SOMA GOLD EXTENDS COPPER SOIL ANOMALY BY 2.5 KM, BRINGING THE TOTAL STRIKE TO 4.5KM

 Soma Gold Corp. (TSXV: SOMA,OTC:SMAGF) (WKN: A2P4DU) (OTC: SMAGF) (the “Firm” or “Soma”) is happy to offer an replace on the continued soil sampling program at its Psyche 2 goal space inside the Machuca Undertaking in Antioquia, Colombia (Determine 1). Psyche 2 was initially recognized via high-grade stream sediment samples and the presence of casual, small-scale mines (see information launch dated October 24, 2024). The Firm has since expanded the soil sampling program northward alongside a distinguished, linear, north-south-trending magnetic excessive that coincides with a just lately recognized copper-in-soil anomaly (see information launch dated Could 6, 2025). This launch presents outcomes from an extra 510 soil samples. 

Soil Sampling

An extra 510 samples, bringing the entire to 1,394, had been collected to increase the Psyche 2 soil grid accomplished in early 2025. The samples had been collected at 50 m intervals alongside strains spaced 200 m aside, overlaying all the strike extent of a north-south trending magnetic anomaly. Fireplace assay outcomes and multi-element geochemistry have been obtained for 1,291 samples, with multi-element outcomes pending for the remaining 103. The beforehand found excessive copper-in-soil values prolonged over all the size of the magnetic anomaly, including 2.5 km of strike size to the copper anomaly for a complete strike size of roughly 4.5 km (Determine 2). The typical width of the anomaly is 325 m.

Copper concentrations vary from 2.5 ppm to 795 ppm. The 97.5^th percentile values vary from 336 ppm to 795 ppm, whereas the 95^th and 90^th percentile values are 291 ppm and 212 ppm, respectively. Desk 1 presents the 95^th percentile copper values and highlights a relationship between weakly anomalous gold and zinc values. Extremely anomalous gold and zinc soil samples happen in clusters alongside the pattern of the magnetic anomaly.

Gold concentrations within the soil samples vary from <5 ppb to 7,605 ppb (i.e., 7.6 g/t Au). The 97.5^th percentile values, starting from 90 ppb to 7,605 ppb, are thought-about strongly anomalous. The 95^th and 90^th percentile gold values are 55 ppb and 37 ppb, respectively. The 97.5^th percentile values generally correlate spatially with recognized high-grade quartz veins in floor outcrop or casual mines and are interpreted to mirror the presence of gold-bearing quartz veins. Decrease, but nonetheless elevated, gold-in-soil values alongside the strike of the recognized quartz veins are interpreted as proof of the continuity of those gold-bearing buildings. Desk 2 presents the 97.5^th percentile soil pattern outcomes throughout the grid.

Chris Buchanan, Soma’s Vice President of Exploration, said, “Discovering the continuation of the copper anomaly to the north of the Rio Pocune is a vital growth for the Psyche 2 goal. Our workforce has been mapping and prospecting to find out the geological nature of this vital soil anomaly. We’re trying ahead to initiating the maiden diamond drill program additional to research the underlying geology of the soil anomaly.”

Determine 2 shows the copper-in-soil values superimposed on the primary vertical by-product map of the just lately flown magnetic survey (see information launch dated February 6, 2025). The 95^th percentile copper values are clustered alongside the western fringe of the soil grid, forming a north-south trending anomaly with a strike size of roughly 4.5 kilometres. This anomaly is positioned close to the Otú Fault and is interpreted to be managed by related higher-order buildings. The anomalous copper samples additionally coincide with a distinguished magnetic excessive. The reason for the magnetic excessive is at the moment unknown, and geological mapping is underway alongside all the size of the anomaly to find out the character of the underlying bedrock. Nonetheless, mapping is hampered by poor publicity on account of dense vegetation and thick saprolite cowl.

Determine 3 shows the gold-in-soil values superimposed on the primary vertical by-product map of the magnetic survey. Strong and dashed crimson strains point out the mapped and interpreted vein traces within the space. All recognized casual mines coincide with gold-in-soil anomalies. The strike size of those gold anomalies and related quartz veins ranges from 300 to 1,000 meters. These findings are thought-about vital and warrant follow-up prospecting, infill soil sampling, and drilling close to the casual mines.

Determine 4 presents the zinc (Zn) values, which type a definite pattern that’s coincident with the copper and gold anomalies alongside the western fringe of the soil grid. Figures 5 and 6 show the anomalous values for nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co), that are additionally coincident with the Cu and Zn anomalies alongside the magnetic excessive. Further components generally used as indicators of gold mineralization programs are additionally current within the space, forming distinct tendencies related to gold anomalies. On the japanese aspect of the soil grid, a number of components are strongly anomalous, together with arsenic (As), molybdenum (Mo), mercury (Hg), and antimony (Sb) (see figures 7-10).  Probably the most anomalous samples are typically coincident with the gold anomalies and recognized high-grade gold-bearing quartz veins.

Soil sampling has efficiently recognized quite a few gold anomalies on the Psyche 2 goal. The extent and tenor of the copper anomaly characterize an thrilling new exploration goal within the area.  A drilling marketing campaign in late 2025 will decide the geology of the host rocks and the fashion of potential copper mineralization. The copper anomaly stays open to the north and south alongside parts of the magnetic excessive that haven’t but been soil sampled. Soma will proceed increasing the soil grid to outline the complete extent of the copper and gold anomalies. Drilling operations may even proceed on the high-grade gold targets close to the Colossa Mine and the Aurum-Orion-Eros space whereas the Firm awaits approval of drilling permits for the copper anomaly.

The Psyche 2 gold goal space is a 2.4 km lengthy, northeast-southwest-striking pattern of mineralized quartz veins, with a width of roughly 300-400 m. The goal is positioned east of the Otú Fault, in a area predominantly underlain by undifferentiated upper-greenschist-facies metasedimentary rocks (Determine 2). The rocks are strongly folded, exhibiting north-south-trending axial planes and reasonably northeast-plunging fold axes. Nonetheless, the fold system is barely uncovered in a number of small creek outcrops and stays poorly constrained. The far japanese fringe of the property can be poorly uncovered, however underlain by a powerful regional magnetic signature just like the magnetic signature of the Segovia Batholith and is interpreted to demarcate the western contact of the batholith on this space.

In contrast to different quartz veins and casual mines alongside the Otú Fault, these veins have a mean orientation of 240^o/43^o, forming a excessive angle relative to the northerly trending Otú Fault and are much like the orientation of Aris Mining’s (TSX:ARIS) El Silencio vein in Segovia. The quartz vein orientation additionally aligns with a regional lineament pattern, suggesting the potential for added quartz vein-bearing buildings alongside the identical pattern. Mapping inside casual mines has recognized two further units of mineralized quartz vein orientations: east-northeast- and north-striking. Generally, the veins dip reasonably to the northwest.

The Otú fault system (“Otú Fault”) extends for over 100 km, from Segovia-Remedios within the south to Nechi within the north, the place it’s buried beneath youthful sedimentary overlap sequences. Soma’s tenements now cowl greater than 56 km of this strike size. Excessive-grade gold deposits have been recognized alongside all the size of the Otú Fault, hosted in brittle-ductile to brittle quartz veins fashioned throughout later deformation phases. All through the district, quartz veins present orientation patterns according to formation in conjugate faults related to brittle faulting alongside the Otú Fault. Notable mines alongside this pattern embrace Segovia-Remedios, La Aurora, El Limon, Le Ye, Los Mangos, and Cordero. The Machuca Property is positioned alongside a key phase of this regional fault system and reveals quite a few indicators of high-grade gold mineralization.

Soil sampling and QA/QC protocols

Soil samples are collected on a predetermined grid, sometimes with 50m spacing alongside 200 m-spaced strains. The sampler digs a pit to reveal the C-horizon of the native soil profile. A 2.0 kg pattern is extracted from the C-horizon and submitted to the laboratory for evaluation. Further info concerning the stratigraphy of the soil profile, depth of the C-horizon, and an outline of the sampled materials is recorded by the sampler.

All soil samples for Soma Gold are submitted to ActLabs Medellin for pattern preparation and evaluation. All samples are dried and sieved previous to evaluation on the lab. A 50-gram aliquot fireplace assay with an atomic absorption end determines gold and silver values. An aqua regia digestion and ICP-MS evaluation is used to find out the focus of a 36-element bundle.

QA/QC is monitored utilizing subject duplicates, clean materials, and licensed commonplace materials (CRM).  The CRM is bought from OREAS.
