Soma Gold Corp. (TSXV: SOMA,OTC:SMAGF) (WKN: A2P4DU) (OTC: SMAGF) (the “Firm” or “Soma”) is happy to announce drill outcomes concentrating on the “Atenas” Zone of the Cordero Mine on the Bagre Mission in central Colombia (Determine 1). Thirty-eight diamond drill holes from underground and floor drill stations have been accomplished, totaling 6,737 m. The drill program was designed to supply infill drilling to help mining operations and take a look at the dip and strike extent of the Atenas Zone (see Figures 2 and three). The drilling outcomes outlined on this press launch lengthen the veins 60 m alongside strike and 160 m down dip.
The Cordero Deposit is hosted within the El Carmen inventory and consists of coarse-grained tonalite, diorite, and gabbroic phases. The quartz veins type as laminated fault-filled veins inside a sinistral brittle-ductile shear zone. They’re interpreted as conjugate shears inside a steeply dipping, north-striking regional shear zone. The controlling shear zone additionally hosts the Los Mangos Deposit, positioned 2.8 kilometres to the north. The quartz veins within the Cordero Deposit type a collection of en echelon segments that persistently step to the suitable alongside strike. The veins have been repeatedly reactivated and exhibit three distinct phases of improvement: early barren quartz veins, sphalerite + galena + pyrite + gold mineralization managed by microfractures, and brittle fracturing alongside the margins of the veins stuffed with quartz + pyrite + tellurides + gold. Gold mineralization happens through the latter two phases of vein improvement. The ultimate stage of brittle fracturing and micro-breccia is often related to excessive gold grades. Subsequently, the veins are crosscut by aphanitic mafic dykes and quite a few brittle faults. The brittle faults are usually dextral and offset the quartz veins from <1.0 m to tens of metres. The late brittle faults generally dismember the mineralized veins into brief strike-length segments, the continuity of which is tough to discern from drill information. The Cordero Deposit is informally divided into 5 predominant zones: Atenas, Cordero, Venus, Venus Hole, and Victoria Ramp zones.
Soma’s Vice President of Exploration, Chris Buchanan, said, “The Atenas Zone, positioned on the southern finish of the Cordero Deposit, has been a key focus of our drilling efforts to help mining operations by rising contained gold ounces and bettering confidence within the useful resource. The present drill outcomes have exceeded our expectations for the zone and returned among the highest-grade assays within the deposit. We’re excited to proceed exploring the high-grade shoot that’s growing within the higher parts of the vein set.”
Desk 1 presents the composited assay outcomes from thirty-six accomplished drill holes on the Atenas Zone. Assay outcomes are pending for 4 of the not too long ago accomplished drill holes. Assays vary from beneath detection to a most grade of 315.7 g/t Au. Twenty of the samples returned high-grade gold values better than 20 g/t. The drilling presently covers roughly 425 m of strike size between the southernmost drill intercept (BASDDH-23-031) and the northernmost intercept (ATEDDH-25-005). These drill holes lengthen the strike size of the Atenas zone by 60 m. LATDDH-25-001 and LCRDDH-25-010 lengthen the recognized dip of the vein system 85 m down dip from Degree 4.5, the present mining degree. The dip extent was additionally prolonged 75 m up dip, for a complete enhance of 160 m alongside the dip of the zone.

A protracted part of the drill intercepts is introduced in Determine 3. The high-grade intercepts delineate a number of segments of the vein system, separated by cross-cutting faults and late mafic dykes. Underground drilling is ongoing on this space to proceed exploring for vein segments down dip from the present mine workings.
BASDDH-25-036 was an exploration drill gap that was focused to check shallow, up dip extensions of the Atenas Zone. The opening intersected a high-grade quartz vein with an intercept of 45.2 g/t Au over 5.55 m, together with particular person samples of 25.7 g/t, 98 g/t, 101.1 g/t, and 315.7 g/t Au. The true width of this vein is 3.15 m. This vein section found on this drill gap is a part of a vein set within the higher portion of the zone and varieties a high-grade ore shoot with an obvious shallow, south-southeast plunge. Plate 1 presents footage of the high-grade intercept in BASDDH-25-036.
Along with supporting mining operations at Cordero Mine, Soma’s exploration crew continues to judge quite a few small-scale mines close to the El Limon Mine and Machuca Mission. Drilling is ongoing on the Colossa and Colossa 2 casual mines. Moreover, the Firm is engaged on drill permits for the copper anomaly on the Escondida Mine. Drilling at these targets is scheduled to start in December 2025. Soma additionally continues to work with native communities on the Machuca Property as a part of its ongoing ESG program.
The Otú fault system (“Otú Fault”) extends for over 100 km, from Aris’s Segovia-Remedios mines (TSX:ARIS) within the south to Nechi within the north, the place it’s buried beneath youthful sedimentary overlap sequences. Soma’s property holdings now cowl greater than 56 km of this regional construction. Excessive-grade gold mineralization happens alongside your complete strike size of the Otú Fault. The high-grade gold happens in brittle-ductile to brittle quartz veins fashioned through the later phases of deformation alongside the Otú Fault. Throughout the district, quartz veins usually show orientation patterns that recommend the veins type in conjugate faults related to brittle faulting on the Otú Fault. Notable deposits alongside this pattern embody Segovia-Remedios, La Aurora, El Limon, Le Ye, Los Mangos, and Cordero. The Machuca Property is positioned alongside a crucial section of this regional fault construction and shows a number of indications of high-grade gold mineralization.
QA/QC Assertion
Soma follows a complete QA/QC program to make sure the reliability of assay information collected from its exploration packages. All samples are sawn, or break up in half, with one half being returned to the core field for storage. The second half-core is positioned in a labelled plastic bag with a tag, doc, and sealed for cargo. Batches of samples are shipped to Actlabs Colombia SAS (Actlabs) in Rio Negro with safety tags and documented chain of custody.
Pulps of every pattern are ready in Rio Negro. Pulp samples are then shipped to Actlabs Canada for multi-element evaluation. All samples are analyzed utilizing package deal 1E3, an ICP-MS evaluation that gives the focus of 51 parts. Fireplace assay evaluation for gold and Silver is accomplished by Actlabs in Rio Negro. Thirty-gram aliquots of every pattern are analyzed for gold utilizing a regular hearth assay with an atomic absorption end, package deal 1A2. Overlimit samples are subjected to a further hearth assay with a gravimetric end, package deal 1A3-30, to find out the gold focus.
A complete QA/QC program has been applied to observe the reliability of assay information collected throughout exploration packages. This system contains the common insertion of licensed blanks, duplicates, and licensed OREAS requirements. Assays of the QA/QC samples are routinely in comparison with the licensed worth and customary deviations within the database.
Along with the above, the Firm declares that the acquisition of the Escondida Mine, as disclosed within the Press Launch dated July 7th, 2025, has closed.
Certified Individual Assertion
Mr. Chris Buchanan, P.Geo, is Soma’s Vice-President of Exploration and a Certified Individual as outlined by Nationwide Instrument 43-101. Mr. Buchanan has reviewed the technical info disclosed on this press launch.
