Soma Gold Corp. has filed its first quarter financial statements and MD&A (management discussion and analysis) on SEDAR.

Highlights of the Quarter:

• Cordero Mine declares commercial production as of January 1, 2023 (see news release dated January 11, 2023).
• Sales of 6,448 gold equivalent ounces - the second-highest sales number in Soma's history.
• Revenue of $16.0 million, income from mine operations of $6.6 million and Net Income of $1.2 million all show significant improvements from the comparative quarter of 2022 (63%, 59% and 377% increases, respectively).
• Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $6.8 million compared to $3.7 million in Q1-2022.
• Total cash costs per ounce of gold sold of US$893 (1) compared to US$910 in Q1-2022.

Javier Cordova, Soma's President and CEO, states, "It is gratifying to deliver the performance we anticipated in our 2023 plan and guidance. We are well on track to completing the year at or above expectations. The team has outperformed on most metrics as we see the effects of self-performing mechanized mining. We are successfully transitioning from the 2022 challenges of managing the construction of the Cordero Mine and gold production to optimizing costs and recovery. During the balance of 2023, we will continue to ramp up gold production and further reduce the costs to produce those ounces."
