s development in recent years and ambitious aims to further showcase its culture.</p>
<div id="attachment_28048" style="width: 684px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-28048" class="wp-image-28048 size-large" src="https://www.financecolombia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/supia-674x450.jpeg" alt="Supía Mayor Marco Antonio Londoño Zuluaga in front of one of the many colorful street art pieces that can be seen throughout the town." width="674" height="450" srcset="https://www.financecolombia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/supia-674x450.jpeg 674w, https://www.financecolombia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/supia-719x480.jpeg 719w, https://www.financecolombia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/supia-374x250.jpeg 374w, https://www.financecolombia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/supia-768x513.jpeg 768w, https://www.financecolombia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/supia-524x350.jpeg 524w, https://www.financecolombia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/supia-200x134.jpeg 200w, https://www.financecolombia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/supia.jpeg 1399w" sizes="(max-width: 674px) 100vw, 674px" /><p id="caption-attachment-28048" class="wp-caption-text">Mayor Londoño in front of one of the many colorful street art displays that can be seen throughout the town. (Photo credit: Loren Moss)</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Loren Moss: Can you explain the project and the work that you have been doing here?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Mayor Londoño:</strong> There is a municipal site, which has around 14 roads that were in very bad shape — very damaged — because they had been built about 25 years ago. So, we introduced an investment project here of about 2.2 billion Colombian pesos, and we have already completed about a 25% of the construction to transform this entire sector and push for economic growth.</p>
<p>There are many commercial establishments, and this is a main throughway that connects the north side of town with the south side, where of course a lot of commercial components have developed.</p>
<p><strong>Loren Moss: So, the idea would be that it is more touristic and more people come to visit?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Mayor Londoño:</strong> That&#8217;s right. The north side of town is very active during the day, and the south side is very active after 4 or 5 pm, more or less until 10 or 11 pm. The north side is very saturated, so with these investing works what we want is to invigorate this area of the municipality, where there are parks that have just been renovated, such as Colón park, the park and neighborhood of Los Colores where we have some very large murals made by national artists who are known internationally. Here, in Los Colores, is where we want to promote urban art and history through large murals. This entire area comes alive with those works, with roads, with parks, and with cultural sites.</p>
<p><strong>Loren Moss: W are the economical driving forces here?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Mayor Londoño:</strong> There are different economical driving forces. One that is very important is the entire mining process that has developed in Marmato, for example. Marmato is a site that generates no less than 2,000 jobs for the <em>Supieños</em> [people from Supía] and their families.</p>
<p>In this sector, the commercial side is very strong, with the bakery, bean shop, restaurant, pharmacy, butcher&#8217;s shop, and cafes around the park. Also, for the town, clay mining is very important.</p>
<p>Everything related to glassmaking is very important in the municipality. Of course, there is agribusiness, too. There is avocado, coffee, sugarcane. It&#8217;s very important and it has a lot of value for the municipality. And with all these works, the commercial component — the entrepreneurial component — is also strong, very strong.</p>
<p><strong>Loren Moss: Tell me about your plans, your vision. What do you want to achieve during your term as mayor here?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Mayor Londoño:</strong> Really, we are already coming toward the conclusion — because we will be finishing in December 2023 — and we believe we are going to deliver a municipality with better urban infrastructure and rural infrastructure as well, with some parks and some sites of common interest that have transformed as well, mostly for the families.</p>
<p>There is commerce that has, directly and indirectly, benefitted from all these investments developed in the area, and that generates employment and economic dynamics.</p>
<p>I believe Supía is a developed municipality in the region. We are located in a place where the municipalities of Río Sucio, Marmato, Caramanta, and Anserma converge. We are a sort of axis. We connect the region, and that has resulted in that we are a strong goods and service provider in the region and, obviously, in the municipality as well.</p>
<div id="attachment_28046" style="width: 1170px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-28046" class="wp-image-28046 size-full" src="https://www.financecolombia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/supia-3-e1693881907359.jpeg" alt="" width="1160" height="680" srcset="https://www.financecolombia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/supia-3-e1693881907359.jpeg 1160w, https://www.financecolombia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/supia-3-e1693881907359-800x469.jpeg 800w, https://www.financecolombia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/supia-3-e1693881907359-417x244.jpeg 417w, https://www.financecolombia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/supia-3-e1693881907359-768x450.jpeg 768w, https://www.financecolombia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/supia-3-e1693881907359-597x350.jpeg 597w, https://www.financecolombia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/supia-3-e1693881907359-200x117.jpeg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px" /><p id="caption-attachment-28046" class="wp-caption-text">Mayor Londoño and colleagues talk about Supía during the walking tour.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Loren Moss: How have you seen the arrival of Collective Mining here as a new neighbor — not just as the mayor, but as a resident and someone from this region?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Mayor Londoño:</strong> I believe that, in Supía, we are very used to taking in developers interested in the region, right? Investors, traders, businessmen. But I believe the most important thing for a municipality when it receives investors and interested people interested — or new neighbors — I believe the most important thing is to be able to develop a coordinated, concerted process, especially a respectful one too.</p>
<p>With Collective Mining, we have found that it is a company that respects the communities, respects the authorities — a company that takes a chance on an industrial process, like mining, but also works hand in hand with the communities. It tries to provide support, development, and investments. And the processes, for example, are extensive processes in terms of capital, but they also need to be extensive in social investments.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what we have been accomplishing with Collective, with good attention to the communities, being good colleagues with the municipality administrations, with the communal action points, with all the different actors that converge in a territory.</p>
<p>If I had to define Collective Mining in a word, I would define them as a respectful company.</p>
<p><strong>Loren Moss: Are there other mining companies in the area? I know there&#8217;s also artisanal mining. What is the key so artisanal mining can exist side by side with commercial mining?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Mayor Londoño:</strong> I had the opportunity of working in a private company — in the electrical sector in the city of Medellín — and for me, the topic that Collective implements and that is implemented in the region, is not a new topic.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a topic I know about. I know how it works. I would think that one of the successes of a business like the kind Collective Mining desires — and does lead — in the region is that the company, and its shareholders, can grow and generate resources and value. Because of that, they will finally develop a project, and because of that, they have interest.</p>
<p>But I would think that, inasmuch as artisanal or ancestral miners achieve the same thing, at that moment is when you can generate a good and healthy coexistence. Do I make myself clear? If Collective Mining is a company that develops a mining process, and has a wide, sufficient knowledge from a geological viewpoint — and it has a good financial capacity to close these projects — why not, in an exercise of social and business responsibility, help the artisanal or ancestral miners achieve the same thing? The investors of a company like Collective can have as much value and as much wealth as investors and owners of small mining companies.</p>
<p>So, I think, it’s at that moment, when Collective or the larger companies help the smaller ones grow, be responsible for the environment, make good capital investments, and teach to invest resources properly.</p>
<p>Because, here in the region, we also see that there are communities and ancestral and artisanal miners that have good economical capacities as well. But sometimes they don&#8217;t invest those resources well. They make the wrong decisions, or they prioritize liquor and women instead of prioritizing their investments.</p>
<p><strong>Loren Moss: That is a key aspect. We have seen in other towns here in Colombia that they leave the artisanal mining uncontrolled, and without formalization it then becomes illegal mining. They have problems, as you said, with vices and with crime, even in small towns. This area here, I think, is very touristic, very healthy, with a lot of security. Of course, it&#8217;s very important to maintain that level of formality. </strong></p>
<p><strong>You also mentioned the environment. Because I have seen some success stories where commercial miners support the artisanal ones, saying, “Look, we can buy your gold and regulate it and do everything legal and keep everything in line. Or we can process your finds so you don&#8217;t need to touch chemicals ,like mercury or cyanide, we can help protect your health, your family, and the environment.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Mayor Londoño: </strong>That&#8217;s right. As you said, I believe those with the financial capacity to develop more modern processes — more rigorous ones with environmentally friendly techniques and socially friendly processes as well — they could teach and share that knowledge and those abilities to those who haven&#8217;t done it that way or those who don&#8217;t know better. It is also a cultural issue, isn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>There are people who traditionally or historically have developed a process without meeting certain standards. We can&#8217;t force them to go from one end to another. But we can help them a little bit to get to legal and more prosperous processes.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Loren Moss: Shifting directions a bit, what is the tourist offering of Supía? Why should people come and visit Supía?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Mayor Londoño: </strong>Supía’s main assets, I think are, first of all, the climate. Fortunately, we have a very, very valuable geographical location, which generates a municipality with an average temperature of 25° Celsius [77° Fahrenheit]. Normally, we have some pretty hot days here and that makes outings very attractive: being in the pool, the hostels, or vacation centers. We have several estates for rent where the owners have a vacation center with twelve cabins, and in each cabin you can have up to eight people. It has the only wave pool in the department.</p>
<p>We have been generating other attractions around the parks where you can have healthy recreation, share time with your family, have a nice coffee. The whole gastronomical culture has been very strong as well, both ancestral and traditional, from the region, as well as more specialized gastronomy that has been emerging in the municipality.</p>
<p>The other important asset Supía has is the geographical location. We are in a place where we can easily get to the departmental capital city, Manizales. We are about an hour away, 70 kilometers. From Pereira, where there is an international airport, we are at about 85 kilometers away, about an hour-and-a-half. From Medellín, once the Pacífico 3 highway is done, we will be able to get to in about two-and-a-half hours.</p>
<p>Our municipality also welcomes ethnic, indigenous, and Afro-descendant communities. A lot of tradition and culture has been generated around these communities: gastronomy, dance, music. There is a large amount of added value — or more like competitive advantages — that our municipality has. The people, too! Here we have, as we say, a culture that is very similar to the <em>paisa</em> culture, the Antioqueña culture.</p>
<p>We tend to people very well. It&#8217;s a municipality where there is relative tranquility, from the point of view of safety, and some strong institutions that aim to guarantee public services for safety, mobility, and different topics that are important for visitors.</p>
<p><strong>Loren Moss: How has mining overall played into the culture in Supía?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Mayor Londoño:</strong> They have played a part of the history of our municipality. In a mural over here, there are some traditional elements from our municipality: mountains, <em>panela</em> [cane sugar product], <em>colaciones</em> [sweets], the church, one of the many birds we have in the municipality. And this one specifically is a mural that recognizes mining, because mining for us has been part of our development, right? Mining for some families or some sectors, artisanal mining, with the metal washing pans, right?</p>
<p>Especially in these areas you can see at the front — in Sevilla, Bajo Sevilla, Alto Sevilla, over the Supía river — this type of mining, which they call bank mining, has been very developed. The subject of mining is captured in the culture and the tradition that we have.</p>
<p>Collective Mining has also participated. They have helped us make this a reality. They painted the front of some houses, too. This is a neighborhood, an area of the municipality, that was built in the 1990s more or less. There are around 1200 houses in this entire area, and in this specific neighborhood there are 90. It&#8217;s an area with different and heavy social conflicts. Yesterday, for example, we had a homicide in that area a little up there, about 100 meters from here, unfortunately.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what we want to change, isn&#8217;t it? So that tourists arrive — and foreigners — and we start making the economy of this area more dynamic so that it doesn&#8217;t depend, as it so often happens, on drug trafficking and such things. So that there are alternatives, like tourism. I don&#8217;t know if you are familiar with, in Medellín, in Comuna 13, with the graffiti tour there, but it&#8217;s a bit similar to our murals here.</p>
