“It was a very busy third quarter for Soma.” Javier Cordova, Soma’s CEO, states. “A new collective bargaining agreement was reached with our unionized employees on September 29th after a two-week strike. Our people are the heart of our operation, and we are pleased to have our many dedicated employees back working towards our mutual success. Despite losing half a month of production, we also achieved the Company’s second-highest gold production to date.” He further states, “Cordero development work continues, aided by further deliveries of the Company’s new underground equipment from Sandvik. The final pieces of equipment were just delivered and are being integrated into our operations. It will allow us to ramp up development and production at the higher-grade Cordero mine and continue to make meaningful increases to our gold production in future quarters.”
