Soma Gold Corp. (TSX-V: SOMA) (WKN: A2P4DU) (OTC: SMAGF) is pleased to announce that the Company produced 27,460 ounces of AuEq and sold 27,668 AuEq ounces during 2024. This represents 92.4% of the 2024 budgeted production at the Cordero Mine.

Additionally, the Company announces that it is in advanced discussions to purchase up to 200 TPD of mineralized rock mined at the Zancudo Mine, 100% owned by Denarius Metals Corp. (Cboe CA: DMET) (OTCQX: DNRSF). This arrangement will begin generating production and cash flow at the Company’s El Limon Mill, located in Zaragoza, in the Department of Antioquia. The El Limon Mill, which has a capacity of 225 TPD and is permitted for up to 400 TPD, is located approximately 125 km from the Zancudo Mine on a paved highway. Work on restarting the El Limon Mill, which has been on care and maintenance since 2020, has already begun, with re-commissioning expected in the coming months.

Geoff Hampson, President and CEO of Soma, states, “We are pleased to have achieved 92.4% of our projected 2024 production at the Cordero Mine despite several unplanned mechanical shutdowns and a blockade by the local community, which negatively affected production. We expected the El Limon Mill to contribute ounces in 2024, but the restart was held up due to delays in the granting of the necessary permits to commence mining at the Aurora Mine in Machuca. “Hampson further states, “There are a lot of synergies between Soma and Denarius that make sense for both Companies to fully utilize El Limon’s capacity while Soma ramps up production at the Company’s mines and Denarius commissions their new mill at Zancudo. Further updates will be forthcoming once the formal agreement between the Companies is finalized.”
