Soma Gold drills 1.35 m of 9.4 g/t Au at Cordero

Executive Summary

• Soma Gold Corp. released drill results from the Cordero Viejo zone, located 250 meters south of the Cordero deposit on the Bagre project in Colombia.
• Nineteen diamond drill holes totaling 5,587 meters were completed to infill historical drilling and determine the extent of the vein system.
• Drilling confirmed the Cordero deposit remains open along strike and at depth, adding 518 meters of strike length to the deposit.

Key Details

• Drill Program Scope: 19 diamond drill holes from surface completed, totaling 5,587 meters.
• Key Intercepts:
  • CVDDH-25-013: 9.4 g/t Au over 1.35 m, including 16.5 g/t Au over 0.75 m.
  • CVDDH-25-015: 7.7 g/t Au over 1.5 m, including 23.0 g/t Au over 0.5 m.
  • CVDDH-25-015: 6.6 g/t Au over 1.5 m, including 19.8 g/t Au over 0.5 m.
  • CVDDH-25-018: 10.3 g/t Au over 1.0 m, including 20.5 g/t Au over 0.5 m.
• Geological Impact: Drilling adds 518 m of strike length to the Cordero deposit. The deposit is hosted by the El Carmen stock and interpreted as en echelon vein segments south of the Atenas zone.
• Assay Statistics: Assays range from below detection to a maximum of 23.0 g/t Au. A total of 51 samples were greater than 1.0 g/t Au.
• Current Coverage: Drilling covers approximately 518 m of strike length and delineates mineralized quartz veins for approximately 350 m downdip.
• Specific Hole Detail (CDVDDH-25-015): Targeted the downplunge extent of a south-southeast-plunging high-grade ore shoot. Intersected three 1.0-to-1.5-metre-wide quartz veins. Widest intercept is 6.6 g/t Au over 1.5 m, including 19.8 g/t Au at 269.3 m depth. True width of this vein is approximately 1.3 m.
• Future Plans: Phase 2 drilling in 2026 will focus on improving resource confidence, testing the downdip extent of the ore shoot, and exploring for additional downdip quartz veins.
• Other Exploration Updates:
  • Phase 1 drill program at Colossa and Colossa 2 informal mines completed; rig demobilizing for maintenance.
  • Awaiting drill permits for copper anomaly on Machuca project and recently acquired Escondida mine.
  • Drilling scheduled for late December 2025 and Q1 2026 for these targets.
• Regional Context: Soma holds over 56 km of the Otu fault system, which hosts high-grade gold mineralization in late-stage brittle-ductile to brittle quartz veins.

Notable Quotes

• "Cordero Viejo is south of the Cordero deposit and outside the [National Instrument] 43-101 resource released in 2023... The 2025 drill plan incorporated what we have learned about vein geometry and orientation patterns in the Cordero deposit and successfully delineated new veins downdip of the historical workings. We are excited to continue exploration on this vein system and to bring these new resources into the 2026-2027 mine plan." — Chris Buchanan, Vice-President of Exploration
