## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**Collective Mining Expands the Ramp Zone by Drilling its Highest-Grade, Northeasternmost and Deepest Intercept Ever: 58.10 Metres at 21.33 g/t Gold**

***Hole APC143-D3, which intersected the Ramp Zone at up to 1,410 metres below surface expands the mineralized envelope to 300 metres of strike by 100 metres in width by 310 metres vertically - and remains open in all directions***

TORONTO, Jan. 27, 2026 /CNW/ - **Collective Mining Ltd.** (NYSE: CNL) (TSX: CNL) **("Collective" or the "Company")** is pleased to announce assay results for two directional diamond drill holes designed to continue expanding the high-grade Ramp Zone ("Ramp") along strike northwards and at depth. The Ramp Zone is located at the base of the Apollo system ("Apollo") starting at approximately 1,000 MASL (metres above sea level) and ideally positioned at the same elevation as an envisioned underground access tunnel in a potential future mining operation.

Apollo is a large, Partially Reduced Intrusion Related System enriched in gold, silver, copper and tungsten. Drilling to date at Apollo has outlined continuous mineralization from surface to, **as of today, more than 1,410 vertical metres.** Apollo anchors the Company's flagship Guayabales Project - a district-scale, multi-target and infrastructure-rich project in Caldas, Colombia.

Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman commented: "The Apollo system continues to showcase its extraordinary potential with impressive high-grade mineralization extending over 1.4 kilometres from surface. **Today's results, featuring a spectacular 27.00 metres at 43.13 g/t gold within a broader 58.10 metres at 21.33 g/t gold**, represent the highest-grade and deepest intercept drilled to date at Apollo - a compelling indicator of the vast untapped upside yet to be uncovered.

We are invigorated to accelerate Apollo's transformation into a producing mine as it holds immense promise to become Colombia's next major and large-scale mining project, yielding gold alongside the critical mineral byproducts copper, tungsten and silver. Situated in a well-established, infrastructure-rich, and mining-friendly region, we envision this future mining operation as a foundation for nurturing the next generation of Colombian talent in a modern, safe and environmentally sustainable environment, while supplying the nation with vital minerals to bolster its security and economy and satisfy the West's insatiable demand for essential resources."

**Key Highlights**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **High-Grade Intercept at the Ramp Zone** with hole APC143-D3
intersecting:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **27.00 metres @ 43.13 g/t gold and 25 g/t silver within a broader mineralized zone of 58.10 metres @ 21.33 g/t gold and 13 g/t silver** from 187.80 metres down deflection (1,410 metres below
surface).

This hole represents the highest-grade intercept and **largest grade accumulation at 1,239 g/t Au (gram x metres) drilled to date in the Ramp Zone.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Significant Expansion of the Ramp Zone**: APC143-D3
is the deepest and northeasternmost hole drilled to date, expanding the dimensions to 300 metres along strike by 100 metres width and
310 metres vertically (previously 275 metres strike by 300 metres vertical). The zone remains open in all directions for further growth.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **New Model for the Ramp Zone Emerges:** Ramp zone style
of mineralization is located on the margins of the breccia body drilling to date has focused solely along the southeast margin. Significant
potential remains to discover additional Ramp Zone style high-grade mineralization at 1,000 MASL and deeper around the entire outer margin
of the funnel-shaped Apollo breccia body. At 750 MASL, the breccia's circumference is approximately 1.6 kilometres. To date, drilling
has outlined a 300-metre by 100-metre area along the southeast margin, featuring multiple broad high-grade intercepts of up to 75 metres
in length, leaving more than 1.2 kilometres of untested circumference for future drill testing (see Figure 2)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Aggressive Drilling Ramp-Up**: Three deep-capacity diamond
rigs are currently operating at the Ramp Zone, with two additional deep-capacity rigs anticipated to arrive on site in Q1 2026.

To date, Collective has completed **166,500 metres** of diamond drilling across the Guayabales and San Antonio projects, including **109,500 metres** at the flagship Apollo system.

With **US$135 million** in cash (as of December 1, 2025), the Company is fully funded for its planned **2026 program**, which envisions up to **100,000 metres** of additional drilling. Up to fourteen rigs are anticipated to be operating across both projects before the end of Q1, 2026, with numerous high-priority holes pending assay results.

**Details (see Table 1-2 and Figures 1-6)**

APC143-D3 was drilled as a wedge hole from mother hole APC-143D from Pad 19 in a southerly direction and successfully extended the Ramp Zone along strike and to depth with assays results as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **58.10 metres @ 21.33 g/t gold, 13 g/t silver from 187.80 metres down deflection including 27.00 metres @ 43.13 g/t gold, 25 g/t silver from 187.80 metres down deflection** 

APC140-D4 was drilled as a directional hole from mother hole APC-140D from Pad 29 to the southwest and was planned to test the center of the breccia body for Ramp Zone style mineralization. Although finding high grade mineralization in the center of the breccia was deemed a low probability outcome by the Company, sporadic mineralization was encountered with assays results as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **15.00 metres @ 5.00 g/t gold, 10 g/t silver from 107.00 metres down deflection at 1,100 MASL interpreted as the transition to Ramp Zone** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **3.65 metres @ 4.91 g/t gold, 6 g/t silver from 547.35 metres down deflection** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **3.35 metres @ 3.51 g/t gold from 648.55 metres down deflection** 

The Ramp Zone, which commences at approximately 1,000 MASL, is classified as a reduced intrusion-related gold system with similarities, in terms of mineralogy, to the nearby Marmato Deeps deposit, owned by Aris Mining. Located just 1.75 kilometres apart, both systems begin at the same elevation and the gold-and-silver-bearing sulphide assemblages in the Ramp Zone closely resemble those at Marmato Deeps. Mineralization occurs with pyrite and pyrrhotite, accompanied by minor bismuth, tellurium, and locally arsenopyrite bearing sulphides, hosted in veinlet stockworks, cracks and miarolitic cavities of the breccia body. Alteration is dominated by muscovite, albite and sericite.

A key distinguishing feature at Ramp is the significantly higher gold grades encountered to date compared to Marmato Deeps. The Company attributes this superior grade profile primarily to the host rock: mineralization at the Ramp Zone is emplaced within a porous crackle breccia matrix, which provides greater permeability for metal-bearing fluids than the precursor porphyry host rock at Marmato Deeps.

Cautionary Note to Readers:

Although Apollo (including the Ramp Zone) and the Marmato Lower Mine (also referred to as the Bulk Mining Zone or formerly as Marmato Deeps) share certain geological characteristics, information regarding the Marmato Lower Mine is not necessarily indicative of mineralization in the Ramp Zone. Information regarding the Marmato Lower Mine has not been independently verified by the Company or its Qualified Person in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). All information presented herein regarding the Marmato Lower Mine is derived from the NI 43-101 compliant technical report titled "Technical Report for the Marmato Gold Mine, Caldas Department, Colombia, PFS of the Lower Mine Expansion Project," with an effective date of June 30, 2022 (filed November 23, 2022).

**About Collective Mining Ltd.**

To see our latest corporate presentation and related information, please visit www.collectivemining.com.

Founded by the team that developed and sold Continental Gold Inc. to Zijin Mining for approximately $2 billion in enterprise value, Collective is a gold, silver, copper and tungsten exploration company with projects in Caldas, Colombia. The Company's two projects are located directly within an established mining camp with ten fully permitted and operating mines.

The Company's flagship project, Guayabales, is anchored by the Apollo system, which hosts the large-scale, bulk-tonnage and high-grade gold-silver-copper-tungsten Apollo system. The Company's objectives at the Guayabales Project are to expand the newly discovered high-grade Ramp Zone along strike and to depth and drill a series of greenfield generated targets on the property.

Additionally, the Company has launched its largest drilling campaign in history at its optioned San Antonio Project (100% potential interest) as it hunts for new discoveries and looks to expand upon the newly discovered porphyry system at the Pound target. The San Antonio Project is located between two to five kilometers east-northeast of the Guayabales Project and could potentially share infrastructure given their proximity to each other.

Management, insiders, a strategic investor and close family and friends own 45.3% of the outstanding shares of the Company and as a result, are fully aligned with shareholders. The Company is listed on both the NYSE American and TSX under the trading symbol "CNL".

Mr. Reading has an MSc in Economic Geology and is a Fellow of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining and of the Society of Economic Geology (SEG).

**Technical Information**

Samples were cut by Company personnel at Collective Mining's core facility in Caldas, Colombia. Diamond drill core was sawed and then sampled in maximum 2 metres intervals, stopping at geological boundaries. Drill hole core diameter is a mix of PQ, HQ and NQ depending on the depth of the drill hole.

Core samples have been prepared and analyzed at ALS laboratory facilities in Medellin, Colombia and Lima, Peru for copper, gold and silver assays, and multi-element ICP. ALS is an accredited laboratory which is independent of the Company. Gold assays are obtained by fire assay fusion with AAS finish on a 50g sample (Au-AA24). Any samples returning > 10 g/t were then reanalyzed by fire assay with gravimetric finish on a 50g sample (Au-GRA22). Copper and silver were assayed by inductively Coupled Plasma - Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) following a 4-acid digestion. Samples were also analyzed for a suite of 48 elements with ME-MS61 plus mercury and a sequential copper leach analysis was completed on each sample with copper greater than 10,000 parts per million. Blanks, duplicates, and certified reference standards are inserted into the sample stream to monitor laboratory performance. Crush rejects and pulps are kept and stored in a secured storage facility for future assay verification. No capping has been applied to sample composites. The Company utilizes a rigorous, industry-standard QA/QC program.
