SOMA GOLD ANNOUNCES PRODUCTION AND DELIVERY FROM THE ESCONDIDA MINE IN COLOMBIA

Soma Gold Corp. has commenced shipments of mined material from the Escondida mine to El Bagre gold complex.

The Escondida mine resumed production following completion of the first phase of underground rehabilitation. The second portal also sustained damage during recent flooding, and repair work is continuing. Initial production has commenced at 10 tonnes per day and is expected to increase to 20 tpd in the second half of 2026. Further development work is required to reach the permitted capacity of 40 tpd, which is targeted for first quarter 2027. The mining licence may be increased further pending results of the previously announced drilling program, which is under way on the property. Completion of access road repairs has enabled haul trucks to reach the mine site, with mined material being delivered directly to El Bagre gold complex.

Geoff Hampson, Soma's chief executive officer, stated: "The commencement of deliveries from Escondida, combined with improved grades at the Cordero mine, will bring gold production at El Bagre to the levels we had been anticipating for Q1. Over the coming months, shipment volumes and frequency will increase further, and we expect deliveries from the Aurora mine to commence within weeks. Together, these developments position Soma for a strong second half of 2026. We continue to source feed material from Lemoncito Norte, El Limon, Diamantina, and other formalized and legal mining operations in the region."
