SOMA GOLD'S COLOMBIAN SUBSIDIARY RENEWS CARBON NEUTRALITY CERTIFICATION FOR SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR

Soma Gold Corp.'s Colombian subsidiary, Operadora Minera SAS, has successfully renewed its carbon neutrality certification for the 2024 reporting period, marking the second consecutive year the company has achieved this distinction.

The certification, independently verified and issued by Bureau Veritas -- BVQI Colombia Ltd., confirms that Operadora has maintained carbon neutrality for Scope 1 (direct emissions) and Scope 4 (indirect emissions from products used by the organization) under the internationally recognized PAS 2060:2014 standard. Operadora remains the first and only mining company in Colombia to hold this certification.

2024 certification highlights:

• Total verified emissions of 1,367.40 tonnes CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) for the 2024 period;
• 100 per cent of emissions offset through verified carbon credits;
• Offsets sourced from the Galilea Ame forest conservation project, registered with the Biocarbon Registry;
• Independent third party verification completed by Bureau Veritas with reasonable assurance and a 5-per-cent materiality threshold.

Hector Melendez, Soma's Colombian country manager, stated: "Renewing our carbon neutrality certification demonstrates that our commitment to environmental leadership is not a one-time achievement but an ongoing operational standard. We continue to prove that responsible mining and meaningful climate action can go hand in hand."

The company's sustainability strategy continues to build on its foundation of 100 per cent renewable hydroelectric power, operational efficiencies and verified carbon offsets through REDD+ conservation projects in Colombia.
