Collective Mining is partnering with local authorities and the Guamal Afro-Colombian community in Supía, Caldas, to develop a 600-kilowatt solar power project. The initiative, which is part of Colombia’s "Energy Communities" framework, will provide renewable electricity to approximately 2,000 residents across 420 households.

The project is designed to reduce local electricity costs and provide a mechanism for the community to earn revenue from the sale of surplus energy.

“This project represents an important development opportunity for our community and has the potential to make a meaningful difference for our families and future generations. We are proud that Guamal is participating in this initiative, which demonstrates what can be achieved when communities, public institutions and the private sector work together.”

— Carlos Andres Moreno, President of the Guamal Afro-Colombian Community Council

“The Guamal community has a strong cultural identity, a well-organized structure and a clear vision for its future. Collective is committed to working alongside communities and institutional partners on practical initiatives that support regional development and create meaningful social, economic and environmental benefits.”

— Omar Ossma, President of Collective Mining

Collective is currently trading at $18.05, up 4.34% during the session.

Looking ahead, the company is scheduled to begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on 11 August 2026. Additionally, construction of an exploration adit at the Guayabales project is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2026.
