TORONTO, May 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Collective Mining Ltd. (formerly POCML 5 Inc.) ("Collective") is pleased to announce that its common shares will commence trading at the market open today on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") under the ticker symbol "CNL".

“The management team and I are very excited to return to Colombia, a country with untapped mineral potential and backed by supportive governments and communities,” commented Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman of Collective. “Upon completing the sale of Continental Gold to Zijin Mining, our team was eager to re-apply our skillsets towards discovering another world-class deposit and advancing it to production. Unlike Continental Gold, where we specifically targeted high-grade gold systems, Collective has decided to focus on bulk tonnage porphyry related systems. To date, we have options to acquire 100% interests in two projects in the mining-friendly department of Caldas. Both our San Antonio and Guayabales projects surround the world famous Marmato mine. The belt surrounding the Marmato mine has never before been consolidated under one company until now. With the funds from our $15 million subscription receipt financing now released from escrow, we are embarking on an aggressive exploration program and are excited to unlock the potential of our projects over the next 12 months.”

“This is great news to have a new Colombian focused company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. This is yet another endorsement of investors’ trust in the Colombian mining sector. We are committed to both strengthening our mineral exploration industry and diversifying our production to more types of metals. We welcome foreign investments that support the sustainability of the Colombian mining sector,” stated Diego Mesa, the Colombian Minister of Mines and Energy.

The listing of the common shares of Collective follows the completion of its Qualifying Transaction, as such term is defined under the policies of the TSXV, on May 20, 2021.

Wherever possible, words such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “expect”, “plan”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict” or “potential” or the negative or other variations of these words, or similar words or phrases, have been used to identify these forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements involve significant risk, uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results discussed or implied in the forward-looking statements. These factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements. Such factors, among other things, include: the expected benefits to Collective relating to the exploration proposed to be conducted on its properties; failure to identify any additional mineral resources or significant mineralization; the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results; uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, including to fund any exploration programs on the Company’s properties, if required; fluctuations in general macroeconomic conditions; fluctuations in securities markets; fluctuations in spot and forward prices of gold, silver, base metals or certain other commodities; fluctuations in currency markets (such as the Canadian dollar to United States dollar or Colombian peso exchange rate); change in national and local government, legislation, taxation, controls, regulations and political or economic developments; risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining (including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations pressures, cave-ins and flooding); inability to obtain adequate insurance to cover risks and hazards; the presence of laws and regulations that may impose restrictions on mining and mineral exploration; employee relations; relationships with and claims by local communities and indigenous populations; availability of increasing costs associated with mining inputs and labour; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development (including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses, permits and approvals from government authorities); the unlikelihood that properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines; geological factors; actual results of current and future exploration; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be evaluated; soil sampling results being preliminary in nature and are not conclusive evidence of the likelihood of a mineral deposit; title to properties; and ongoing uncertainties relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.
