UNION COMMENCES STRIKE AT SOMA GOLD'S COLOMBIAN OPERATIONS

Sintramienergetica, Seccional Zaragoza, the union representing the employees of Operadora Minera SAS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Soma Gold Corp., has elected to initiate strike action, effective immediately.

The company has been engaged in good faith negotiations and recently presented a comprehensive offer that included significant increases in wages, benefits, living allowances, additional days off and a meaningful signing bonus. Nevertheless, the union declined to respond to the latest proposal and initiated strike action this morning, resulting in the suspension of operations at both the Cordero mine and El Bagre gold complex.

Geoff Hampson, Soma's chief executive officer, stated: "Soma remains committed to continuing good faith negotiations and to reaching a fair and mutually beneficial resolution. Our most recent offer reflects our sincere intent to support our work force, improve conditions and ensure long-term stability for the operation and the community. While we are disappointed by the decision to strike, we respect the union's rights, and remain open and available to resume discussions at any time. We have proposed binding arbitration as a path forward, which was declined by the union."
